Not as silly as the fucking Nazi you people are defending.
Chance 3 to actually read my comment?
The rule of the contemporary internet is to assume sarcasm is dead. My apologies if you’re the one keeping it alive.
If not, fuck a Nazi.
See, a lot of people don't like to put the /s but sometimes it's required. I read it the way you meant it, but I could easily see how people wouldn't see the satire, as it's a bit on the nose. If you wanna do satire or sarcasm, you really should throw in at least one part that is truly absurd to let people know it's not actually defense, or throwing quotes around it if you're wanting to be more subtle. Also you need more exclamation points if you're going to mock the right.
I mean, I wrote what I believed to be the most absurdly on-the-nose propaganda center dialogue. If suddenly and randomly shifting my manner of speech, omitting punctuation, and asking whether I should add that Elon musk is good at video games isn’t enough, then I’m stumped
Truthfully, though, I joke for me. If someone else gets a giggle out of it, I certainly enjoy it, but that matters far less than my own gratification here
I get that. I love to oversell bad dad jokes. The overselling is what makes it so funny to me, because the jokes are inherently bad.
Groans and giggles are gifts of equal value. You get it
