ANYONE can Take a Screenshot and make SOMEONE Look bad! You have TDS! Trump is the YOUNGEST HEALTHIEST 79 YEAR OLD FAST FOOD ADDICTED MAN WE"VE EVER ELECTED TO OFFICE!
You may want to add "/s" at the end of your comments…
They don’t need to.
I've done a 180 on /s tags. I used to think they were cringe. Now I just get exhausted by Poe's law with so many outlandish opinions online. Even the Onion fails to be absurdist enough to be obvious satire these days.
Not really The Onion's fault, though..
Yes, they do.
The entire account is satirical. I enjoy seeing their posts
/s is only for morons who can't understand satire, sarcasm or irony
/s is for people who don't know that the person is being satirical or sarcastic because the lack the context of intent. For a lot of users the community, user's instance, or other context provides that context in a fairly reliable manner, but it isn't perfect.
I don't bother with it, but it makes sense conceptually as a way to confirm intent.
/s
You keep using that tag. I'm not sure it means what you think it means. 😅
You forgot /s
You make an excellent point. Anyone requiring “/s” to recognize sarcasm must indeed be an idiot. After all, tone, intent, and context are inherent in written text. When prose is clear and precise, misinterpretation simply doesn’t occur. The reader’s failure to perceive subtext is a personal shortcoming, not a limitation of the medium. It’s comforting to know that digital communication, unlike speech, conveys irony with perfect fidelity. Truly, misunderstanding is only for morons.
Ah gee, now I can't tell whether your obvious sarcasm is obvious or not.
There is 100% no need for this here. Even his most deranged fans know this man is deteriorating at this point.
Yeah the succession wars have already started on the right, he's like Yuri Andropov at this point.
You gotta appreciate the performance, man. You can’t do Shakespeare and then address the audience with “I was just acting, don’t worry!”
No but srs, check their comment history, you’ll grok it no prob.
That /s shit needs to go
I mean the all caps part is technically the truth... He's the only one that meets those criteria so he's both the healthiest and unhealthiest person to meet them.
