What a f*cking stupid thing to say, get back to work you underachiever lol

(..Is /s needed? I'm afraid of the other mentally ill people here)

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The thing about /s is that it can never hurt. It’s why we do science on “obvious” things; confirmation and clarity is always valuable.

Oddly enough the “lol” actually introduces the biggest doubt to me. It taints the commitment to the satire somewhat.

/s can never hurt, but there will always be someone saying "I hate sarcasm tags because they're for stupid people" and that can hurt

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Just remember that those are the stupid people because they don't understand that sarcasm isn't only about the reader but also the writer. Some people's sarcasm is much clearer than others and for the one's whose sarcasm isn't is heavily noticeable, the /s helps.

Also, whining about non-harmful stuff that people do that isn't what you would do instead of just living your life doing what makes you happy is generally pretty stupid anyways.

Sometimes if I think part of my comment isn’t clearly sarcastic enough I’ll go full html.

Like this:

Donald Trump is soooooo handsome

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's... beyond sarcasm. Hey, are you harassing us!?

/s btw :-P

What is even going on right now!? :-D

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I would neeeeeeveerrrrr harass youuuuuu

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

(works in Always Has Been meme... though I am not sure how, nor much clue really even why!?:-P)

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The /s is absolutely needed - and even then, sadly it does not always help:-P.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Instructions unclear, tempted to downvote to give me clarity.

..,

....

/s

As requested: WISDOM!

I find "/s" has become mandatory, else you get reddited to oblivion.

erm..../s

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Not /s - genuine:-(

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

/s is not needed outside the US. In the UK and Oz, sarcasm is assumed until proven otherwise

Yes, I don't watch too much TV so it means something different

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Don't worry, I'll always take your words ironically.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I'm a part of the problem.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Yay, we’re part of something!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Parasocial is better than no social at all

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago

Debatable, honestly.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Everyone should join some of the art and literature communities here on Lemmy and scroll something creative instead of news.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They barely seem to show up under “All”. It’s mostly doom and gloom bullshit news

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Follow me around Lemmy, I sprinkle poetry and stories all over!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Have you considered lowering the amount of doom and/or gloom that occurs IRL?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Aw thank you, I feel seen.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Go find some boobies or if you prefer some sausage and let out all the stress.

[–] dumbass 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And what if you like both but just can't seem to choose?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Infinite diversity through infinite combination is a rule 34 specialty. You absolutely can find some chick with big boobs sporting tree trunk betwicks their nethers.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

We're all sick in the head considering the inequities we tolerate.

Me too, thanks

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (5 children)

The death penalty is good. Thoughts?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I do have those on occasion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

It has been proven to not work as a deterrent and innocent people have been put to death. Pass.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

shocking to me that there's no band called Def Penalty

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hear the whispers of [email protected] call me, do you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

wow thanks for new community intro!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

I disagree. The death penalty is bad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Fuck the "justice " system. No fucking way I would trust them to find the right person.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, since you asked.......

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Don’t leave us hanging, we want to know all your mentally ill thoughts

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

The need to be so online and updated is parasitic but has been so ingrained in me. I'd like to see a trend of being more offline and out-of-sight but that's also quite ironic.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

"How many people buy what a few billionaires want em to?" Cuz it sure keeps feeling like the worst and loudest keep wanting things that coincidentally benefit the rich

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I should probably just make this my phone's home background as a constant reminder.
