Oh no! Using sarcasm to create a strawman out of what I’m saying? Whatever shall I do? I suppose I must die, now and forever. Bleh! /s
Yeah, it’s all the ammo I got, but it’s better than endlessly arguing the need for the tag with an ever-changing cast of opposition. Cause that’s exhausting
Apologies. To clarify rather than being emoji snarky, it’s fine if you don’t understand what I’m saying, but I’m specifically stating that in face-to-face interactions the intent would be for the person to know you’re being sarcastic. It wouldn’t need to be stated. That ability tends to be lost in text forums, especially with strangers, which is why the sarcasm tag exists. And thus why I shall give no further quarter on this.
Fair enough
Assuming we’re talking as OP, I think the community covers the intent.
No, there isn’t. Tone is inflection in speech and body-language. In text, you might reasonably think it could be inferred, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be conveyed. And if someone is missing the inference, piling on “evidence of tone” phrases could be misinterpreted as “more proof of conviction”.
Use /s. If you get downvoted because you didn’t, that’s on you.
Or they’re neurodivergent. Or they’re fucking nazis trying to gaslight new recruits, claiming that the OP isn’t actually being sarcastic.
Yeah, but the assholes will think you agree with them, which bolsters them. It’s much more fun to write out something they agree with to a T, and then add the /s tag. Completely deflating, utter devastation.
You had a boss worthy of trust. If only they all were.
I fucking hate when you gotta pilot the Jaeger on your own. I don’t remember how necks work.
Crazily enough, living frugally is also a slippery slope to owning analog clocks.
Which is why the title says extant feline, not species.
Thinking like that doesn’t make the most precipitous stock market since the roaring 20s. Gotta go bigger till the whole thing collapses!
…I need a Stormlight community to be active here on Lemmy, the preview chapters are too much and my fiancee is waiting for the book release.
Politically active. MN is decidedly not a swing state and is here.
Sounds good to me, I’m not trying to tell you what to do. Just what I’m doing. And I’m not a mod. I don’t have the patience to deal with people.
