So yes, you have to make some assumptions. But to me it’s pretty clear that if someone is expressing anger at a possible joke that would be messed up if not a joke, they probably aren’t trolling/joking themselves. And then even if some people were, when you see people doing it en masse, I think it’s a safer assumption to assume no one gets the satire than it is for them to see a single random thing online and then get mad about what they think it means, when there are multiple possible interpretations

I never said anyone should assume something is satire. It’s possible to just not know something and not make a judgement.

I feel like it should be more like “Poe’s sometimes true thing” because satire does indeed still exist. People making assumptions is the issue.

I dated someone who in earnest believed she has no accent. She didn’t understand what could be wrong about that.

Yeah. It always strikes me as bizarre how many people online see something that would only be satire in a sane world and completely assume it’s serious. They have no doubts. Never occurred to them it might be a joke…

That movie is fan fuckin tastic

They are a known both sideser

Why would you login to…a treadmill? Why would it need internet? So you can watch Netflix on the world slowest Public computer?

The trend of having touch screens on things is horrible enough. We definitely jumped the shark with technology long ago

Hey that’s not fair. Reddit has been working hard at making itself more closed and on giving it a far shittier UI

Cool, antagonism

They want to hang him for having these viewpoints though so I’m not sure what you’re getting at

Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. I hope it lives up to the hype. I like gnome but at the same time even just the need for the extensions is annoying. Because you’re right, they can be janky really easily depending on factors.

Yep. Fuck every single person who ever told us that Trump wasn’t as bad as others. Even if technically hasn’t done as wrong as others, the trend he’s setting in motion is by far the worst thing to have happened in world history if it continues

I personally wish for his tortured death every day of my life

If only we could’ve known ahead of time

I love it. Way to go!

Voting period was never going to work in this system. And worse, voting third party is explicitly harmful to any chance of progress so fuck that

Everyone knows the goal of running a country is to make people suffer. Not to accomplish anything positive. That would be GlObAlIsM

The thing that works the least is shitting in the pool, which is what voting third party is.

no we dislike you because you helped elect trump and that was clearly your intent.
