    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

          Sarcasm should be a joke that also makes a point. In fact, even if you don’t intend to make a point, the point will fuck you over. To boot, you prolly didn’t even recognize point when you were called on it because the reply was too witty for you to clock and reply too. You just play random nonsense that seemed witty to you before you tried to land the ridiculously lucky movement you’ve made it thus far past the real enemy. You said you were a leaf on the wind before your whole point landed center in and through you.

          It’s a little comical but at least your wife and your people fixed everything and gave birth to your son!

            Dude… how fucking high are you?!?

            That is some A+ delusional ranting. Or was that /s too somehow?
