You’re right. Your comment was very well written, and backed up with so much evidence. I shouldn’t be questioning it.

Thank you, glad you can admit when you're wrong. It shows growth.

Lol. Google “facetious” and “sarcasm”.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't unfortunately. Putin doesn't allow me to use google while I spread disinformatsiya sadness

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also you should really do the same

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s ok. Hard to pick up in text. An “/s” would have helped.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If your sarcasm needs an /s it's shit sarcasm and you've got terrible timing.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kind of validating my sarcasm buddy. The point of sarcasm it’s hard to grasp. You can leave it now.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not the point of sarcasm. Do you even know your linguistics? Sarcasm has no point - No tonal conveyance really does - but if you wanna get theoretic with it the point of sarcasm is to deliver critique without the sting, or to subvert expectations and deliver a joke. There isn't a lot of methods of communication were the point of it is to be hard to understand - though some methods are of course used to carry dual meanings to different audiences.

And there's the humility again, you really are capable of growing as a person. I'm proud of you! (tone clarifier: I'm still being sarcastic)

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m still being sarcastic

No shit.

Dude, so sarcasm isnt meant to be got so easy, at least not by everyone. Take your own advice....LEARN.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It just seemed like you were having a hard time, so I decided to help you, because I'm such a nice guy!
Your comebacks are getting worse btw :(

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Obvious sarcasm is obvious.

How can my comebacks be getting worse when I havent put any? Only sarcasm....

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they're really boring now :((

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cheers for introducing me to Hexbear.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

enjoy your stay, you should probably learn about tone signifiers and other neurodivergent inclusive initiatives

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im fine with both.

Ill try not to be so deliberately sarcastic people dont realise its sarcasm. Why dont you grow and learn that people do do this?

[–] Egon@hexbear.net -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah that's totally what I meant good on ya.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LOL. Lets not forget it was you that didnt realise I was being sarcastic and had a hissy fit over it. Are you American or Canadian? One doesnt get sarcams and one really doesnt get sarcasm.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dude, I never didn't get it, I kept the joke going. Do you still not get it?

Are you American or Canadian?

Neither

Bamboozled even, I kinda thought the old-schools smileys would make it obvious

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not the first time someones told me my sarcasms wrong cause they didnt get it dude. Learn. And grow.

Seriously though, will be checking out Hexbear.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I refuse to learn. My mind is perfectly smooth, free of nasty wrinkly crevices or filthy neurons firing wildly.
You should refrain from using /s though, but tone signifiers are never a bad thing! It's a weird double standard I guess.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It’s a fucking minefield mate. All the best.
