Yes exactly! The guy in the clouds one is always most puzzling to me. His expression is basically null but everyone reacts like it means something

Are the [broad group]s okay?

Yeah see it’s not obvious if you’re being sarcastic or not…

Op had a really bad relationship

I can’t tell if you’re minimizing the problem because you think it used to be worse. If so, that’s pretty uncool, unlike the cleanups which you’re doing. Those are cool.

I think it’s true that not every landfill charges

Edit: op said they only charge for specific items at that location so it probably would’ve been free

Littering really pisses me off. I’ve seen kids throw trash on the ground when a trash can was 5 ft away. Infuriating.

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

The trust issue is so real. I can’t even imagine how different I’d be if I grew up trusting and being trusted. I knew my parents lied to me sometimes and they always accused me of it, despite me constantly getting myself in trouble by volunteering honesty no one asked for. A therapist once told me my role in the family seemed to be “truth teller”. I think she was right about that. Maybe I was overcompensating for my family lying by calling out the truth constantly.

It’s a bizarre thing for your parents to believe strangers (in one case a jerk kid who rode my bus) who make shit up, but not believe you, their child. I guess it’s them accidentally admitting they’d lie if they were in the situation they think you’re in.

Lol alright then

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

Why would you refer to your cat as a man?

I appreciate this recommendation. I’ve been trying it out for like 5 minutes and I’m very impressed! This could be life-changing and lead to me axing Spotify. Thank you kind stranger!

Thousands…? Lol probably 3
