    Ding ding ding.

    I’m lost on how so many people seemed to take me listing the countries I did followed by the description of them as having “run on compassion for others and doing the right thing for the last hundred plus years” and seen anything other than sarcasm.

    All of the listed countries have been responsible for the deaths of mass numbers of innocent civilians, and kids, and nuns, and nuns carrying infants who were carrying baby kittens over the last 100 or so years. Fuck, more than one of them has been responsible for that in the last few months.

      I covered a few bases and was very wordy in my other comment to you, but otherwise yeah that really did not land for the majority. FWIW sarcasm was my first take.

        Nice. To be fair I was super high yesterday and couldn’t stop typing. Switched ADD meds yesterday morning and am now trying to adjust to a larger amount of a different form of amphetamine. Not an awful problem to have, but understandably likely confusing to try to translate from the outside.

          Aha I also was commenting way too much last night. Hope the meds go well - my healthcare provider often mandates a gradual switch of taking both together, and increasing one while decreasing the other, mainly to mitigate adverse effects. If you switched suddenly that would be hella rough.

          You don’t need to justify anything, and thanks for sharing 🙃

      In my case it was a combination of it being hard to read sarcasm online in many cases, especially if you are not already familiar with the author, along with the number of times I run into “You don’t support A? That means you support B!” in political discussions.
