ANYONE can Take a Screenshot and make SOMEONE Look bad! You have TDS! Trump is the YOUNGEST HEALTHIEST 79 YEAR OLD FAST FOOD ADDICTED MAN WE"VE EVER ELECTED TO OFFICE!
I've done a 180 on /s tags. I used to think they were cringe. Now I just get exhausted by Poe's law with so many outlandish opinions online. Even the Onion fails to be absurdist enough to be obvious satire these days.
/s is for people who don't know that the person is being satirical or sarcastic because the lack the context of intent. For a lot of users the community, user's instance, or other context provides that context in a fairly reliable manner, but it isn't perfect.
I don't bother with it, but it makes sense conceptually as a way to confirm intent.
You make an excellent point. Anyone requiring “/s” to recognize sarcasm must indeed be an idiot. After all, tone, intent, and context are inherent in written text. When prose is clear and precise, misinterpretation simply doesn’t occur. The reader’s failure to perceive subtext is a personal shortcoming, not a limitation of the medium. It’s comforting to know that digital communication, unlike speech, conveys irony with perfect fidelity. Truly, misunderstanding is only for morons.
I mean the all caps part is technically the truth... He's the only one that meets those criteria so he's both the healthiest and unhealthiest person to meet them.
Im about as anti trump as it gets, but that is misleading. Watch the video. Trump gets up to help almost immediately, and then decided there was already enough people crowding the guy. Not only that, but immedietely after Trump decided against helping because it was at best unneccassary and at worst an active detriment(imagine donald j trump trying to help you in a medical emergency, absolutely terrifying), the white house medical staff specifically told trump to stay back. There is soooo much bullshit that trump has done to legitamately endanger lives, but this isnt one of them. In fact I would say this is the one time he made the right call that I have ever seen
Ninja edit: although strictly speaking, what you said was 100% factually accurate, i dont want to give the implication i was calling you a liar
Also it looked like he might have tried walking toward it and secret service guy held up a hand to stop him. So I think it was the agent who recognized that the situation was handled without Trump, and Trump was just kind of lost after that,
Look, I took the liberty of examining that president when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting at its desk in the first place was that it had been nailed there.
Everyone will become disabled at some point in their life. If you're lucky it's at the very end but it is as certain as death itself.
Edit:
Dear dummies saying "bUt in SudDeN aCCiDeNtS" learn about Planck time and shut your dumb faces no one cares about your technically incorrect yet still obnoxiously irrevelant to the larger point nitpicks
As dumb as bigotry is, ableism is truly one of the dumbest. Becoming disabled is something that everyone has a high likelihood of eventually becoming, in one form or another
There’s a video of someone collapsing behind him from yesterday with dr oz and he seemed to be wearing the same suit with his tie off to the side like that, I just want to see the clip that screen cap is from.
I know right!
looks just like grandpa Nurgle.
Ill tell you nobody is healthier than nurgle. There's so much life there. Life you would not even believe exists. the best life. There is so much life, people say thats too much please stop.

Ah gee, now I can't tell whether your obvious sarcasm is obvious or not.

There is 100% no need for this here. Even his most deranged fans know this man is deteriorating at this point.

Yeah the succession wars have already started on the right, he's like Yuri Andropov at this point.

You gotta appreciate the performance, man. You can’t do Shakespeare and then address the audience with “I was just acting, don’t worry!”
No but srs, check their comment history, you’ll grok it no prob.

He's looking more and more out of touch.
Someone collapsed during an event in the Oval Office and he just stood there, looking at the cameras.

Same press event
DagwoodIII@piefed.social · 7 pts · 314d
I'll be honest. I try not to look directly at him, or listen to him speak.
I leave that to those with stronger stomachs.

Not a bad way to live.
Peace and love are fantastic forms of resistance.

Well, of course it was nailed there. Otherwise, it would’ve muscled up to the door and VOOM!

Not necessarily, some people die young and fast
