Dr. Quadragon ❌@mastodon.mltoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•I'm feeling like just hiding in bed for the next 4 years. Friends on Lemmy, got any advice for us Americans coping with the oncoming shit show that is the Trump GOP takeover?

Fucking hell, people, go touch some grass, go meet real human beings. Not everybody adheres to the moral code you construct in your head, and that is FINE!!
@comfy There’s a certain art to using sarcasm and other forms of irony on the Internet.
Irony only works if everybody is in on the joke. Even the butt of the joke, unless it is your explicit intention to offend them. Otherwise, it’s just being an insufferable asshole. Because you end up just confusing and/or offending random people. No bueno.
My recipie: read the room. If you’re unsure your irony will be recognized, don’t use it. Just fucking don’t.
