He took a fucking helicopter trip to Putin's palace. Literally. How is there anybody who can't see the writing on the wall? This man is beyond compromised.
Come on my dude. They are probably just friends and ol' Vlad was just giving him a belated or early birthday gift over a lovely brunch of blinis and caviar.
~And if anyone is wondering why there's no "end sarcasm" indicator, it's because the sarcasm should be so fucking obvious that no one currently alive on this planet with access to the internet should be able to misunderstand it.~

Average Lemmy user: hold my bear
Okay, I'm holding your bear, what now? It looks fluffy, can I pet it? Is it cuddle-safe?
The bear:
Oh, Mr. Xi! We weren't expecting your visit.
It is friend-shaped
I do find it rather odd how we Millennials and Gen X had little trouble understanding sarcasm on the internet, overall, but over the last couple of years there's suddenly this huge push that we need to use '/s' to make it extra super obvious. Does Gen Z not use sarcasm?
Hmm, it never occured to me it could be a generational thing. It was a thing on reddit, but there was also a lot of pushback and ultimately good sarcastic comments tended to survive. It feels much worse here, which I attributed to demographics.
It’s for neurodivergent people imo. I sometimes have trouble with it. Plus. I’ve seen some shit on the internet. It’s hard to know these days 😆
Poe's Law gets us all once in awhile
Lots of neurodivergent people learn and enjoy sarcasm. But it does stay a little hard to recognize, yes. Adding the '/s' kind of ruins the joke, though.
Oh. I love and enjoy sarcasm. I do not pick up on it well in text because you are all strangers so the nuance for me is cloudy if that makes sense. I also browse /all and uh im generally really stoned. Lol
It seems the Russians won the war after all, as I look around at all of these clearly compromised people running our country, or trying to run the country. Half our political system is ensuring they do this without any criticism whatsoever.
The idiots have all but won. Idiocracy is becoming a reality, and I say that with no humor or jest whatsoever.
He's dirty as can be and it also sounds likely that he's a traitor in some way.
