Friends have told me before that I often miss sarcasm.

Found the STEM major.

M. Sc., occasionally published science researcher and post graduate instructor.

On top of missing sarcasm, kids in FPS games razz me for speaking too formally.

There is something wrong with me, lol.

Don't worry about that one. It's one of the few cases where the children are in fact wrong.

Why else would you be post graduate instructor?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Check if it's autism.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ain't nothing wrong with that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Happens to the best of us. :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Not just the best tho, I got it too

How so? Because you don't elaborate on you will fuck their mothers?

Are you also a millennial who uses an android phone?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They're superior phones.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I mean you're not wrong lol. I only mentioned it because of the comma before an "lol" at the end of your sentence. I have android and it started correcting my "lol grammar" with commas as well.

I like to punctuate with "lol" dammit, I don't need it to be grammatically correct!

People tell me that irl rather than online :/

It happens to the best of us. :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Haha, nice one

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (3 children)

See, this right here, I'd have taken that as genuine. Why am I like this?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It is genuine! Amg 😅🥲

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There are a lot of people like you, and it is why the use of /s is necessary, and in my opinion a good thing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Especially since we cannot hear tone out of our screens.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, it's frustrating that a lot of people don't seem to get that, they just assume that how they interpret it is how everyone must see it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I believe it was genuine and the person you responded to was messing with you or misunderstood. It does happen to the best of us, and the smiley face seems like a reassuring gesture.
