    Do you people actually need “/s” to not be annoying? I added the fucking smug face and everything.

      Ah yes, starting out with you people, the nicest way to do things. In case you didn’t realize plain text loses intonation and body language. Makes it hard to understand certain implications.

        It doesn’t if you aren’t just dying to catch someone being stupid. I don’t care about being nice, this is the first time in my entire life that someone has admitted to expecting me to be nice online. /s

          I guess we have different online experiences. Have a good one.

            Okay, well this time I did put the “/s” and you guys still got mad about it, so I don’t think I’ve done any wrong here.

                Right, I forgot you guys also think of it as an insult if someone says you got mad.

                  I’m not insulted nor mad. Have not seen anyone else react. I’m just confused about your reaction.

                    Well, I tried being nice to y’all. Interaction done, never trying that again

                    Edit: be sure to notice the distinct lack of “/s”

      I’m with you, I refuse to use it. If my comment gets downvoted because of that, then so be it.

      Why try to be funny only to immediately compromise it?

        I think it also depends on context. If you’re being “sarcastic” about something that could be harmful to someone if genuine, then it’s better to make that clear and avoid potentially doing that harm. In this case, I’m making fun of Reddit and ads, no harm done.
