    So what was the joke? People try to play off a lot of really horrific shit with “it’s only a joke”.

    For honest jokes, it’s true but on the Internet it can depend on the joke(r). There’s dogwhistles and the whole Shrodinger’s asshole as well.

        I think they meant “joke®” as shorthand for “joke or joker”. Not sure how they got code quotes into there though.

            backslash in front of the open parenthesis to avoid the “autocorrect” to ®

            \(R) = (R)

    This gave me a bit of a chuckle the first time I saw it expressed on the internet as a notion. It is annoying though as I like to hang out in the internet like I might at a friends basement in high school but others want it to be like we are actual members of congress trying to get something done. Or at least act like we might like them to act to seriously do their job.
