It’s entirely necessary when I set myself up for that punchline. Was it a bit conspicuous when I mentioned a very specific body part they lack, and then made a joke?
@Gullible@sh.itjust.works
the set up and punchline worked, i think. maybe people are just sensitive to ribbing that involves mild insult about lack of education.
I thought it might have been the mild sexual angle? In any case, I’ve never had people quite this angery about a contraception joke
And their comments weirdly get instant upvotes while everyone else's (who got the sarcasm and got that you're not actually being rude) is getting mixed votes. hmm...
I get that we have broader neurodivergence here but isn't it too much for someone being THAT invested about being butthurt about a sarcastic joke?
@xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works
it is sad. and also weird theyre offended for something not directed to them. the person who was being replied to was not offended in the least.
Because that person is also him. They could have just said that and no one would care they'd just think that's a long way to go for a shitty joke.
@Gullible@sh.itjust.works
thats part of the joke, which i found funny. exhausting how something witty devolved into this. dont understand where the anger is coming from.
I don’t know whether I’d call it witty, but I’m always game to look silly for fun.
Edit: on the internet. Doesn’t work out as well irl
I’m sad that you’re willing to be a dick to someone on the internet for a silly joke. I imagine you’re also rude irl.
Bro you punched down to setup your shitty joke and now you're gonna play the don't be rude card?
It’s punching down to intentionally seem foolish for the sake of a joke? What bizarre reality do you live in? You have no leg to stand on. Like a snake.
That's punching down.
You imply they're stupid or ignorant. You imply their parents didn't teach them life lessons and you do all that while speaking down to them like you're better than them. They clearly didn't get the joke and instead of elucidating them you go on this tirade about how it's ok to be a jerk if you're making a joke. It's not.
I really feel like you missed my original intent, and now you’re just so dug in, and refusing to back off. The joke was fucking got, I promise
That's a fun way to out your alt account bud.
Let me get this straight, I was punching down on myself? I don’t mean to make assumptions, but I used to be angry all the time. It was poison to every relationship I attempted to build, which only made me angrier and more alone. I only managed to sever the loop by changing my environment, and therefore the people I was interacting with. I hope you can find something that works for you.
Hit up your local food bank to find the kindest, most endearing people to sublimate into your being.
You fuckin drama queen.
You just outed your alt. All you had to say this whole time is that you used an alt to setup your joke at which point I'll again say bad joke and that seems like look loser shit especially when you could kill the drama with like 5 words right off the bat you'd just lose face because of it.
I sincerely wish you all the best. My heart sinks further with every syllable, because I know you better than I wish I did. If you ever reach the point where you recognize that you need a starting point, shoot me a DM. Not an alt, by the way.
I pointed out your inconsistency. Offer still stands, but I’m blocking you for a few months because I’m sane. Report me for vote manipulation if you’d like.
What inconsistency? No one is hopping in your dms and I suggest you not play that game either. I already did boss.
You contact my admins yet or did you recognize your misunderstanding in the meantime?
So add outright liar to the list. Yes you've been reported no it's not a mistake, you should try to keep your alts separate when you reply.
I’d recommend sending another one, as they usually respond more quickly.
Neat.
So you recognized your mistake, then?
Dude no you've already been reported, do you want me to send another request and attach your comments trying me to do so?
I dunno why you're so I'm your feelings about this but let it go dude you got caught, it's ok.
If you feel it would improve your odds of achieving your goal, whatever that might be, I’d recommend it
I feel like you could be less of a persistent weirdo.
If it's a joke it's a shitty joke.
If it's not you're just doubling down.
Barring all that being a douchebag to people who don't "get" your brilliant fuckin joke is.... Douchebag activity who could have guessed?
Did... did you click the link?
I don't need to it says it's the contraceptive in the url.
No one didn't get the shitty joke, people have an issue with the shitty way they set it up.
Here's a fun one, did...... did you read the rest of the comment chain before asking redundant questions?
Somebody put their diaphragm in the wrong way this morning.
Ya huh. Good one
You’re clearly upset that you believed I was insulting you even after I pointed out that I wasn’t. I’m not sure what you want from this interaction, at this point
You're clearly not checking usernames, you didn't insult me.
No one asked you for anything boss so the answer would be nothing, find a way to not be a prick to setup a shitty joke i guess?
I know you weren’t the original person, and yet you’re clearly upset. I can only assume it’s because you felt personally insulted.
I think I’ll continue playing the fool to middling success. Feel free to stay endlessly angry to achieve the same result.
So, I’m under the impression that they’re white knighting for my original comment asking ‘what diaphragm?’ which if anyone want to get all fucking technical, was me punching down on you. So, I don’t know, wtf is this thread?
Hey, just wanted to apologize for getting you involved with an insane person. Wish you all the best.
Doubling down again, cool.
I don't think you have much choice but to play the fool boss.
