This is a very common joke format, just FYI.
If I had concerns with the format of the joke, I would have pointed out the formatting issue.
The content doesn't work. If you sub in the correct word (Canada instead of Alberta) then the "joke" reply becomes: Texas, Canada, what's the difference?
Not funny, but at least follows the forms.
The correct joke would have been:
Just pretend they came from Alberta (our local yokels sometimes like to say Alberta is Texas north)).
Yikes, I hope you're one day able to find some joy in life and can look at something that is a joke you don't find funny/don't understand and just ignore it instead of whatever this is.
I absolutely love amateur online psychologists.
This is rather rich advice while you yourself dip in to engage.
But since you're engaging while clueless, I'll explain it to you. A stupid joke was made on an incorporation post about boycotting US goods. I elected to give them a hard time, specifically because the joke was poor, and flippant about an important topic. That's it.
Now, pop psychologists such as yourself, amateurs in linguistics and semiotics want to keep the ball rolling.
Be honest with yourself: When you decided to post, it was with the intention and expectation of getting a response. So tell me, Mr. Amateur psychologist, in what way does you seeking engagement with me line up with your advice to me to "just ignore it"?
It doesn't, it's just really funny
I'll throw in a giggle then
