I didn’t think you could make this shit up, honestly

My sister works as a contractor and has run-ins with private schools occasionally and whatever you’ve heard about these parents, it’s worse than you can possibly imagine. I never would’ve thought someone would be so proud of the fact that they treat their children like pawns and clearly something to check off on a life list or some bullshit.

I am struggling to wrap my mind around it. In the year 2023, it is common to ask two dating people when they plan to get married and have kids. Which alone wouldn’t be a bad thing, but these questions are so fucking ominous now that I have this knowledge. Fuuuuuuuck me

/s is like peter griffin explaining a bad joke immediately after the joke is told

If you need to mark your sarcasm then you have poorly structured your sarcastic remark

its mostly for autistic people, some of us have a lot of dificulties with sarcasm

I'm autistic and I can't stand this argument

what do you mean? i have several friends that have problems with sarcasm? why is a communication aid a problem to ypu?

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

I have several friends who are shit at understanding jokes too and I'm still not going to explain every joke immediately after making it

Not every autistic person has the same symptoms as you

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

What I'm saying is it doesn't matter. So what if someone misunderstands your sarcasm for 5 seconds lol
