  • It is because sarcasm needs tone.

    not necessarily. you need context and it comes from other places than just tone of voice.

    if someone just drops “of course star trek is woke” in the middle of written text in random place, it can be harder to decipher the intent than it would be in voice. but the original commenter did quite a good job to guide reader to understand their position on the topic. combined with what community we are in it is a no-brainer.

    yeah, sometimes there are stupid people on the internet, but sometimes a joke is just a joke. in the old days when internet sounded like a tortured robot, people used to say “be conservative in what you send out and liberal in what you receive”. times have indeed changed, but the rule still can come handy sometimes.





  • you do understand that these photos are from different place and different time, right?

    the black backpack seems more like some shoulder duffel bag to me i assume it is from the hostel checkin. people don’t travel around the city with the same luggage they used for inter-city travel.

    people also can have different clothes for different occasion, like putting on some light rain or wind-proof jacket. it can also be shitty compression from some shitty camera.

    it is the same person ffs, look at his face, that nose could have passport of its own.





  • the all country’s law enforcement was partially hyperbole, partially not. it already got a lot more manpower than average murder, the system has to protect itself here, because if this goes unpunished, other rich people might be next, and rich people are those who control the system. that is not a conspiracy, that is the way of life, as they say.

    now this guy is clearly not a professional, so who is he? he is either someone with personal motive or someone really dedicated to making a social commentary.

    if it is the former and he is someone whose close person died because of being denied coverage or something like that, that is a) the way to find him and b) it probably means he doesn’t have funds to go hide in his den indefinitely, because he would use such funds towards treatment of the person he is avenging.

    if it is the latter, than who knows, but i personally think it is someone described in the last paragraph.
