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
Probably not, not exactly. Because having a child is clearly a bad investment.
When you make a child you have to keep track of how much money you spend on them, from conception all the way through adulthood. when they turn 18 you hand them the bill, with interest and accounting for inflation. It doesn't have to be a bad investment!

what do we post to indicate sarcasm when it might not be obvious? i don't want to do /s because that's reddit shit but idk
we don't do that here because we're not cowards
you indicate sarcasm by posting better sarcasm
I like when people use the smug emojis for that like
Yea, if you're a common fool or typical rube. The more tax advantageous way is to structure all child expenses as losses.
BTW you're supposed buy and use SarcMark™
Emojis can help express emotion or intent sometimes. And as far as Reddit shit goes I think /s is pretty good and useful.
/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?
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
What I'm saying is it doesn't matter. So what if someone misunderstands your sarcasm for 5 seconds lol
im autistic and i very much need tone indicators sometimes.

I usually use the
pink textto indicate sarcasm or express mockeryHow do you do the pink text? I'm either stupid and overlooking it or it's not in the help document.
If you click on the 3 vertical dots under a post you'll see a view source button at the very end. Click that and it'll give you the raw input of what was typed. For the pink text it looks like
single backtick on either side`Never knew that - thank you for the tip!

i like full italics to suggest i'm putting on a voice. From there, people can work out what flavor of facetiousness i'm aiming for from word choice
just do it, avoiding making your thing more accessible to the most people purely for aesthetics is silly, plus its just an internet thing. i was using tone indicators before i knew what reddit was, because i was autistic and so were most of my friends.
