First, I did not respond to your joke, I responded to your reply. You made a declaration statement on what the MSM is and isn't reporting which I was more interested in then your original statement. Then you seem to call that one a joke as well which as I stated, doesn't seem to be a joke and if it was, I did not get the context of it. You stated Bombshell news as if this context meant anything outside of whatever meaning you believe the words mean. I was trying to deduce which media actually used this statement from MSM which was the point you made within your post. As I stated, I did not see the connection since I have been following all MSM as well as other media sources on this topic. Thus contextually, what you consider a joke lack context to the topic we were talking about. Like I said, most people who make jokes always believe someone gets it and if they do not there is a problem with that person. The joker never consider that the problem could also be the person making the joke. Your whole line appear to be, well you did not get the joke, so sucks to be you. Mine line is that your joke was neither funny, witty, cleaver and lacked imagination. Who is to say which person would be correct in this situation either way does it really matter. Its probably one of the reasons I rarely if ever tell jokes over text to strangers since I have no clue who I am talking to and whether or not they would understand if I am joking or not. Most jokes are contextual so they either hit or miss depending on the audience. Also, how exactly can you tell if someone is serious when reading text. I always wondered why people make such comments. There really is no way for you to tell how someone is serious concerning a subject just by reading a text. When you make a comment about relax as if you know me or know how I currently feel just makes me believe you are projecting your own emotions. You will never see those statements from me because I have no clue what you are feeling thus I will never guess on it. Text is way to impersonal to gleam anything more than a point either side is trying to get across. |
First, you responded to my initial post which was a reply to someone else, not you. That post included the joke about the main stream media.
Secondly, I didn't talk about what the main stream media was or wasn't reporting here. I simply made a joke about their term bombshell.
Thirdly, you tend to assume the worst about me like how I'm always not considering things. It was considered, just wasn't the case.
Fourth, I didn't think sucks to be you, I just thought it was funny that I figured it was clear enough and yet wasn't for you I guess, who also seems to have beef with me, which looks to lead to serious behavior, and even after explaining it was a joke, you still don't want to really admit it was and yet are also trying to defend it by saying it sucked. Why would I make a joke that likely nobody would be able to pick up on, or purposely try and hide it, only to then point out that someone else didn't get it? Doesn't make any sense to me.
Fifth, for people, like mods, not knowing me, who I am, how I think, what I mean, etc, I get an awful lot of negativity and warnings coming my way. Like even when I further explain myself, with further context, it's rarely enough apparently, or when it is, the conclusion tends to be that I'm a bad person either way so I must be lying or don't understand myself apparently.
Sixth, if you can't tell much from text, like meanings, feelings, etc, how can you moderate? Wouldn't you always have to ask if they were serious or not, and even then, couldn't they be joking about being serious, or vice versa? How would you know, and so how could you make a reasonable decision? Can't help but be curious based on what you've said here.
