I can't tell if this is satire.
- metaphorm 10y agothe fact that you can't is itself an indicator as to what has happened in American culture, in general.
- benmcnelly 10y agoI can't tell if you are commenting on him being part of a clueless American culture, in general, or that his quandary is because the aforementioned culture problem.

- switchbak 10y agoThat statement adds literally nothing to the conversation. Very much like your parent statement. If you're going to comment, can you at least try to inform or challenge me/others?
- metaphorm 10y agocomment I responded to asked a question in the form of "A or B". I evaluated their question logically. what do you think I owe you in terms of "informing or challenging" you? at some point you'll have to actually interpret my comments yourself and figure out what I meant. how explicit do I need to be? we're talking about indicators that point to what has happened to American culture and society. A comment expressing confusion as to whether or not "behave like reasonable adults" is a satirical statement is quite revealing, don't you think?
- grb423 10y agoI'm afraid "the common good of the community" and "accepting and accommodating the needs of others" is problematic in today's culture, especially on the campus. What is reasonable if my "need" is to see cisheteronormative orthodoxies quite literally burned down?
- metaphorm 10y agois that a rhetorical question?
- rrggrr 10y agoNot to pile on the commenter, but I agree. If you have to ask if this is satire you either lack experience (most likely) and will later in life understand; or you lack self-awareness and will never understand.
- sebringj 10y agoI was just going to write that and you beat me to it. Who really would seriously follow this? Possibly the same people who argue passionately about coding standards over being productive? Just struck me as silly.
- Zak 10y agoReasonable people can argue passionately about coding standards in a conversation about coding standards, but make compromises about coding standards when it's time to actually complete a project with other people.
- sebringj 10y agoZak, you have a pretty high Karma so you just down vote me because you don't like my opinion and I certainly wasn't rude or harsh in my language. Is that reasonable?
