If you’re not, and I say this in good faith, take your own advice around your tone. Making assumptions about other people, and then doubling down when they correct you, comes across as a kind of horrible I doubt you truly are.

- JumpCrisscross 6mo agoRight, you’re a troll. Something, something Dwight Macdonald about parody needing to be smart and not bitter.
- nickburns 6mo agoNothing here is remotely parody.

- nickburns 6mo agoThis meme, too—shall pass.
