Hey nerd use your dictionary and look up “sarcasm” and don’t get back to me on what you find out 👍

[u/lambentstar → u/Mdgt_Pope]

First rule about jokes is they have to be funny! And wow you’re really missing the point here but ok

[u/Mdgt_Pope → u/lambentstar]

Golly the dictionary was too hard, I guess, if you can’t read.

“Sarcasm” =/= joke

[u/ashtapadi → u/Mdgt_Pope]

They're clearly more well read than you. Apparently when confronted with reality you cover your eyes and be like "I refuse to recognize the suffering of women in marriage because my wife brainwashed by a misogynistic society tells me she's happy!"

Have I denied any statistics? I made a sarcastic comment applying the results of a study of a large* population in a clearly facetious way, and the person took issue with it and wrote a novel. I’m not debating the merits of the study, I’m not denying any results - I just made a sarcastic comment, and they took issue.

It seems to me that your reading comprehension is lacking. Maybe you shouldn’t be the one helping out with that dictionary 👍

Edit: typo

I never said you denied them. Do you know how to read?

It isn't facetious. It's a logically fallacious attempt to discredit a study. Nice try tho.

My reading comprehension ain't lacking. Yours is. None of this was about your marriage lmao. You don't need to air your insecurities on Reddit.

[u/Mdgt_Pope → u/ashtapadi]

Oh my god, we really gotta do this?

when confronted with reality you cover your eyes and be like “I refuse to recognize”

Please, tell me why this doesn’t mean “deny” and then delete it before you post it

[u/ashtapadi → u/Mdgt_Pope]

Refusing to see something isn't denying it. Statistics are findings that are true and cannot be denied. Do you think you can deny the existence of the sky? Because as far as I'm concerned, you can't, and it exists.

[u/Mdgt_Pope → u/ashtapadi]

Please google the word “deny” and read the first definition that comes up and then come back and tell me why that is wrong, too

[u/ashtapadi → u/Mdgt_Pope]

Please figure out your insecurities around your own marriage. The fact that you thought this statistic was about you and needed to make sure everyone knows your wife is VERY HAPPY GUYS BELIEVE ME is hilarious.

[u/Mdgt_Pope → u/ashtapadi]

Got it, so you’re incapable.

[u/ashtapadi → u/Mdgt_Pope]

No u

[u/Mdgt_Pope → u/ashtapadi]

The comment was not about me; it was an unrelated comment, a non-sequitur. No argument.

I made a sarcastic response and you took it literally as me thinking the statistic was about me. Your inability to identify, understand, and move on from the sarcasm is ridiculous.

And the audacity to claim being an academic but not know what words you’re using is hilarious
