Do I need to add “slashies” to a joke here also? The point of the silly statement was to show the, to use your word, fun immaturity of the this post. And yes, it can be fun to argue about silly things even as an adult - see any sports discussion or conversation about the weather, (slashies). But evidently, there are a lot of people here who don’t understand the humor of such a broad and silly statement without a road map.
There is exactly zero indication that your statement is intended as humorous instead of pretentious. “Slashies” as you call them are a thing because tone and nuance don’t convey well over text.
The opening line of “The very young and the infirm” is very much over the top and the words chosen are not common use words in daily speech. Understanding the nuance and tone of the written word would seem to be lacking. People used to be able to do that as a general rule.
It explains a lot about modern education and the general tone of discourse in modern societies.
I also despise when people think it’s necessary to type ”/s" at the end of comments, but your original comment does seem more like it’s being sincere than obviously sarcasm!
