If you're worried your sarcasm might be too ambiguous, just include the word "totally" in there somewhere. Or just say it's sarcasm. Or say "not to be sarcastic but" if you wanna go for irony points. Or add "/s" to the end like the geeks do. Or use the interrobang in place of a period, which one glorious nerd proposed as the sarcasm punctuation mark. Typography is fascinating!

Alternatively, we can all live without sarcasm. You know what we can't live without? Communication. Assholes who say you shouldn't communicate unless you understand all the intricacies of everything involved are the worst kinds of people.

cyberdecks seem like a recipe for neck strain. I would rather something that has a long poseable neck with the screen on the end so I can put it right near my face. a cybergiraffe if you will

Do not buy red dye hummingbird nectar-- it can make them sick. The best thing to do, according to certified wildlife rehabbers I worked with, is to add boiling water to sugar to make a simple syrup: 1 part white sugar to 4 parts water. Change it every few days & refrigerate leftover syrup to use later.

Bring loitering back. If you're going to be on your phone all day, at least take up space.
