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.

And then people wonder what's the difference between downloading from Play store vs #fdroid. Not that the latter is perfectly secure either, but I trust it many, many times more. "But isn't it just about ads," they ask. That's just the tip of the iceberg!!

Chronic pain, requesting info on gloves,
Hand pain is getting worse, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for fingerless gloves I could get? What does anyone here use?
My job consists primarily of typing on keyboard and phone, hand-writing and occasional ASL, so I need something that could help there?
Thank you
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.

Support I.T. since some poor f****r has to talk to people and not tell them to go back to pen, paper, and the stone-age.
I complain a lot. I won't lie.
