They should GET A JOB! And don't you COMMIES tell me that Wages won't cover a one room rental because that's a LIE! I BOUGHT my house 30 years ago working as a JANITOR! Kids today are just LAZY! GIVE me my Social Security you COMMIES!
College only cost me $25 and a jug of corn liquor and when I got out, they immediately made me president of a metal fabrication company! What are these lazy millennials complaining about?
HE'LL YAEH BORTHER!!!!?!!!!
It just seems like really sarcastic trolling to me.
I realize there's a higher than normal level of autism on Lemmy in general but sometimes the obvious sarcasm people miss is just wild.
Ever since 2016, people's ability to detect sarcastic comments without the "/s" tacked on has just fucking gone out the window. People are just taking comments at face value and assuming the worst in each other anymore. I kind of get it sometimes though, there does seem to be alot of stupid people online, though in some cases it's like people are purposefully misinterpreting comments. It's so weird.
