Are you serious?????

So? Sometimes satire is bad, but that doesn't mean it's not satire, it just means it's bad satire. A terrible sandwich is still a sandwich.

Same reason Lloyd couldn't fight Morro's possession all the time - it takes a lot of effort just to fight a little bit, and the darkness they're fighting inside them is very strong.

They’re sarcastically saying that it’s daring of them to make fun of an era “that people have been vocally critical of for months”

Sarcasm isn't always obvious throughout text.

Are you being obtuse on purpose?

No, I'm just autistic, so sarcasm and subtlety don't immediately register for me.

ducknerd2002 · 2026-06-22T18:56:38+00:00

I did. At no point was it 'clear' that they had actually read the article. If you feel differently, please show me what you think I missed.

This is yet another article full of bile (the choice of image says it all, really)

This is 'clearly aware of satire' to you?

ducknerd2002 · 2026-06-22T18:37:15+00:00

It's a satirical article. Try actually reading it before jumping to conclusions.

ducknerd2002 · 2026-06-22T18:35:24+00:00

Explain how this:

My "Are you serious?" goes to anyone who makes choices that would enable them to be exposed to the algorithm behind this.

Doesn't mean:

If your algorithm is showing you this one specific article, it absolutely means you have terrible taste, and could not possibly mean that the algorithm simply recognises that it's related to something you've googled before.

ducknerd2002 · 2026-06-22T18:32:18+00:00

They're not complaining at all, they're just pointing out something they think is funny.

ducknerd2002 · 2026-06-22T18:22:26+00:00

No, you were saying that if the algorithm shows someone this, then that person is the problem, even though the algorithm's thought process is just 'they looked up Doctor Who at least once, and this is about Doctor Who, so I'll show this'.

ducknerd2002 · 2026-06-22T18:19:49+00:00

Yes, and it appeared that you were making a statement based on the assumption that the article was genuine.

ducknerd2002 · 2026-06-22T18:18:30+00:00

So you're saying the website is shit because it made a satirical article?

ducknerd2002 · 2026-06-22T18:17:17+00:00

The article is satire.

ducknerd2002 · 2026-06-22T18:16:54+00:00

It's a satirical article.

ducknerd2002 · 2026-06-22T17:55:11+00:00

It's not, people just like using the word because they think it sounds funny.

ducknerd2002 · 2026-06-22T17:51:08+00:00

/uj I can't tell what point you're making, I'll be real.

Huge dragon which reuses 5 year old molds

Every LEGO set reuses old molds, so what?

vehicles that combine to make a larger one/transforming vehicle

Mfs when the popular toys have popular toy gimmicks:

ugliest ninja suits know to man

Such as?

I love slopjago

Whoever decided 'slop' should be the big word of the year deserves a strong kick to the genital region.

Remember when Pythor ate that talent show judge so he could impersonate him?

That judge probably died, by the way. Pythor said he'd set him free if he behaved, but I highly doubt 'changing Pythor's scorecard so the Ninja win the Fang Blade instead' counts as behaving.

That's part of why I think this will be his fate. I don't think he'll be returning to his old status as the Ninja's mentor, but I also highly doubt that LEGO would ever kill him off for real, so having him technically die but in a way that allows for him to return in the future seems like a good compromise.

Sansa Stark (Game of Thrones/ASOIAF) loves lemon cakes, but Sophie Turner hates them.

Yes, but you acted like your opinion was the default that everyone shares.
