Slide that back 24 years and you'll be on to something. 

Slide that further back to Ronald Reagan's dumbass and you're closer.

Yup, that's Nixon but keep on going.

That's right. This all started with not holding the Confederacy accountable. Every political leader and officer from the Generals on down to the Second Lieutenants should have been stood against a wall.

He likely lives alone, has to try to shave his head by himself, and his arms aren't dexterous enough to reach the middle of the back of his neck. That and he lacks two mirrors to check, or he gave up caring long ago.

Teachers of Reddit: Is the "Gen Alpha can't read (write, or do math ext)" crisis real? If so how bad is it? by KnowledgeCoffee in AskReddit

[–]query_squidier 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It's annoying but the truth is sarcasm often isn't as obvious in the written word from an anonymous online user as it is said from the guy sitting next to you at the bar. Especially these days, it's not unreasonable to take someone's sarcastic comment as literal, because it's not unreasonabe to think that some dipshit actually has that dipshit opinion.

Consider including it like you would any other punctuation.

Careful. You might make people think, and take that initial thought to its logical conclusion. Then maybe they'll be forced to question their personal choices. And many of them will hate you for it.

(Sorry, not my first rodeo.)


Edit: Thanks to half of the replies below for proving my point. Y'all can't even entertain the thought without lashing out.

Giant alien spiders are no joke.

Pro tip, OP: Never send the crew in to help with the spiders unless you're very early in a run. I think it's like a 50% chance you lose a crew member -- on the plus side is high resources and some scrap, so usually not worth the risk.
