Holy shit take the L.
No one here disagrees with that, or is unaware of the "sUbTeXt".
That's just not how subtext works. You don't get to say one thing, then claim you meant something entirely different (the reasonable take) and call it subtext.
We can't take the L they have to be right because... Reasons
God the trolls are out in force today. What did a new round of funding come in from Russia?
Ah, mericans...
You're not doing your home country any favors. Your inability to understand the situation is astounding really. Where are you from that made you so damn smart?

If that was a typo for America, and you are trying to say you're American, you've got at least one thing in a prior comment that's a dead giveaway that you are not.
Wat? I made one comment replying to one word in which a letter was replaced with an exclamation point. I wanted to be sure I didn't misunderstand anything before I said too much. Where did I claim to be smarter than anyone, and what evidence did I make to the contrary?
Again... Wat?
I am friends with nobody here, even if someone was sympathetic.
I am, in fact, a programmer (old enough to have not learned any language as a child) and am well-aware that "!" means not in many languages. I also have enough self-awareness to realize that not everyone would make that connection, and figured someone may have hit the symbol button on their phone keyboard instead of shift and hit "!" instead of "A". Somehow that seemed more plausible than "assume everyone knows programming syntax, even in a place like Lemmy, and choose to use that"
Fun fact: my job has made me dabble in a system so old and archaic, it uses "'" (single-quote, to save you a squint) as the "not" operator. "!" is used for newline.
Your submission in "TikTok tells LA staff impacted by wildfires to use personal/sick hours if they can't work from home" was removed for Rule 3.
The last sentence violated rule 3.
