People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

You do if you have nothing to feel happy or successful about.
Children aren't and shouldn't be responsible for making their parents happy.
That was my point. People with nothing to be happy about often use their children as substitutes.
Oh, you're simply shitting on parents because they decided to become parents. Got it.
No, I'm shitting on parents who had kids because they thought the kids would fix their problems.
Reading comprehension is just fucking gone these days, isn't it?
Are you commenting on yourself? Those quotes back what they said...
Their original statement doesn't specify that they're shitting on specific types of parents, they simply answered that parents have kids when they don't feel happy about anything.
You're correct, they didn't explicitly spell it out for you. Because that's not how sarcasm works. You comprehended it incorrectly.
Reading sarcasm from text is notoriously difficult and with the amount of hatred towards women/parents and children on this site, well, sometimes I'm going to read it wrong. So be it.
Then why are you doubling down after you've been informed it was sarcasm?
You want my comment to be serious so you have something to be upset about.
I admitted I read it wrong, how is that doubling down?
Classic false dichotomy
I guess the sarcasm wasn't as apparent as I thought it would be.
People really misunderstood this comment. Yikes.
My sarcasm wasn't as apparent as I had hoped.
