Misunderstood Joke Defenses

Downvoters didn't probably realize the phrase was from his joke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh3TI3iMb1E

I was referencing/satirizing a well-known quote and am not a Thiel fan, please calm down

I'm going to guess and say he was just borrowing a current, in-the-news hashtag and applying it to this situation. In other words, he was just joking around.

He's obviously mocking the use of the word... can people here not understand context?

Sounds like, yes.Actually is, unlikely - a very shallow comment history dive suggests not ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46684376 ).It's a common way in native English speaking countries to disparage someone, to compare them as a small failed version of something worse.It's also confusing to non native english speakers, and even to people from "mismatched"

I use that word as a joke/metaphor - sorry if that misled you!here's more of an explanation if curious: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40564558

He was making a sarcastic memetic reference.Your question isn't very answerable.Ask a more specific or meaningful question.

what are you talking about? how does that article have anything parodying this statement? i think you misunderstood the statement. what did you think my statement meant?

I thought it's a mediocre April 1 joke, but turns out it was done before today.It replaces "helps" with "theylps" and "many" with "persony". Yes really.I mean if you are going to virtue signal, at least you could bother to check out decades of accumulated experience on the topic. It's not like the first time such things are discussed. If it's a satire, it's lazy. If it's for real, inexcusable as anything beyond elementary sch

> you're experiencing what's called "crimestop"I think they were being sarcastic, and that you're experiencing what's called "Poe's law." ;)
