This is waaaay too soon to be funny.
Any attempts at satire mimicing current politics will just be depressing. The politicians you're making fun of end up unironically repeating the satire, bar for bar, in a way that is worse that anyone could have imagined. Your community is pushing that line a bit too far. Personally, it's not even that I had to question whether it's satire, but rather that I knew 100% that it's satire while also realizing that someone in the White House would totally and unironically agree with some of it.
Honestly, "NotTheOnion" communities have crazier, more out-of-pocket headlines than The Onion now, and I don't think it's even that close. IMO charged satire like that community, even if it's making fun of bad people, needs a break until reality gets less chaotic. Maybe in the future this will be something we can all just "laugh off" with jokes but right now things are way more serious than that for a lot of people and these attempts at dark satire just make that worse for them even when it's obviously a joke.
It was all Pikachu's fault
Wait Kitsune Tails looks so cute I mean uhh, like a great platformer, I should get it (totally still cis tho)
There's only one achievement of the ones left that I actually care about and I haven't gotten around to attempting it yet. I've mostly been playing modded levels and doing any% speedruns.
I'm all for frequent, lower stakes quizzes but I disagree about what makes them stressful.
One of my professors did that type of thing where he would randomly ask surprise graded questions on his lecture material throughout the class. It happened multiple times every class and we'd have ~30 seconds to a minute to answer them. Despite them being relatively low stakes (because of how many there were), that was easily the most stressful class I've ever taken. Having to be constantly on edge for the entire class for a quiz without knowing when it would happen (or even worse, getting caught off-guard when it did) was exactly what made it so stressful.
I think the amount of stress that would cause would lead to significantly higher drop out rates at pretty much every level.
Why am I being called out like this?
Thank you so much for this comment! This might just be dependent on my individual family, but do you think there's anything I can do to emphasize that I'm being serious and it isn't a phase or anything? Or will it just be a matter of it happening over time?
Thank you so much for this comment!! I really appreciate it ❤️
