there's a certain level of sarcasm that shouldn't require "/s"

Thank you!

It's hard enough holding back sarcasm all day, when people miss obvious sarcasm, it is painful and it can lead to life problems.

Feel free to vent here about your sarcasm problems and addiction.

Do you walk into an AA meeting and interrupt with an excuse me, are you being sarcastic?! Have some common decency please.

If you haven't had people take you seriously IRL when you are being sarcastic, you just wouldn't understand.

You have the wrong analogy. It would to be to ask them if they are drunk.

Used at the end of an online post to indicate that the preceding post was sarcastic.
I think the format comes from programming, as in

Code: [Select]

which produces

Lol, you posted something from Google Ads. They paid to advertise the promo

And yet, they still don't want you to know about it... Hence the email.

This isn't rocket science, they do underhanded advertising buying keywords for the competition and don't want every user to know about it.

I get that different forums need different forms of engagement, and I wish you the best of luck on TikTok. I thought it was funny, that's all.

The email is super weird. How can a public promo be "unapproved?" Also, the 3 for 99 promo is quite visible by Googling CT themselves without Googling competitors

It was funny

Don't worry, wasn't lost on me. And even bad PR is good PR especially with a new venture.

Thanks! It's a whole different world than anything I've done before. But it sure seems the next generations are consuming short videos and not blogs, so as they say, you have live with the times

I told them as much... We shall see what happens.

Doubtful. It's been going on for years.

And killed. Oops.

Hopefully temporary.

Ha? I just came to this thread to say that since I saw that tweet one been served a slew of CT ads for that deal on a bunch of platforms, most recently Instagram
