I remembered to tick the "sarcasm" checkbox.

Small update re: my condition. The ultrasound didnt find a hernia, although it was an amazing amount of fun (sarcasm) having some unknown lady groping me for 30 minutes and leaving me with a small towel to deal with the literal POOL of liquid that they use to make the sensor work.

The right testicle has went down in swelling some, but it is still about 2-3 times it's normal size and it is uncomfortable sitting for any length of time.

I'm almost done with the medication they gave me (doxycycline because they think it got infected and prescription aleve, which is nigh useless for the aching pain) and I am due to go back on the 21st for a re-evaluation.

If the swelling doesn't go down more, they may want to discuss methods of draining the excess fluid. Not looking forward to that. Hopefully I will be back soon, bear with me.

Glad to know....I couldn't see the wink and grin in your post, and I forgot someone had said that in the video, I watched it yesterday. Sorry I took you seriously.

Sadly, before you could clarify, you already have others defending it as honest truth. I wish I could have just assumed you were joking, because no one believes such nonsense, but obviously not.

What say we both hit sarcasm?

To be honest, I was rooting for the polar bear.
Not sarcasm.

Because it was absurd. I would have put the JUST JOKING thing in except I only have the SARCASM thing.

*quality dripping with sarcasm *promote just how I like it! I love Seattle [even though I don't recognize it anymore]

As odious as this is, I think that collecting a montage for the purposes of commentary (even if the commentary is implied rather than stated) is probably Fair Use.

@BSR that’s what the sarcasm box does... it adds “jokingly” between your name and “said”.

I would have except the only option I have is, SARCASM. I don't have the JUST JOKING checkbox.

I apologize to everyone who can't tell sarcasm without a checkbox.

I took it as sarcasm though.

Sadly, he (hopefully not willfully) has missed the point of "Whataboutism" entirely. The issue is not saying "what about..." this other thing about the thing we are talking about, but rather, when you say "what about..." this thing about something entirely unrelated. As an example, from his video, If someone were to say "Jeeze, Bush really wasn't that bad", you would be fully within your rights to say "What about all the people he inadvertently killed?".

It's when you, for example, say "Trump is a lunatic" and the response is "Yeah, but what about how Hillary sold children for sex in a pizza shop" that people have a problem with. The current Republican way of handling anything tricky is to throw out some non-sequitur and hope it sticks, while never actually discussing the original topic.

Again, saying: "Hillary was the best Sec. State ever" and having some one say "Yeah, but what about Benghazi?" is perfectly acceptable and not at all what John Oliver et al. are complaining about.

On another note, the clips he showed relating to how democrats would love to have Bush back, are being interpreted without the understanding that they are being spoken in jest (ie. sarcasm). They don't really want him back they are just attempting levity in that they want to show how much they think Trump is unfit for office by saying that they would even take the buffoon back if they could get rid of him. This is not an approval of Bush, but a lesser of two definite evils thing.

Either she's really good at sarcasm or she's insane.

I love Red Letter Media but the Nerd Crew videos are pretty painful... sarcasm ad nauseum.

When's the next Plinkett review?

Well, at least we know the dogs are as well trained as the rest of the police.

(I wish I could click the sarcasm button in good faith here.)
