I’ve done a little bit of language studying and one thing I heard about repeatedly is that people tend to mistakenly believe in their own exceptionalism.

Like, their own native language has idioms, and they just assumed that other languages didn’t have idioms.

But we are all humans and languages are all going to exist in support of human communication. Therefore, you should assume that all languages have all major features of expression, including idioms and sarcasm.

Similarly, cultures are made from humans and to facilitate human interaction, so you should expect that things like sarcasm will exist in every culture.

Ooh, the headline is slightly misleading. It should say, “A desperate nobody who sees his misguided startup failing starts a self-promotion campaign to try to get money from rich people.”

I’m still surprised that all of the January 6 insurrectionists could just storm the capitol building without being shot. They were breaking into the main building that had all of our lawmakers in it at the time, and only one of those morons was shot. Only the stupidest one. The queen of morons.

And did you notice what happened after that idiot was shot and killed? Nobody else tried to go through that window.
