A Washington state mother and her 6-year-old son have been released after spending more than three weeks in US immigration detention due to a brief trip to Canada and a small paperwork mistake, her attorney told CNN on Saturday.
We used to, but too many arseholes used it as social cover. They would say something racist/sexist etc then, if it turned out people called them out, they broke out the “it’s just a joke” card. By tagging at the beginning, they lose that excuse. 90% of the time, it’s not needed, but we also don’t want the arseholes hiding behind us. I’d rather clarify than help them.
It also helps, since this is an international community. What is obviously a joke to you, won’t be to another English speaker from elsewhere. Let alone someone with English as a second language.
The point is, if youre consistently unfunny you should be asked to stop and wear the shame suspenders whether its because you genuinely tried and failed, or because youre a nazi piece of shit.
Also ig f you’re a nazi you should get the whole ‘midsommar angel’ treatment. But wear the suspenders while you wait.

The key to jokes is that they are at some point funny.
If they aren’t, you should be ashamed of them.
Context also matters. A funny joke to 1 group will fall flat with another, without the social context.
It’s also worth notice that /jk indicates a joke, while /s indicates sarcasm. They are related, but not the same thing.
