Good thing we all decided we were too sensitive for the ol' /s and that this kind of misunderstanding never happens
If you need a /s to realize that was sarcasm you don't have the reading comprehension/social skills to be on the internet by yourself anyway.
I had that attitude until I stumbled on people who clearly must live in upside-down world. The "/s" is essential for a site where that relies on text as the medium and where people will have no prior knowledge of the writer.
Sarcasm in the real world can usually be understood through body language and tone. We don't have that here.
Lol talking about social skills while not knowing that sarcasm is generally conveyed with changes and tone and other markers that aren't possible with text...
I picked up on that being sarcasm just fine. The context of the comment was plenty to assume that.
Nice job!
Poe's law is an adage of internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

Yes, those are the ones that shouldn't be on the internet unsupervised.
Thank you.
Lol oh you're being sarcastic
