No, it wasn't. This has the serial killer from Until Dawn, but that appears to be it for similarities (as fast as I can see). No Wendigos either.

How will it take to reach this number once the cease-fire begins? I'm guessing less than a month.

Unattractive and awful people still desire those things, even if they don't get them. Entirely not godlike

Cool. Not for you then, eh?

"Bakery down the road is closing" the person on the street corner says to anyone listening, "here are some alternatives"

"I don't eat baked goods, they're bad for you" you reply

"O- oh okay. Thanks for letting me know... I guess. Wasn't really talking to you, then"

House Republicans pass bill to ban trans women and girls from school sports in c/politics

Implying "insanity" could be taken either way. It's insane that we're putting this much emphasis on what is ultimately an extremely uncommon occurrence, and one that objectively has no impact on the competitiveness of sports. It it's also insanity, from the perspective of bigots, that "men" can compete in women's sports. I know what they're likely getting at, but by playing dumb I can get them to out their actual position and then call them out for their bullshit.

Nancy Mace erupts at Dem in committee clash, asks to ‘take it outside’ in c/politics

I want to make something clear. Between Gerrymandering, the amount of political advertising, the overwhelming power of "lobbying" (see, legal bribes), and outright propaganda being touted as news, the American people have the smallest control over their government than ever. This is the government our oligarchs chose, one that wastes as much time doing nothing in order to let the rich rob our collective coffers.

Distance from the coast (by counties) in c/[email protected]

That's an image from Duluth, MN, the furthest port in the Great Lakes from the ocean. You think boats that big making it up some dinky river? Clearly a coast

Also, the coast guard operates in the Great lakes as well

If you don't use /s when being sarcastic, I'm going to treat your comment as being earnest (self.unpopularopinion)

Before downvoting, check the community.

If you fail to use the /s tag or specifically call out that your comment is sarcastic, I'm going to treat it as being earnest. I might ask if you're being sarcastic, but I will downvote as though you are being earnest.

The /s tag not only clarifies, but it also confirms that you're being sarcastic. A thing you cannot ordinarily convey via written text unless you specifically call it out. You can hint at it, readers can infer it, but you cannot convey it. To convey it, sans directly stating it, you would need to include a recording of you speaking the comment, which defeats the whole point of text chats.

"It definitely reads as sarcasm, you're just missing it" So what? I'm neurodivergent. I barely get this shit in its normal, spoken context. Why should I be expected to understand the implied sarcasm in your text comment?

"Telling someone you're being sarcastic ruins it" Unless your definition of sarcasm is just lying to someone's face, you do indicate sarcasm when speaking. Via the exaggerated, deadpan tone you use. Something you can't convey in written text unless you specifically call it out.

"I made it very clear via hyperbole that it was sarcasm" Have you talked to people? Your obvious, over-the-top, hyperbolic sarcasm could just be someone's opinion taken whole cloth. In fact, you probably modeled your exaggeration AFTER a person. Can you see why, if I don't know you, there's no way to tell?

"I forgot the tag" cool, if I see the edit adding it back in, I'll revert my downvote. Consider it the opportunity cost of forgetting.

"It doesn't hurt anyone" Yes, it does. You give credence to your exaggerated position that you would never take because the people who think like that exaggerated position will point to your comment as proof that they have support. It's why 4chan rebirthed nazism.

"I still won't do it". Then have fun with the downvote. You want to make the internet worse? I'll be sure that you don't get the internet points your brain craves.
