Re: Petty annoyances

NAYRT

The idea is that your opponent's position is so ridiculous that even having to take the time to refute it is funny

lmao

I think you just nailed why I hate it. It's because it's hardly ever used in cases where the person's position actually is so obvious that having to state it is laughable. Take my example about white privilege. That's still a thing lots of people do need explained to them. You can't expect the average person to be woke enough to automatically know about it and its ties to racism. So using "lmao" to mock things like that is a bit like if a calculus professor described an equation to students having trouble understanding it and unironically ended with "I mean, duh." It's gaslighting people on their level of intelligence (or woke points)

It really depends on the context for me. There are times when I think it's appropriate.

DA

I always thought it had to do with the person feeling awkward about having to explain something that by their (possible) standards, should be common knowledge...
Like they weren't sure if what they were responding to was a (very bad) joke or not?
