It’s not that people are incapable of picking up on nuance, it’s got more to do with it being reeaaally hard to convey tone through text. Like it would be hard to fully grasp all the finer points of a psychological movie if instead of watching the movie, all you had was a text version of the dialogue.

Personally I’m a fan of using an ‘/s’ marker, but inside of a spoiler tag.

In a functioning society, we wouldn’t have to rely on the “philanthropy” of rich people to fund good causes. It should not be possible for one person to hoard so much wealth that they get to personally decide which issues get ignored.

To interject with a somewhat pedantic point, nothing is truly apolitical. But there is something to be said about sensing the proper time and place to start a political argument.

Except the marketing in this case is actually more accurate. Using ‘kilo-’ to refer to 1024 of something is a straight up misnomer. The Ancient hackers really cursed us with an ambiguous convention for counting bytes.
