#72664, "That's how you don't have sense of humour"
Edited on Tue 12-Mar-19 07:27 AM

          

You don't understand how a person can be serious and joke at the same time.

Let me explain this to the audience. Forgive me Murphy for I agree with you that explaining humour is a sad thing.

1) I perceive nuking edges is a bad thing for the game - this is serious.

2) There is a (I believe shaky) consensus in immland re edges - this is serious

3) I think that this consensus is stupid - this is serious

4) I use every opportunity to talk about that - now here starts humour, because talking about stupid is one of the ways how satire works. And satire is a good non-violent way of instigating change, for I am against launching rockets to Umiron's house. And I had used my veto right in the UN SC when beront proposed it.

5) I use unexpected angles to look at the problem (for example, dragging Twist inside) - this is also how humour works.

6) If you read "Twist was instrumental in nuking edges" as "Twist is bad" - it means that people believe that nuking edges is bad for the game. But Twist is largely perceived as a person that is good for the game. What we see here is a typical moral conflict - and that's where true humour exists. By laughing you realize that bad things are bad - and realizing the problem is half solving them.

Ppl saying there is no humour and I'm crying make me laugh even more, adding even more humour to the situation. So you're welcome

P.S. Rob chiming in made me sad though, because think he is genuinely a very smart person.

P.P.S. Having to explain all this makes me even sadder, so one can think that haters have achieved their ultimate goal of making me sad. (the latter is, of course, humour)
