The usual misunderstanding. Trying to learn how to naturally speak their language while still saying what I am intending to say.

No, this is not obvious at all. It just come across as parachuting into a joke post that’s getting attention and rambling about something completely off topic. Like if I spat out 3000 words about the market price of lobster in response to this post.
People can’t hear your thoughts. If you don’t include your priors or your thought triggers in the actual comment, you’re just having a public conversation with yourself, in front of someone else’s audience.
You say this as if the fact the human mind is always interpolating data isn’t a known fact. That’s why some people pick up on sarcasm and some don’t. Some people ARE psychic to the extent that they can read cues that are invisible to people like me.
For example, the response to my comment struck me as an incredibly ableist statement.
But I’m betting the author would respond that it wasn’t his intention at all.
And my reply to that would be, so it’s my fault for not being psychic during my initial comment, AND my fault for not being psychic during the reply?
Hardly seems fair to me.
