oh no, rethorical tools. what an horror
"an horror" is far scarier
boo
I mean when it's something really obvious that the entire audience already knows it's just obnoxious
I feel it's only obnoxious because it's uncreative. Theyre just using a template meme which feels low effort.
if you're right and the audience knows it's obnoxious, why do you repeat yourself? or using rethorical tools is ok when you're using them?
honestly, it's such a non issue.
It's an issue to me because it's really annoying 🤪
why use emojis if the meaning is clear? DAMN RETHORICAL TOOLS, WHY ARE THEY SO UNIVERSAL
I kinda just wanted to see what would happen if I did that lmao
(Also it does meaningfully change the tone of the message)
Yes it does, that is the point of rhetorical tools. otherwise imagine if it was costumery to send messages as succinctly as possible without any fluff or emotional tone. Communicating would be a pain.
My rule of thumb, if complaining about something annoying is even more annoying than the thing I am complaining about, it is not worth complaining about.
Can I claim your complaint about me complaining is therefore the most annoying and so I win the comment chain?
Only if we keep annoying each other until the end of time
Touché
