The "I'm doing the thing you're doing but throwing it back at you" and "thanks or whatever" definitely is.

They're being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.
Getting defensive isn't necessary.
That banner SLAMMED Jeff bezoz!
I'm sure he didn't just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.
the “optimal” economic path during climate change
The optimal solution is to spend as much as you can into preventing climate change, because a dead planet has no economy. No customers = no income, no profit, no business.
But that requires looking past the next quarter.
Also I'm convinced economics "professionals" have all figured out that the whole system is bullshit that gets made up on a day to day basis by people who inherited their wealth, and just want to gift along with it. "I know it's bullshit but they're giving me money, so..."
The only things that assume infinite growth are viruses and parasites.
And the best part is, you don't have to try choosing the right one!
Just slap it all on, and each republican will happily pick the one they like best and cling to it, while dismissing everything else as immaterial to whatever discussion they are in.

Quark, you've been warned a hundred times about discussing human hunting techniques with menagerie owners.
Don't make me get Odo.
.... "FeEmAlEs"... you ferengi sure know how to raise 'em....
crazy journalistic cowardice
That's all we've been seeing since the first time Ajent Ornj was in office.
And now that they know he has no problem arresting journalists who he doesn't like, it's even worse.
All the people in charge who could do something about it are showing they are excellent at two things: placating the masses, and kissing a dictators ass.
Too many normal people are just barely making it by and don't want to lose what little they have by taking a stand, especially when they might be standing alone.
Gotta start them while they're young! Cuts back on down time for the meat grinder.
So far I have yet to see ANY form of ICE in uniform with proper identification visible, so as far as I am concerned these kidnap victims would have been within their constitutional right to defend themselves by any means necessary, using whatever force they can. If that means ICE start getting executed when they "forget" these things, well so be it. It's what they deserve for dressing like that/behaving like that/insert right wing excuse for assaulting women a minorities here.
I just repeated this to a table of 6 and got nothing but blank stares.
5 of them genuinely thought we found WMDs Iraq/Afghanistan
One had no idea what I was talking about and thought the war was entirely about the world trade centers.
I am surrounded by morons.
As an American, seconded.
I'm trapped here, don't YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.
