It’s definitely not as clever as before. You need to balance the absurdity with a sort of cracked relevance, not just random falsehoods.

Can I ask what I’m sure everyone is thinking, how are any of those things improved by being tiny?

If you’re not familiar, Farrow & Ball is a trendy interior wall paint brand for posh people who like to initiate conversations by pointing out the quirky name of their overpriced paint. The name is part of the product being sold.

You’re probably right. I can see how someone who sees being corrected as hurtful choosing to interpret a simple request that way, I suppose.

You said what they’re doing seems like sealioning. Not sure how any of us are supposed to infer that you’re not talking about the subject content you’re commenting on.

I affirmed the rest of your opinion other than the trendy label you then put on it. Not sure why that makes me a douchebag, but then with me not being American there might be subtleties to the term that I’m not aware of like “calmly suggests you might be misusing a term”.

One question can’t be “sealioning”. Sure they aren’t curiously looking for an answer, but that’s not what sealioning is. Click your own link.

They’re talking about the USB port. Which might have been inferred from “24 pins”.

Do you understand what the word “dynasty” means? It isn’t “famous family”. Definitely not “famous because dad got elected to high office”.
