Made a stupid comment on the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , something I haven’t done in a while. It’s been nice knowing y’all.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

So you’re going to say that and not give us a link?

Meh. Could be worse. People on FP hated me because I dared point out that a city over 30 miles outside of Detroit was not actually inside Detroit city limits....

Pissing off FP and making an Oppo postabout it is a sign you’re a true survivor.

Yeah, you’re in for a long day, even though I know you meant nothing by it. That’s one of those comments where I would probably just quietly close the door and walk away humming to myself.

Yeah, I knew it sounded snobby when I posted it but figured the sarcasm in my “complaining” showed through. I guess not.

There’s nothing wrong with your post. I thought it was pretty clear you were pointing out the ridiculousness of it, rather than brag.

Bah - FP is what it is. If you had posted the same comment here, you wouldn’t have gotten the same garbage in response. I understood what you meant, and I think most of Oppo would too—

There is no sarcasm on the internet. The internet needs a sarcasm font.

I don’t see an issue. Parents pay for a first car for their teenager, that’s completely normal. If anything, I think it’s wrong when parents that definitely have the financial means to pay for a car, even a cheaper one, make their kids pay for a first car. Those other commenters seem to be acting like your first car was a 2015 Audi S5.

Personally I don’t see anything wrong with either side of it. I get the merits of buying your kid a car, and the merits of making the kid pay for one themselves.

I certainly came across as more of a snob than I meant to, but it was intended as sarcasm.

Yep, that will be a long day for you. I got what you meant but the front page people aren’t as open or forgiving as we are :P

_Italics_ my friend. It does wonders when trying to get some sarcasm across.

EDIT: Dammit I thought that would work. How do I italicize on mobile?

Imagine if I said I was given a Lexus LS400 as my first car. They would forget it being 15 years old at the time with 200,000 miles. Lord would I get roasted.

Get a keyboard (on-screen, like Hacker’s Keyboard on Android, or physical) with a Ctrl key, then do Ctrl-I.

You may be in for a long day. Probably best to have your butler or personal assistant check your notifications for you.

Hacker’s keyboard? Well alright then!

Note that Hacker’s Keyboard is kinda shit to use as your actual keyboard (it’s a hack of the Gingerbread - as in Android 2.3 - stock keyboard), but you can switch on the fly to it when you need a Ctrl key, and then back to your normal keyboard, with that little keyboard icon whenever you’re in a text field.

Your name hints that you might have been interested in something more special than a BMW or an Audi.

That wasn’t a dumb comment, and you certainly didn’t come across as a snob from a car enthusiast perspective. The problem is that so many FP commenters are now typical internet commenters that look for ways to feel superior by judging someone else.

Let’s say I have a taste for fine antique automobiles, and a budget for a Chevy Lumina MPV.

We are living too late in time. 40 years ago antique cars didn’t have much value.

You need to have your man servant whipped for your punishment. That will teach you.

Right? I see people paying $15,000 for a Merc 540k in the 80's and I want a time machine almost more than I want my next breath.

A Lumina APV would actually be really cool, though.

An A8L might have been your first car, but the first car I bought myself was my M3. I’m sure the FP would love that.
