You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
I don't think Byrne cares, this is somewhat special to Ele though

There's nothing ironic about Elegiac having the most posts and there's nothing ironic about me making a jab towards people who care about post count.

I think you're trying to say you were being sarcastic with your "this matters", but sarcasm isn't instant irony. There would have to be something ironic about you sarcastically saying that "this matters" for it to be ironic.

Sarcasm can make use of irony, but it is not irony.

Intentionally ridiculing an expression or idea is sarcasm. You are not honestly saying that post count matters and therefore are not being ironic. You ridiculing the idea is par for the course and not counter to expectations so therefore it falls under sarcasm.

i don't think you actually know anything

Ok see, this right here is ironic.

Here's the thing the defining characteristic between irony and sarcasm is one is deliberate while the other is unintentional. Which is why for your comment to be ironic you would have had to have been sarcastically mocking the notion of post count mattering while you honestly believed that post count mattered.

You intentionally mocking the notion of people giving a shit about post count is entirely expected since it's fairly well known that you don't care. Therefore you are not acting counter to expectations since the expectation is that you would mock the people who think it matters.

or, you could look at it from a different angle

this notion of irony being contingent on "expectation" is an arbitrary load of shit, and that's where all the confusion comes from when defining the term

not everything unexpected is ironic--that's just stupid
and it's a poor litmus test for irony in general

you're basically saying that if i receive mail on a sunday, that's ironic
if someone turns on the lights during the day time, that's ironic

no, irony is when a fireman burns his house down

this post falls under that type of irony, and if you can't see it, you're blind

Damn, me and Byrne need to step up our shitposting if we ever hope to match his again.
