HG, it might be good for you to try seek true connections with the people around you. Sarcasm is fun sometimes for the person engaging in it at the time. But that’s about as far as its utility goes. Those to whom sarcasm is directed virtually never change what they are doing in response to it. For others who see it or hear it merely increases their stress or pain. The most mature among us have sworn it off as unacceptably antisocial and sociopathic.
Move on up to irony and satire, HG. More high-minded and likely to get the desired reaction without undue collateral damage.
I was a lot more sarcastic in my young years (believe it or not). I toned it down simply because it hurt people unnecessarily - and it was often merely an ego-prompted thing.
(But I proudly backslide, when it’s truly useful...it’s sorta like swearing.)
HG, it might be good for you to try seek true connections with the people around you. Oh HELL no. That's how you get Covid and MunkyPox.

It IS. I like it pretty fine.

Well I don't care. Ain't my job to change anyone's mind.

If they disagree with me and have stress or pain.. that's supposed to be bad somehow?

Your nursing home's policy interests me not at all.
The "most mature" goobers are eating pudding and wearing diapers.

Movin' on up, to the East Side...

Did you just assume my "desired reaction"?
