If anyone says I&#8217;m being sarcastic or reacts with a &#8220;Haha&#8221; emoji, then I&#8217;d have achieved my first objective. If anyone likes my post or comment, presumably because they think I&#8217;m sincere or humorous and they appreciate that, then I&#8217;d have achieved my second objective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If anyone says they can&#8217;t make heads or tails of what I&#8217;m talking about, or doesn&#8217;t react at all, then I&#8217;d have achieved my third objective.
