I had a public defender once and they pushed hard to take a plea, like hard hard. If I had the money for a real lawyer, it would have been in my favor.
Almost like tone doesn’t come across in written form for all the people reading it, maybe we should develop a form of tonal punctuation to show satire in forums like this.
The interrobang is purportedly for indicating sarcasm, though I and other people generally only use it as a silly “?!” ligature.
Personally, I still believe that if satire can’t be detected, either it’s shitty satire, or your audience is too dense to understand it even if they recognized it.
I can’t seem to find anything about it being used to indicate sarcasm at all, only as an exclaimed question to express surprise, and is the same thing as the symbols next to each other as you used in example.
That’s a weird attitude to take. Do you specifically hate poor people?
I took it more as a calling out that most public defenders do just churn out plea deals, not as praising them for doing so.

I’m convinced it was sarcasm
Lol I’m a little surprised it needed saying, but you are correct

Huh. Must just be me remembering things that never happened, then.
I didn’t design the system nor do I like it, just saying I could easily manage what they’re currently doing without passing the bar
