“More power to you” is a weird statement to make with such a casual inflection.

@andrew Right, but it's usually invoked sarcastically, isn't it?

Like, when I say it, I don't mean the person should actually have more power. I mean that they should think they have more power if it gets them out of the way of me getting shit done.

@LouisIngenthron

Yeah that’s true in my little milieu, to be sure. I thought maybe it was a byproduct of being raised by sarcastic people and everyone else was using it earnestly.
