Well, back in 19-dickety-2, I used to wear an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
Now, to take the ferry costs a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now, where were we?

No, it's more that :) and 🙂 give different vibes. I literally use both because of that lmao.
Yeah maybe somebody can help me here. Is it 🤣 or 😂 the one that kids make fun of us for using?
Both, grandpa. Now let’s get you to bed.
Oh.. oh no.. 8:30pm and i am in bed :(

:D will forever be better than its emoji counterpart
:P is appropriate a lot of times when 😛 is not, and the latter is what slack converts it to. 😋 Is what they should use. One looks like you're being silly, the other looks sexually desperate.
:P can also be more neutral than happy at times, which is a nuance that the emoji lacks.

We use an older version of Outlook at work and it turns :) into 🙂 but not the emoji but the Wingdings smiley which is the letter J when you use a different font. I only found out after months when somebody asked me why I put so many J's in my mails.
I don't remember asking you a god damn thing Outlook 🤨
holy crap, is that where all the Js come from?
If there's a bad decision that can be made, the Outlook development team made it. It's a real shame that the industry standard is a hot garbage fire of a program.

When i was about 10 i sent an email to my uncle that said "K cool 🙂" with the wingding smile.
His client rendered it "K cool J" and he made fun of my "jive"
Never sent an email using multiple or nonstandard typefaces again. I guess it was a good lesson, but it's one of those hyper cringe core memories.
That's cure. You must have really liked that person :)
I guess I did J
...who thought that was a good idea
I work in a technical field. My work email changes "<3" to a heart emoji.
Pardon me, sir. I was not expressing my admiration, its just that your analyte concentration is less than the measuring range of my instrumentation.

Oh for duck sake I hate it when it does that!

Black text on a white background reading:
"My phone: Changes :) to 🙂
"Me:"
Below the text is a screengrab from the movie Pulp Fiction showing Jules Winnfield looking off to the right and saying "I don't remember asking you a god damn thing".

That's why I draw them the other way round (-:
But please... Please without nose.

Another reason why I miss my full keyboard: I could tell autocorrect to bend over, snap it's spine and fuck itself with it's own spinal cord.
I'm old. I don't understand what people are trying to tell me half the time they use emojis.
Who in tarnation is cooking an eggplant peach dish that's splashing? I saw my daughter's text messages and her boyfriend didn't even bring any of this strange dish to share when he came over. Kids these days...

I'll raise you one better: I don't know what I'm saying when I use them. I'm sure some have meanings, but I just pick whatever looks funny. I've probably caused some confusion before.

I see this as an example of either how little some people making decisions in tech companies know about what people want or about how different the things I want are from the majority of people.

:(
I've always just done it backwards, even before emojis were a thing.
I guess I'm just alternative, like Weezer.
