Lol nice, lol

Lol lol

Curious if you're a millennial. I never used to use lol, then everyone I texted was using it and I felt like if I didn't I was coming across as too serious and not friendly so I started using it, then people started to make fun of everyone who used it and say it was a millennial thing and now I'm so self conscious every single time I use it but I can't stop

So true lol

I never really used "lol" and even when I sometimes want to, it just feels weird so I end up not to.

I'm still the same, just with smiley faces :) used to practically use them as periods at the end of a sentence :D

Go harder and use a semicolon next time.

Pretty common. Experimentally, it seems the implicit formula many use for IM is something like

Fewer than K words + a period = probability P(deliberately curt) = 50%, where K is at least 5, and P increases logarithmically as K approaches 1.

Which is how, to someone using this formula internally, “Great.” can denote exasperation, “Thanks.” can imply strained manners, and so forth 🤷

laughed in my head, with no outward facial expression

"When are you coming home from work? Hell yeah!"

Why so hostile?

That’s because they’re functionally illiterate

Fuck those grumps ✌️

Then you write"DIAD" instead of lol

Emojis are perceived differently by different people. For example:

🙂

What does it mean? Am I friendly? Or am I imagining the sound it would make if I slapped you in the face?

Or this one:

😉

Am I being ironic? Or am I trying to get in your pants?

Such mystery.
