I’m old. I don’t understand what people are trying to tell me half the time they use emojis.

AstridWipenaugh,

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.

Try turning this into an emoji, Apple. Oh wait, you can’t, because I made it up. (Idea may be thought of by someone else before)

Ah. The old butt kissing emoji. I remember that

Resol,

It was meant to be some kaomoji version of two eyes closed with a frown (I have little knowledge about kaomoji), but I actually like your description way more.

The mouth doesn’t look like it should. But it’s close enough.

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 🤨

…who thought that was a good idea

MildPudding,

holy crap, is that where all the Js come from?

mrbaby,

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.

rosymind,

That’s cure. You must have really liked that person :)

JimBeann,

I guess I did J

Anticorp,

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.

Buddahriffic,

I’ve had to re-disable auto correct options multiple times in outlook. I’m perfectly fine capitalizing my own letters because sometimes I type code snippets in emails and don’t want those being treated as if they are sentences that need grammar and spelling corrections. I don’t need your fucking angled quotes either.

Red or green underlines to say you think there’s a problem are ok. Changing what I’m typing without me telling you to is not.

Anticorp,

Mac OS has autocorrect enabled by default on the entire operating system. Why TF would I want that when I’m typing with a full-sized physical keyboard? It’s especially annoying when you’re typing code. So yeah, I disabled all that crap within a couple of minutes. It’s super annoying.

cantsurf, in They're not equivalent

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.

HonoraryMancunian, in They're not equivalent

:D will forever be better than its emoji counterpart

Anticorp,

: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.

oce,
@oce@jlai.lu avatar

:p

Buddahriffic,

Yeah, there’s a kinda cheeky tone to :p and ;p that none of the graphical ones I’ve seen have captured. :S is another one, where I see it as half smile, half frown/sad. Like “this is amusing but also horrible” or “putting on a smile despite everything being awful”. Any of the smileys on my phone that have more than one curve for the mouth look either crazy or sick.

TheSaneWriter,
@TheSaneWriter@lemmy.thesanewriter.com avatar

:P can also be more neutral than happy at times, which is a nuance that the emoji lacks.

Anticorp,

Very true

Classy,

Yeah :P growing up for me was always either “yeah that’s silly” in a more nondescript way, or it was something akin to “yeah XYZ isn’t great but it is what it is” — almost like a diet version of :/

Kase,

shudders

uranibaba,

It just does not convey the same feeling.

Rootiest,
@Rootiest@lemmy.world avatar

Especially that one with the teeth.

You should at least use the normal smile emoji 🙂

Sternout,

Yes but in some chats that one has weird rosy cheeks

Rootiest,
@Rootiest@lemmy.world avatar

That’s this one 😊 (or this one ☺️)

There are a lot of smiley faces now

ChonkyOwlbear, in Two Party System. Why.

This is dumb as shit. Democrats aren’t perfect but they do care. That is why they actively took steps to stop people from dying during COVID unlike the GOP. That’s why they support universal healthcare, unlike the GOP. That’s why they support public education unlike the GOP. That is why they support free and fair elections unlike the GOP.

Cowbee, (edited )

Only few dems actually support universal Healthcare, unfortunately, and the majority don’t care about anything but lining their pockets. It’s the same with the GOP, of course.

That being said, of course vote for dems if your only other option is reps. What’s bad is better than what’s terrible. However, don’t simply vote and be done with it.

Educate yourself. Improve your life. Exercise, organize, teach. Grassroots praxis is where you can meaningfully improve the lives of your community, and carry that momentum elsewhere. The two party system isn’t going to be corrected purely via electoralism, it’s a stop-gap to prevent sliding into fascism.

AnarchoSnowPlow, (edited )

Before I say anything else, if you’re voting, right now at a national level at least, Democrats are essentially the only option if you give a shit about democracy and aren’t an accelerationist.

That said: The GOP fucking up covid so hard is probably the only reason Trump didn’t get re-elected. Democrats as a collective do not support universal healthcare. They had the capability to pass whatever they wanted in Obama’s first term. They actively rejected even a public option. They fucked us (normal, non-rich people) hard, because, as a group, they ain’t us. They could have fixed a lot of the issues around public education that were introduced in the bush administration, but they didn’t. How’s that student loan debt forgiveness going? They, again as a group not individually, hate the idea of all those loans not getting paid. THINK OF THE BANKS! As far as free and fair elections go, they benefit from the FPTP system, they will never get rid of it unless they’re forced to.

ALL OF THOSE THINGS SAID: VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL IS WHAT WE’RE STUCK WITH UNLESS WE WANT THINGS TO GET WAY, WAY WORSE.

The alternative to these fetid dickbags is fascists and yes, some literal Fucking Nazis.

In a world where the Overton window isn’t totally fucked, Democrats are center-right. They, again as a group, give zero shits about regular people.

TBi,

Yep. You can vote for the bad party or you can vote for the party that wants you dead. At least if you keep voting for the bad party the other side will get less bad to get more votes. Then you vote for the less bad party and so on until they actually start being good.

It’s so easy, but general population for some reason don’t think that way.

ChonkyOwlbear,

An easy solution will always sound more appealing than a complex one, even if the easy solution is a lie. MAGA Republicans offer only this.

Worried about immigration? “Build the wall!”

Think government is corrupt? “Drain the swamp”

Does LGBT stuff confuse you “Groomers!”

Scared of change? “Make America Great Again”

No real understanding of any of the underlying problems and no plans to address them. Just catchy slogans.

vivadanang, (edited )

Just catchy stupid slogans that appeal to the worst americans

Kase, in Two Party System. Why.

I wanna know how this photo happened

Oof I forgot that was a thing, thanks lol

When your phone capitalizes any word that might be something Google could make an ad dollar on somehow

Steve,

Autocorrect be like: Capitalize’s

Karyoplasma,

I put autocorrect on suggestion mode. That way it still suggests words but never corrects what I type, unless I click the suggestion. Much better.

ubermeisters,
@ubermeisters@lemmy.world avatar

Lmao

intensely_human,

I call automistake.

You gotta watch it like a hawk. Sometimes it will change words three or four words back in what I’m typing.

ubermeisters, (edited )
@ubermeisters@lemmy.world avatar

Mine won’t stop conflating “mom” with “mmm” I swear to fucking God I’m about to root my phone just to find a way to remove them both from the built in dictionary.

The cherry on top? It goes both ways(giggity). So if im texting “thanks mom”, it wants to say " thanks mmm". And vice versa. Of course it’s not all the time, JUST at the exact worst times in conversations.

intensely_human,

Mine thinks “human” should be spelled “juman” and that “.com” is supposed to be “.con”.

It’s ridiculous

ubermeisters,
@ubermeisters@lemmy.world avatar

Ahh yes. Like My favorite movie, Humanji

Steve,

I actually disabled the damn thing a few years ago. It kept changing the meaning of words. Unfathomable bullshit like love to hate and will to won’t.

TheFriendlyDickhead,

Same. Only thing I keep enabled is the auto insert the ’ into words like don’t

ubermeisters,
@ubermeisters@lemmy.world avatar

It’s gotten terrible. So has voice to text. My work iPhone OEM voice to text is literally useless, as is Google voice to text on my iphone. My Samsung OEM is ass. And the Google one via same Samsung, is getting worse by the hour, but used to be amazing.

Rolder, in I feel this

I save the meme, use it once in the discord group chat, then never look at it again.

roguetrick, in They're not equivalent

Man we're all fucking old people here aren't we.

AstridWipenaugh, (edited )

No sir. This thread is about emoji, not GILFs.

wewbull,

Those are the protagonists in The Dark Crystal, right?

AstridWipenaugh,

A muppet movie about GILFs instead of Gelflings would be significantly different 😂

at_an_angle,

I do love MILFS. Can’t lie.

mrbaby,

Yeah maybe somebody can help me here. Is it 🤣 or 😂 the one that kids make fun of us for using?

sigmaklimgrindset,

Both, grandpa. Now let’s get you to bed.

mrbaby,

Oh… oh no… 8:30pm and i am in bed :(

DragonOracleIX,

I’m not even 30 yet. I’m not ready to be calling myself old. D:

octoperson,

You’re not old unless you type smileys with a nose :-D

SkyeStarfall,

No, it’s more that :) and 🙂 give different vibes. I literally use both because of that lmao.

gandalf_der_12te,

these are the ghosts from Super Mario.

PhreakyByNature,

Well, back in 19-dickety-2, I used to wear an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.

Imgonnatrythis,

It’s making a comeback except now the kids are using shallots.

Anticorp,

Of course they are. Always opting for the more expensive options, these kids.

edgemaster72, (edited )
@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

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?

gandalf_der_12te,

Ferry costs a bee.

intensely_human,

Back when a dime bag used to cost a dime!

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

I used to get free cocaine in my soda.

Godnroc, in They're not equivalent

Emotions take more effort than emoji these days.

ame, in I feel this

I feel I started doing this after remembering the perfect meme for a situation but not being able to find it too many times. Now I can’t find them for a completely different reason!
