Even a plain old smiley can now be seen as passive-aggressive. What hope has anyone? (emoji omitted for sanity).


Acronyms are even worse than emojis!

For instance "your cat had died? LOL" Is that laugh out loud, lots of love, or any of the many other LOL definitions?


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Everytime someone puts an LOL after their own joke I throw up and it burns my throat, so I try and keep my eyes closed most of the time when I am on the Internet.

And lo I saw a high mountain in the desert named Mount Sinai, and a cloud covered the mountain like a fog and the people stood at the base of the mountain not knowing what to do or how to mix a song or how to write or how to do anything because they were hopeless and lost like sheep without a hope or chance or even a goat skin of water to keep them alive, wondering how they could possibly survive one more day on the earth and know how to do anything or how to play a G chord or who was going to save them.

And lo at this moment a figure descended out of the cloud walking towards them with two tablets in his hands, the messenger who would save everyone and tell everyone how to do what they needed to do, the man who knew it all, the world's first human being who truly knew it all, who gave the expression know it all to the rest of the world, so that they could truly be saved and know the difference between this and that.

And once the smoke cleared the people fell in amazement when they saw and knew that the man that they had been looking for had arrived.

And truly truly I say unto you that the man's name was Herb.

Yes & yep.
I, similarly, retch when I read "...see what I did there?" or "I see what you did there." If the humour/pun/pathos/irony/parody/reference/"incrowd" jargon wasn't/isn't recognized then the humour/pun/pathos/irony/parody/reference/"incrowd" jargon wasn't/isn't/ good or was aimed at the wrong audience. Explanation has it's place as a teaching/learning tool but amongst adults, if it didn't/doesn't/shall not work then it didn't/doesn't/shall not work.

That highlights just how tricky things have become.

I refer you to my previous comment that even a simple smiley is now often seen as passive-aggresive. I usually put a laughing smiley by jokes, just to assure that they were intended as a joke, not because I'm laughing at my own joke. Or am I laughing at the reader.

It's gradually becoming impossible indicate that humour was the intent. That's very sad.

I'm not sure if this triggers my microaggressions or if it's the first truth I've seen on the internet in a very long time.
