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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (7 children)

No, it's more that :) and πŸ™‚ give different vibes. I literally use both because of that lmao.

Yeah maybe somebody can help me here. Is it 🀣 or πŸ˜‚ the one that kids make fun of us for using?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Oh.. oh no.. 8:30pm and i am in bed :(

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

:D will forever be better than its emoji counterpart

It just does not convey the same feeling.

:P is appropriate a lot of times when πŸ˜› is not, and the latter is what slack converts it to. πŸ˜‹ Is what they should use. One looks like you're being silly, the other looks sexually desperate.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

You inspired me to make this meme OP:

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

We use an older version of Outlook at work and it turns :) into πŸ™‚ 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 🀨

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 πŸ™‚" 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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I guess I did J

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

...who thought that was a good idea

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (9 children)

Autocorrect be like: Capitalize’s

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

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.

Emotions take more effort than emoji these days.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

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

Image Transcription:

Black text on a white background reading:

"My phone: Changes :) to πŸ™‚

"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 (-:

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

But please... Please without nose.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just use a space : )

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

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...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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.

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)
