Timeless. Emoji's take too much time and have less "soul".

Faces of different people after the party drugs hit

Whenever a sentence needs some indicator of humor or sarcasm, I reach for :p

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I'll do a ;) most of the time for humor.

Yeah, they standardized creativity out of textual expression.

I still miss the old :S from the msn days. Nothing really conveys the same emotion nowadays

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I used (and still sometimes use) o_O for the same reaction

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nice humblebrag about still feeling emotions.

Who am I to say that one can make a file in the home folder called .XCompose where you can easily input emoticons for easy access using the compose key ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

";-;" conveys a fundamentally different vibe as compared to 😭, even if both nominally mean "crying"

Same for ":)" vs. 🙂

It makes me sad that in many chat programs anymore, expressing joy or general contentment with "carat-underscore-carat" is no longer supported.

Alas, even here

Shows as "sup" between angle brackets. :(

Apparently in some other languages they just use ))) or some crazy number of parentheses, like )))))))

It shouldn't bug me as much as it does, but c'mon, it doesn't even look like a face!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Chat prompts, like some IRC clients used to, suffix nicknames with a : to separate message from the name, so it could be they simply implied the "eyes" were already there.

iirc one of the Asian languages pronounces the number 4 as "ha" so instead of typing things like "LOL" they'll just spam 4 to respond to something funny.

The parenthesis thing is probably something similar. We've all got weird linguistic quirks; the digital era just dumps fuel on the fire.

Oh God it's me... I'm old now.

I don't like the pictures... I always prefer to use text except for when something really disgusts me, then I happen to like "🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮"

I first got on the Internet just as the shift from :-) to :) was happening, only geezers still used :-) and :) was the hip new thing...
