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

I fucking hate that emoji spam people do, one is enough. People never did that shit with ascii smileys.

Faces of different people after the party drugs hit

Summoning the most kawaii demon

Homer Simpsons pulling wishbone

Person organizing a line of dildos

Pedobears

People looking for missing glass eye of first person

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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

Yeah, they standardized creativity out of textual expression.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

I couldn't have said it better myself. I enjoyed when it was a kind of adaptation to work around the shortcomings of digital communication, like IYKYK. ;D

Emojis can be fun but yeah they're very..."mainstreamy" feeling? :P

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

Same for ":)" vs. 🙂

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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

Kids today just won’t understand. T__T

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. :(

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

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 "🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Oh God it’s me… I’m old now.

it'll happen to you too!

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 ͡°)_/¯

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!
