THUMBS UP EMOTICON: THE F*CK YOU OF THE TEXTING WORLD

What are your thoughts on the thumbs up?



humbs Up Emoticon: The F*ck You of the Texting World

I have been told to fuck off many times in my life. I have been spit at, and at one point, an article I wrote had half of Estonia looking to kill me (not a joke). So really, I can take bad shit pretty well. But you know what fucking grinds my gears? You know what gets my blood boiling to the point where I start turning green and end up ripping my purple pants into shorts?

When I send someone a text and they fucking send me the thumbs up emoticon as a response.

You fucking kidding me? It has become the passive-agressive ‘fuck off’ of 2018, and it truly belies a cowardice society full of passive pussies. If you use it as an adult instead of communicating your differences with someone, please consider TAKING YOUR OWN FUCKING LIFE! and yes, I’m serious. You are a child somehow inexplicably wearing adult skin and have you no place in this (somewhat) high-functioning society.

What It Says About You

One needs to understand, nothing says “I legit give absolutely no fucks about what you just said” as much as a fucking thumbs up emoticon.

The Pros and Cons of Dating Smart People Drew Barth Dry Bar Comedy

The reason this is relevant here is because the end part of the video is set up like a political ad when he discusses the difference between dating someone smart and clever. Super funny the way he pulls this off:

If someone could show me how to get Facebook videos to display other than just the link I would greatly appreciate it.

Is it just me or does it seem more cordial between folks who have different candidates this cycle?

I see a lot of people displaying one candidate but also posting nice stuff about other candidates who are not their first choice. I see a bit of arguing which is to be expected but it was sometimes brutal in the past. Seems very positive around here and I am enjoying seeing us mostly come together. Or maybe I am missing all the knock down drag out fights somehow?
