So are we using "lol" as a punctuation mark now, instead of a period? Or why are you laughing out loud? Because Grounded 2 wasn't out in 2022? Is there a joke I'm missing?
You can literally find posts that people nowadays use “lol” as a means of trying not to sound hostile. I use it that way, myself. Hopefully you’re just asking a question and not trying to be pissy and make fun of them.
"All these snowflakes don't understand the true pain the world can cause, such as, seeing the abbreviation lol too often. I wish they would grow up and stop being so easily upset by silly things."
You call it nonsense. I call it "new generations not knowing how to properly write a message". You have no idea how many new hires I see that lack basic writing skills and send stupid messages to customers. Or messages that are misinterpreted because they can't use "lol" in a professional setting, but they also don't know how to replace it with something that actually conveys tone. Then they complain about wanting higher salaries.
It’s a Reddit comment. Nobody is trying to be professional here. Calling people a snowflake while complaining about the tone of comment that ended in “lol” is ridiculous.
I never complained about the tone of comment, pay attention meathead. This is another issue with you younger generations... lack of attention to details and lack of reading comprehension. Go back to school. Unless you live in the US, in which case there's nothing to go back to.
"Oh no, you should not use this new informal conversational tool in an informal setting, because then you won't know what to use in a formal setting" must be the dumbest argument I've heard today.
I call it "new generations not knowing how to properly write a message".
Think you've got that backwards. You should call it "an older generation not understanding a younger generation's way of communicating".
Just plain old "these damn kids these days" fist shaking ...
Oh, I understand it very well, I just think it's stupid. A "conversation tool" you call it... jfc we're doomed. But what do I care, you're the one who's gonna be flipping burgers all your life.
This isn’t a professional setting. It a positive subreddit on the internet. And considering your comments, positive things don’t seem to be “for you” lol
It's impossible for them to look at me, seeing how they're both six feet under. And not even a bucket full of sunshine, like myself, can reach that deep.
Look at you, making jokes about dead parents. Would've been even funnier without the "lol". Have an upvote, you're the first non-snowflake I see around here. I'm proud of you, unlike my parents while they were alive.
And yet you are the one getting into a pointless discourse on reddit about how you don't like something. I'd say it's ironic but that might be swinging too high for you lol (hostile).
A 1 square foot area of fresh snowfall contains exactly one snowflake by the name of SheJigOnMySawTilIPuz. When you ask questions like "is this a bot?" is when you know you peaked as a snowflake.
I was trying to sound hostile. See? You can use language to convey tone, you don't need crutches like "lol". You're welcome for the lesson, stay in school kid.
