I still have yet to find a reason to use emojis instead of words.

[martinuzz]

I can (under)stand the standard emoticons, like smileyface and sadface.
But the plethora of all the thousands of other emoticons kinda makes me weep and rage.
Not only do I not understand 95% of emoticons, IMO it creates a divide in society between those that grow up, and those that are stuck in primary school / instagram level of miscommunication.

If I would work HR, emoticons would be one of my first criteria of tossing out letters of application.

Then again, I'm old. I think most people over age 40 share at least part of my sentiment.

My granddad's brother uses considerably more emojis than I do, and he's 90+.

That said, he's also an idiot who knowingly and willingly shares completely false ragebait articles on Facebook because "It moves things in the right direction".

Some things emojis can convey are really hard to do over text. Example: 🙃

I am also guilty of using 🤡 in reaction to someone with a laughable opinion. That one is simply shorthand for "(you're a) dumbass".

That one doesn't conway anything but you being Australian though

Can anyone fix this quote?

"Power comes in response to a need, not a desire". True, but it always sounded incomplete to me. Does anyone have something more accurate to say?

[hector13]

Power comes when you press the right buttons *waggles eyebrows*

[delphonso]

"Power comes in response to a need, not a desire. So those with desire must manufacture a need."

How do you, uh, twitch less?

I've done too much vidya today, realizing that the twitchy action RPG I'm so fond of has a lasting twitchy effect extending later into the day. That's probably not good for me. 'Sides that, I generally have anxious tics and a few compulsive tics and I'd really like not to feel like a live wire.

Proactively, I understand I need less of the vidya, but, like, after the fact?

[Frumple]

Relax, stop tensing the muscles, steady breathing and whatnot, maybe stretch or massage the relevant muscles, hydrate, try heat or cold... that's 'bout the most you can do without medication, far as I'm aware. Sometimes you just gon' twitch till your body's done twitching.

The brain isn't actually divine, more just... overpowered. Whats a better term for it?

[heydude6]

That's a question philosophers have been trying to answer for millenia. I don't think you're gonna find answers here.

[Egan_BW]

more like underpowered but fairly good at overestimating itself

[dragdeler]

Overengineered, like running ms-dos on a threadripper.
