“That sounds like a good idea…….”-“Is there something bothering you with the idea?”-“No, the idea is GOOD…..🙂”
Can someone explain this to me?
Old people use quotation marks to indicate emphasis, as a substitute for italics (which many of them could not produce on the old typewriters they learned to write on), whereas young people use them to indicate sarcasm or falseness. They’re used as “scare quotes”.
And old people use ellipses simply to indicate a pause, or for some other incomprehensible reason I’m not aware of. But young people use ellipses to indicate passive-aggression.
So an old person could type something like:
how are things going with your “boyfriend”….
and what they mean is
How are things going with your boyfriend? [Im so excited for you, sweetie, and I wanna hear about it]
But a young person would interpret that sentence as
How are things going with your so-called boyfriend…. [I say, while seething with contempt for him and possibly for you too]
The linguistic difference across generations is beautifully explained here thank you
So with gas being so expensive and groceries also being more expensive grocery shopping is becoming a whole *thing* now. The cheaper grocery stores are down the highway while the more expensive hip grocery stores are on my street… lots of pro and con-ing going on. basically I’m saying tear down Whole Foods and build an Aldi thanks

Oh heavens the wealthy among us struggle as they finally succumb to their expensive, impractical, and over gentrified neighborhoods. I pity them.
this is clearly about poor people living in areas that have been gentrified and taken over by the rich. read the screenshot again. do you seriously think ‘the wealthy among us’ are the ones struggling to feed their families on SNAP
my favourite instagram account is “wheredoesthepeecomeout” and it’s run by a girl who asks men on tinder where cis women pee from and then documents their answers
some highlights:
everybody sit down we have a winner
Oh my fucking God lmao
Pee does come from the bloodstream, but I’d be real worried if that was where it came out
The last guy being correct but too correct sends me each time
