the problem with emojis is that they're not universal - different phones have different kinds, some computers cant display them, etc

an emoticon is literally :)

in terms of pure communication efficiency we've downgraded

i like the sheer versatility of emojis, but the only reason i dislike them is because it reminds me that most people use PHONES

UGH

What's wrong with using phones?
I don't really use mine, but that's mostly because it doesn't behoove my (slow) march towards shunning human contact. I don't see why it would be a problem for everyone else.

the ultimate symbol of idiocracy: a Gen Z-er staring down at his or her phone 24/7

they're the most impersonal pieces of shit to ever exist

and the more people use them, the more socially unacceptable it becomes to not own or use one

I think people using phones in dumb situations (ie: on a date) is more them just being rude than the phone's fault tbh

Or they're just too lazy to do something productive of creative with their down time.

i like how modern phones just have weird symbols for buttons, and you're just supposed to know what they do, otherwise you're just out of touch

i also like how they often place the enter key right next to the backspace key, wow that's really intelligent guys

i also like how they have 4G even though my fucking laptop DOESN'T--WHY

How do you know if someone's connection with their phone mates isn't as intimate as your online connections with people?

there's also something about their tiny-ass screens that hugely takes away from my experience, personally

also, i read and write a lot, and those aren't really things that can be done optimally on a phone either

i could see a phone complimenting your laptop, but some people use their phones exclusively for this shit

the idea makes me physically ill

i feel like i've given a lot of reasons already

part of it is the vapid, soulless culture surrounding them ("my phone is better than ur phone" ugh suck my dick)
part of it is their relatively poor design and user interface
part of it is the total stranglehold they have on some people's lives
part of it is mild jealousy over having access to 4G while i don't
part of it is how generally obnoxious and noisy they are--it triggers me just seeing one, tbh

also, whenever i make a large detailed thread here--like a game review--the way i format it is always under the assumption that the reader is reading it from a computer, and not a phone

so all my hard work making it look nice for PC users is wasted, because it's gonna look completely different on mobile

I think if you're skilled with texting and touch-typing it's actually much more efficient than conventional text-based communications. Since most phone text communication approaches sending individual thoughts I think one can argue the readability of phone-based text makes sense given their potential for efficiency. I don't know if efficiency factors into being optimal for you.

Personally, I enjoy talking to people more than typing or writing to them. However, I'm much more persuasive using text (because I haven't mastered editing what I say before I say it).

you're more likely to be sheltered if your life revolves around your phone, which in your case, i'm sure it does

uh no absolutely nothing like a standard keyboard

there's a fucking backslash key in between them, and they're two fingers spaces apart

whereas i can cover a phone's entire keyboard with two fucking fingers

okay, so we have this giant, impossible-to-miss enter key with a lot of space between it and the backspace key

whereas on an average-size phone, my finger is literally too large to not press the two keys at once unless i'm surgically fucking careful

maybe i don't wanna have to play operation just to fix a little typo i ma--OOPS it's already sent in its incomplete state

Scrawny fingers are good for hitting smaller buttons, like on phones...
