I do, lol
Edit: removed cringey face from ancient internet habits
I thought I recognized your name - you were in my red lobster thread recently; the bankruptcy due to shrimp.
;-p
Haha yeah. I really annoyed someone by joking around about shrimpfest in your thread. Man, it is super hard to convey tone in text. Hence overuse of "lol" or emoticons/emojis.
You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you try to convey tone and meaning, people get upset; if you just rely on context and the flow of conversation - well, that's subjective and cultural in some cases.
Memes are the key. Complex modern hieroglyphics that convey all meaning through image (and text descriptions spoken by ai computer voices for the blind)
