but i am not talking about emojis… i am talking about emoticons, which came into heavy use in the early 80’s.

in any case, i was trying to be “cute” or cheeky when i suggested that “smilies” didn’t exist in Germany, but i failed to communicate that effectively. perhaps i should’ve used a winky face, or provided a little more context about the origins. sorry about my perceived snarkiness; wasn’t my intent.

EDIT : i am actually struggling to find a reference to “^^” being used by anyone; could you point me to a source, as i am genuinely curious about this

let me guess? Zuckerberg phoned him up and reminded him of all that lovely lobby money that had been shared around!

in all seriousness, it’s likely because the origin of the emoticon is tied in with the ASCII character set, and the codes available when the emoticon was conceived. emoticons were around for decades, before we started using them on phones.

in fact, “smilies” are indeed not German!!!

unfortunately the head of the CRTC and the CEO of Rogers are buddies, and go for beers together. i wish i was kidding.

broccoli is like anal sex… if you’re forced to have it as a kid, you’re not gonna like it as an adult

i didn’t think they will be able to. all the kleptocrats will make sure that there’s some legal document that will guarantee that they get hugely compensated in the event that the government tries to take their property back.
