I watched Juror #2 last night. Clint Eastwood's final film (apparently). It was really good. Strong 12 Angry Men vibes. Definitely recommend it.

๐Ÿ‘ means onya, thanks, despite the young thinking it means sarcasm. We need to teach them the right way.

Sorry. Generational thing I guess. "Okay." usually carries quite strong passive aggression these days

"Okay. ๐Ÿ‘", unless the OP is directed at you, also usually comes across as the equivalent of "I don't give a shit, get fucked"

How rude of your generation to turn casual bland acknowledgment into an insult!

Maybe we need some sort of generation indicator emoji to assist in interpreting messages. Plus a phrase book for all the things that have been twisted in meaning.

Can't believe the kids made OK not OK. Wait, has anyone told the RUOK day people?!
