It's ridiculous how lazy people are today - especially that with autocorrect, it's often harder to type the shortened version of something than to let it complete the thing for you.

Voice transcription has gotten good enough, and my thumb has carpal tunnel bad enough, that this shouldn't be a problem anymore.

The other day someone told me they were otp with another person. I'm like, one time password? Google is like, one time password? Finally AI google was like, they mean "on the phone." Sigh I had to do research on this text.

I have this problem when people use abreviations for game names. There are so many games that it's impossible for me to understand. And good luck to find out which game it is if it's a new one you never heard of...

It can sometimes work if there are more than one character involved TES:III, F:NV, EU4, CK2, VIC2, HOI4, and CoC are all good examples. Also yes I did use a bunch of paradox games but only the ones I have more than a thousand hours in.

Man I love CP, if only it didn't take up so much space on my hard drive.

Acronyms are a pet peeve of mine. Basically useless and now you need tribal knowledge to understand what the hell someone is talking about.

The CEO at my old company really likes the expression "Let's fucking go" for some reason. Lots of "LFG" in the work chat. I guess he eats a lot of LinkedIn slop or something.

But to me, "LFG" means looking for group. I'm sitting here like why is the CEO spamming for group content during the work day, and he's not even saying what role he's playing.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

"CEO LFG SM"

I'm not bringing that low contributing shit to Scarlet Monastery.. CEOs probably play like healers, but without the heals.

Yes. It's bare minimum to name our specialization and what we still need with each request.

Let's see if I still have my keyboard macro:

"I'm a shitty under-geared DPS and I am LFG with tank, healer, and decent DPS"

Yep. My keyboard macro still works.

Edit: Self own aside, this approach did get me invited to the right groups.

"LFG"
Dude, we're already in a group...

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 36 points 2 days ago (2 children)

People be like LFG and I'm like Looking For Group in which game?

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Wait, what else would it mean??

Leopards Fuck Gently

[–] twack@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Let's fucking go.

Edit: for that matter, "LFG, LFG!" is a grammatically correct acronym sentence.

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Please tell me this isn't really what this means.

[–] okmko@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Oh no... Whelp that's that. I'm officially old.

My gamer self wants to know why you’re crying or insinuating that I’m crying. Oh, quick question? Just fucking ask and stop priming me for your next move.

For those that don't get it... it's copypasta meme from that banana bread rant

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My cousin used to post things like that on Facebook/MySpace all the time during his emo phase. They appeared to have been secret messages intended for his crush(es) to decipher, and it made me want to die a little every evening when a new one would manifest.

It would read something like "HILYMTLIAIWTBYH", which (upon decoding) meant, "Hailey I love you more than life itself and I want to be your husband". Whether or not Hailey ever wasted her time on such an obnoxious endeavor is unclear. I certainly hope not.

[–] CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Oh yeah that's frustrating.

At least the one I posted is easy to identify. (Dude I Got Some Fucking Banana Bread At Work Today...)

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 12 points 2 days ago (16 children)

My latest one was rq.

I thought it was a typo.

It stands for 'real quick'.

I was really hoping that reading all the comments would inform me about what GM means here

[–] juliebean@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

given the context, i suspect it just means 'good morning'

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The fact that someone would shorten 'good morning' to 'GM' and go through the trouble to put it in all caps bothers me

I write my texts like I'm writing a cover letter or a wedding invitation to flex on the less erudite and meticulous.
