[ Today must be a day for shitposting, because Kanan's got one too. ]

You know, the text thing doesn't usually give me much trouble. The devices have a pretty good voice-to-text and text-to-voice function on them. Unless you're typing a bunch of abbreviations, they can be hard to parse sometimes. The letter "y" seems to be either "why" or "yes" depending on the context, for instance. Still haven't figured out "L O L".

I even get some of those... what do you call them, "emojis". The device will tell me if there's a little smiling face or a finger pointing to the left or whatever, that's fine. Right up until there's a bunch of... vegetables? I don't know a lot of the vegetables on this planet. What even is an "eggplant", and what is "eggplant sweatdrops"? Are you watering your vegetable garden?

Emojis, they're the little pictures, yeah? Proper pictures, not ridiculous fucking things made up of punctuation. At least they're sensible, mate; with the others, you've got--

-- And then people tell you, "That there is a man wearing a funny hat and waving; can't you see it?"

As far as I know, yeah, they're actual pictures.

[ He pauses at that, and even with just audio it's obvious he's making a disgusted face. ]

I guess I'm lucky there. When people put a string of meaningless symbols in their posts, I can justifiably ignore it.

[devoutish]

I also find it very justifiable when I ignore it, myself.

[kanyounot]

Ignoring nonsense is always justifiable.

[devoutish]

Mm, yeah. A good skill to have here, isn't that right?

audio

[kanyounot]

Learning to parse out bullshit is a good skill to have anywhere.

[devoutish]

Yeah, but especially good here, what with the network and all the arguments we get up to.
