When I was young people on LW didn’t use pictures. There was text. And if you complained we threw another dozen links to walls of text at you.
Oh really?
Those aren’t pictures, they’re diagrams!

We need our diagrams of alien invaders in order to recognize the aliens when they appear among us. Of the dangerous mutants, too.
They where there a few I admit. But they where shameful and modest. And we didn’t talk about them. Look at how wonderfully sloppy those graphs where! These modern things are so prideful and vain.
A fine sentiment, but the emoticon takes something from it.
Indeed—when I was young, we didn’t use emoticons. We typed “emote smile” and let the MUD client fill in the rest.
… Too nerdy?

Firefox isn’t rendering that right. What is it? An emoticon of a thumbs up?
Uh… yeah, let’s go with that.
I am trying to overcome my future shock at the strange society LW has become in the fantastic, futuristic and frightening year of 2011.
Oh I dunno, we’re barely at shock level 2 or 3 here most of the time.
