Do you people still feel superior for ignoring the avalanche of bullshite heaped upon us by the elites and pop culture and academica and media?

You deserve the debt-ridden shithole they are creating but we don't

It's Apple. They're just giving their customers what they want.

Sadly, it is probably the cleverest thing they say, therefore. yes.



And, for the record, I think it's stupid to remove the emoji, though I rarely use it. I do think it's a prime example of our current thinking that equates symbolic gestures to actual solutions to problems (symbolism over substance).

It's not intended to be clever. It's a familiar descriptive that expresses a very real condition.

There is no shelf life for concise terms expressing a broad concept.

Ironically, ultra-liberal George Carlin coined the term over two decades ago. Why has it taken you so long to whine about it?

and yet I still can search for pics of AR-15s all day on google to use in my text messages. This is a stupid solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

If someone cares about gun emojis this much, they got some issues.

If this wasn't reported, 99% of people wouldn't even realize it was missing
