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?
<lame excuse> Those aren't pictures, they're diagrams! </excuse>
(Upvoted.)
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?
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.

Firefox isn't rendering that right. What is it? An emoticon of a thumbs up?
Uh... yeah, let's go with that.
