If you asked me to write out in words the meaning I was trying to convey with 
in that last post it would take me several minutes and a whole lot of consideration. Yet, it was clear that the emoji expressed precisely the thing I was trying to convey.
Evolving language is weird.
@ElectricKeet at least a couple dozen characters :)
@starkatt honestly I was considering asking you to write out the meaning in words because it's very unclear to me but then I decided it's not really worth the effort on your part for me to understand what you meant slightly better
@Felthry Best estimation: "this is a point the author is clearly invested in making, and it reveals a lot about his personal life in a way that's probably semi-deliberate, and tbh it's a statement that I find pretty resonant, feel slightly called out by, and will have to think more about."
@starkatt ...I'd then have to also ask what you mean by "called out by"
the nuances of language are Hard.
@starkatt The worst thing is, my mobile client doesn't have custom emoji, so I don't even see the /image/, just a text placeholder for "thaenkin". :-P
@starkatt Okay, I do see it on my desktop client, so it's not a total loss. :-P
@starkatt Was that picture in fact worth a thousand words?
