well, there goes my interest.

Correct me if I’m wrong:

I live in a timeline where time travel has not yet been invented. Even if someone invents it in the future and travels to the past to the party, that’d create an alternate timeline where the party is attended and civilization leaps bounds ahead in glorious post-scarcity, magical socialism fashion.

But nooooo since the timeline was forked at that point, no matter how many people do, in fact, attend the party, I’m stuck in the “strand” of the timeline when no one ever did because time travel has not been invented.

Oh great now we’ll have DRM in Mesa. Linux is turning into Windows! /s

Oh right I admittedly tend to forget there was a wall between two things before it was so famously knocked down.

And I don’t even know why, it’s like if I somehow always forgot there was a whole pizza when I eat the last slice.

Germany never really stopped being a nazi country, did it?

Great news! Let the tractors be the modern guillotines.

I mean, it’s not just “politics” (inb4 everything is); there’s been weird sanitization and cultural collonialism attempts in Emoji and in Unicode since a good while. Consider this weirdness: there’s an emoji for Mount Fuji, but not for any other volcano that can (and is) as well-known or important, like Villarrica, Pinatubo or Vesuvius. Why? Other than “nippon icchi namba one”, I dunno. Or the fact that there’s specifically a section dedicated to japanese food, with rice balls, ramen and such stuff, but not a section for Chilean (or at least Latin American) food like empanadas, cazuela and stuff.

Congratulations, you made me fight against myself for 25 seconds to decide if to upvote or to downvote this comment!

, many times people get the wrong message, but with an emoji you’ll get an idea of the face I’m making, so less chance of misunderstanding

Several emojis are quite ambiguous in meaning or interpretation, including because of intercultural factors (eg.: U+1F626 FROWNING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH , or any of the praying / reverence / salute emojis). You, or rather your readers, also have no guarantees that the emoji they are seeing unambiguolsy matches the one you wanted to send and has not been misrepresented in transit or because of the provider (eg.: U+1F52B GUN which was rebranded into WATER PISTOL at different points by different providers).

In comparison, a classic Unicode / ANSI / JIS smiley is basically unambiguous and has two to four extra decades of context.

A simple text, even an acronym, is even better, for example rather than trying to express extreme displeasure at someplace else’s lack of good gun control laws with a “prohibition sign” and “gun water pistol”, you can use the even simpler text message of “your gun laws are bad”.
