I'm 19. Reading Justin's post and your comment makes me squirm. The formality of actually writing paragraphs to describe how you feel contrasts with Snapchat so much. But the thing is, there's nothing wrong with being formal like that. And there's nothing wrong with Snapchat and key emojis.
The overwhelming impression I get from your post is either 1) you don't understand Snapchat, or 2) you understand Snapchat, but you're too embroiled in the "high culture" of Hacker News to be able to appreciate both forms of communication.
I appreciate Hacker News because it is a place where I can read and write paragraphs. I appreciate Snapchat for other reasons. That's where I think many people get lost:
You don't always have to be serious. At the same time, you don't always have to bless up.
I think being able to understand both worlds is key. Major key.
- justin 11y agoBeing able to write coherent paragraphs is a major key. Even if you Snapchat.
- gragas 11y agoI pointed this out in my comment. You're just disparaging my writing, now, which isn't really a contribution at all.
- yarou 11y agoYour response is a prime example of how hypersensitive your generation is to criticism. A healthy dose of criticism is not only a contribution, but a form of flattery in a way. (Because your detractor thought your comment was worthy of critique, or else they would have ignored it) At any rate, the way I read Justin's comment was that he was agreeing with you, but I could be wrong.
- gragas 11y agoIt's true that I immediately thought Justin was criticizing my writing. But if you're right—that Justin was agreeing with me—his comment doesn't counter mine or add to it. It just reiterates something I already said.
