Emoji: It's like Kanji, only without agreed upon semantic meaning or pronunciation. I pity historians of the future who have to try and decipher this garbage.

- tialaramex 7y agoHa, imagine if some idiots designed a whole country so that its correct functioning depended upon trying to decipher the meaning of symbols which lack semantic meaning decades or even centuries later. Oh wait, that's the United States of America. What does constitute a "well regulated militia" and how exactly did those symbols come to mean people you wouldn't trust with a sharp stick are allowed semi-automatic hand guns? Symbols mean whatever people want them to mean, that's the extent to which Humpty is right when he lectures Alice. Whether it's an Eggplant emoji or "Ugandan discussions" the symbol is not the meaning of the symbol.
