Really? I never would have thought Captain Planet would take up that much space on a hard drive. Are you storing fucking Captain Planet as a 4k video? It was a cartoon from the early 90s. I think 480p would be more than enough! Sure there were 114 episodes, but they weren't that long. How much space can the complete Captain Planet really take up?

Interestingly, I had a manager twice my age who texted me like that and eventually I just started doing it too. Oh well

In my friend circle it's very common to use gm as one of the typical greetings

Maybe it's pointless to abbreviate, but let's not pretend language is all logical and rational. There's reasons for why people use it ranging from it being part of your speech identity, to preferring the flow to it, to it taking less space, and so on

A lot of it is just vibes based

My latest one was rq.

I thought it was a typo.

It stands for 'real quick'.

Most Wanted Underground 2 let's gooooooo. Amazing soundtrack

Back in my day it was 07734

Thanks, I hate it. xD

They say /c/fuck_ai butttt damn for ambiguous acronyms…

I'm pretty sure it's 80085

OMG, TLAs are the worst, there are so many of them

When one piece fans have hyped up the villains for Water Seven but saying u are excited to see CP9 is way too sus

Look I use CD for cooldown too, but in different context lmao

Genetically Modified.

Exactly! They say AI but what do they mean? GPTs, LLMs, GANs, CNNs....do they hate RAG as well?

That's true, but it's also true that within a small community sometimes acronyms are necessary. Like, imagine NASA:

"Jones exited the AL in his AES but the C4ISP flagged an error either in the LSPG or WFCA."

vs.

"Jones exited the air lock in his Anthropometric Extra Vehicular Activity Suit but the Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Information Systems Protection system flagged an error in the Life Support Power Generation System or Water Flow Control Assembly"

Insiders can use the acronyms to be much more efficient. Outsiders probably wouldn't even understand what they're talking about even if they did spell things out fully.

The only problem is when acronyms leak and what's a well known and clear acronym in one group becomes a confusing one to another group, or worse is confused for a different acronym from a different group.

The hero we deserve

No, that's "cd".

It's pretty common in CRPGs (computer role playing games) and MOBAs (multiplayer online battle arenas) for an ability that you have to wait before using again.
