When I use it, I mean ok, because that’s what it actually means. It’s simply a way to acknowledge someone was heard. I will not be changing bc others read more into it. Tis way too exhausting to consider every hidden meaning someone might have.
Right? I've been using it to mean, "acknowledged", for years now. My kids told me just the other day that their group does not, and that they have to remind themselves I'm not being sarcastic when I send it. I have reached "that" age, it would appear.
lol when I read your comment in my inbox I had to stop and think what could I have said for this response
I reckon context is important here. If someone is chewing you out and you give a thumbs up it could be passive aggressive. But yeah in a business context I use it pretty frequently to acknowledge the message without needing to add to the conversation.
The only way I see it as being negative is to look at it like the "yeah, okay" Jennifer Lawrence meme.
I don't care all that much. Sometimes a thumbs up is the way to acknowledge you heard them.
First link I get an add and immidiately close. Second link I get an message that the video has failed.
There is a message in this somewhere about the state of the Internet that I can't quite articulate.
I've always thought it had the same energy in that they both simply acknowledge having seen the message. What's wrong with that?
I use it as an acknowledgement at work, and to be a sarcastic asshole with my friends. Context is key.
How are they flipping themselves off if your fingers point towards yourself when doing a thumbs up?
Because their mom is standing behind the hand and so it's flipping her off and if you flip off someone's mom you're flipping them off and it's time for a donnybrook
