I often use "YOLO" as a thot-sperminating cliche.

That's the way the cookie crumbles

I don’t think yolo has ever been used to end a discussion. It’s used to start the fun 😂

Yeah I can get behind the others being thought enders but 'you only live once' it's a phrase I use unironically pretty frequently. Life is short and you should do whatever it is you want to do while you're here as long as it doesn't harm others.

It is what it is.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

We’ve always done it this way

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Hey, it is what it is.

I once heard them as “everlasting thought stoppers” and now I can’t call them anything else.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

It do be like that sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Ok so we have figured out this issue, now we just need to put together a list of counter-spells

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah, that about does it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Well yeah at some point people get tired hearing you talk endlessly

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

That sounds like a "tomorrow" problem

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Let's agree to disagree

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I've always considered phrases like that, just giving up and not wanting to pursue talking about something because IDGAF.

But intelligent people have a definition for it. thought-terminating cliche. I just wanted to write that out so I remember it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

My, I like to think - healthy, version: I don't have energy for this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Considering what group this is, I'm surprised I've not seen anyone mention "not essential to your salvation".
