I need help

[Viratas]

Could someone please explain the meaning of all the emojis so I can use them correctly? Is Dead Bob Dole a good thing or a bad thing? If the brain is for a genius answer, is a stalling call mean someone is slow?

Thank you in advance

There is no right or wrong answer. @BobDole got weird one day and replaced the normal reaction buttons with this weird list, many of which no longer make any sense. But he doesn't come round here much anymore and certainly doesn't update anything. Hell, there was a week long denial of service attack that he missed. 

That said, I use the fire button for likes, and the brain button for something smart. And that is it. I think others use the bobdole button for likes. Though that makes little sense to me.

my take for those three:

Bob Dole: thank you for saying what I was thinking, or nice reply makes me smile

Brain: you figured it out and are in my parallel universe

stalling: you didn't answer the question or deflected to another realm

What do you think?

• Brain = Brain = intellect
  • Positive = smart comment
  • Negative = bad comment.... "use your brain"... "space cadet"...
    • Confused, potato, poopy, or clown emojis are often better  
• Fire = Fire = awesome!
• Laughing face = Haha = funny
  • Positive = funny
  • Negative = foolish; clown emoji is better
• Wrestle = Wrestle = Wrestle
  • Positive = literally to wrestle or struggle with a challenge
  • Negative = argue
• Cigarette = Jagger = people acting like the Jagger Noir forum member
  • Jagger Noir profile pic has a cig in his mouth
  • Commentary style is cool, sarcastic, dry wit, rebellious, satire  
  • The shades or smirk emoji kind of covers it
• Skull w/Crossbones = Pirate = pirate behavior
  • Negative = stealing ideas/content, danger, hazardous, death, resistance
• Confused = Confused = Confused
• Fist = Stalling = avoiding; refusing to engage
  • The emoji reaction has an alternate name on the forum as stalling which gives us the 'wrestling' context for meaning
  • Deflection; not addressing the point; not answering the question
• Potato = Potato = dull, boring, not interesting
• Poopy = Poopy = disapproval, nope, mockery, loser
• Clown = Clown = fool, delusional, creep
• Duck = Duck = meaningless nonsense
  • Because the fist "stalling" already represents avoidance, we can take duck to mean the culture standard of rambling and meaningless chatter.
• Banana = Ionel = people acting like the Ionel forum member = dad joke variety
• Race Car = Racing Family = Ferrari wrestling family = showboating, sexual battery, and explosiveness
• Person dribbling basketball = Ban Basketball = people acting like the Ban Basketball forum member
  • loud, confrontational, sarcastic, provocative, impulsive, dramatic...
  • sometimes used when anyone talks about basketball
• Bob Dole = Bob = Bob approves = Like emoji equivalent
  • Bob also added a 'Bob Dole Fan' radio button that defaulted to 'yes' in the profile of all forum members.  This adds a Bob Dole Fan text under forum member photos.
  • Dithered (Greyed) 'Bob' is the react button to pop up emoji selections.
  • Bob has some low-stakes narcissism and it's sort of an inside joke to long term forum members.  This is funny and okay because he does most of the admin work for free.

The poop emoji has a twist.   It’s a verb called the Lisa morales.    It means.  Just poop emoji thousands of posts.   You must not make a comment about the thread or give any opinion whatsoever To properly  pull a Lisa.

Running this website is not my full-time job. I have a full-time job, family, and other activities that takes up my time. I don't get on here very much due to other commitments and it isn't a priority in my life as other things are.

I appreciate the pot shots though, makes it worth continuing to stay away from here.

@BobDole - Thank you for providing this free service! When you have a moment, could you share the reasoning behind the emoji selections, or is it best left to our own interpretation?

I have disabled the reactions since no one here has a sense of humor and it causes too much confusion.

No @BobDole, I just wanted to make sure I used them correctly. I love them. I wanted to properly use Stall!!! You could also add an Oklahoma State mat (you know, a small circle) to signify someone taking the easy way out. We also need a unicorn , many people could use one! 

@ionel all I did was ask what they mean? How is that disrespectful?

Please add some sort of an economics reaction to show the self proclaimed brilliance that RV claims he got from his Econ 101 class.
