We have full keyboards now and don’t need to use the number pad to have a need to type like that anymore.
It was just a bit of fun really.

I mean, there’s a dude somewhere here on lemmy who types like that all the time, so I guess it’s a thing?
They’re referring to the Earth Federation’s mass-produced mobile suits.
im urbandictionarying stuff all the time, that’s how i know it means “group masturbation”
LFGM
Live for group masturbation?
Even worse when you learn a new language, like Indonesian that uses a shitton of abbreviations.

If there’s one thing I miss after deleting my social media’s it’s skweezy jibbs
Nowadays it’s more like the behavior appropriate to the situation.
This notion confuses me as an old user
My thumbs hurt from spelling ish out for decades

It’s ridiculous how lazy people are today - especially that with autocorrect, it’s often harder to type the shortened version of something than to let it complete the thing for you.
Voice transcription has gotten good enough, and my thumb has carpal tunnel bad enough, that this shouldn’t be a problem anymore.
The other day someone told me they were otp with another person. I’m like, one time password? Google is like, one time password? Finally AI google was like, they mean “on the phone.” Sigh I had to do research on this text.

I was really hoping that reading all the comments would inform me about what GM means here
given the context, i suspect it just means ‘good morning’
The fact that someone would shorten ‘good morning’ to ‘GM’ and go through the trouble to put it in all caps bothers me
Maybe the phone autocorrected it
Maybe, but there’s nothing correct about abbreviating “good morning”.
The French abbreviated “today” ages ago (aujourd’hui) and they’re doing fine.
Thank you. I didn’t get why the young uns would be texting Game Master.
The CEO at my old company really likes the expression “Let’s fucking go” for some reason. Lots of “LFG” in the work chat. I guess he eats a lot of LinkedIn slop or something.
But to me, “LFG” means looking for group. I’m sitting here like why is the CEO spamming for group content during the work day, and he’s not even saying what role he’s playing.
Lol, my running group uses “CD” for cool-down. I’m always confused as to why and how they are cross-dressing for 2 kilometers.
Look I use CD for cooldown too, but in different context lmao
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.
CD is Change Directory!
No, that’s “cd”.
Yeah, CD is for Compact Disc! E.g. CDRdao
No, Certificate of Deposit!
imagine for a second if they trademarked Kompact Disc instead to avoid confusion XD
Mmmmm, KD
No, thats a type of receipt. You’re thinking of Corporate Dysfunction.
Compact disk?
“CEO LFG SM”
I’m not bringing that low contributing shit to Scarlet Monastery… CEOs probably play like healers, but without the heals.
Yes. It’s bare minimum to name our specialization and what we still need with each request.
Let’s see if I still have my keyboard macro:
“I’m a shitty under-geared DPS and I am LFG with tank, healer, and decent DPS”
Yep. My keyboard macro still works.
Edit: Self own aside, this approach did get me invited to the right groups.
Game Master?
Grandmaster?
Thats where my head went too. Does it mean something else?
Gotta be good morning. Seems like a pretty unnecessary abbreviation to me
I keep getting "Bon Jour"s from my maman
Here, have a Bon Jovi
Ohhh you’re halfway there!
Oooh oh, keep going!
For those people you want to know that you care enough about them to wish a good morning, but not enough to type out the full words
That’s what bugs me about that one.
Saying “good morning” or “good evening” or whatever is a salutation. It’s not conveying any real information, it’s just ritual politeness. I’m not a big fan of ritual politeness. But, if you’re going to do it, don’t half-ass it. To me, it’s impolite and insincere to half-ass or abbreviate a greeting.
I feel the same way about “GG” and “TX” for thanks. Do it right, or don’t do it at all.
ah, but ggez is classic!
“ggez” is fine because you’re taunting, it’s meant to be rude. If you’re trying to be polite but say “gg” it reads about the same, that you don’t care enough to actually type out a few extra characters.
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
I get it. Esp if it was a long night lol

My gamer self wants to know why you’re crying or insinuating that I’m crying. Oh, quick question? Just fucking ask and stop priming me for your next move.
