  1. Ah, the dying art of communication. And the changing rules. I read somewhere somewhat recently that a “thumbs up” emoji is considered passive aggressive by some people. Trying to be cool with someone and unbeknownst to you, they’re on the other end thinking you’re an ass for flashing them a thumbs up.
