Man I love CP, if only it didn't take up so much space on my hard drive.
Really? I never would have thought Captain Planet would take up that much space on a hard drive. Are you storing fucking Captain Planet as a 4k video? It was a cartoon from the early 90s. I think 480p would be more than enough! Sure there were 114 episodes, but they weren't that long. How much space can the complete Captain Planet really take up?

Acronyms are a pet peeve of mine. Basically useless and now you need tribal knowledge to understand what the hell someone is talking about.

Interestingly, I had a manager twice my age who texted me like that and eventually I just started doing it too. Oh well

Gotta be good morning. Seems like a pretty unnecessary abbreviation to me
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 thought it was a typo.

Let's fucking go.
Edit: for that matter, "LFG, LFG!" is a grammatically correct acronym sentence.
Thanks, I hate it. xD

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

That's true, but it's also true that within a small community sometimes acronyms are necessary. Like, imagine NASA:
"Jones exited the AL in his AES but the C4ISP flagged an error either in the LSPG or WFCA."
vs.
"Jones exited the air lock in his Anthropometric Extra Vehicular Activity Suit but the Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Information Systems Protection system flagged an error in the Life Support Power Generation System or Water Flow Control Assembly"
Insiders can use the acronyms to be much more efficient. Outsiders probably wouldn't even understand what they're talking about even if they did spell things out fully.
The only problem is when acronyms leak and what's a well known and clear acronym in one group becomes a confusing one to another group, or worse is confused for a different acronym from a different group.

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.
