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

Lol

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.

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

fah_Q@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 2y

Hey, it is what it is.

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

radicalautonomy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

It do be like that sometimes.

paddirn@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Yeah, that about does it.

Kusimulkku@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 2y

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

MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 2y

That sounds like a "tomorrow" problem

jaschen@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Let's agree to disagree

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.
