Thank goodness I don't have that much faith in humanity to lose in the first place. Otherwise I might go even madder than I already am.

For someone who has no faith in humanity/does not care about it, you talk a lot about it lol (being serious ;;) )

Maybe you shouldn't end a sentence with a lol if you were in fact "being serious"...

That aside, not much is not the same as none. I keep thinking I reached rock bottom, but I'm afraid there might be infinitely more room to go. The ground below my feet is constantly eroded and it stopped being absurdly funny about five layers ago.

I have some philanthropy buried within me but in conversations like these I wonder why I shouldn't just let the misanthropy take over.

No sir !!I I strongly disagree ' lol ' should be consigned to an isolation ward never again to be permitted access to text of any description and anyone found in possession of the heinous term should be immediately torn apart by rabid hamsters

Actually, that's a quite a tempting proposal you made there. I can't find myself disagreeing...I'd go as far as saying I'm all in favor of purging internet abbreviations from the collective conscience for the sake of conserving the fine art of elaborate communication.

I agree, we should set up an ALL match making service :)

lol does not only refer to "laugh out loud" its meaning is deeper than the literal and symbolic sense it conveys.  it is a complex structure relating to the uses of a smile which is supposed to send a particular message, one which remains unknown to you because you're stuck with trying to understand lol in its literal sense. 

On a side note, lol

No, Amy's right. I should've included the patronizing d'awww.

Well, then dig out the "message" from the postmodern cocoon you wrapped it in. Let me remove some clutter:

"[lol's] meaning is deeper than the literal and symbolic sense it conveys [and] is a complex structure relating to the uses of a smile. [...] you're stuck with trying to understand lol in its literal sense."

1. I don't understand lol in its literal sense. You haven't said I don't understand it in the symbolic sense either, but it's implied.
2. Since lol relates to the uses of a smile (and I don't even understand lol), it follows I can't understand smiles.
3. Lol is a part of internet language. I don't understand lol. Therefore I don't understand internet language. But I'll let that slide since I was being hyperbolic.

That's all I could take from it since you actually explained nothing. So why don't you just tell me what you mean.

...before everyone goes insane.
 
Rodent, including the d'aww would be disgraceful for someone who want to detach themselves from the mass.  

The issue that I see with the lol  is that you take it to a personal and defensive level and I will blame your current existential crisis for that because yes. :D
