    Nick, I already told, you - I'm not gay, if you're soliciting.

    The Efia (eggplant) emoji is most widely used in digital communication as
    a sexual innuendo to represent male genitalia. While it officially
    depicts a vegetable (also known as aubergine), internet culture has
    adopted it as a primary symbol in flirting, sexting, and adult humor.

    i came here to get enlightened? Efia

    Take your porn emojis and go back to where you came from -
    with all the other messianic religious freaks over there. YMMV.

    ur just jelly EfiaEfAaEfiaEfiA

    Nick, I already told, you - I'm not gay, if you're soliciting.

    The Efia (eggplant) emoji is most widely used in digital
    communication as a sexual innuendo to represent male genitalia.
    While it officially depicts a vegetable (also known as
    aubergine), internet culture has adopted it as a primary symbol
    in flirting, sexting, and adult humor.

    they should have just made a penis emoji, why didnt they?

    It's from that weird Japanese TV show about a naked dude locked in his apartment for a year and doing competition tasks to earn supplies. They
    used an aubergine (eggplant) emoji to cover up his dick when it showed
    on screen.

    In fact, cross-posting is the backbone of-a Usenet.

    where are the experts tho?

    You came here to get enlightened?

    i came here to get enlightened? Efia

    Take your porn emojis and go back to where you came from - with all
    the other messianic religious freaks over there. YMMV.

    ur just jelly EfiaEfAaEfiaEfiA

    Nick, I already told, you - I'm not gay, if you're soliciting.

    The Efia (eggplant) emoji is most widely used in digital communication
    as a sexual innuendo to represent male genitalia. While it officially
    depicts a vegetable (also known as aubergine), internet culture has
    adopted it as a primary symbol in flirting, sexting, and adult humor.

    they should have just made a penis emoji, why didnt they?

    They say there's an emoji for every expression. The key is
    interpretation. YMMV.

    they should have just made a penis emoji, why didnt they?


    It's from that weird Japanese TV show about a naked dude locked in his apartment for a year and doing competition tasks to earn supplies. They
    used an aubergine (eggplant) emoji to cover up his dick when it showed
    on screen.

    If it was me, I'd have an On!on.

    If it was me, I'd just spell it out in plain text:

    "Shut the fuck up you warmongering boomer moron shithead dik!"

    It works for me. YMMV.

    not aware of that show, but being locked inside their room all

    it is a subset of neet.

    Zen Karate practice involves physical conditioning with the added
    benefit of Zen Meditation, as taught by sensei Randall Basset.

    "We have a way," notes Basset, "of not realizing what is occurring
    within our own minds in moments of heavy stress; and this helps to
    explain why we so often tend to yield to irrational responses in the
    face of such threat - responses that a knowledgeable opponent will use
    against us" (146).
