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.

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

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Well yeah at some point people get tired hearing you talk endlessly

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

Let's agree to disagree

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

It do be like that sometimes.

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

[-] me@social.jlamothe.net 2 points 6 months ago

Considering what group this is, I'm surprised I've not seen anyone mention "not essential to your salvation".

[-] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

That sounds like a "tomorrow" problem

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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.
