Tja
(swg-empire.de)
I cannot handle the random bold words, I just cannot
Reminds me of the bolding in comic book speech
Theyre meant to deliver emphasis on the words so you don't read it all monotone in your head. For example maybe "wow, okay. RUDE" but all bold comes off as being too aggressive. I personally think it enhances the post. Also, if you can't handle them, down vote and move on.
I mean, I know that the bold font is meant to add emphasis, and that's exactly the problem. You can only emphasize so many words in a sentence before it starts to grate on your readers' nerves.
I kinda like it. I completely understand why others wouldn't, but I like getting an insight into how the author would say the sentence. My own natural stress falls very differently to the bold words.
I didn’t notice until you said something. Just kind of read it as if it was spoken.
“Only accepting positive feedback” is going to find its way into my vocabulary.
I feel personally attacked. Not by the meme, but I feel seen nonetheless.

Thanks body! Ur doing a great job. Don’t blame me when I die at 42 though, that’s on you xxx
Tja.
Tjena
I see this and another comment saying "tja" and both have upvotes. However, I don't understand the ... Joke? Is it a joke? Or a reference?
Any enlightenment would be very much appreciated.
edit: Just noticed the title of this post is also "tja." Still don't get it.
It's a German expression. Mostly used to comment on a negative situation in a slightly disparaging way while recognising the negativity and futility. The closest English word is "well".
I couldn't think of a fitting title.
Thanks for the information!
Does this also apply to "tjena"?
In Swedish, ”tja” is an informal greeting, and so is ”tjena”. A usual exchange at the checkout of my local grocery store would be:
”Tja!”
”Tjena!”
”Kvitto?” (Receipt?)
”Nej tack” (No thanks)
While trying not to make eye contact because we don’t do that here.
(Btw, the German and Swedish ”tja” are pronounced differently, so this joke works only in text.)
I also sant to add that the Swedish "tja" can also be used in the same way as the German "tja", mening "well..."
That was educational. Thank you for the response.
German here. Never heard of it
Seems like a mix between the word tja and the english city Jena just because
