YOLO vs. KCCO: The Poll of Which You Hate Most

what is KCCO

oh right

yeah I hate that. why has that come into vogue again, assumed it was some Downton Abbey thing or something

i had no idea ilx had any feelings at all towards these

YOLO is great, KCCO is bullshit, it's a no-brainer

I see yolo espoused as an excuse for more stupidity, kcco is just a teatowel

what i said

why has that come into vogue again

when did it go out?

Downtown Abbey is set pre-WWI afaik and the Keep Calm poster was discovered in 2000 btw

First saw KCCO on a mug at a friends house in... 2007. Think I smirked and said huh that's kind of funny, then forgot about it till a few months later it suddenly appeared everywhere. Technique of Illuminati mind control imo

If my dad took me aside one day and said "son, you only live once", I would think despite the cliché that it was sweet how he wanted me to make the best of my life, and that maybe he was thinking of all the chances he could have taken and didn't. I would appreciate his clumsy and futile attempt to try and keep me from living a life full of regret, and even as I rolled my eyes I'd find it a little touching.

If my dad took me aside and said "son, keep calm and carry on", I would punch him in the nuts and we would never speak again.

Wait, are we discussing Keep Calm & Carry On or Keep Calm & Chive On?

Kenneth Connor & Carry On

KCCO is better life advice tbpfh

YOLO not even proven

YOLO is just dumb, KCCO is everything wrong with modern Britain

Wait, are we discussing Keep Calm & Carry On or Keep Calm & Chive On?

Yep. I have never seen Keep Calm & Carry On abbreviated as such. If it's KCCO, it's the Chive. And I hate that I spend so much time on the internet I have an opinion on this.

chive on you crazy diamond

tbh Chive or Carry it's equally vile

P. sure nobody has ever texted someone "KCCO!" and immediately died in a drunk driving accident, therefore the answer is "YOLO."

I'd like to change my vote.

What is this chives thing

P. sure nobody has ever texted someone "KCCO!" and immediately died in a drunk driving accident,

pretty sure the number of semi-hilarious epitaphs it will form is another point in YOLO's favour

YOLO inspired (albeit by being flipped) a great MIA song. Keep Calm and Carry On inspired a Stereophonics album.

Xp I have literally never heard of that before and I don't thank you for educating me

kcco is depressing as fuck, long live yolo

some of the worst people I know use YOLO unironically all the time

KCCO used by interweb dorks once in a while

no contest at all imo, voted YOLO

if kcco was as popular as yolo, then the former
it is not, so the latter

is there a lucifer-our-lord cognate of yolo like you only love oevil or something

My discreetly modest ass tattoo reads: ORP. Stands for: ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. I was drunk, and I thought to myself, "hey, you only live once!"

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

YOLO not even proven

In some alternate universes the Nietzsches are livid!

thread may have confused the britishes...

YOLO is at least occasionally still funny. KCCO is just abhorrent.

this is really hard but i think the chive might sway me kward

like the chive has a gallery of thigh gaps on its site right now

I hate YOLO enough that I attempted, for the first time ever on an ILX poll, to vote multiple times, but you know, you only vote once.

i don't even know what this Chive thing is, but the moment that the shitty nostalgic Keep Calm shit started merging with the awful anglophile Nu-Who shit was my hulk smashing moment.

From skimming that awl thing I learned that chives is this repository of shit memes on the internet for people who think that kooky variations of "keep calm & carry on" are cool, it's good to be alive in 2014

t's good to be alive in 2014
is this sentiment a sign of the chive?

I don't know anybody IRL who says either of these things.
But YOLO is funny to me whereas people have adapted KCCO into so many dumb, dumb things so I voted for KCCO.

Full disclosure: when the KCCO thing first surfaced, I bought my mom, who was dealing with a lot of bullshit job stress, a KCCO pin, which she liked very much and wore on her jacket.

such innocent times

yolo is just good youngsters not knowing any better, kcco is just so dorky

what about fomo

I just realized that my posting of Mr. Efron's amazing YOLO tattoo could be read to suggest I hate YOLO the most (ok really I just read the thread wrong) and wanted it to be clear that KCCO is the most horrible thing ever besides celery while YOLO can be hilarious. In short - I hate KCCO the most.

Also, I didn't know what The Chive was until last night and now I want to die.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

At least we got that out of our system.

yolo hate is especially bizarre to me cause i feel like there was maybe 10 minutes before its usage became 100% ironic/making fun of people who say it/besides zac efron

which is definitely way more annoying than KCCO tbh

10 people have never heard of the chive

YOLO is bullshit pop materialist propoganda distilled to a single nihilistic phrase.

KCCO I have no idea what that means is it a British thing?

venue for provocative photos and young people who wish to showboat online

The news stories and bizarre human story reports there are quite mesmerizing, and the photos of bikini-clad women and muscular men are definitely motivating for readers. The storytelling and human experience that is shared at The Chive make it a very resonant place for people to experience their world vicariously.

"Protecting young people from the dangers of radicalisation requires positive online counter-extremism, and empowering teachers with technology like Impero's keyword library is an important part of this process."

Sally-Ann Griffiths, of Impero Software, which designed the program, said: "With a widely reported increase in the number of children being radicalised, it's vital that schools put measures in place to prevent pupils coming to harm online.

"By defining terms such as 'yodo', a phrase used by jihadist sympathisers meaning 'you only die once', the glossary gives teachers, who are part of the solution to the problem, the tools they need to identify, intervene and safeguard at-risk pupils."
