    Is there any particular hate against ‘live, laugh, love’ that I am missing, besides the phrase just being a bit cheesy?

      It’s plastered all over painted blocks of wood for $40 at mildly up-scale places (or places trying to appear up scale), along with other “gems” of wisdom.

      It’s not so much the cornyness, but the posh posturing and sheer stupidity of having vapid expressions on expensive blocks of wood.

        vapid expressions

        that’s it for me. okay, you want to decorate your house, great. but “live laugh love” is really the best you can find?

      Its associated with karens. To me personally its a 100 percent truth. My sisters name is karen and she had this on her wall when I broke contact. To give this a little more perspective the last time my kids and I ate at a restaurant with her. My parents and her did what they always did. Complained so loudly they got a discount. They made the server cry. This incident occurred pre karen meme. My only regret of going no contact is I wasn’t there when she pulled that shit and someone called her a karen and she couldn’t figure out how they knew her name.

      It’s the poster child of vapid consumerism. Pseudo-deep “words of wisdom” often bought by the most shallow people you can think of.

      It’s the battle cry of the suburban Karen, the mantra of the soccer mom.

      Often combined with the consumption of rigorous amounts of wine and sings declaring how hilarious this socially accepted alcoholism is.

      you could add ‘Live Laugh Love’ text onto any photo in the news of the last few years, and let me know how hilariously tone deaf it feels.

      Cross stitch. There’s an element of mysogyny too, as this is statement vapid women make, so its safer for men to laugh at than the vapid shit we say

    This comic makes me want to stay alive, giggle, and have deep amorous feelings.
