        Didn't read the article bc no consideration can be confirmed by an emoji. Person1: I'm so happy you will buy my bike for $2 Person2: 🤗 Where is the consideration? There has been no exchange of promises. Law is complicated enough let's not add stupid questions to its pondering.

        Depends on what the person is thinking and who they are talking too. And no it's not completely binding.

        The law is not the law. If it was people could defend themselves.For every law there is an interpretation,a case precedent issued by an incompetent judge overturned by yet another judge.A system designed ambiguous to employ lawyers.Freedom costs money.
