    I use lol to sound less stern and chastising, it’s a common thing in this day and age online, and complaining about it seems really unnecessary especially since you’re on an Internet forum where language like this originated.

        I don’t think that is generally the intent of ending a sentence with lol. It is sometimes, probably, but most of the time it is for trying to convey a light hearted, friendly attitude - like a polite chuckle in real life. Millennials do it a lot.
