People! What a bunch of bastards!

Hope you’re well stranger

Cool. I’m not making an argument nor countering whatever it is you believe, please don’t mistake my engagement, have zero interest in ‘discussing’ with you. I was merely answering your question about my previous comment. Live as you see fit.

Right or wrong is beside the point. Therapy is about emotional balance and well-being. I sincerely hope you’re well but these kinds of rants often come across as personal anger being projected on topic x. I don’t doubt that’s how you see the world around you at the moment but not everyone does and that doesn’t mean they’re wrong, blind or stupid. Some people can see the same atrocious state you see and counterbalance it with the good they can also see around them. Being aware of our species wrong-doings is as important as becoming sensitive to its virtues. If someone can’t see any virtues at all, to the point they advocate death, they’re more likely either insensitive or have been handed a very rough hand in life. Therapy can help in any of those cases.

TBH that rant did very little to disprove therapy might be in order

Woa! That was wild!

Perhaps the fun is in sharing what caused it to you instead of getting it yourself. I’d be curious to know what causes it to other people, after all it’s something that’s very intimate and rarely comes up in conversation.

I keep reading this person’s name as ‘Aerobike’. Just can’t help it.

This is a fuzzy memory but I think it was a web page with a live video feed of a coffee maker. I think you could even turn it on remotely. Maybe someone else can confirm if that was the case, my brain could be making up memories again. (It kinda was). Here is the story: How the world’s first webcam made a coffee pot famous

That’s a really cool bit if knowledge. I honestly thought this was AI generated at first glance.

I’ve come to like Pandorum a lot over the years. I now make sure I watch it every once in a while.

Can’t argue with that analysis, pretty solid.

Internet police here. Stay calm, hands where I can see them. Now, this is how this is gonna go: there isn’t much I can do now as I wasn’t personally here 7 hours ago when you called but I’ll make sure to jot down some loose notes on this here notepad while I take your declaration. Then I’m gonna go ahead and misremember it all when I write a report no one will bother to read… Maybe put up some cameras around for next time, I don’t know. Just remember, we’re here to help.

That’s why I always pirate all my thinking

Velites!! Percute!

Thanks for replying. I personally enjoy it more without the personal ranking system. I think it stopped a lot of people from contributing for fear of public (and evident) disapproval while giving some people motivation to flood the site with low quality content just for the points. I still like the up/downvotes though but as a metric for the content, not the user.

In your own personal opinion, what’s the motivation for keeping an eye on karma? How would the experience change if you didn’t have the possibility of racking up points/karma at all?

Thanks a lot for the explanation!

This, this and this. Remember this? That’s what we’ll look like to future generations when they look back at our Metagram Tweet Toks*
