How often to you bail on a half-written post or response?

I have had a tendency since my earliest days on social media where I will get halfway or more through a response, and end up just cancelling it. Sometimes I feel like I’m just being to over the top with snark or otherwise don’t want to be that kind of person, but a lot of the time I’ll decide I just really don’t care...

Donut,

I can relate to this so much. I’m active in tech support communities and sometimes there’s so many scenarios involved that being concise, accurate and still trying to sound human is quite difficult.

I’ve been trying to shift my perspective in treating replies as the start of a conversation, where a shorter post with less information or caveats makes more sense to start from so you can narrow down the direction of the comment thread later.

I realize my feelings might be highly specific to support/question threads, but your words really resonated with me regardless.

Donut,

€899 in my country from the website itself. Online I can find it for ~650. Less accessible in the EU, it seems :(

Donut,

Yeah you’re not wrong, it sucks. People treat it as a “I disagree” button while it was intended for off topic comments and spam.

Then the hive mind takes over and people pile on. I used to call it the reddit hive mind, but I guess it’s not limited to that.

I know it’s frustrating but I don’t think we can change human nature. If you are sure you said nothing “wrong” (like hate speech, off topic comment, etc) then it’s best to shrug and move on.

Donut,

I know what you mean. Unfortunately, when the answer is “the room disagrees with your take” there’s not much to think about. So if you make sure your comments are clean, you’ll have to accept it happening from time to time.

Its better for your mental health in the end!

I'm starting to see some serious downsides to being able to see who downvotes you. (kbin.social)

A few days ago I downvoted someone's comment, and the next day I happened to notice every single comment I've ever made had at least one downvote. All from the person I dared to downvote the ONE time. I straight up asked why they did it, and they seem to think I'm an "obvious" troll account that "apparently just exist to...

Donut,

Agreed. Downvotes were never used in the intended way and just turned into “I disagree with this”.

Donut,

I’m so happy so see this upvoted here. On Reddit people say toxicity is justified if developers do “stupid shit”. Or they say the toxicity is their own fault for making a mess, it should be expected, etc. Glad to be gone there

Donut,

I’d argue Celsius makes more sense from a human experience standpoint. Too damned cold or hot is highly subjective. The freezing and boiling points of water are easy references.

Although technically the boiling point of water can change where you are in the world. But from neighbour to neighbour, you will have the same effects

Donut,

Haha I was looking for this video as soon as I saw the thread. For context, this is the animated music video for SMASH!, a song by video game parody band Starbomb.

The lines that popped into my head were

You know

When Mario and Peach team up you are screwed

Luigi: You’re my own BROTHER!

Donut,

It is 5% lighter, whether that is noticeable can vary between users

Donut,

Dutchie here to explain why that’s not ironic:

If its a dotted line cars are allowed to use it, but only if it doesn’t impede on cyclists. So while they didn’t have to be there, it’s not unlawful as there’s no cyclists.

If it was a single line, it’s a different story.

Donut,

It says “2013 equivalent”, referring to average car bought in 2023.

But that doesn’t matter, because it’s not the headline of the article, but OP editorializing it.

Donut,

Probably the slow charging (18W) and CPU (MediaTek Helio G99). The cameras, screen and speakers also doesn’t seem that great, but full specs haven’t been announced afaik
