Dekkia.
I already use that name everywhere online, might as well put it on my passport.
Deleting my account now means Musk wins.
Yes, but that stems more from the fact that the Republic of China (aka Taiwan) and the People’s Republic of China both lay claims to be the real China.
You can’t really declare independence from yourself.
Also the PRC would probably attack immediately if the ROC gave up their claim on being china.
Maybe they where talking about the shape some cheap in-ears have? If headphones don’t fit your ears well, they’ll start to feel uncomfortable or even hurt after a while.
I think you should check the batteries in your carbon monoxide detectors.
Can you think of a real life equivalent expression of a drive-by downvote that wouldn’t be considered rude?
I don’t think downvoting a post without an explanation is rude. It’s the most basic way of saying: “I don’t like this”.
But to answer your question: Literally showing someone a thumbs-down.
Also, why do you think they would care what you think if you’re not going to engage more?
They should feel free to ignore Downvotes then (or disable them in their client)
it’s hardly going to change my view
Of courses it won’t, but I don’t care. If I cared I’d write a comment.
But what If I don’t want to have a conversation? Sometimes I just want to signal to someone that I don’t like what they posted.
But there’s there’s already a way to clarify what your downvote means by just writing an additional comment.
But maybe someone doesn’t want to clarify because they feel like it’s not worth their time. Or maybe they disagree with everything and don’t know where to start. Or maybe the just want to say “I don’t like that” and that’s it.
Couldn’t that be said about upvotes as well?
Also: Nobody owes anyone anything and that also goes for explainations on up- or downvotes.
Wouldn’t nerving downvotes/dislikes make it harder to voice your option freely? It’s the easiest way to signal if you dislike something (And ofc the other way around with upvotes). But if you make it harder to do that, you’ll suddenly have a lot of people that just don’t bother. That will create a false sense of acceptance of whatever has been said and will make it easier to create echo chambers.
We’ve got something similar. The fork we have came in a pack of two. The one we don’t use for cat food is in the drawer with all the other forks and nobody ever uses it.
He also started to go crazy after selling Mojang.
Sometimes I wonder if that came from the Money or if it would’ve happened anyways.
That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. It just means that the demo wasn’t public.
