Everyone likes a like! I try and be more like,’Yeah that was a great post’ nowadays though

That’s a prediction, not a confession!

I accidentally voted on the GYBE HGIIR album thread because I forgot which album of theirs I had listened to. It was not the one being voted on.

Maybe they should make more memorable albums so I don’t forget which one I listened to

You’ve been kicked out of Quebecois Anarchist String Quartet Club. Doesn’t matter that you don’t remember joining.

Jealous probably the wrong word, it’s more a visceral anger if someone’s posted something I’d either already posted or might have posted sooner or later. Those were MY likes, damn it.

I’ve never been jealous but I’ve been quite irked. Especially if something’s particularly badly thought out and it still gets 10 likes, bemusing stuff. Even my own sometimes.

I think they’ve been trying is the sad thing

when no-one voted for my FPL league team name as being the best name I changed it :pensive:

I love polls and I love guessing. Probably vote in more polls where I have no clues than those where I have many. Used to love voting in the polls for best songs on an album I haven’t heard any of or anything about, seeing if I could guess from titles alone what would be most popular.

  • DiS is too right wing
  • DiS is too left wing
  • The idea of echo chambers is for intellectual minnows

It’s ostensibly very left wing but then if someone says something like “wage amounts aren’t actually anything to do with job value or difficulty” in a non-politics thread it immediately lurches to the right

Quite like the idea so many people are voting for the non echo chamber option because it means they need to think about how they, themselves alone, are potential extremists (DiS is too right wing btw)

I voted for Kodos (echo chamber answer) partially because it’s a snappy catchphrase, but also because I sometimes feel that this is a fairly left-wing place and therefore I don’t feel like there’s enough alternative perspective, but then I remember that everywhere’s basically too right-wing. So, yk, :man_shrugging:

Also, why do I seemingly crave to hear the perspectives of the right wing? Must be some sort of perversion.
