Apart from this useful discussion…
Finally
Damn it’s gone… Stupid phone. Now I need to find out how I can take a screen shot from android/cyanogenmod phone.
Limiting the number of “likes” increases the risk of misunderstanding and snark without enough offsetting benefit to the member community.
Not really. What is more important, talking (posting) or listening (reading)?
Yes! In lieu of clicking the “like” button, please accept this message signifying that I was unable to wait a full 60 minutes before attempting to click “like” again.
"You’ve reached the maximum number of likes today. Please wait 40 minutes before trying again."
I warrant that it’s worth 1 2/3 of a regular “like” click.
Emphasis should always be on listening (reading), or else as Chuck Palahniuk said, it’s just a bunch of people waiting for their turn to talk.
How about a three-fifths compromise?
Today after I fixed the system that needed fixing and spent a few very productive minutes doing things I hopped over to the board, clicked the little red heart of approval about three times then was hit with "You’ve reached the maximum number of likes today. Please wait 35 minutes before trying again."
Unfortunately I was in a poor mood due to dumb work-related things being dumb, “We know your server’s fine in this area but we want you to mitigate this theoretical, but actually impossible risk anyway so that we can click a checkbox. Do it for the checkbox.” So I said “Jesus God Damn It.” Except say isn’t the right term for the loud words that came from me… And then I had to explain to colleagues, no, it wasn’t the IT people being rules-lawyers that I cracked over, but rather there’s this forum I sometimes slack off at with software being a rules-lawyer that I cracked over.
I do not like you daily like limit, not even a little. You even make my job harder somehow.
This hasn’t happened in a while.
Mainly because I don’t like y’all as much anymore.
And that’s exactly one of the uses of the “like” button. If I don’t have anything to add at that moment to a conversation I’m currently part of, but want to indicate that I read the response(s) and appreciated it/them, hitting “like” is the way to not clog up the thread with “great post” or “ITA”. It indicates an active listener who isn’t trying to hog the thread. That’s a good thing.
If you are thinking about whether you “like” or “dislike” something, you aren’t listening to the author anymore, you’re lost in your own head.
Like-caps promote zen-mindfulness!
Okay, I am now a regular. I did the hard work of wasting time here clicking things, reading things, replying, liking, and the whole rigmarole.
You’re a regular, not a zen-master.
That’s nature’s way of telling you to log off for the day.
Its 9AM… I have liked two things so far today… and yet I get this?
I guess i liked too many things yesterday?
@anon15383236 @anon61221983 - this is what feminism does to us. It uses up our likes!
Yikes, already out of likes! I’d like your comment but now I wonder if I’m jinxed. . .
Ack, you two!! Why did you do this to me??? The jinxing has begun, as I’ve just learned on another thread.
The only solution is Supernatural .gifs
