Because the reason for a vote is personal and different to everyone.

If I see a post with a title containing 20 emojis, I downvote it. Doesn’t matter the content of the post.

Now, assume that post was about fighting for lgbt rights or fighting against anti-abortion legislation. Some moral crusader sees my downvote and immediately calls me a bigot. When, from my perspective, all I did was downvote a bunch of emojis.

Take that idea and expand it.

It’s unfortunate. A lot of the first movers that set up early instances during the Reddit blackout are not the type of people that should be running these things.

Think Reddit powermods but more unhinged and extreme.

Oh I’m right there with you. I can’t believe this was actually said in a real class. If I hadn’t heard it, I would think someone was just making up a story.

“The human eye can only perceive 60 FPS”

This was in a graduate level class studying optics for virtual reality systems.

I shit you not. I believed this for far too long.

Same. I’ve had Michelin star meals, meals from world famous chefs, and everything in between. And sometimes the only thing I want is a McDs double cheese burger.

Tastes are funny. Sometimes I want a steak and salad, sometimes I want a shitty greasy burger with a pile of fries.

Thank you!

MMT = what?

Nope. Most people in the country still live comfortably.

Until that is not the case, nothing will happen.

Answer: yes. It was there.

Yes.

Pretty easily.

I live my life and care about the people around me. I ignore things I can’t affect.

The sky is not falling. The ground is right here and things are generally OK for most people.

In my opinion, where this “movement” failed was in the messaging.

“Stop Killing Games” is a great slogan written by a young person without much experience.

No company or government will pass a law that says, “you must indefinitely support every game you ever release”. Now, I understand that this isn’t what the group was calling for, but this is the message that comes across. Because of that, it immediately loses support from anyone in any type of software industry and likely many other industries as we know it isn’t realistic.

Say you don’t work in tech without saying you don’t work in tech.

I’m a dev. Love them or hate them, PMs are vital to success of projects.
