The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Nah. You need to break it by length or something.

Or you could go all spell-points and just give people a fixed number of paragraphs or something per day.

A lot of short useless replies might annoy me more than a bunch of half-thought out big ones.

Are you trying to invent Twitter or something? Elon already did that.

I will not make the mods lives more difficult, I will not make the mods lives more difficult ,...

But seriously, I wonder if the recording in episode 9 was actually a tape of some of these threads by voice actors trying to guess the tones of the posters?

A design can't be judged as brilliant without knowing its purpose. No matter how well made and delicious it is, that burrito I had is not a well designed pizza. The SR-71 might be a brilliantly designed plane, but it's awful if it was supposed to be a passenger jet (the X-men not withstanding).

They were trying to make a brilliant interceptor, that turned out to be a more brilliant reconnaissance aircraft.

Intended purpose is less important than effect. Rather than harp on how badly designed a pizza it may be, maybe figuring out how to enjoy it for what it is, rather than what you want it to be, or what marketing copy says it is, is a more fruitful approach.

Either that, or realize that you don't like pineapple, whether it is in a burrito or on pizza.

If the claim is just X is awesome, or X is awesome for what it actually does then I totally agree. (Lots of the great scientific discoveries were found trying to do something else, right?).

If someone orders a thing crust pizza and are given a stuffed one, or orders the chicken but gets beef, then it feels like the quality of the stuffed execution or quality of the beef might not matter (until you're ordering stuffed pizza or beef some time).
