On a side note, the respect system we have here at f.ds has made me apathetic to Facebook "likes". Why should I care about something that doesn't accumulate and whose total is not shown next to my avatar or something? It's a good thing likes aren't recorded that way, actually. One less thing for people to obsess about.

I think +1s here are overrated as an accumulated measure, especially when most of it comes from memes. I would prefer to not have accumulated respect showing next to the avatar, so +1s can serve for saying "I agree" in a concise manner. In a forum I used to participate in, and admin specifically say they avoided giving stats about how many +1s (or -1s, which said forum had) a given user had, precisely to avoid +1s becoming an evaluation of a user instead of a post.

Man, that +X by my name is the only thing that makes me feel good about life.

I wouldn't say they're overrated. It's a well known fact that most respect comes from jokes and hosting tournaments. It's a good measure for how funny your jokes are. Ironically, having a low post-to-respect ratio could be an indication that you predominantly post serious stuff, like Dominion analysis.

There are people who upvote good Dominion analysis.  Good dominion analysis can easily garner a 1:1 ratio.  Jokes/memes are just easier to get that 1:1 ratio.

Hello.  Name's Bruce.  It's all right.  I understand.  Why trust a shark, right?

Is quite curious - Who is the mystical "Celestial Chameleon"?

Threatening to eat people that don't upvote you with a scary avatar gets you to that 3:2 ratio.

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

You can't both post in this thread and get respect.  That's double-dipping.

If we join the line of time at plus infinity and minus infinity, time becomes periodic, and future and past become one and the same, modulo some length of time. So if I get engaged in the future, then I got engaged already!

Sorry to hear that bro.  It sucks when it happens but truly, each past relationship I had in some way shaped me to be the person who I am today.  They made me capable of loving my wife as she needed to be loved and prepared me to be the person for her.

So yeah, getting dumped is not fun ever.  But take time to heal and let what you learn shape future relationships.

And listen to KingZog and play Dominion.  :)
