    I’ve watched all of the Gordon Ramsey Kitchen Nightmares series and it’s full of these, except it’s usually fuckin’ instead of absolute.

    My favorite is when after having lunch he went back to the kitchen to find they were just microwaving everything. The exchange went something like this:

    “Did I have anything for lunch that wasn’t microwaved?”

    “your salad”

    “Of course you don’t microwave a salad you fuckin’ donut”

  • This might be a real unpopular opinion but I think the down vote is a broken feature. We do need some kind of vote to help the best stuff rise to the top, thus the up vote. Down vote basically says “I disagree with your opinion but I don’t have a strong enough rebuttal to engage in the discussion to explain why”. A basic agreement doesn’t usually add a lot to the conversation unless the comment itself comes with additional context, a disagreement requires some level of dialog as to explain why. It encourages this bubble hivemind instead of open discussion. Really makes me miss how popular forums were in the mid 2000s.

    It doesn’t really stop spam, we have stronger mechanics for that like reporting, moderation and spambot tools. Plus posts without any engagement usually just fall off pretty quickly without reaching a wider audience.

    Then you have your trolls who collect down votes. Having a vote score of 1 is way less compelling for a troll than -15.

    Edit

    4 down votes without discussion, we’ve just proved the point.
