I'm not bullshitting you either! And, Winter is the season for these kinds of posts. Nature does the heavy lifting but i get to do the sifting. I laughed when i read you almost fell in the creek. It was worth it and glad you didn't. Take care from a Texan here in Sweden.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
A Texan in Sweden? Wow, I didn´t know :) Thought you were based in the US... So these frosty scenes are nothing special for you I guess, must be very common in Sweden in this part of the year.
It's always special to me. I had seen snow maybe 3 to 5 times in my life in Texas and only 1 or 2 times did it stick for a few hours. We get ice from time to time... but NOTHING like this kind of Scandinavian Winters. I have been back and forth between Texas and Sweden. I don't know if i will ever get used to this kind of cold. BUT, come Summertime i can run laps around these folks that can't handle 80f / 26.6c HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA
I read some of the comment thread about the Blurt stuff earlier on another post. I saw you over there and skimmed a bit of the threads. Now, i feel even better about the Blurt decision after hearing some of your thoughts and comments about that situation. I don't understand how (whoever built that place) they don't see how NOT having a downvote button is a good thing.
What if i just make 1000 bots and have them all shitpost and circle-jerk each other until i am a millionaire off of my .004 cents a pop that nobody can every cancel out, even if it's clearly abuse and negative to the platform? I'm sure they have some answer/reason/excuse to justify it. That was more rhetorically asked... hahaha
Cheers mate!
That´s interesting :) I have lived in different places too, from tropical Central America to as far north as Poland and most of the time, my body adapted quite well after some time. Well, except the summer in Mexico with those 40 C real-feel days and 35 C nights, that´s where I struggled pretty bad actually :D
As for Blurt... not really much to say. From what I have observed, it´s where exposed Hive abusers and scammers end up and some of them even seem to "run" that chain so it can never work out well. And yeah, the missing downvote feature is surely a part of it for the exact reasons you mentioned, even though they argue that it actually is a good thing. Ridiculous.
Yeah, Texas is closer in climate to Mexico as you mentioned. Summers can be dreadful... but you get used to it kind of... well, if you grow up in it i suppose.
Thanks for filling me in a bit on Blurt. What you just said is essentially the behind the scenes conversation... but that comment thread was pretty much the public discussion of what private stakeholders have been feeling and discussing for a while. I thought that dude was chicken shit for trying to throw shade at you for standing up for your own ethical choice. Take care man!
