I do this on comments. But not this comment.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

i also didn't do this on this comment.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I did it on this comment, but then I went back and wrote this.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

Had the uno reverse of this the other day. I don’t want to respond to this to justify myself, but damned if I’m gonna let this mf have the last word.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Lol. Hard to fight that one.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Often. Even more often I realize there is no point since the recipient is either a troll or incapable of rational thought.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Yes, all the fucking time.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yes, I write more than twice the work emails than I send. I spend 15 minutes on slack composing a reasoned response with examples and references then edit it down to one sentence. Because I know from bitter experience noone reads long form, at least, not for work. They'd rather spend weeks back and forth on one liners with days in between responses, or only when prompted, than answer one email properly and the whole thjng sorted in a day. Even this is too long. But I'm going to hit submit before the urge to edit overhwlems me.

98% of everything I write gets deleted almost immediately. More if we count typos.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Curious about the math you use to calculate that percentage. Show your work!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Hah! I would have estimated more like one percent but I do still type with a real keyboard occasionally, where I am markedly faster and more accurate. Nevertheless, I still delete most emails, notes, comments, etc without saving them.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

That's really curious to me. I delete what must be less than 1% of the things I write with the intention to send. Maybe I'm reckless? Or maybe I think carefully enough before deciding on starting to type something worth sending? I dunno.

But deleting almost one hundred percent of what you type, seems like a lot of wasted time at the keyboard, to me.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I type pretty fast, it is more just that my brain doesnt work very well. Many times I am writing things just to organize my thoughts.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Okay, yeah. I wonder how long it took you to write those other 99 comment drafts that you discarded before sending this last one. Or the one before your latest comment. 😅😉

"Wait a minute this dude comments on piss drinking subs I dont owe this mf shit about taste wtf"

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

all. the. time.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

More like “Oh god, what if they reply? I don’t have the time for this.”

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

lol how old is that image

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Fuck that shit, I use AI to summarize basically all my overly extended work emails

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

This is why I have a backlog of Lemmy notifications.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Here's one extra!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I just march forward and resign myself to pearls before swine. I don't even pay attention to the notifications or the replies. No war but the class war.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I'm using boost and boost for lemmy tells me I have 5 new replies/messages. Unfortunately, they're not there, so I assume a mod or user itself deleted the comment before I could read it, but the unread messages number never went down

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

… … …

Fuck it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I would write a lengthy response, but....
