HAHAHAHAHA! … HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Hey, I’m almost there! I’ve just been working towards Elder instead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just find this badge ironically hilarious.
500 posts that you’ve made, with likes - that’s some going!
I wonder if anyone will script an auto post thingy that creates a new post every hour like that guy who scripted a new video on youtube and has over a million videos etc created from scraped questions/answers from stackoverflow et al. That is mental lol
It’s really got nothing at all to do with empathy, though.
People click that little heart for all sorts of reasons. 75% of which, have little to do with whether they think I’m a nice guy, or “feel heard” or whatever.
- An argument you agree with
- A link you found helpful
- A reciprocal click (I clicked like on something you wrote)
- A habit of clicking like on everything you read
- An accidental like. This UI sometimes confuses people.
And even if the click is because whoever it is thinks I’m a nice guy, what does that have to do with an “identification with the feelings of another”? There are plenty of reasons to like or dislike someone that doesn’t require you to identify with how they feel about some object of attention.
In any case, I hate that word. It’s so over-used today, it’s practically meaningless. At BEST, it’s synonym for “sympathy” when you want to sound smart. At worst, it’s a manipulation tactic.
I click all your posts with a heart so it confuses the AI!!
Oh no, now we have to move the topic.
And here I am thinking people who like my memes like my memes. Man, you guys must be real error-prone lol.
Well now I don’t. How long will it take me to unlike everything of yours? FFS.
Also, is there potential to un-badge you?
Isn’t de-badgering against the rules???
Bee-Nice to each other???
Well, he did ban the word L******.
Hey, wait a minute, you said it @sdloveless!
Louvre?
That’s gotta hurt!! It Megahertz!!!

And even if the click is because whoever it is thinks I’m a nice guy, what does that have to do with an “identification with the feelings of another”?
Calm down, it’s just a silly gamification feature of the software.
We’re software nerds, we work in the gamification field of life!

I have no idea where I’m at on the badge count. I haven’t even been paying attention. But it’s nice to know I’ll become empathetic after awhile. I guess!
You have 7. \(ツ)/
