Scrolling reddit as an Urban Planner is indeed very very frustrating.

I think everyone who thinks Reddit is good and/or smart and has good info pretty much never go to subreddits for topics they already know a lot about. It's like, "oh, Reddit gave me good info on lawn mowers, batteries, and lighting!" and then they go into the subreddit for their profession and think "why is everyone so loving dumb here?!" It's a very human thing, kind of beautiful in a way.

Deep Glove Bruno posted:aja is also a weird case as guys who install their own private mains transformers to their house to get better quality electricity for their colossal audiophile bass tomb (surprise!) are also not actually into music and love to test their new $30K cabling with aja because they can't think of any other music to put on This is not an exaggeration. I spent a few months working for one of those AV companies that runs sound and video systems for conventions at hotels. Our boss threw a BBQ one day and invited us over. He has this big system with a really over priced CD player (this was 1995ish) and just kept talking and talking about the album as it was playing and all the specs on his system and all the tweaking he'd done it make it sound whatever.

The regular /r/guitar subreddit is so funny. Mods are absolutely tyrannical and will band people almost at random for asking regular beginner questions, or for making a post that resembles a joke in any way. I just can't imagine what kind of person would mod like that, like what kind of person they are in real life. Its like the most pathetic iron fist ever, the most eyerolling display of "power" I've ever seen.

syntaxfunction posted:I think everyone who thinks Reddit is good and/or smart and has good info pretty much never go to subreddits for topics they already know a lot about. Disagree. Its particularly difficult as a planner because it bleeds into local politics, transport, property, architecture, etc. The average person may not think they know much about mechanical engineering, aviation, or antique rugs, but a whole lot of people think they have the magical solution to fix whatever their particular bugbear is about [insert city], without even a rudimentary understanding of public economics or civil infrastructure. 90% of local city subs are full of rampant NIMBYs and naysayers. They're just there to complain, and it's completely pointless to engage people. Also, if your cite any sort of credentials Redditors who disagree have a tendency to dive into your post history and get super creepy. I had a pretty mild opinion on an initiative in my hometown and some guy followed me around the sub citing the fact that I don't live in the country anymore. Reddit is rear end.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Reddit doesn't know what the gently caress they're talking about, you only get that impression if you don't know anything about the topic. If you're, say, a composer, you go to a compositions subreddit and you see all the bullshit people say and you know they're full of poo poo, and pointing out they are is pointless. But if you don't know poo poo about composing then it might come off as real knowledge, purely based on naivety.

Yeah I was only disagreeing that it's "kind of beautiful in a way". My particular profession bleeds into so much public life that people are just wrong everywhere and not in niche places. Its especially apparent in local subs which have been cited as one of the good and active parts of reddit. If I were a hex nut expert or something I probably wouldn't find the whole site as insufferable, just r/hexnuts or whatever.

I meant the human experience of eventually realising Reddit is full of poo poo is kind of beautiful. Not the rest of it.

Sometimes known as Gell-Mann Amnesia quote:Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

Yes, there's a lot of mediocre writing on there, but there's also a lot that's inspirational for my own project, and I like seeing what others are working on. The decent alternatives are: A bit late but you could try sufficient velocity. I mostly read the CYOAs there but there's a bunch of writing stuff too. It's not just scifi stuff

The regional train system is spending billions to tunnel under the river instead of creating greater connectivity on the outer network. Fares remain exorbitantantly high and the whole system still operates at a deficit. Meanwhile our mayors office just called public housing "Stalinist".

I dont, but here is a webinar from MIT about how experts and those in technical fields can more effectively communicate. https://mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-to-matter/curse-knowledge-why-experts-struggle-to-explain-their-work Its made by nerds though and probably doesn't give any tips for how to not get dogpiled when stating convoluted, technical ideas like "people need houses", or "roads cost money".
