I'm just pointing out that he doesn't actually want his stats out there, and likely can't even do at least one of the exercises. He just wanted to try and smugly write about how everyone is fat and lazy.

Yngwie Mangosteen posted:you have no idea how big a burn I think it is. Ok, genuinely, how are you not getting this. My stats would be posted alongside everyone else. And I freely admit, I’m not in great shape, my stats would be pretty low. There is no smugness here. I’m not sure why you are reading that into my proposal. If I wanted to be mean I’d propose some kind of national brain test, because your inability to understand a simple proposal and your unfounded imagining of nefarious purpose suggests you’d score pretty low!

There is no smugness here. I’m not sure why you are reading that into my proposal. I understand your proposal. I just suggested if you are going to post about wanting stats listed, you should put up your own stats. It's an easy thing to collect, and you do not need a government arbitrator to use the stopwatch function on your phone or measure the length of a jump. Personally, I don't want those stats anywhere. It's a strange thing to want in my opinion, and your backpedaling panic at the suggestion that you do what you said you'd require everyone else to do shows that you realize it's a weird thing too. Punkinhead posted:Oh I have no doubt he could do it and probably better than most, I just think it comes off like a weird little power fantasy about a government mandated program to prove he can do it better than other people and probably mock or shame them for it He's backpedaling hard now, but yeah that's how the post came across - and why I said 'ok what're your stats'. It was weird internet tough guy ish posting about how everyone should be more fit. Yngwie Mangosteen has a new favorite as of 17:01 on Oct 21, 2023 |

Yngwie Mangosteen posted:I understand your proposal. Ok no you clearly don’t understand the proposal. Everyone has to do it. That way no one is singled out. But you insist on trying to single me out for mockery. Yngwie Mangosteen posted:He's backpedaling hard now, but yeah that's how the post came across - and why I said 'ok what're your stats'. It was weird internet tough guy ish posting about how everyone should be more fit. Where the gently caress am I backpedaling? What’s actually happening is that you read some kind of malice in my idea based on absolutely nothing, and the more I reiterate that it’s not an idea born of malice, that idea very slowly is starting to penetrate your thick skull. So my position has remained the same, it’s just your imagined idea of me that’s changing. And rather than accept that you were wrong, you interpret your own changing interpretation of my position as me backpedaling.

So you can see where you are compared to the rest of the country, so you can see if you’ve improved since last year, so you can compete with friends if you want, the same reason stats are kept on any kind of physical activity where stats are kept.

Gripweed posted:Oh my god. Because my proposal was that everyone do it. Remember? That was the start of this whole stupid argument? The idea that you have claimed to understand but repeatedly demonstrated that you don’t? but you're the one who thinks it'd be fun to post stats, nobody else has expressed any desire for it. The fact that you keep insisting 'it's for everyone!' Is what's making it come across as you wanting to shame others - we don't need to keep going back and forth, I'm just illustrating what your various posts suggested and are suggesting. It's not because it's fun, you won't do it unless you can compare it to others. Maybe you didn't mean to imply what you did, but I've written a lot of words to show you why it came across that way - and I'm not the only one who read it that way. No need to keep getting defensive and trying to insult my intelligence. I was taking it slow so you could understand. Let's move on.

Stores switching from calling shoppers "customers" to calling them "guests" is a naked power grab. A guest is expected to be gracious and deferential to their host, while a customer can have expectations and make demands of their vendor.

A guest is expected to be gracious and deferential to their host, while a customer can have expectations and make demands of their vendor. Guests are welcomed in, customers just show up. The differentiation in terminology was only useful when it was nonstandard though, and now “loving guests” sounds just as natural as “loving customers”
