Good post! Thank you for writing it Luke =)
Thanks for reinforcing Luke! And it's great that you applied the theory so quickly!
Yay recursive reinforcement!
Why, thanks! It's helpful to hear you say that!
I think I'm going to be ill if this continues.
Moar recursion! Keep it up! :D
No. Unreflective happy death spirals get people killed. Shame on all of you for being bad people.
I'm glad you mentioned this.
Don't be glad. If you need reinforcement, be relieved. Gladness tends to cause unreflective happy death spirals. Shame on you for being glad.
Presumably the emotion you actually felt was relief, and "glad" was merely used as an inaccurate/misleading synonym? In which case, shame on you for using inaccurate/misleading synonyms.
(I'm totally at least a quarter serious, maybe half.)
Thank you for wanting us to not have unreflective happy death spirals. I will have to repeat the behavior that caused you to express such caring.
I guess now it's the right time to say big thanks to everyone who didn't contribute to this thread!
I don't want you to not have unreflective happy death spirals, I'm just horrified at the potential consequences of not going out of my way to prevent you from having unreflective happy death spirals. Shame on you for imprecision and/or implicitly accusing me of hypocrisy.
I see what you did there!
(I didn't until EY pointed that out.)
Good on you for admitting error.
"god this is even more phygish than just that quote about eliezer getting fed mnms"
what's "phygish"?
rot13 it
Source.
That strikes me as goofy, not phygish.
I agree, so much that I think I might be missing something.
