Monthly Bragging Thread April 2016

3 Soothsilver 08 April 2016 01:26PM

Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to comment on this thread explaining the most awesome thing you've done this month. You may be as blatantly proud of yourself as you feel. You may unabashedly consider yourself the coolest freaking person ever because of that awesome thing you're dying to tell everyone about. This is the place to do just that.

Remember, however, that this isn't any kind of progress thread. Nor is it any kind of proposal thread. This thread is solely for people to talk about the awesome things they have done. Not "will do." Not "are working on." Have already done. This is to cultivate an environment of object level productivity rather than meta-productivity methods. For example:
  • Published a new novel: Yes, brag heartily.
  • Wrote an outline for a new novel: No, please wait until the novel is finished.

So, what's the coolest thing you've done this month?

Group Bragging Thread (May 2015)

7 Viliam 29 May 2015 10:36PM

This is similar to the usual bragging threads, with one major exception: this thread is for groups, not individuals.

Please comment on this thread explaining awesome things that you have done with your fellow rationalists as a group. The lower bound on group size is three people.

Otherwise the rules are analogical: be as blatantly proud of your group as you feel, consider your group the coolest freaking group ever because of that awesome thing you're dying to tell everyone about. This is the place to do just that. - No work in progress, no proposals, only the awesome things you have already done.

And because this is the first such thread, feel free to write about anything that happened since the extinction of dinosars until the end of May 2015.

 

(Yes, organizing Less Wrong meetups is a valid example of an activity that belongs here, if at least three people participated. Please try to include more details than merely "we organized a LW meetup in <city_name>".)

October 2014 Bragging thread.

7 Joshua_Blaine 07 October 2014 06:20PM

So, to quote myself all those months ago when I first had this idea (I haven't actually posted one of these since the original. funny how that happens):

In an attempt to encourage more people to actually do awesome things (a la instrumental rationality), I am proposing a new monthly thread (can be changed to bi-weekly, should that be demanded). Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to comment on this thread explaining the most awesome thing you've done this month. You may be as blatantly proud of you self as you feel. You may unabashedly consider yourself the coolest freaking person ever because of that awesome thing you're dying to tell everyone about. This is the place to do just that.

Remember, however, that this isn't any kind of progress thread. Nor is it any kind of proposal thread.This thread is solely for people to talk about the awesomest thing they've done all month. not will do. not are working onhave already done.This is to cultivate an environment of object level productivity rather than meta-productivity methods.

Anything not mentioned in a previous bragging thread is still fair game, even If it didn't actually happen in the last month.
