It's February, the arbitrarily themed month of love and sex! Naturally, we're having a themed discussion to reflect this fact. We're also departing from the usual schedule and doing it on a Sunday so we can finally meet the mysterious can't-come-on-saturday crowd! Any snacks you might want to bring would be dully appreciated.
afaik, someone downvotes all of the meetup posts when they come up, and two other people upvote all of them shortly thereafter.
I up vote meetup posts because running a meetup is work, and is undervalued in this community.
Speaking as someone who runs a meetup: thanks!
I often procrastinate on putting up the meetup post. I'm not entirely sure why. It makes me happy when people notice that I put in the effort to do so and upvote the post, and (I think) makes it a little easier to do next time. It still feels kinda silly that I care about the karma number, but I do. And, as they say: if it's silly, and it works, it isn't silly.
Not sure when the meetup is. WHEN: 16 February 2014 01:00:00PM (-0700) is Saturday, not Sunday.
[Meta] Now I'm wondering why the OP is so heavily upvoted, for a meetup announcement. I'd be very surprised if this wasn't the highest-voted meetup post of all time, even.
I'm guessing RobertLumley's "Why would you downvote a meetup post?" caused people to upvote. I know I like to upvote when someone points out unnecessary-seeming downvotes.
I think the subtitle creates some interesting imagery when contrasted with the typical stereotypes of SLC.
