  • That’s a great way of putting it.

    Although, when you have millions of people in a platform it’s hard to prevent playful “wars” and “games” between people which works like chain-reaction and everybody starts doing anything or streamers like XQC realizing they can make content out of this and putting their own “minions” aka viewers to make chaos.

    Sometimes, some things are just not in your control.




  • There was this business that was letting at 24:00 receipts on our tables that weren’t ours. And the girl was searching always what table didn’t have a receipt so she would give one randomly.

    Either our “IRS” tax evasion works over night, or that store just makes blank receipts for drugs or other illegal acts. It was weird anyway, and self service. Wtf. Self service in the middle of the town in a beer bar pub like is just weird. Why did they have the waitress giving fake receipts then. Everything was so sketchy.





  • I would gladly answer your question, and I know Im going to get downvoted because I won’t exactly answer it. So understandable if you downvote me for not providing an answer, all I want is to apologize coz I like actually providing productive answers.

    I just want to apologize that Im not willing to invest time into re-iterating my thinking into “why I think signal is not ‘fun’ to use”. I dont wanna invest my time into re-installing Signal, writing a list and an essay about it etc and then going back and forth with you.

    It would require much effort from my time to do that and in detail and we would go back and forth, so I’m just here to apologize for not responding to your question because it’s a great question. I always like to give detailed answers but just not willing to invest my time into this discussion for which Im sorry. I hope you get an answer from somebody else if someone else shares the same opinion.

    For context, and why I’m judging Signal harshly, I’m a software engineer at Powerfactors, and used to be a Frontend developer, now I’m professionally a Backend engineer. And I’ve started as a Fullstack and Freelancer. So I kind of understand both sides and trying to understand the user as well. Like I try to understand users like my Grandmother, my mother, to a programmer or a graphic designer. I try to understand who the software is for, and how to make it appealing to them and useful.

    I make my own Project which I re-iterated many times throughout the years to make user friendly and “fun” or easy to use or actually useful for clients to use. So when I use a piece of software I think in detail what could be done better and what could have gone bad from both frontend, backend, and UX/UI and I like the OSX/Apple philosophy on this one. That’s as much as you’re gonna get from me, Im NOT going to re-install Signal again and write a piece of list and essay coz I know this is gonna take much of my time, it’s who I am, I like writing detailed essays and answers + (i accidentally deleted my last answer instead of clicking edit i clicked delete).

    edit: Again, I wanna emphasize, your question is awesome, if somebody here is UX/UI specialist, or knows about user-experience in general for some reason, and has the time to invest, you have my blessing. I’m making the comparison between Telegram, WhatsApp etc. vs Signal for context and why my opinion is that Signal falls besides them. + As you can see I’m not “arguing in bad faith”. Im here to discuss.:)

  • I love signal, but they have to step up their game. Telegram is a hundred times more fun to use and I hate that my mom and close circle uses it and I hate to say that I don’t wanna use Signal coz it’s a pain to us in comparison with other messengers like Telegram.

    Please Signal, instead of doing features like “pay through signal” do something that is actually useful now instead or fun. Who wanted to pay through signal in the first place. Maybe a small audience but is that small audience your target group!?

    I love signal for keeping up to their own standards of keeping privacy (until somebody else steps up as a CEO Ehe. Fuck spez). But their overall User Experience sucks compared to other apps.

    I’ve listened to Lex Fridman’s podcast

    Zuck does BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). Elon Musk idk what he does, but he’s clunky.

    BJJ can really block you off of doing anything and Elon Musk is not as much kilos to really get out of the BJJ moves. It’s really powerful if used well and ive got the impression after Zuck has been in BJJ competitions that he’s got some good and consistence experience.

    In any case, Zuck is not as robotic as you think nor as unsocial as you think. He just doesn’t care as much as you guys might think but he’s not that bad at combat/fighting or muscles. He’s an athletic guy from my impression and Elon Musk I think is far from it. Maybe I’m wrong, prove me wrong if I am.



  • Yep. Especially after the training it’s like “yeah man I did it”.

    Also, it’s all about consistency. Perfectionism is the enemy of consistency. Don’t be a perfectionist. Just be consistent and soon you’ll see results.

    Like I see some people who just started working out and do as many push-ups or any other excercise with as many reps as they possibly can and after they’re exhausted.

    That’s wrong. These people think that if you don’t do 100 pushups first day you’re a failure.

    No, do even one push up. It’s more that 0. Then do 2, then 5, then 10, then 5 again coz you don’t feel like it today.

    Like don’t starve for perfectionism. Just be consistent and you’ll actually get to enjoy working out. It’s a great way to clear your mind, have a healthy body, build muscles, better body chemistry and less diseases etc. Be consistent, not perfect. And avoid guys who make you feel you’re not doing enough. These guys will make you feel like every exercise should be perfect or with the highest reps possible or smth.
