I do this on comments. But not this comment.

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

i also didn't do this on this comment.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I did it on this comment, but then I went back and wrote this.

[-] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 16 points 3 months ago

Had the uno reverse of this the other day. I don’t want to respond to this to justify myself, but damned if I’m gonna let this mf have the last word.

[-] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 6 points 3 months ago

Lol. Hard to fight that one.

Yes, I write more than twice the work emails than I send. I spend 15 minutes on slack composing a reasoned response with examples and references then edit it down to one sentence. Because I know from bitter experience noone reads long form, at least, not for work. They'd rather spend weeks back and forth on one liners with days in between responses, or only when prompted, than answer one email properly and the whole thjng sorted in a day. Even this is too long. But I'm going to hit submit before the urge to edit overhwlems me.

98% of everything I write gets deleted almost immediately. More if we count typos.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Curious about the math you use to calculate that percentage. Show your work!

[-] higgsboson@dubvee.org 0 points 3 months ago

Hah! I would have estimated more like one percent but I do still type with a real keyboard occasionally, where I am markedly faster and more accurate. Nevertheless, I still delete most emails, notes, comments, etc without saving them.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

That's really curious to me. I delete what must be less than 1% of the things I write with the intention to send. Maybe I'm reckless? Or maybe I think carefully enough before deciding on starting to type something worth sending? I dunno.

But deleting almost one hundred percent of what you type, seems like a lot of wasted time at the keyboard, to me.

[-] higgsboson@dubvee.org 1 points 3 months ago

I type pretty fast, it is more just that my brain doesnt work very well. Many times I am writing things just to organize my thoughts.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Okay, yeah. I wonder how long it took you to write those other 99 comment drafts that you discarded before sending this last one. Or the one before your latest comment. 😅😉

"Wait a minute this dude comments on piss drinking subs I dont owe this mf shit about taste wtf"

[-] tobis@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

More like “Oh god, what if they reply? I don’t have the time for this.”

[-] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

… … …

Fuck it.

[-] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

lol how old is that image

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Fuck that shit, I use AI to summarize basically all my overly extended work emails

[-] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago

This is why I have a backlog of Lemmy notifications.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Here's one extra!

[-] andybytes@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

I just march forward and resign myself to pearls before swine. I don't even pay attention to the notifications or the replies. No war but the class war.

[-] MrAlternateTape@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I would write a lengthy response, but....

[-] vosje62@mastodon.nl 0 points 3 months ago

@shadowplay yep ... That works fine!
👍👍
