A 360 would be embarrassing as it places you back to the same road. Perhaps it was an "embarrassing 180" instead.
- JayJee 10y agoThis entire writing style of this article is embarrassing not to mention the ads EVERYWHERE. I had to open this in links to be able to read it.
- MattConfluence 10y agoI was puzzled by that sentence too, but I figured it could be interpreted as "going in the same direction, for a different reason".
- rm999 10y agoIt's actually is one of the rare instances I've seen "do a 360" used appropriately. Facebook revamped their policy around the issue while ending up at exactly the same place: you have to use your real name.
- calvins 10y agoBut doing a 360 doesn't mean doing a 180, and then sometime much later, doing another 180.
- kbenson 10y agoI think it's a matter of context and time-frame. If the end up pointing the same way they started, that's 360 degrees. That might entail two 180 flips at different points, and if talking about one of those specifically, it would be appropriate to say they did a 180 when referring to that specific situation.
