If quitting a job is "performative" what would you consider a "non-performative" act?
Ironically, you are doing your own preaching in your comments. It could even be described as "performative."
- EA-3167 16d agoOh God I realized the issue here, I didn't make myself clear: Talking about doing something on a 4 month old account is not the same as doing it. I give credit to people for doing things, not claiming to do them in an anonymous forum they just joined. Cynical? Perhaps, but maybe if people were just a bit more cynical about believing any text on the internet just because it feels better to believe it, we'd be better off.
- slowin 16d agoYou don't have to believe me, but I made my account after I quit. I wanted to be able to talk about what happened without doxxing myself and my old account was tied to my actual work.
- JoshTriplett 15d agoThat's fair; when all is said and done, more is said than done. That is much, much better than the more common thing that leads to comments like yours; I think some comments and downvotes come from the assumption that your comments come from a place of "I don't like it when people make decisions based on their ethics, because I don't like their ethics". That is, unfortunately, very common.
