This is quite possibly one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. First off, the form. I did not appreciate the fact that hitting the down arrow on the keyboard made me scroll right, and the right arrow did nothing. I'm amazed by people that go to great technical lengths to fuck up scrolling. My browser works fine by default, stop doing shit to break it.
Second, I can't even find the point of this article other than like, Paul Krugman wins at something and they have illustrated this by showing him punching people? Is that really the standard now? Jesus Christ. Even before this I thought Paul Krugman was generally an idiot, and while I don't know if he endorsed this nonsense, it doesn't help my opinion of him.
Third, the animated gifs made this unfucking readable. Even if I wanted to focus on the light weight content, I couldn't, because there's this goddamn gif blinking in the corner of my eye every three seconds. If you're making me queue up an ad blocker to block a thing that's not even an ad, you've failed at web design.
- overgard 11y agoFor the downvoters: please explain your reasons, cowards.
- rsync 11y agoDo not discuss your own downvotes. Do not interrupt the actual discussion to meta-discuss the scoring system.
- overgard 11y agoI don't care. I'll do it anyway. When I disagree with something strongly at least I'll state my reasons. I rarely downvote people I disagree with if their arguments have obviously been considered. If we don't extend the courtesy of explaining ourselves to others, instead of learning from each other this turns into a popularity contest, and the value of the community is lost.
- dredmorbius 11y agoApplause, on all points. I've got the article open in w3m to see it's even worth reading.
