Grouch count
A list of words that if used, adds to a count in your profile. | |
I don't even know if this is possible because words can be used in ways that were never intended, A bit like our universe really. Although, smart people trying to avoid the list and still get away with a poke might be more interesting. Subtle ones that go over the posters head would be the gold standard.
If
there are words that are specific for person attacks or put downs, these words could be listed and used as a count on a halfbaker's annotational demeanor. If you feel you are getting flamed unjustly, you can go and check out the profile. Looking at the grouch count informs you that the person is just the Halfbakery Street grouch and you personally can feel a bit better.
The numbers could be translated to an icon of Oscar. First a waste paper bin, then then street rubbish can, then Oscar peeping out and finally lid off,Oscar fully out.
It would be nice to use positive words but as in life and evolution, looking for the negative has been weighted.
Or Goth Crunch?

Sounds like Chinese regime totalitarian "social credit
rating" stuff. An enthusiastically grouchy bone for
that idea. |
|
| |
Just put me at the top of the "grouch" list and leave
everybody else alone. |
|
| |
Depends on who sets the word list. Of course, there would be a landscape of subtle grouchies. |
|
| |
This is the best idea ever, because words always mean one
concrete expression completely independent of context, and
I really mean this with all my heart, and am not being
completely and utterly sarcastic in any way whatsoever... |
|
| |
Sorry, [wjt], but lexical parsing sucks. |
|
| |
(So, what [Ray] said). [-] |
|
| |
I just keep reading this as Grouch Cunt. Somewhere deep in
my subconscious my halfbakery ideation engine is working
on an idea for that title... |
|
| |
OMG you said that word. Or I mean you wrote that word, or
something... |
|
| |
Are you sure it wasn't Gout Crunch? |
|
| |
[blissmiss] This is the echelon of the oblique thinkers, stepping away from a word's meaning while holding it tighter, is buttered croissant around here. |

Gout Crunch - the breakfast cereal for corpulent alcoholics.
Fortified with port. |
|

Now when I see the idea my mind mimics wags interpretation,
and I hear that in my head. I'm gonna have to shut my eyes
when I open the Halfbakery. That's gonna be weird. Wonder
what I'll open. I'm gonna give it a try and see. |

Fortified port ? You mean like Valetta, or somewhere ? |
|
| |
That made me groan as I lie here on my sofa, 8th. The
sound was sort of a... couch grunt. |
|
| |
Actually, you remind me of my posh but grumpy uncle,
Count Grouch. |
|
| |
He's sadly not around any longer though. He was good
friends with a famous green grump who wanted to ruin
Christmas. The pair fell out when Count Grouch molested
his friend's wife. He was killed for feeling up the... |

I recall an internet-famous debate during which someone whose name rhymes with "pordon Jeeterson" absolutely trounced a reporter in a debate. There was one of the usual storms on twitter, and someone wrote a paper on that storm, the premise of which was that it constituted harassment and misogyny. The way they judged is to use a computer to filter out tweets for violent words. So a tweet like "He absolutely spanked her" was taken either as a threat of violence or as violent misogyny. The prevalence of positive or negative words in a post are somewhat indicative of negativity, but it takes a human level mind to parse them and decide whether they're actually positive, negative, or neutral. Anyone claiming they can count words and thereby arrive at a conclusion has an axe to grind. |

I was watching Youtube, the oracle for letting your brain spill out on the floor, and one commentator's opinion was that compounding research will eventually make A.I at a human processing level. His point was that the field has a cool value, rather than the nuclear isotopes, DNA manipulation, angels fear to tread other scenarios. People aren't as scared, as they possible should be, because it's just code in a box. There will always be someone to sharpen some of the hammers from that box. |

Of course there must be a limited number of lists needed to remember double meanings of sentences. The grouchy Count Grammarly will be annoyed and mark recording if advice is not taken. |

Humans are very, very bad at assessing and comprehending the relative and absolute values of real and potential threats - particularly Black Swans. |
