imgur.com/OiVJwFz Meet Speaker, a big dog.

A Shy pack leader, good walk companion and responds when I snap. Actually that should have been his name, but it would be hard to tell that to people.

so I've kept it a secret between us. People do get confused when I snap while walking. but it's better than calling the names with the risk of getting ignored by the dogs.

@ankii doggo :D what a pretty coat! what's he doing in the picture though?

ankii

@EmC He was limping.. trying to lick the supposedly hurt area.

But there was no wound. He healed quickly.

Em C

aw, glad he's fine

ankii

Today was a tiring day at SE for me

Em C

heh, usually weekends are the quiet days

ankii

I started at Apple.SE with answering, editing, commenting on questions about the new updates.

Then went on to post and edit something on meta.SE and also some long pending conflict resolution on Meta.Apple

2 days ago, by ankii

I am going to bump up 3 questions on meta, day after tomorrow

posting on meta, there's your mistake :P

(I say, having posted a super long answer on IPS meta this afternoon)

ankii

@EmC IKR!

I now understand the fury about DVotes with no reason, on a new user's post.

Apple meta is going to stay cool.. I can predict.

"I think your post might be better-received it if focused on just your first question. " That doesnt seem to be correct @D.W.. See linked question in the sidebar. thanks for the help anyway. Guess I should stay to where I hail from. — ankii 27 mins ago

"to" was a mistake.

Em C

:( yeah main meta can be a tough crowd, especially with feature requests

ankii

well you didnt need to upvote (if you did).. just saw a +3

not caring much about it now

πάντα ῥεῖ

@ankii Interesting: Another chat server I am not banned from :-D

Em C

it's all just internet points in the end :) I think it's an interesting idea but definitely having some data is important to convince people it's worth doing something about

ankii

@πάνταῥεῖ misread it. Well you must be really something then. ;)

πάντα ῥεῖ

@ankii TM

ankii

@EmC yeah, didn't anticipate it.

imagine SE disappearing someday and you're no longer a reputable user.

Remember Instagram memes.. one is no longer a model.

Also, forewarning, I left a comment on my post linking this room for @πάνταῥεῖ . It might attract some users here.

Should I delete it? @EmC

πάντα ῥεῖ

@ankii It's pretty useless IMO.

ankii

Now it is.. for other users too.

Em C

@ankii well if it was just for them, they've clearly seen it by now ;)

@EmC You've got the bad bad evil in the house now ;-)

ankii

Will see if things change after I wake up. or might just not. it's 7 in the morning and I am going to bed. didnt sleep last night.

Em C

Alex

@ankii Sleep is overrated.

Posted an answer for you on the one question @ankii, hope that helps - if not I'll take my share of downvotes too :P

ankii

@Alex Breakfast isn't. guess I'd do that first.

@EmC Saw that! :)

you'd hardly get any downvote. It is a relief to a lot of people. If I were them, I'd even upvote.

Em C

\o/

Alex

@ankii Can't call it breakfast if you haven't slept.

ankii

@Alex hahaha.. I didnt eat anything though... for 9 hours. So kinda breaking a fast now.

Alex

Interesting... I just got pinged for the same message three times.

ankii

02:23

And I didn’t even edit it. I’ll spare you one here xd.

Alex

I don't mind the pings. I'm just curious as to why it happened.

4 hours later…
