I don’t think any of these people know what “smart” is supposed to mean cause these must be the dumbest ideas for any product I’ve heard so far.

4x4 bingo?

“it really does take a village” showing a photo of the village not giving a shit

wow I hate this meme format

what about BASIC

it’s spelled img - ur

no, it’s spelled imgur. I know what img stands for which is why I said it would be one thing to call it imgr. the u doesn’t make sense and it hardens the g. it’s funny that you talk about how it’s customary that img stands for image but you act like ‘ur’ is also a thing by itself.

well it is, just not in that way. if your img-ur breakup made any sense for pronouncing img as if it’s independent then why not consider what ur stands for? it’s a shortening of your or you’re. so why not pronounce it image your? because it’s bullshit and the spelling is ridiculous.

as it’s spelled: im gur.

It’s one thing to name it imgr, but putting a fucking u after the g makes it a hard g in literally every instance. the letter u is the reason the g is pronounced as a hard g in words that otherwise wouldn’t need a u: fragile / guile, digest / guest, etc.

I laughed out loud when I first learned that imgur is supposed to be pronounced as "imager’… well you fuckin chose the wrong combination of letters for that didn’t ya

i pronounce “gay” as “jay-why” because of the bloody alphabet

so I assume you also say “jit-hub”?

if this troglodyte says it doesn’t you can be sure that it does.

I’m not a complete idiot. that’s easy to find. what I’m talking about is ones that require self hosting or dockers pants or whatever it’s called.

as an end user I unironically agree with the general sentiment if not necessarily the method of communicating it.

good god he wrote two lines and they’re both dumb as fuck

that’s not a Venn diagram

I disagree. “It’s ugly” is valid criticism. It has the same value as “needs better/more appealing graphics”. You’re just annoyed it wasn’t sugar coded. In fact I’d argue the former is more valuable than the latter because it doesn’t beat around the bush and more importantly it points to a problem rather than the solution.

As a designer I find that most often customers don’t hit the mark by trying to design the thing themselves, telling me exactly what they want, essentially trying to do my job for me. Hearing the customer’s problems with it to figure out a solution on my own as a designer is better a vast majority of the time.

“I don’t like it” is bad. “I think it looks awful” is better. “I hate the colors” is best. I don’t really care about wording, I care about the information I get.

it’s not though
