Didn't you post a few GDT's hilariously early a few times?

You're posting for free?
Damn, I'm paying 25 cents per post.

Yeah lol -- I used to post them at 12:00 AM on game-days, which was pretty lame of me tbh.
I once got in actual trouble for posting one at 10:00 AM, a reasonable time, but on the day before. That was 100% an accident.

Oh please. I hardly venture into FoI, so it's really not an issue for me but it's blatant thanks-whoring.

Why would I care about thanks? To misquote Spider-Man 2: "What's thanks? Can I spend it?"
Discouraging the posting of threads is such a bad practice. There is literally nothing wrong with more threads.

Do people care about thanks? Because I hand mine out like candy. If it had some value I would think twice before moving my hand a little to the right and pressing my finger down.

You know what does suck? When you accidentally "thank" someone's post on Tapatalk and then you can't remove it.

When you say it that way it sounds so dirty.

She got your message; one "Thanks" has been distributed.
Allow me to adjust my Excel spreadsheet of Thanks.

There's at least one study that argues the little dopamine hit of pleasure from getting a like on Facebook is similar - though milder - to that of taking cocaine. Social media attention is almost literally a drug for many people.

That can't be right; I've already reached my H&B quota for 30 years' worth of life.

They don't keep score in timbits but the kids still know who is winning.

You already got the social justice award, let some other people win once and a while.
