I need a quippy response to say it’s not that bad, I promise, google or click the link and scan it. Then let’s chat about what you think
TL/DR has always meant that when written in response to a wall of text. If you’re going to post a wall of text, you need to accept that the VAST majority of people will not read it, and include a summary. Convention has evolved that the poster can highlight a summary of their wall of text themselves (and avoid a snarky “TL/DR” comment from others) by the poster highlighting the summary with their own TL/DR notation.
TL/DR: If people are throwing TLDR at you, you need to practice summarizing, rather than comeback quips.
Nah, if someone is too lazy to read one page of a book in equivalent text, they're the ones that need to accept that their attention span and brain Ned need more exercise.
Fuck dumbing down the world
I suppose I’m aiming at a middle ground where yes things should be summarized… but also take a look too, it’s interesting, I want to know what you think after scanning.
It literally always meant that?
It stands for "too long; didn't read."
