... in the bar, being a bit of an asshole helps, but it has to be the playful asshole, not the arsehole.
Really tough to get this balance right, and the beer doesn't improve judgement at all :D
It definitely helps try to be consistent with personality, hopefully your normal self, just as much as the content you produce. My stuff can be all over the place at times, which if you believe what was written in the earlier days would not work out.
With 3.5 years of communication though, the person's person, if fairly consistent, can be evaluated. Happy to fall into the category of lazy, loner, who spends his upvotes on beer :)
Desperation is never a good look either :D
I think your content is a mix of personal as well as the generalised value of the data sets on top. I think there is a good mix for many tastes to grab a piece of and engage with.
Spending up voted on beer will hopefully be replaced by buying beer with upvotes :)
A bit like the meat market - plenty of different tastes available.
Do you mean those I upvote buying me beer in the future? I'll take it :)
Wouldn't it be cool if I could upvote and get you the 4 week tasting selection from @meesterboom ?
