I was replying to a person who said nobody gave a shit about merit, clearly i do

May I ask, Why?

number go up feel nice

There are a thousand other threads where you can do that and get a higher probability of someone else out there clicking on the +merit button.

You don't just go on the internets to get feel good validation, it doesn't really work that way. Have to lower your expectations.

There is a price to pay to get merits, and there is no guarantee that you will even get any. That cost is time and posting everywhere else but here.

If you are going to post here, you would do well to get a feel for what is acceptable here by reading a few dozen or hundred pages back and see how it goes.

Think of this as migrating to a new country. You apply for your visa. You intend to live there. You intend to work there. You have to get along and have the same cultural experience. You have to stop complaining and accepting what it is to be there. You have to fit in.

Otherwise, you won't, and you'll suffer, and not get a job (if you were looking for one) and go broke. A lot of people who wanted to come to America or USA or Canada or Australia or England or Singapore ... they don't really make it and go back to their original countries. They tried to change a system, when what they should have been doing is change themselves. You have to work hard and blend in. Or find out a place or group there where you can do it.

Ironically i have gained more merit by bashing this thread than by participating in it, but I can admit i was wrong now
