  • If there are the same number of values then the scales are identical, as you mentioned. There might be some differencss in how it is perceived on the individual level, but it doesn’t mean they are not the same scale.

    For example, a numbered scale to me invites more comparisons to other values because they are numbers. This makes them feel less accurate when I disagree about whether one similarly scored movie is better than the average score. Stars don’t have this same urge for me, but might for someone else.

    I kind of like the rotten tomatoes idea of whether something is mostly liked or not, because it doesn’t encourage comparisons.


  • When Counterstrike first came out a quarter century ago one friend had a PC and we would take turns playing it and wanted to compare stats on some 3rd party stat tracking site so we could talk shit on each other. Finding a unique name was a pain, but I got lucky with this one, which is probably based on something Jay from Clerks said.

    I’ve been lucky that it isn’t taken when signing up for stuff so I keep using it. A happy little accident.









  • Tomato soup, yogurt, jello, and any other food that has a very soft consistency that doesn’r require chewing should all be fine after a week or so.

    But if if your dentist/oral surgeon said to limit yourself to the three things you mentioned it is better to stick with their guidance. I haven’t had that many pulled at the same time, but was able to eat the ones I mentioned after a day or two of broth and tomato soup.
