Fun with scale bars! Sweet Greens is showing me that 881 points is more than half of 2500!

#WhyIsMyProgressSlowingDown

A progress bar in a restaurant app showing my progress toward rewards. The background is white. Black text at the top reads, Hi Brad, you have..." Beneath that in much larger black font, it reads "881." Immediately below, there is a progress bar with oval edges (a long horizontal rectangle with rounded corners). My points fill the shape with green, and white dots mark point delineations. The bar continued yes beyond my points as a gray bar with light green dots to mark important numbers. A green box beneath the progress bar reads, " Order to earn. Free Extra Protein is 119 points away!" There is a downward pointing arrow with two text options to view history and to see how it works. The interesting point to me is that the distance between dots on the progress bar is not constant. The markers on the progress bar represent 0, 350, 500, 700, 1000, 1500, and 2500. Ignoring the first jump from 0 to 300, that means the equal space between each pair of dots represents entirely different point values, from 150 to 1000, providing a false sense of progress toward the right (higher numbers).

There's only one reason for the #KMT's ❂ proposal: It's the only way they can win now. 🤔

@kalimbo
If all that is implemented it will be stories that's missing, and if that's in it will be groupcalls, and then it will be something else. So if thats the reason people have to join, you'll always loose. Generally these are pseudo reasons and people just don't want it. Its more about the people you communicate with. If there aren't people, the app doesn't seems worth it. Some on board, suddenly no problem. There weren't all these features in WA recently.

@rick @Alyzande that’s awesome. My wife grew up on #ColecoVision . Our first fight was about Atari vs. ColecoVision. She thought I meant the 2600, but then when I specified the Atari 8-bit computers, she said it wasn’t fair because they were computers and ColecoVision was just a game console. #MovingTheGoalPosts
