Altruism score?
17In a post recently, a couple people mentioned that they look at their meh profile page often. So I was checking mine out and was wondering about the altruism score. What kind of a range is that based on? Is that out of one hundred? Or say, on a ranking of 1 to 4, or 1 to 5, something like that. I am curious.
By the way this is my very first “topic created”. Fun.

In other words, if you rarely talk, but give a lot of stars, then your score will be really high. If you’re like @f00l, you can talk a lot, give a lot of stars and still have a high score.
@shawn wth. That looks like math and makes my brain want to cry. No.
@moonhat @shawn Which is why the math is done for you!
@RiotDemon @moonhat Yep, @f00l is a talking f00l and she throws those stars with real panache.
@Barney @f00l @moonhat @RiotDemon
I’ve successfully lowered my score by hunting down stars which I’ve given.
@PlacidPenguin You can have all of the ones you gave me. I really don’t need any penguin droppings.
@Barney
I’d sooner find out your address and send you penguin droppings.
@PlacidPenguin Ha! Good luck with that.
@Barney
Actually, @DJ_Purchache gave me inspiration into what I should call the boxes I send out.
Hint: The answer can be found here.
@PlacidPenguin Dammit, now I have the Wicked Witch theme song stuck in my head.
@PlacidPenguin @rtjhnstn I don’t.
@Barney @rtjhnstn @mfladd
Who was talking about @KittySprinkles?
@PlacidPenguin Thanks for reminding me that I still need to post.
@narfcake
You could always not post.
@PlacidPenguin And I could always not wear a catshirt. What are the odds of that?
@narfcake
Well, first do a calculation of how many shirts you own.
Then figure out how many shirts are not cat related.
Then do the math.
@Barney @f00l @RiotDemon @f00l I always imagined you were male! Crazy.
@PlacidPenguin 80+% are not catshirts.
Today’s shirt is this:

Must Like Cats
Price: $19.00
Condition: Probably New
(I’ve actually been wearing @jasneko catshirts all week. )
@PlacidPenguin @rtjhnstn how does the wicked witch song go?
@moonhat @rtjhnstn
@shawn Wait. What happens if someone who has never created, commented, or replied decides to like a post for devious underhanded reasons that I can’t possibly think of offhand?
DIVISION BY ZERO.
And then the forums turn into a black hole.
@TheFLP The forum already is a black hole.
@Barney But that would … that would …
We’re trapped in a place that not even purple can escape!
@Barney @TheFLP @jbartus
Which is why I use this on my Chromebook.
Of course though, Stylish was pulled by Google, Mozilla, and Opera, in July for tracking all website visits.
Instead, you can use Stylus, which is based off of Stylish.
@Barney @jbartus @PlacidPenguin I use Stylus to hide the ex-VMP badges of shame.
@Barney @jbartus @PlacidPenguin
Holy crap that’s a lot of purple!
You are incorrigible @PlacidPenguin (and, yes, I’m still using it.)
@FLP Yep, it’s pretty purple, isn’t it?
@Barney
I consider myself .
Google interprets that as angelic, while the emoji language which Meh uses, interprets it as innocent.
@Barney @PlacidPenguin I bit too much purple for me, I have to confess. Also, light text on dark gives me headaches. But very pretty.
Reminds me of one of my coworkers, who has her desktop set to an eyeball-lacerating shade of magenta. (She likes pink.)
@PlacidPenguin @TheFLP Very few people are able to know the true purple. The purple is with me.
@Barney @PlacidPenguin @TheFLP

@Cerridwyn You are not of the purple Body?
@Barney
sorry Barney, m’ladd

But for me the color is red
I got very curious, and actually unblocked my profile long enough to look for what my altruism score was.
Weird. It also notes that I vote up my own posts (including this one). Yep. Every single time. I’m just that kind of strange.
@Shrdlu
My score is approx 0.1 of yours.
Oh dear.
/giphy “not worthy”
@Shrdlu so many stars! Here, have some!
/giphy stars
Meh altruism is very meh
