hey where can i figure out if a folk song is like. a traditional folk song or a more modern thing? (for context, the song is "the liar" which i'm only familiar with through tommy makem but it feels much older than that)

ransomtime

For English folk, it might be the roud index.

Don't know if there's a resource that searches in general though

Archives of the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library, the free folk arts resource from the English Folk Dance and Song Society

I've been thinking so much about this problem. some number of months or years from now when I make the hmsmgat3 survey, it will be a problem that a certain percentage of people will not read the instructions. and I need to do what I can to minimize that percentage.

and like what I believe is a major source of the problem is that many people stop reading instructions as soon as they think they know what's expected of them. and I'm not actually sure a video would help very much!

would someone in the 45% "oh we're making a bell curve okay I can skip the short paragraph directly above the poll then that surely won't contain any relevant information" demographic watch an entire video just so they know what format I expect for a survey question, or would they watch enough of the video to get to the point where they think they know what's expected of them and then fill out the survey incorrectly?

how do I convey how extremely important it is to actually read and follow the instructions without coming across as condescending or scaring people away with how many paragraphs they have to read?

I guess I have some time to figure this stuff out. but this is such a hard problem

janmisali

like, okay. here's the specific tangible problem I have.

I want to eventually make a survey where people tell me directly in an open answer question what games they think the mainline super mario series consists of. to get useful data out of that, I need the answers to be well formatted.

specifically, I need it to be obvious and unignorable that:

I expect the items of the list to be separated by line breaks, not commas (some video game titles have commas in them so I can't automate the process of turning their list into data if they use commas)

the participant should not write anything in their response that is not part of their list

neither of these are things that are impossible to fix if someone doesn't follow the instructions, but they can't be fixed automatically. I'd need to manually clean up the responses or pay someone else to do it or (worst option!) cross my fingers and hope google gemini isn't hallucinating if I give it my data to clean up.

and if it's a survey that gets thousands of responses, 5% of people missing the instructions is still potentially hundreds of responses I need to either clean up or discard. and yes I would rather clean them up than discard them

popittart

oh, now i think this could maybe helped in some manner by use of redundant eye-catching pictographic instructions? Like this dumb mockup

janmisali

I agree that showing visual examples of correctly and incorrectly formatted responses would help but oh boy it needs to be so obvious which one is the correct one! like with this mockup someone might see the wrong example immediately under the text "format your list like so" and assume the wrong example is the correct example. and this will be made harder by the fact that I'm planning on releasing the survey in multiple languages. so good idea but this is still hard

ransomtime

This is a really hard problem to solve, user research has shown, time and time again, that people will ignore instructions. Especially if it's more than a sentence of text.

My issue with the above example is that it provides a negative example at all. Which some amount of people will follow no matter how much you say not to. Also - if it's an image it means it's not screen-reader accessible, and you'd need to create a new graphic for each language.

My first instinct for this would be to include an example in the section header (but to not bias the responses to those games, have the example be for a different question).

But then, you will get some number of users, either on purpose to be funny, or by mistake, answer the question in the example, so you'd have to to remove all the Lord of The Rings books from the dataset.

If this still doesn't work, maybe a follow-up question asking them if they did this? But this is hella obnoxious

Ideally, Google forms would have a pattern that you type a game, and then press "add to list" or something, and it builds up a list of games above that element, but unless I'm missing it, it doesn't.

It'd also be nice if Google forms let you have the long answer questions automatically start with a larger input, as users are used to a single line text input to not expand, and a multi-line text input to start expanded, but both of these are platform issues.

Sherlock Holmes having a universal ace experience -- expressing disinterest and immediately getting called an inhuman robot.

#images#sherlock holmes#sorry i don't turn rabid and marry the prettiest girl in sight at the push of a button my dear watson

Watson is like "of course I proposed marriage to a girl I met two days ago, I'm normal and make rational decisions"

derinthescarletpescatarian

#I read this part just the other day#He literally proposes within two days it’s crazy

Every Sherlock Holmes remake that tries to make Watson the straight man does him a great injustice. Mfer is a total madlad. Everyone's like "oh he's not addicted to hard drugs and doesn't do chemistry experiments in his bedroom for fun" there are subtler ways to be completely unhinged.

elf-kid2

The thing is, Watson may or may not instigate the Situations & Shenanigans, but he voluntarily spends most of his Sherlock Holmes, who DOES!

““Normal”“ people do not do that.

derinthescarletpescatarian

Watson will show up at Holmes' place and be like "are you doing any investigations of super weird shit today" and Holmes will be like "yes I am cornering this dangerous mass murderer, you should come and bring your gun in case anyone tries to shoot us" and Watson will do it without question, thinking "I'm so glad he's got something wholesome to distract himself with so he doesn't take more cocaine".

I thought this was a weird Sherlock fanfic but I fear I am slowly realising that this is in fact likely the actual book and I don't know how to process that information

Yeah this is actual Doyle-written Sherlock Holmes

being nonbinary and a fan of non-human creatures isn’t easy. like i’m constantly struggling with the fact that i’m both like “i wish there was more enby representation in humans” and “i’m the same gender as mewtwo and that fucking rips”

ckret2

the tension between “representing NBs only as nonhuman characters is dehumanizing and othering” and “but monsters, aliens, and robots are so much cooler than humans”

You gotta make up your mind. I don't want you flip-flopping on this issue.

aturinfortheworse

im also a little bit extremely angry about the assumption - by my family or doctors or the government or whatever - that my number one priority wrt to my health would be anything other than "feel as good as possible"

it feels almost transgressive to say like "actually, if working isn't going to contribute to my quality of life, I don't care about it" and "The only reason I would want to reduce my amount of medication is if it's impacting my quality of life."

my neurologist said in our first appt like "obviously we want you to be on as few medications as possible" and i did not succeed in mentioning that, actually, i will take 50 pills every day for the rest of my life if it means i get to feel okay most of the time.

like i don't even really care about being healthy. "being as healthy as possible" is not my #1 priority. my #1 priority is feeling good, followed closely by being able to do things i want to do. 'taking fewer pills' and 'exercising' don't even make the list. those are not ends, those are means.

hell yes - and this reminds me of the blistering ableism behind medical professionals calling someone "drug-seeking" who is, in fact, pain-relief seeking

I've seen this a lot in conversations with people with type 2. Like they'll say "my doctor says that my ac1 is getting better so they think I can go down on metformin".

why would you stop an intervention that's working well?
