| + | If you are a snowboard fan and enjoy the fast and extreme races, [https://binaryforexacademy.com/joseph-holbrooks-lutazene-review/ Lutazene ] you should probably have a good pair of sunglasses. The sunglasses, which are especially made for snowboarding, are called goggles. They are a necessary accessory for the snowboard equipment. They will ensure you the best protection for the cold and windy conditions in the mountain. They protect from the harmful sun rays and from the reflection of the snow. They also protect your eyes from drying and the cold wind. To enjoy your vacation in the mountain, you should take a good care for your most important sensory organ - your eyes. Snowboarding goggles are an obligatory piece of your sporting equipment. Here we are going to tell you how to choose the best snowboarding goggles for you and how to improve your vision while snowboarding. |

| − | The comic as a whole is making fun of how meta software developers get about the user experience, seeking to name all the different types of interactions a user can have with an app or webpage.
| + | First of all, when you go to the snowboard store, if you already have a helmet or another headgear that you usually wear while snowboarding, when choosing goggles, you should bring it with you because you should try your goggles with it. Also if you are wearing glasses you should make sure that the goggles you choose fit with them. There are different models for that use and they are all called OTG models, which is abbreviated from over the glass. They have extra space, which is especially made to suit your prescribed glasses. Also the store you have chosen should sell goggles that are made only for snowboarding or other ski sports. You should try a couple of snowboarding goggles with your helmet on. |
| − | This comic is massive for me on my desktop (chrome); I wonder if this is a joke about bad UX or if it is a genuine error? [[User:Fwacer|Fwacer]] ([[User talk:Fwacer|talk]]) 18:50, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

| − | :It's not this big on xkcd.com. Did it start this big and got fixed on the original site? Update: replaced with the image from xkcd.com which was much smaller. [[User:Cgrimes85|Cgrimes85]] ([[User talk:Cgrimes85|talk]]) 18:55, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
| + | You should try them the same way that you are going to be snowboarding and they should fit perfectly to your face. Any hole can cause problems because the wind will go through it. Your goggles should have vents in the sides. So check if they do. They are very important because they are letting some air and this way preventing your goggles from fogging. To be sure, that your goggles are not going to fog up, you can ask for goggles that have double lenses. They do not only prevent the fogging, but they protect your eyes better from the low temperatures. However, these doubles lenses are a lot more expensive. You should also choose goggles that have at least 1 scratch resistant coating. They are very durable sunglasses, but should be chosen correctly and you should exploit them right. |

| − | To me, it comes across as a hyperbolic play on the common confusion between the meaning of UI and UX. [https://twitter.com/sdw/status/709853249407361024] [[User:Ahiijny|Ahiijny]] ([[User talk:Ahiijny|talk]]) 19:06, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

| − | It makes sense that it would be alpha and omega, but I originally thought it was the "proportional" symbol. I only ask because alpha is lowercase and omega is uppercase, although perhaps this was to avoid confusion with the Latin "A".

| − | :Concerning the lowercase/uppercase difference, since alpha is the beginning and omega is the end, then consider that in the beginning we are born little and then grow up - we start out as lowercase and end up as uppercase.

| − | Why has Randall chosen this particular set of characters? Why Z? Why alpha and omega - the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, used in the bible quote "i am the alpha and omega" i.e. the beginning and the end, but what link with the subject? Or is it just a sequence of increasingly improbable characters from latin through Greek, then glyphs then unprintable glyphs..?

| − | :UX comes after UI in the alphabet, and so Randall first extended that to the last letter of the Latin alphabet, then Greek. Infinity then also makes sense, but I don't know about the bullet. [[User:Oliphaunt|Oliphaunt]] ([[User talk:Oliphaunt|talk]]) 09:08, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

| − | :Other than being the last letter of the Latin alphabet, I can't come up with any other meaning for "Z" to represent something in psychology. As for the remaining symbols, I think alpha might represent the "a" in actualization or the beginning of the user's awareness or life because alpha represents beginning. Since Omega means the end, this likely represents the end of the user's life, which determines the length of the arc of their life. I believe the infinity symbol is a reference to how time looks to the typical life of a user, since it extends well before and after a user's life. Lastly, I think the black circle might represent a view of morality as either a black hole or a dark subject. This is just my impressions.

| − | My initial thought was that the black circle represents the "black point message" that crashed apps like whatsapp a while ago. I never saw it personally but Tom Scott did a video on it last year. It might be a commentary on how understanding of the universe's moral arc could be considered untouchable/unobtainable.

| − | Hmm. It looks like UY got skipped. The study of the user's motivation and goals. Like UI and UX, it's a real thing. But that's really the job of concept or marketing.

| − | | |
| − | Could the last glyph be referencing a Monad? As in the totality of all things/beings. As time is infinite, yet still contained within the totality of the arc of the moral universe. And then the title text further extending the concept into exploration of what elements were used to shape the totality of things. And further to what was the experience of that shaping. In vein with Leibniz related concepts. - https://www.iep.utm.edu/leib-met/#H5

| − | This is out of context, but the concept behind U[unprintable glyph] (the elements which Randall indicates are used to bend the arc of the moral universe) is shockingly familiar. It's essentially.. fuck, how to describe this.. you know. The thing. Carving out the groove, as it were. Or, er, "altering the course." The Thing. Can't really say it here, can we? Anyway, it makes me think that Randall's likely a practitioner himself. Otherwise, he's come up with the Method independently, which would be astonishing. Anyway, it's right there, every step in the process. Even the Aligning. It's in the correct order, for chrissakes! Somebody Involved should get on this. Even the faintest suggestion of the Method could be enough, if it's left around in the collective subconscious like this, especially because Randall's community is exceptionally likely to host one (or more!!!) people sufficiently bright or crazy to cobble together something functional.
