Recording my reaction to the new system: I looked back at the comment and saw it got a downvote on agreement and got that small twinge of negative affect that I sometimes get from seeing a downvote on my own comment, then realized it probably just means that person doesn’t have the same bug, and it passed. It would be interesting to see if this instinct changes after some time getting used to this system.

I try to imagine the two numbers as parts of a complex number, like “37+8i”.
From that perspective, both “37+8i” and “37-8i” feel positive.
