If quitting a job is "performative" what would you consider a "non-performative" act?

Ironically, you are doing your own preaching in your comments. It could even be described as "performative."

Oh God I realized the issue here, I didn't make myself clear:

Talking about doing something on a 4 month old account is not the same as doing it. I give credit to people for doing things, not claiming to do them in an anonymous forum they just joined. Cynical? Perhaps, but maybe if people were just a bit more cynical about believing any text on the internet just because it feels better to believe it, we'd be better off.
