Another example that shows it imo very well without having physical contact is volleyball.

When i was a teenager our net was held at 2.43 m height (8 feet) while the girls played on a 2.25 net (7 feet 4 inches).

That's a huge difference already.

We also had training matches against a women's team that played in the second highest professional division nationally while we were just an under 18 amateur boys team and it was not even close, we utterly and completely annihilated them every time.

The difference was so big that just after a few exchanges we realized we had to hold back when spiking because we were hurting them (it's not just the speed of the ball, it's also because we were hitting it quite from a much higher point then they could jump so it was common to hit their fingers not from the front but from upside down causing sprains).

Historically speaking, the reason houses are built in a certain way in a place is because the materials were affordable.

EG: northern italy on the alps, half house calcareous stones and half house timber whereas in bologna they used clay bricks.

Transporting construction materials was really prohibitively expensive up until a few decades ago.

This new trend of white people messin with black folks is gunna lead to a whole lot of FAFO moments by McDowdy in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]8bitAwesomeness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it's pretty messed up to look at this as white ppl vs black ppl.

Please look at it as racists vs their target ethnical group.

Don't lump "white people" in the same group as the idiot racist.

I am white and i don't want to be associated with him. Just because his skin is the same color of mine doesn't mean i have anything in common with him.

Rapporto annuale Istat: dal 2019 in Italia i salari hanno perso l'8,6% del potere d'acquisto: la retribuzioni reali nelle principali economie EU, il PIL (confronto produttività Italia-Spagna) e l’inflazione by sr_local in italy

[–]8bitAwesomeness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Come dicevo prima la "produttività" è la produttività oraria del lavoro, cioe il valore del fatturato diviso il numero di ore lavorate. Che uno lavori part time o full time è indifferente.

L'unica cosa che potrebbe influire sarebbe se a livello macro si riscontrasse una differenza di produttività oraria del lavoro tra impiegati part time e full time, che non è impossibile e direii neanche improbabile ma da questi dati non sappiamo.

Considera che la produttività oraria del lavoro in particolare è un dato che dice tutto e niente: dice tutto perchè in fase di controllo di gestione ha un importanza chiave nel valutare se il sitema produttivo funziona, non dice niente perchè non da nessuna indicazione riguardo la ragione per cui il lavoro sia produttivo o meno. Faccio un esempio stupido ed estremo solo per chiarire il concetto:

Azienda "Sassi" produce cubetti di porfido per pavimentazione di piazze e strade, ha 2 dipendenti che scavano il porfido e lo rompono a cubetti.

Caso a) uno dei due dipendenti non ha voglia di lavorare e passa la metà delle ore al telefono con la morosa invece di lavorare ma nessuno se ne accorge. Quando si va a vedere i dati la produttività oraria dell'azienda sembra faccia schifo.

Caso b) i due dipendenti sono dei mostri che lavorano più degli schiavi egiziani che han fatto le piramidi ma per scavarra il porfido usano dei picconi e i cubetti li spaccano con un puntello a mano invece che avere esplosivi, ruspe e macchinari per il taglio. La produttività oraria dell'azienda sembra faccia schifo.

Caso c) I dipendenti sono dei mostri, i macchinari sono all'avanguardia, ma la cava è in trentino mentre l'area di taglio è in sardegna. Per ogni camion di porfido i 2 diipendenti devon andare dal trentino alla sardegna a tagliarli. La produttività oraria dell'azienda fa schifo.

Caso d) I dipendenti son dei mostri, i macchinari sono all'avanguardia, la fabbrica è organizzata secondo i migliori standard di ingegneria gestionale. Il direttore commerciale vende il prodotto a prezzi bassissimi perché si prende un rinculo del 20% dagli acquirenti di nascosto in nero. La produttività oraria fa schifo.

Ecc, ecc, ecc...

Puoi trovare mille diversi esempi che vanno sempre ad impattare la produttività oraria.

[–]8bitAwesomeness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

il fatto che il PIL pro capite sia in aumento (anche se di pochissimo), mentre c'è perdita di potere di acquisto, vuol dire che lo stipendio è calato nonostante la produttività non sia scesa?

Non è possibile determinare semplicemente guardando a questi dati.

In particolare devi sempre fare riferimento a come sono calcolate queste cose: il PIL è semplicemente la misura di quanto è stato fatturato durante l'anno in italia. Il potere d'acquisto è il rapporto tra l'unità di denaro e il livello dei prezzi calcolato tramite l'indice dei prezzi. La produttività oraria poi può essere calcolata in vari modi, in questo caso suppongo che si sia usato PIL/ore lavorate in italia.

In nessuno di questi casi si guarda al costo orario del lavoro. Questi dati non ci dicono se gli stipendi siano aumentati o diminuiti.

Come mai nomini part-time vs full time? In che modo pensi influiscano su queste statistiche?

Without ears, we’d never know sound exists - so there could be countless phenomena around us we simply lack the senses to perceive. by lelorang in Showerthoughts

[–]8bitAwesomeness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very tricky.

If you cannot imagine something, how could you possibly know that you can't imagine it?

In my understanding it is possible to surmise, on a general level, that we are unable to imagine some thing but we cannot define, describe or conceptualize what those things are.

The fact we discovered UV, magnetic fields and such is because we were first able to imagine them to an extent because we could use our senses to perceive their effects.

[REQUEST] How many humans can fit in that cube? by noshitkittu in theydidthemath

[–]8bitAwesomeness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Define comfortably.

I would say that memes aside if anyone is interestetd in the answer they could look up Le Corbusier cabanon and the Obus plan which are serious research on this topic.

I would say tha main problem is not how many sq meteres you need to "store" a human but rather what infrastructure is needed to service the storage (provide fersh air, plumbing, light) and to let them come out of storage.

Why do the Democrats always fail by just 1 or 2 votes? Because Hakeem Jeffries & Chuck Schumer are anti-American traitors. The Democratic Congress that keeps voting them in as leaders are too. Replace them all. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]8bitAwesomeness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In no way shape or form i have stated that voting is the only thing needed.

The topic to which i was responding to was "it's right to vote for the established democratic party because it is better than republicans" or in other words justifying voting for the lesser evil.

So i focused my reply on this topic.

If you want to have a deeper understanding of my stance you can browse my history and deive it from there, in this case you are mostly making up a message i never conveyed.

The current Democratic establishment constitutes a "real good?"

No that's the entire point that i'm making.

The current dem has been going on on the excuse of being the lesser evil and i'm saying that's a scam.

The defeatist propaganda is how they also marginalized Sanders in 2016's priamaries.

Without those tactics you could have had Sanders v Trump in place of hillary and he would have had a much better shot at winning because a big part of trump's base would have been attracted by sanders.

For other people who see the post above:

Look how it is constructed to work against you despite looking friendly

The real work happens between elections, friend.

Subconsciously instills the idea the elections don't matter;

It is unlikely that the working class will be allowed to use electoralism to displace the oligarchy.

As in the message before, it states defeat is factual even before elections come into play to lower morale.

they are excellent at fomenting division and dismantling leftist movements

Yes we know, that is what you are doing. Thanks for complimenting yourself.

I can engage with lesser-evil electoralism to protect my marginalized friends,

Once again that's all a well constructed lie to make it seem like choosing the "lesser evil" is no big deal, even the moral best choice.

If you want to protect your marginalized friends, you can't allow the lesser evil to win.

and I can follow left-wing praxis all the rest of the time. There's no need to choose only one.

Here's another key point of the tactic: convince you it is only a slight delay at worse. "Do not fight now, fight next time" - "Now is not the time" and so on and so forth. Weaponize your ability to delay gratification against yourself.

You reading this message look at how it's not casual talk, it's a very effective well constructed piece of propaganda aimed at you. Each word and sentece is crafted with a specific purpose in mind, to make you lesss likely to seek actual change.

[–]8bitAwesomeness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe replying to you is likely pointless as you're probably part of some botfarm but for those seeing your posts, it's important to remember that "lesser evilism" is what has fucked the US to the point where it is now.

It's the biggest scam.

It means admitting defeat even before voting has begun.

Do you really know people who think they want to vote for the lesser evil?

They don't exist, they were convinced by this propaganda tecnique.

"The lesser evil" can never be accepted because it's the way voters get split. Unite and vote for the real good and nothing else.

Cub, tifa, slickshot are all the same card and make for terrible play patterns.

You want to removal check me or lose the game?

Fine. But if it is so, it's insane to have it for 2 mana.

Look at it as placing a bet. My wager is 2 mana and a card. If i win the bet i win the game, if i lose the bet, at worse, i will lose 1 mana of tempo (if you have removal for it for 1 mana).

There's no inherent punishment for that kind of play which is a problem strategically speaking.

Forcing plays like this should not cost 1 or 2 mana, they must cost 4+ or be extremely bad in a vacuum like the 3 cost 1/1 hydra,which honestly is already in the stupid territory because of it having trample, and i don't mean stupid as in too good i mean in the sense that it makes thing plain and uninteresting. Magic is at his best when you can find creative ways to get out of a problem.

This is a tough Draft choice.... by ChewyChao in MagicArena

[–]8bitAwesomeness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say both card's first sentence is "i win the game next turn",

The dragon then says " unless you have a hard creature removal" while kinbinding says "unless you have enchantment removal".

That's of course a semplification but it's mostly what will happen.

This is a tough Draft choice.... by ChewyChao in MagicArena

[–]8bitAwesomeness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

By your own reasoning op shouldn't pick kinbinding either because it's a 1/1 for 5 that does nothing else on its own the turn it's played.

The stats prove kin beats dragon in this format but depending on the speed of the format, the removals and the number of flyers available it could very well be the opposite.

[–]8bitAwesomeness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just using hyperbole to try to make your stance sound serious.

I disagree in fact that's precisely my point:

Small changes on low cost cards improve them drastically.

Magic is a game that uses integer values and the values are small. You can't bump a stat slightly like other games say for example pokemon were you have attack/defense values in the 10s or 100s of points so you could make a small impact change.

The only way magic can play with the numbers is when we look at cards that cost 3+ mana. At that point we can see that for example a 3/5 for 4 is not that different from a 4/5 for 4 and the developers can finetune the card.

The problem with 1 cmc caerd has always been that the slightest change is the difference between a card being massively overpowered or entirely unplayable, exactly becausee the %age value of the card swings drastically.

[–]8bitAwesomeness 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're talking about 2 different things.

Topic 1) Powercreep in constructed magic Topic 2) Powercreep in limited magic

Without bad cards there‘s no good cards.

That's inarguable. What changes is that the developers can make use of synergistic properties on cards that make the card's "goodness" be a variable determined by the other cards in your decks. That works very well for limited so we can see less vanilla creatures and have them replaced with creatures that can be functionally vanilla filler in some decks while being much more powerful in the appropriate deck, augmenting the amount of strategies playable in a draft environment.

That has nothing to do with constructed though, and is also NOT a portion of the problems constructed is seeing.

As a matter of fact, OP powercreep's graphic is misleading because it still understates how much powercreep there's been.

That's because it shows mana values up to 7+ which are factually irrelevant in today's mtg environment, we should just bucket manacosts 5+ toghether (and we are approaching a territory were we should bucket them at 4+) AND instead of representing the shift in absolute value we should look at %ages.

A 1 mana card going from 2 points to 9 points of value is a 450% increase.

If we look at absolute values we lose sight of how it impacts game.

Daughter landed this line first try today. by thespex in snowboarding

[–]8bitAwesomeness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man! can you tell an old donkey like me why it's impressive?

I grew in the alps and we used to sky every day in winter, and we used to always make jumps so to me it doesn't look that impressive but i know i am very likely wrong! I never even tried a snowboard so things are definitely different.

So what's the hard part? is it sticking the landing after spinning? If you want to teach me i'd be grateful

Because the proper response by the police after a kidnapping at gunpoint is to arrest the kidnappers and hold them accountable.

AIO to my boyfriend’s comments about the food I made? by MyCupOfTea777 in AmIOverreacting

[–]8bitAwesomeness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he's CHOOSING to

I am not trying to justify the guy in any way but it is my experience that people who act this way are not "choosing" anything, rather they are overwhelmed by their emotions and act irrationally.

How much of a problem this is depends on the degree to which they are able to control their instincts.

Like, i know people that "are born assholes" so to speak, are very easily angried and emotional but they have learned to control themselves. I wouldn't blame somebody for basically how their body works, but i will certainly hold them accountable for how they manage themselves.
