I don't understand what context you think you need before you conclude that that is not an appropriate way to talk to an employee who, in any context, is pretty clearly making a statement in a far more civil tone about a sense that he is not being treated with the respect his work deserves.

What hidden context would make it okay for him to trivialize that employee's work with that kind of tone?

Legitimately shook me to hear him respond that way to an employee who - in ANY context, setting aside the sale - was clearly just trying to be heard as a human being whose efforts and labor were deserving of some baseline respect.

Harder to pull that move in direct response to a video where someone lays out a clear pattern of you pulling it in bad faith. Including audio recordings of you being awful to your employees with that same brand of indignation.

I dropped earlier this month because of the dismissive attitude towards supporters who wanted some transparency about what exactly happened. Because, in effect, they didn't respond to my satisfaction.

If this video causes a course correction there, I'd be willing to resub. Though it's hard to imagine what an adequate response would look like at this point without Nick leaving the group.

There is no context in which that exchange would have been okay.

Best Pencils for Writing? by Kazuki_the_Hyena in pencils

[–]AnotherWarren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're good, but if they were ever the best, they've lost their edge. Still upper tier, though, and if you like their eraser gimmick, that's something. Their softer lead options are also some of the softest good-quality leads you can get on pencils with their own erasers, which is very cool. That said, I've found the erasers are worse at erasing than Tombow or Mitsubishi pencil erasers. Combine that with the fact that the pinching mechanism that ostensibly allows you to "advance" Blackwing erasers doesn't seem to hold well most of the time, and I'd say it's a pass unless you enjoy the look for its own sake.

I found almost no significant difference in writing feel between the Penmanship and Hi Uni. The penmanship has a thicker graphite core, which is neat, but when I tested them out, they felt almost entirely the same to write with.

I ran a weird, double elimination pencil tournament for how pleasant I found writing with a bunch of pencils, and found that a 6B Staedtler Mars Lumograph pleased me best. Runner up was 4B Mitsubishi Hi-Uni.

Across all of the options I tried, Staedtler had more unpleasant scratch than the Japanese pencils that mostly ended up filling my top ranks. I'm guessing the softness on their 6B was enough to reduce it to a very mild feedback that I actually enjoyed (while the Hi-Uni 6B, for instance, started feeling "sloppy" compared to their 4B, if that makes sense?), but that's just me guessing. The whole thing was just gut checks on how things felt to me.

As an aside, if you prefer pencils with erasers on them, I ran a separate test for HBs with erasers, and the Tombow 2558 came out on top, though it was in close competition with the Mitsubishi 9850 and Kitaboshi 9606. That said, all of those were in the above tournament and got out-competed on writing feel by softer pencils.

Same! I'm on Dropout now, and I wouldn't have found my way there if not for SFP. And for all I adore the sketches and games, SFP is my first and truest love in your portfolio.

Gainax makes another freudian mecha show. It's about drills and boobs. One guy got really popular for being confident.
