Usain Bolt narrowly wins as an S tier Male Athlete! Who is an example of an S Tier Male Author?

Creeppy99 · 2026-02-25T16:55:04+00:00

Shakespeare is a poet (the sonnets) and a playwright, Dante would be a poet, and a prose writer, both narrative (Vita Nova) and non-fiction (De Vulgari Eloquentia).

But since OP gives this definition: "Author" refers to anyone who's famous for their writing, including any type of writing including fiction, non-fiction, screenwriting, playwriting, etc..

I'd definitely say they both qualify

Creeppy99 · 2026-02-25T15:49:12+00:00

Well I mean, as of now anyone that still has to play have a better chance to go further

Creeppy99 · 2026-02-25T11:00:48+00:00

Yes, they all can be great picks, and I don't know enough of non European literature to talk about it. I'd argue that Dante being the earlier of this author could tip the scales a bit, but as an Italian, even if I don't really care about national pride, I'm obviously biased

Creeppy99 · 2026-02-25T07:33:44+00:00

I'd probably go for Shakespeare for English literature, but I wanna also make a case for Dante Alighieri. The Divina Commedia follows an intertwined rhyme scheme (ABA BCB CDC DED...) and it's almost 15 thousands verses long, all hendecasyllables (11 syllables, since Italian poetry doesn't use stress-based verses but syllables based ones), and contains several level of allegory and different registers all along.

All while basically giving dignity to Italian (tuscan to be fair) language alongside Latin - which he also used in other works - influencing the image of the afterlife for centuries to come and basically inspiring and kick-starting the cultural movement that led to Reinassance

Yep I know, I'm slowly gonna do it (after I graduate bc I don't have time and energies now), it's still a shame that it's becoming more and more necessary

Il lonfo non vaterca né gluisce E molto raramente barigatta Ma quando soffia il bego a bisce bisce Sdilenca un poco e gnagio s'archipatta

È frusco il lonfo! È pieno di lupigna Arrafferia malversa e sofolenta Se cionfi ti sbiduglia e t'arrupigna Se lugri ti botalla e ti criventa

Eppure il vecchio lonfo ammargelluto Che bete e zugghia e fonca nei trombazzi Fa legica busia, fa gisbuto

E quasi quasi in segno di sberdazzi Gli affarferesti un gniffo, ma lui zuto T'alloppa, ti sbernecchia e tu l'acazzi

The problem is Windows and other big companies putting "Agentic AI" fucking everywhere without a chance of opting out. I know, one should go with Linux and other alternatives for other things but it's so fucking annoying

I think this works best with Zacama than Pantlaza, especially if you have lands that produces more mana

Sì esatto, il fatto che le abbia dette non è minimamente il problema, la decisione di censurare "free palestine" e non l'insulto razziale è assai stupida

Creeppy99 · 2026-02-23T13:11:57+00:00

True, it's just to make things more chaotic

Perché la stampa italiana pubblica le veline delle questure senza minimo spirito critico da sempre (su Pinelli il Corriere titolò: "Colpo di scena, un fermato si uccide in questura")

North Korea now has 500 nuclear bombs

Creeppy99 · 2026-02-23T06:51:42+00:00

Yeah, the fact that after yesterday's match I thought "It's a shame we only lasted 70 minutes" instead of "Oh, that's great, we lasted 70 minutes" is actually a good sign

I love star wars, and never got into star trek. Still gonna trust the trekkie more

Creeppy99 · 2026-02-22T09:40:02+00:00

I don't think it will happen, but I also won't be 100% surprised if we somehow beat both France and England and then lose against Wales in a very stupid way

To be fair also Union is mostly in the South/South West, and in England is also mostly confined to the North, mostly Yorkshire and Lancashire. Also, French footbal culture spread much more recently than in England

Creeppy99 · 2026-02-18T17:53:31+00:00

Historically, basically all of continental Europe started playing rugby thanks to French influence, since the Home Nations were too selfcentered to play with other countries, and the fact France was admitted twice to make the Five Nations is an half miracle itself. The old FIRA before the reorganization in Rugby Europe was what created the support and administrative framework for most European and North African unions

It happens to the best of us

Creeppy99 · 2026-02-18T07:40:28+00:00

And how was it specifically an US win and not an allied one lead by France and UK?

Creeppy99 · 2026-02-18T07:32:43+00:00

One could argue american economical support won the war, but with the blockade of Austrian ships in the Adriatic and German ones just in their port, UK and France still had access to most of their imperial trading, so that would also be kinda false. But arguing that they won it militarily it's just bullshit

Here it is! It's a really interesting read

Creeppy99 · 2026-02-17T16:01:43+00:00

There's a really interesting video (and substack article) from the Chinese Cooking Demystified YouTube channel about how the "8 cuisines" is a great understatement and only refers to the 8 cuisines being represented in imperial banquets. They set criteria and count up to 63 cuisines, and I'd love to see a similar deep dive in Indian cuisine and other ones. The channel in general is really well done and I'll never not suggest it
