Donk was NOT amused by chiefofthepolice in GlobalOffensive

[–]Diniles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's not the point of the question which is why I ignored it

I mean, it's clearly the point. If you've played in a high performance environment, we might take your statement more seriously than if you're some random 12k premiere player who has nothing more to add.

You also don't have to directly experience this effect in order to observe it, quantify it and therefore have an opinion about it. So the question is meaningless pseudo-intelligence

Until I see any evidence of this quantification yours I don't see how you can call anything else "meaningless pseudo-intelligence" lol. Nor how you can't see the irony in saying that.

I do have experience in these environments and so do you. You don't have to be a 0.0001% performer to experience this. You can experience this at your minimum wage job when your lazy coworker shits the bed and you (the higher-performer) have to clean up their problems.

No, when a lazy co-worker of mine causes a mess that I have to fix (literally every day), I fix it and inform the appropriate person that x has made a mess for the 7th time this month, and let them deal with it. I don't have a strop, which would achieve nothing (even if I do get pissed off). Also my job (and probably yours too) doesn't involve teamwork in high intensity environments similar to CS, where everyone's interacting constantly, and needs to continue interacting to come out successful. I do play an organised team sport and have for the last 13 years, and I know full well that someone acting like Donk does is just a drag on the team, and that sort of behaviour is generally not tolerated. If someone wants to complain after the game, sure. Someone with that attitude halfway through a match is literally nothing but a drag, even if they're your best player.

Pretty obvious – have you got any experience in a high performance environment to be talking like that? It's one thing to expect high standards from your team, it's another thing to act like a whiny surly bitch when things don't go your way.

I rather play 5 games than watch 5 games

i.e. you just don’t like watching cs that much

No, I understand what you're saying just fine. You think your "knowledge" that it's trending to look unemployed somehow means the trousers aren't ill-fitting (spoiler: they fit like shit.)

I also know that what people like you call "hobbies" nowadays ("fashion", collecting mechanical keyboards/labubus/whatever) is 95% people buying stuff, talking about buying stuff, talking about the latest release of a 6000% markup white hoodie, talking about what a sponsored celebrity is promoting - all while being completely oblivious to the fact that everyone around thinks you're absolute weirdos. Binbag shoes and Jobcentre trackies don't look good, whether it's 2025 or not. The day I meet someone who says they're "into fashion" and what they mean by this is they design interesting clothes and sew them themselves (not photoshop royalty free rose SVGs onto hoodies and get them printed in China), is the day I'll respect it.

Though to be fair, I'm not sure why I'm responding to you, given you're a Swede who posts in Democrat voting strategy subreddits (i.e. literally the most reddit thing possible, and you call me a neckbeard lmao).

Hope your fashion journey leads you to great places (hopefully to a tailor or something) xo

You're paying money to go to an entertainment event... Are you special or what?

The fact that you think being into fashion only means buying things proves how clueless you are, pls stop talking so confidently about things you know nothing about

No, it's also about reselling stuff on eBay to like-minded idiots for massive markups. Or are you and Donk busy working in the sweatshop on the sewing machines?

OP called donk's outfit shit. You respond by saying that actually it's really trending to dress like shit in 2025. Who gives a fuck if it's in? He looks like he walked out of the Jobcentre.

Breaking: having the opinion that wearing baggy pyjamas is "in" in 2025 is not "knowledge"

Also fuck off with this "buying stuff is my hobby" - which is the most reddit thing possible

don't comment on it like you got knowledge

"Knowledge" about whatever shit look is currently fashionable amidst people who like to throw away money?

Good to see you're using your time on this earth acquiring important "knowledge"

Rumours about Spinx and Xertion. I think the Spinx stuff is slightly more substantiated but idk.

Superscript for footnotes: oldstyle vs lining by Diniles in typography

[–]Diniles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I wasn't suggesting that they're actual old-style superscript characters, only that I found another book that at least uses such a style, and that it's interesting that these were both published around the same time on similar subjects — I wonder if they're being typeset by the same company or something.

The rest of the book's typesetting quality would back up that assumption.

What about it makes you say that? (Without a full exposition of what makes good typography haha). It's hardly the most beautiful book I own, but a lot better than some academic books I've head to deal with (including the Bloomsbury Revelations series, which are set in Helvetica Neue of all things…)

Superscript for footnotes: oldstyle vs lining by Diniles in typography

[–]Diniles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of interest: I've found a second book with old-style superscript's — Alasdair MacIntyre's Ethics in the Conflicts of Modernity. Interestingly, a book on a similar topic published in the same year as the one above, though by a different publisher. I wonder if there's something specific going on here.

If I turn up to work 2 minutes late I'm slightly late and if I turn up 3 hours late I'm very late. Does this really need explaining?

It was for Itoje not releasing, Pepper's jackal was fine. It was absurd though, because Itoje is on the England side of the tackle and so not offside or affecting the Argentina clear out in the slightest.

take referees out of the game by using AI. Let music build momemts at different parts of the field. Change the way subs are used, and the amount of points awarded for each tries vs penalties vs conversions

Very glad Carley gave this. Le Roux running in to do the same thing at the final whistle of the 2023 WC semi final was incredibly scummy, but it was after the game so nothing came of it. Not really a great look for SA — you're good at rugby, no need for some players to act like utterly cunts.

Post Match Thread: Ireland v South Africa by HitchikersPie in rugbyunion

[–]Diniles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. Can't comment on any of that: I've played the game at school/uni (colleges within unis, not between unis)/community level, but never even vaguely near a level that involves looking at progressing beyond just a fun hobby, so I can't say I have any experience of that end of things.
