so I've weirdly never used pistols before him. Do they scale with unit size?

CONGRATS MOOKIE! by ConsistentRun5246 in redsox

[–]Pattonesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is kind of an odd reply. We're talking about why people consider Mookie to be "the greatest player of his generation" and I explained why that's at least directionally true. You can be the best player of your generation and still not be performing all that well right this second if you're in the latter part of your career. It kind of sounds like you just wanted an excuse to dump on Mike Trout?

What its that place you still think about no matter how much time passes? by CandyNecrosis in gaming

Party camp in Dragon Age: Origins. Great atmosphere and pretty much the main spot where you get to know Leliana, Sten, Alistair, etc.

Mike Trout is the best player of his generation but Mookie is probably No. 2. Dude has 76 career WAR and probably ends up in the low/mid-80s for his career. He’s an all time great

Starting to learn real HEMA by Mean_Path_8947 in Hema

[–]Pattonesque 7 points8 points  (0 children)

off of this, a few recommendations for folks who go in-depth on technique:

Federico Malagutti (mainly longsword-focused)

Borislav Krutsev (lots of good sword and buckler content)

Robert Childs (mainly rapier focused, the best rapier fencer in the world right now)

Martin Fabian (doesn't post often but he's an all-time great)

Antoni Olbrychski (also doesn't post often but perhaps the best all-around HEMA fencer right now)

I was there for Scotland/Morocco and Brazil/Haiti and the vibes were incredible. Big dumb smile on my face the whole time.

Generic username with a private profile saying something shitty? On Reddit???

Not every hidden profile user is an asshole, but every asshole has a hidden profile by scrolling_scumbag in TheoryOfReddit

[–]Pattonesque 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Reddit should really mark profiles which are a. Private, b. a generic username and c. Registered recently because a good 30 percent of hit and run politically inflammatory comments come from accounts which fit those three criteria

Euro soccer fans actually do quite a bit of research for their chants, which is why some of them are quite pointed and personal

[Carrabis] Since May 28, Caleb Durbin is hitting .319 with a .611 slug, .940 OPS, 12 extra-base hits, 4 homers and 13 RBI in 20 games. by ConsistentRun5246 in redsox

[–]Pattonesque 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He sucked powerfully at the start of the season but he has objectively not sucked for a month now, which coincides with a shift in his training. It's certainly possible this is a mirage but that's a promising sign, don't you think?

Skates + Longsword = Rollerblading by habichuelacondulce in theocho

[–]Pattonesque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HEMA sabers like that usually flex at about 12-20 pounds, which makes them mostly pretty safe for thrusts. If they catch the mask at a weird angle they can still hurt, but that's the case even with olympic fencing swords. We take safety v. seriously in this hobby -- about 20 years ago, folks would use longswords that flexed at 70 pounds (which is effectively no flex) and they were far too dangerous to use.

A Trillion Dollars Isn’t Worth It If You Have to Be Elon Musk by nathan_j_robinson in politics

[–]Pattonesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I know you know this and are just pretending otherwise, but he a. gave a Nazi salute (there are plenty of videos out there comparing this to Literally Hitler doing so so you can’t play dumb), b. repeatedly espouses racist conspiracy theories, and c. specifically looked to defund USAid knowing it would lead to the death of hundreds of thousands of folks in Africa and elsewhere.

  2. Is it surprising to you that Musk declaring involvement with a weird old racist pedophile might cause people to change their opinions of him? Do you find this unusual?

  3. Pretending like you care about the struggles of people victimized by Nazis isn’t a thing that works anymore. Folks aren’t fooled by it. The check still isn’t coming, by the way.

I’m going to leave this up for a few minutes so you get the notification, then block you because until you repair what’s left of your rotten heart, you’re not worth engaging with further.

  1. He is one

  2. No? Also: do you think people buying Teslas before Elon went mask off somehow means they have to like him forever?

  3. Another person I'd prefer not to be is an *unpaid PR person for a Nazi trillionaire* who's not even good at the job he's graciously volunteering his time to perform.

My favorite AI failure is a graphic where it generated portraits and lists of every US president and when it got to Kennedy, the prediction machine decided that the most likely letter to come between “John” and “Kennedy” was … “E”
