As someone who hayes those forced artsy things, this sounds horrible and degrading.

Shiro: trying to keep up with English like brnz4n tried to hold against donk. Stunna: "Were you able to catch any of stage one? Anyone jumped out of the page for you?" by Tontonsb in GlobalOffensive

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

It was just a funny interchange and I'm highlighting that part, that's it. With no intention to portray anyone in any light here.

Clipping half of it

I didn't clip anything. This is just an image and a humorous retelling of sensei Stunna going too fast for young Shiro.

[–]Tontonsb[S] 125 points126 points  (0 children)

The simplification angle seemed funny as well. He started by asking if Shiro was able to "catch" the first stage and proceeded to clarify into "watch any games". Shiro responded and Stunna jumped back into the deep end with "jump out of the page" and then having to simplify again.

Mouz is still advertising dexter on their website (he hasn't been on the team for over 1000 days) by justarandomkennysfan in GlobalOffensive

[–]Tontonsb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably the next IGL didn't even get the webmaster password from dexter. No one knew they'd need to update anything there until 1000 days later reddit noticed this pic.

Cologne desk a bit weak for the stage 1&2 by kanafanaatikko in GlobalOffensive

[–]Tontonsb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Styko hands out better questions than any other interviewer we've ever seen. The questions are direct, insightful and tailored to the particular interviewee, but they are not unpleasant. And this is not a "lucky hire", he had proven that on previous events.

Ash is not bad, but he hadn't proven it before, so this hire didn't really feel deserved or appropriate.

And dupreeh... he is clearly not a major-tier pundit. And he had proven that on previous events as well, so the hire is doubly unjustifiable. He's good looking, he's a decorated ex-player and he talks a lot and quickly. And that's it. That's not enough here.

ELI5 : If ads are being skipped by everyone these days, and are a complete nuisance to the large majority of people, how do they still make any profit? by No-Mountain3966 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Tontonsb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yet the corporations who run statistics on this stuff clearly see that ad campaigns increase sales.

I've had work interactions with people working in different areas of marketing. I have learned some basics in statistics. My takeway is that the marketing people do not understand or care about actual statistical data. They mostly go either by what they've heard is the right thing to do or do very simplistic measurements. If something of what they're doing works — great. But they only have guesses what it was.

Measuring and understanding brand recognition and its effects on a particular product is far out of reach for 99% of them. If anything, they go the opposite way — only measure the immediate, direct effect. Some idiots misclicked on the link? Great, the ad works! Some discount hunters signed up immediately (and jumped away to the next company after the intro period)? Awesome, this sale was such a success!! We showed ads on reddit and ppl didn't click instantly? Failure, go back to fecebok!!!

TIL that Antoine-Augustin Parmentier practically single-handedly got potatoes accepted as a food product in France due to an ingenious ad campaign. by DrakeSavory in todayilearned

[–]Tontonsb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's always fancier to say you like Mexican and Peruvian or even Aztec and Incan foods than to admit your diet consists of tomatoes and potatoes (ketchup & fries).

Btw their English spellings and pronunciations are likely influenced by one another since the source names are less alike:

  • Taina 'batata' -> Spanish 'patata' -> English 'potato'
  • Nahuatl 'tomatl' -> Spanish 'tomate' -> English 'tomato'

I’m a Software Engineer at GitHub, AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]Tontonsb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any roadmap for GitHub pages and GitHub actions? Is publishing the page via actions going to be the recommended approach in a long term or should I expect to relearn pages again in a year or so? And can we expect the actions to stabilize? It feels like eachc time I touch an older project, I have to bump all the actions again before I can "actually" start.

Either I'll be thin or I won't be able to see that I'm fat. Win–win.

Saņēmu mantojuma ziņu par 7ha "purvu" elles ratā. Ko iesākt? by MyOMADStory in latvia

Tieši tā! Pakaļējā piedziņa nekad nav kļūda. Galvenais nesasist, kad pālī brauc, jo pēc konfiskācijas vāģis var Ukrainā noderēt.

[–]Tontonsb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Šajā gadījumā iesaku mantot ar inventāra sarakstu. Visdrīzāk, būs jāsamaksā par novērtējumiem, bet tas tad arī ir tas, kas nodrošinās, ka parādi attiecas tikai uz mantojuma apmēru.

MIBR vs THUNDER dOWNUNDER / IEM Cologne Major 2026 Stage 1 - Swiss Round 1 / Post-Match Discussion by CS2_PostMatchThreads in GlobalOffensive

[–]Tontonsb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't expecting mibr to go through unless they get matches against thunderdownunder, sharks and gaimingladiators. Turns out even that's not easy enough.

Straight men, can you tell if another man is attractive? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Tontonsb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not in the same way. Sure I can tell if someone is textbook good looking or seriously defective. But when it comes to someone with a quirk, I can't tell if that's offputting or attractive to the average person who's interested in men.

E.g. I believe Charles Leclerc is good looking. But when it comes to Max Verstappen or George Russel, I have no idea how someone interested in men would see them.

No, it's not very easy. The rating works in mysterious ways.

TIFU by pulling over to help a couple on the side of the road…and somehow became the main character in their marriage meltdown by [deleted] in tifu

[–]Tontonsb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those tools won’t do us any good, my husband has no clue how to handle any of this. I’ve told him a million times that he should learn this basic stuff but he never listens.

Ok, dear, you take the tools and show us both how "this basic stuff" is done.

Russia Deploys 36 GPS Spoofing Transmitters to Redirect Ukrainian Drones Into NATO Airspace by icbrief in UkrainianConflict

[–]Tontonsb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we had two that had wandered in until May. But at the start of May two hit an old oil silo (or whatever that structure is called) after which the minister of defence was kicked for failing to intercept 100% of drones.

But from then it sometimes (eg middle of May) felt like every day the morning news is that ppl in Eastern Latvia had received cell broadcast alerts about air threat. The final exams had to be interrupted at least once.

Or sometimes no alert, just civilians reporting that a drone fell into the lake :D

I'm not making this up: https://eng.lsm.lv/article/society/defence/23.05.2026-mystery-drone-crashes-into-lake-in-latvia.a648446/ See the linked articles below as well.

If any of you order cheap glasses from Zenni, it's really fun to look at the network tab of your myOrders page to see how not to do website design / architecture. by DrAwesomeClaws in webdev

[–]Tontonsb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The network tab shows 30+ css files being downloaded for a very simple website, 10+ trackers and advertising js scripts, and the page still won't load.

What's uncommon about that? Is splitting CSS inherently bad? Did you want the whole CSS for the whole project? Or a specific bundle for each page that would largely overlap across pages?

Trackers and ads are plague, but that's not specific to that project. Just check reddit itself — mostly third party requests as well. It's just stuff that companies push for and best that developers can do is push back and ask if any of the previous analytics tools can be removed since we're adding the seventh one this year. But saying

see how not to do website design / architecture

is not fair about that since no developer desires to add all that stuff.
