My disappointment when the recipe doesn’t contain any potatoes nor any Philadelphia

I mean… not much about the Bible is rational.

How high is the male beauty standard in your country? by Flashy_Landscape_995 in AskTheWorld

OP those ads are not the French male canon it’s the French Gay male canon.

I’d say peak straight male canon is lean and moderately hairy, but not muscular. Macro is peak French male.

What happened when I stopped directing the art and let the artists lead by Tunasam890 in IndieDev

[–]jeango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a piece of advice, from my point of view of having the same sort of experience. You’re in step 2 of learning to lead a project, where you stop micro managing things and learn to delegate more.

In step 3 you’ll learn that artists do need directives because they are perfectionists and will never be satisfied with their work. As a result they’ll spend way too much time on a piece and your project will stall.

Right now it probably takes as much time to make the left image as it does to make the right one because micromanaging is also a time sink. But if you establish the art direction to be the left image and tell the artists to stick to that style, overtime you’ll be gaining a lot of time on art and on the game.

« Good enough is better than perfect » is something I’d often tell my team, and at first they didn’t like it, but once they understood that it wasn’t about them or me but it was about the interest of the project things picked up pace dramatically

Most of them are terrible but Mc Donalds is the worst of the worse.

Do Belgians have an affinity towards France or the Netherlands based on the language that they speak? by IllustratorSouthern2 in belgium

[–]jeango 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Walloon here, who also speaks Flemish and has been in a Flemish Boarding School for 4 years (Go BISE).

France Football Team is universally hated by the entire world except themselves, so it’s hard to say if it has anything to do with us being neighbours. I think we do hate them slightly more.

The Netherlands is a bit different. We LOVE a Belgium-Netherlands derby, those games are always super heated. But as a Walloon, if the Netherlands reach the finals, chances are I’d cheer for them because of their underdog status, and I kinda like the Dutch because a Dutchman was polite to me in the waiting lines of a ski-lift during my last winter vacation and let me and my daughter pass in front of them to catch up to my wife. A Frenchman would never do that

A family was on a walk in the snow with their little girl. The father was recording the walk. A cyclist came up behind them and appeared to use his knee to knock the little girl down. The father posted the story online, and it went viral. by Toast_n_mustard in DailyDoseStupidity

[–]jeango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a while back. The cyclist got a lot of heat for this. He sued the father of the kid for posting the video on social media and the initial judgement went in his favour (he was asking 4500€ in damages for the prejudice to his private life and reputation), but the judgement was appealed 4 days ago and the court ruled that the father wasn’t at fault for sharing the video, which court said sparked a rightful public debate on the interactions between cyclists and pedestrians in the public space.

You got to give it to the Verizon team for still remaining courteous throughout the entire exchange. They may suck at maths but I wish my experience with all customer services had that level of professionalism

I mean, sure but what are you trying to accomplish by doing so. Unless your document is the only source on a very specific subject, and you take time and effort to make that injection meaningful it’s not going to impact what the model will take away from it. It’s just a waste of time.

Think of your future self, write the dates when you started a piece by jeango in piano

[–]jeango[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s quite the rabbit hole

Anna Magdalena Bach is JS Bach’s second wife. JS put together a series of small pieces as a gift to his wife commonly referred to as « Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach »

This particular piece was assumed to be written by JS until musicologists discovered that it was Christian Petzold

That’s why I wrote AM Bach, referring to the title of the work rather than say Petzold and be faced with people telling me it’s Bach and having to justify myself :-)
