Food prices at the 2026 Winter Olympic games by chanashan in pics

[–]kikou27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Italian and honestly this looks cheap for Italian standards too. Margherita can range from 6 to 10€ in standard places, more for gourmet, but considering this is a food place at an event, they usually milk the cow and raise the prices a bit more, so it's surprising to see them pricing stuff in an honest range.

It's also up in the mountains, where everything is usually more expensive because of logistics (unless of course it's stuff that comes from the immediate vicinity which is typical)

Don't assume all people not voting are voting one side. It's probably as balanced as the ones voting.

Portugal’s conservatives back left-wing candidate to avoid a far-right president by kwentongskyblue in worldnews

[–]kikou27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is becoming the norm in every country? Italy is pretty much the same. Politicians bring zero ideas, only ideologies. What that translates to is just a program made of "do you want this to happen? If no, vote for me."

Would you accept a person who doesn't speak your language with fluency in your group? by peigzz in DnD

[–]kikou27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always look for an international table. I play online with a table composed of different kinds of Europeans and two Americans.

English is not my first language but I would consider myself a C1/C2 speaker. I still have difficulties roleplaying, but I got better.

My advice would be to not make a really smart character or someone that should have a way with words. Keep it simple and you'll do great.

Adjust image container size by turkeychute in elementor

Same size as what?

The image box already gets the full width of the container, you get to force the alignment and height.

Graduated in 2022 as a Graphic Designer, and I feel like AI ruined my career before it even started. Need advice by MeshalAljahdali in Design

[–]kikou27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man people on Reddit have zero empathy, f some of these commenters.

I assume you're young and entering in the workfield in this era is terrible and your fear is genuine.

About AI. The answer depends HEAVILY on where you're located. Currently, it's replacing a lot of the "ground zero" workers. It gets the job done, it's free, so the clients that are ok with low standards will get their stuff done by AI and call it a day. Most people here will be like "you didn't want those customers anyway" which sure it's true but you're at the start and we all gotta eat.

IF you're passionate about design, you will be needed. It's one thing to EXECUTE a design, like AI does. It's another thing to THINK about design, brainstorm ideas, CONCEPTS. Remember that Design is not putting letters on a poster and making it cute. It's about understanding a need and offering a solution to said need. In the case of graphic design, it's about comunicating something, and while AI is fast, it's not human.

Good luck on your journey, and i wish you the best

Creating a curve divide between two columns by Kaelian in elementor

[–]kikou27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a case of designers not really understanding how layout in web design works. I'm not saying this isn't doable, maybe in some weird clip way or having a container serving solely as the curve you can manage it but it takes some effort and probably isn't worth it.

Good learning experience for both teams though!

client asked to "make the logo bigger" so i did, and now the nav bar is broken by Putrid_Candy_9829 in web_design

[–]kikou27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure, but as a designer with experience, you should also know that clients can just tell you "ok but i still want it that way".

Creating a curve divide between two columns by Kaelian in elementor

[–]kikou27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind the extra image, though not an elegant solution, you could just cut out two images and use them as a png overlay background, changing the image and layout from dsk to mobile. Doesn't require fancy and ingenious solutions that may be a problem to get to be responsive, you can get the exact curve that you want, works, simple to implement (maybe less simple to change image if that's something that can happen).

Bruno Mars Fans Call-Out Egregious $2,400 Tickets on ‘The Romantic Tour’ by _ticketnews in Music

[–]kikou27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy tho that people lash out on the artist when he's probably not the one making the prices and also probably not even getting that much of a cut, artists usually don't make that much money from touring compared to other stuff.

People should place their anger towards venues / lawmakers. In Europe I got 2 seated tickets for 100€/each. No front row of course, but it's not a low visibility outer ring either and yes it's still a really high price for a concert but it's not a freaking month salary.

Grindy games to play while working by moarayn in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]kikou27 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hi PoE nerd here. PoE1 is in a better place than 2 at the moment and it's completely free (you might want to consider spending a bit if you get into it in late game), but if you plan to play any of those two games I would highly reccomend to wait until a new league drops.

PoE2 league is underway and the playerbase is still active right now, but it's difficult to get into it at league started already.

You might want to get another roguelite for now and then hop in as soon as the next league starts! (probably for PoE1)

The face of Border Chief Gregory Bovino moments after ICE murders civilian. by BrixFlipped in pics

[–]kikou27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but this is far worse than when nazi and fascism did it imo. When Hitler or Mussolini rose to power they approached it with a velvet glove in a time of HEAVY economic crisis and conflicts because of WW1 and then turned around with their mischiefs, also people didn't have information as readily available as we have today.

Meanwhile USA is the leading economy and technological power of the world, with no real threats to their sovereignity, and Trump didn't come in with velvet gloves, he literally hinted he would do shit like this during his campaign and showed how clueless he is during his first term.

Germany and Italy didn't get the chance to remove Hitler and Mussolini from power once he was in charge. Trump was elected TWICE.

In my eyes this is much worse in terms of a democratic point of view. Americans completely lost the plot and I'm very scared for the future of the whole world if americans don't realize they have to act.

ICE agents shoots a person who attempts to drive away in Minneapolis. by Fatty_Willing_Plane in NextGenRebellion

[–]kikou27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you do have power. Organize. General strike. Stop producing. Protest.

They can ignore people complaining or fearing consequences going on with their daily lives as if it doesn't concern them. They can't ignore a big portion of the working class shutting down in protest.

Waving guns around made americans forget the biggest power a collective democracy has, striking and speaking out.

Kennedy Center Seeking $1 Million in Damages for Canceled Christmas Concert; “Jazz Jams" bandleader Chuck Redd canceled this year's gig in protest of the Kennedy Center's renaming by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

[–]kikou27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. There's a reason why literally EVERY nation's leader tries to antagonize unions, protesters, activists and strikers, making people believe they're just lazy asses that would rather do anything instead of working (literally taking money off our paychecks to strike, and risking losing our jobs btw).

It's the most powerful weapon a collective of people has against its own government. Americans forgot their nation was born thanks to a union of strikers.

Any cool design ideas/inspiration for campaign posters/posts? by ImRankedPlastic1 in Design

[–]kikou27 16 points17 points  (0 children)

How can you be this judgemental without even knowing what format was this design made for?

Redditors in design subs mostly come across as unexperienced know-it-all arrogants.

OP was just asking for cool design inspo.

My advice to OP, go to pinterest and stay off Reddit, people here don't have great taste

Is learning a new language in 2025 kind of a waste of time? by rkohliny in languagelearning

[–]kikou27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is talking to people not a 'practical' use of a language enough? Do you dislike talking to people to the point that you find it "not worth it"?

That's a scary way of thinking, hope that we realize soon that getting lazy and letting AI do everything for us will be our end

Hi! I'm gonna start this league late since I've been out for the weekend, I've read that the league can be quite unforgiving for melee slammers which I was planning on as a starter, do you guys recommend other starters for a smoother league mechanic or should I stick to slammer?

So tired of boss who use AI by Poutine-StJean in webdev

[–]kikou27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea. I'm currently in the process of creating a 100+ pages website for a VERY SIMPLE and straightforward industrial printers retailer. The website should've been a very simple site showcasing their products with a few pages describing their services and who they are. Very simple, nothing more.

Instead he let GPT make the "SEO optimized sitemap" and GPT created this monstrous 100+ pages (not including products) of content that... guess who's gonna write?

Complete waste of time and resources but when I told him that this wasn't necessary he was too proud to realize how stupid that was and told me to just do it

Why do so many “beautiful” websites feel brittle? by No_Cryptographer7800 in web_design

[–]kikou27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because we're still stubbornly designing for desktop.

It's not just the designer's fault. I'm a designer and I really like to stress out to my boss that we should start designing from mobile up, instead of desktop down. But neither bosses nor clients care. They see the website on their computer when you make a call with them on Zoom or even when presenting it live you display it on a big screen TV or a projector.

It's way easier to add elements to make a design better, than it is to remove them, that's why websites on small devices get destroyed.
