the end of year IT exam was the first time I had ever seen Excel

Did you attend class before that?

I didn't recall having missed any lessons, and it seemed like others in the class were equally at a loss to know what was expected.
So either the teacher mistakenly thought he'd given us a lesson on Excel at some point, or we were just supposed to use more initiative than I had at that time. (My computing initiative was spectacularly low!)

Since this is f.ds you should explain the joke to make it funnier

The joke is that Goko's rating system famously couldn't be put in a formula. (until it was put into a formula and it just turned out to be TrueSkill)

when you don't care anymore, grading exams becomes boring af

Surprisingly good watch while having sound off

[silverspawn]

7-0

16-5

69-40

In my defense, I've been sick for a while now. It's hard to be productive.

First/second player stats (which didn't feel to me like they were unfair) are 58/51

[silverspawn]

Still feels like this deck is favored against everything that's popular in the format

[silverspawn]

45-13 as P1, so 24-27 as P2

It's pretty funny to me how Vitalik is just this small scrawny not very good looking guy, but a lvl 1000 titan in the industry and super smart

Like most people, I am a high-functioning sociopath who constantly talks to themselves, much of it repeated thoughts, and only isn't shipped to an asylum because it happens in my head.

but now I have to live in fear that anything I post here may also be a repeat, like it has happened at least once before

It may ease your fear that everything has happened before.

Pretty sure this was the least productive week of the entire year, and the sore throat doesn't seem to want to go away any time soon. I probably should just suck it up and work anyway, but so far no success. Don't feel like I can pull off a proper 1 hour meditation session either

to crown this achievement let's watch the new season of stranger things

[silverspawn]

So this is like the apex of entertainment meant to appeal to everyone

[silverspawn]

The important thing is that all people can be positioned on a binary spectrum from nerdy to sporty

a binary spectrum

I think you have to explain that joke as well.

I think you have to explain that joke as well.

The picture displays Chieftain, a Prismata unit whose illustration visually resembles a tank, with the eyes and the hand from the "thinking" Unicode emote pasted on top of it. This makes it a thinking tank, or a think tank. Normally the term think tank would refer to a research organization with the purpose of creating policy suggestions, but in this case, it refers to a thinking Chieftain, which is an unexpected use of the term and therefore funny. The picture can be used as a funnier substitute for the "thinking" Unicode emote, which can either be used to express legitimate puzzlement or sarcastically to suggest that something about the thing being reacted to is oxymoronic, obvious or otherwise not very well thought-out.

the joke part is clever, but is a binary spectrum an oxymoron? Couldn't you also have a spectrum with more than one axis, which would therefore not be binary?

I don't know if mathematicians use the word binary to refer to anything that relates to the number two, but at least in general usage, it basically means the opposite of a spectrum.

I don't think I understand the point of an epic twist if it relies in an incredibly convoluted backstory that you make up right before revealing the twist. It's ok to just... not have a twist?

But the series was still a lot of fun.

@silver: Do you have any guesses why this happens? https://twitter.com/giannis_daras/status/1531693093040230402

[silverspawn]

No. Would be incredibly interesting if true, but may not be
