With the extra flexibility you can improve your finger counting range from 0 - 210-1 to 0 - 310-1. But then thats pretty nerdy again, since normal people use their hands to count to 10 only.
No wait, you can do ternary using one finger joint already. But I'm sure you can figure something out.

Admittedly it's been a long time since Sargon did anything I cared about, apart from try to oppose Article 13, since he mostly has shifted to making fun of people as all of his content, but generally speaking he seems alright.

That was a masterfully crafted lack of a point. And then you linked a video which says in like ten different ways before it gets started that it's only responding to one video of his in a format he never did again where most of the stuff is honest mistakes caused by the video format and this shouldn't reflect on Sargon's content as a whole.
By the way, 'willfully ignorant' and 'colossus shithead' are approximately the same thing. I think you forgot the option 'genuinely don't know what you're talking about'.

The cases where counting on your fingers adds value are few and far between. I prefer a method where you count fingers as 1 and thumbs as 5; this gets you to 99 on two hands. I also know of one where you count your knuckles with your thumbs that gets you to 12 per hand, but I'm not a duodecimalist.

@pie_flavor Interesting.
In recent weeks, the human cost of that success has come into question.
That's one way to put it.
We will weave this change into our cultural DNA and leave no room for sexism or misogyny.
Why list both sexism and misogyny? Isn't one a subset of the other?
The report contained multiple serious allegations. Some sources spoke of low-level hostility and sexism from coworkers who expected their female colleagues to hit an arbitrary standard of being a “hardcore gamer”.
To anyone over 25, an employment standard such as "hardcore gamer" is code for, "Are you so passionate about games that you're willing to work 60-80 hour weeks for extended periods for no extra pay?" And the correct response to this question is "fuck no."
“Not too long into my career one of my male coworkers might have thought he was giving me a compliment when he decided to tell me about how great some of the guys thought my breasts were,” wrote Katie De Sousa, a former senior concept artist at Riot Games. “I had made the foolish mistake of going to a Riot pool party, wearing a swimsuit, and swimming.”
Can someone explain why some women are so touchy about this? If I worked in a majority-female workplace and one of my coworkers commented on how great my wang was, I would be flattered. It's certainly preferable to their saying the opposite.
Yonah Bex Gerber, a former Riot art archivist, also wrote about their experiences with mental health at the company. Gerber is a non-binary trans person, and their account includes the aftermath of coming out as trans while working for Riot. “Whenever I asked for understanding for my mental illness, I was rebuffed. My depression didn’t matter. My dysphoria didn’t matter. I had to perform perfectly, and it was unprofessional to say I couldn’t.”
Well, no shit. You were hired on the expectation that you would Perform. So perform. Or don't, and find a more sympathetic workplace.
Marie’s post shared details of a deeply hostile environment where colleagues threw around slurs and gendered language in everyday conversation, went to strip clubs after work
Why is what your coworkers do after work a concern?
and created a team in which Marie was the only woman entitled “Bros and Ho.”
This is one of those instances where context is important in discerning meaning. It's sort of like how being called a "fag" in an online game is not a statement on one's sexual preferences, but a generic insult. I have a feeling that her coworkers were more commenting on how their team was composed of all guys and one lady rather than insinuating that she was a woman of low moral character.
“Asking me what age I lost my virginity at was deemed appropriate conversation during a team dinner, and employees I didn’t know prodded into how my sex life worked in a long-distance relationship,” she wrote.
Okay, this one is not cool. And I say this after having had girls ask me in eighth grade if I was a virgin. Fortunately, this was long before I would be able to write a Medium piece about the ills of the Matriarchy.
c. No one and nothing is sacred. We are prepared to make big changes and have begun taking action against specific cases, including removal of Rioters, though we aren’t likely to get into those details publicly on a case-by-case basis for legal and privacy reasons.
- Trainings: We’re doubling down on trainings. Trainings that had been specific to managers are being expanded to all Rioters, including interview training and harassment training. We’re also investing in anti-bias training to encourage behaviors that foster a fair and inclusive work environment. In addition, we are investing in management training for all managers to build and support better teams.
Hmm. Will this be like the stuff Damore objected to? Or like Robin DiAngelo's "white fragility" training?
While the initial wave of changes from Riot Games seem to be well-intentioned and promising, the road to sustainable change and a healthy environment will be more of a marathon than a sprint.
No kidding.

That explanation works if and only if the team name is never seen by anybody outside the team.
Another detail you're missing: since the woman who was labelled the "ho" was complaining about it, obviously she wasn't consulted when the name was created in the first place. Don't you think she should have maybe been asked if she thought that team name was ok?

It also amuses me how the guy criticizes Sargon for saying something was a non-issue and yet talking about it in detail, and yet the guy does the same thing by making a 30-minute video about a single Sargon video.

Perhaps. I was given a rather unflattering moniker related to my height during my time in marching band in college, but many other people had similar nicknames and somehow we all survived.

Because one is objectively verifiable without having to go into deep questioning about one's private life. When they, for example, see the 787 Dreamliner-sized bulge in my trousers, they know what's up. Now, asking me at approximately how many "airstrips" it has landed would be prying into my private life.

I was bullied as a kid, and I survived. Yet I also agree we should have less bullying in our society. The fact that bullying didn't literally kill me isn't relevant to my current beliefs whatsoever.

If I was a woman on a team that was even informally called "Bros and Ho(s)", I think I'd probably find it pretty offensive. Not only because "ho" is typically considered offensive, but because it's clearly a reference to the well-known saying, "bros before hos". The fact that they'd base the name off of that quip suggests that they think of the male teammates as more important and/or more competent than the female teammates.

It can be a sensitive topic. I was curious about what landed a friend in one, and he eventually enlightened everyone with a post on the 10th anniversary, which filled in the gaps.
Of course, he'd be hanging out with friends in public and they would intentionally say things like, "Stand up, you lazy motherfucker" just to get reactions out of onlookers.

@anotherusername Unless you work in a brothel, there are no conceivable circumstances in which it would be appropriate to call a coworker a ho.

A lot of the outrageous stories I've heard from Riot from the flatus to the genitalia grabbing could have been cut short by properly punching the relevant parties in the face in self-defense. The promise of being punched in the face in response to battery can be an effective deterrent.

I hope they fire the dickhole who went into a conference room, got up on the table, and farted in people's faces. Why that wasn't a firing on the spot is completely inexcusable.
That's hilarious. Because it didn't happen to me. Instantaneous firing and a beat down is appropriate, though.
A lot of the outrageous stories I've heard from Riot from the flatus to the genitalia grabbing could have been cut short by properly punching the relevant parties in the face in self-defense. The promise of being punched in the face in response to battery can be an effective deterrent.

It reminds me of the shit that happened on the high school baseball bus. Which disqualifies me from the Supreme Court no doubt but isn't the sort of thing I've ever witnessed or even contemplated in a work environment.

One of many grounds for disqualification, I'm sure.

@HardwareGeek I bet he loads the toilet paper so the loose end's closest to the wall instead of closest to the toilet too.
If I were on that committee, you bet your ass I'd ask about that.

Them's fightin' words!

(If you've never played this game: it's real. There is indeed a setting to choose toilet paper orientation, and it actually changes how the toilet paper roll is displayed.)
