New 4x4 single WR!

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Aah yes, the inevitable objection to someone's post by Stefan. What's the cause this time Stefan?

Seriously? First he implies that Erik didn't already have that record (which is wrong), and then he even calls Erik getting the WR "unbelievable" (which is insulting).

Ugh... nevermind...

 

[Stefan]

I think he didn't mean it that way.

Never said he did. Just tried to make him aware what what he said implies. If *I* insult people unintentionally, I'd rather have it pointed out than continue doing it. Of course maybe Erik himself maybe didn't notice or mind it at all, although I think I did see him reprimand someone at youtube once for congratulating him to "get" WRs he already had.

Ugh, I need to make my points clearer or just stop. I'm sorry for hijacking threads this way. For now, I'll stop for a while.

Finally: Congrats, Erik. Great as usual.

 

[Erik]

haha, all this fuss for nothing If I am already letting myself be annoyed by these minuscule things then I think I'd be annoyed all my life

While that's understandable if you only take that post at face value, note that it is entirely possible that "now" was intended to be "new". This is the poster that whom the whole grammar post was about. Even if it wasn't, one letter is certainly not beyond anyone to mistype.

And I'm don't feel that taking the "unbelievable" as insulting is fair. It's a common colloquial expression that doesn't always imply something is literally "not believable." Rather, it often just means something is amazing.

Either way, I think we both know the kid was certainly trying to be complimentary.

Most importantly, though, congrats Erik on another cubing milestone!

Normally,(Around where I live atleast) unbelievable is a compliment, it's kind of like saying "Wow, I didn't ever expect a time like that."

Where I live, unbelievable means "Wow! I never realized that was even possible! Great job!"

Why would they not get better?

Yeah, same thing pretty much, just I used cubing in my reference.

So "Unbelievable!" is a compliment, but the first part of shoot1510's post still made no sense.

Depends on what it refers to. In his case, he said it's unbelievable that Erik got the WR. The way I quoted unfortunately hid that context, sorry about this confusion.

OK, you're right. Stefan wins this debate once more.

 

[nitrocan]

It's pretty unclear what he was trying to say in that sentence. Maybe he was referring to Erik's solve.

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

I have the reaction (and the last 5 seconds) of Erik's WR on video

What are you waiting for?

We're waiting...

 

[jcuber]

I think shoot's post was just an "I want more posts so I'll post this" kind of thing. Stefan, don't stop pointing out that kind of thing, it usually is very funny.

Cubing - a health risk, kind of hard to believe right now, but I guess it's possible.
