You’re joking, but it actually is a popular theory in chess that a complete noob potentially can beat a master by confusing them - as the noob doesn’t know what they’re doing the master is unable to recognize which of valid strategies they’re pursuing and cannot deploy proper counterstrategy.
Chessmasters when their opponent doesn’t make one of the five approved optimal opening moves:
I’m currently a fencing coach for a high school club and my least disciplined fencer routinely beats kids who have been fencing for 5-6 years because he’s just so unpredictable and messy that his opponents have no idea what to do.
I know what a master is doing, I just may not be faster than them. I know I’m faster than a newbie but hey what the fuck is happening?
I have, on rare occasions, won pokemon battles like this. I have no idea what the meta is, and just slap things together that sound cool. It’s fun when you win by taking someone completely off guard because “Who would run that?!” Idk man, the noob that just kicked your ass. I’m not smart enough for all these mind games that go into serious competitive pokemon, but I do know big laser go pew.
The Newbie Flail™ is the most terrifying attack imaginable.
“The best swordsman on the planet doesn’t fear the second-best swordsman. He fears the new swordsman, because he has no idea what the lunatic will do.”
I don’t know if it’s the depression speaking but these days I find it incredibly hard to enjoy anything about the Internet.
Literally every website has become a thousand times more inconvenient, bloated with promoted or recommended shit, stupid UI/UX changes pushed by out of touch billionaires.
The tipping point this week was Google changing the regular “Web - Images - Videos - Etc.” tabs with fucking stupid ever-changing search suggestions, making the site a thousand times less accessible and so much more annoying to use
I’m tired. I want forums back. I want ugly html pages that give useful information back. I want to connect with other Internet users in a meaningful way again. Fuck modern corporate UI design. Fuck social media. I want out.
As sketchy as the oceangate submarine was… you can bet your ass every single one of musky’s endeavors would look just as sketchy if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s forced to work with government regulators.
Hell, most of his projects are this sketchy if you look a bit closer. For example: the tesla tunnels.
No fire suppression system, no emergency exits, no emergency lighting, no way for EMS to get through, no fucking nothing. I am pretty sure it’s not even big enough to open the car’s doors.
Or the Cybertruck that’s a deathtrap for both the people on the outside and the people on the inside because it utterly disregards the last 50 or so years of advancements in car safety technology such as crumple zones or safety glass
Or the tesla model 3 where you can’t even open the back doors without power. So if you’re in an accident and lose power… good luck getting your kids out of the back, especially when the huge battery is turning into a huge, unextinguishable flamethrower.
Or the fucking starship launchpad that was utterly destroyed by the rocket and threw huge concrete chunks and other debris around for miles… which, incidentally, also destroyed the rocket.
That’s what all these self-proclaimed Silicon Valley tech bro geniuses are like.
They all think they know better than everyone else, and that rules or consequences don’t apply to them, and they see safety as little more than an afterthought.
It’s why Ai and social media algorithms are used sooooo ethically. It’s why amazon and facebook try to find out everything about you and happily sell that data with no disregard for what it could be used for.
It’s about damn time one of these CEO dipshits got killed by their own dipshitery, I just wish it had been musk or bezos instead…
