The idea of these dices is pretty incredible (see the example. And see the story about Buffett and Gates). For a hobby that uses a lot of dice, I have never heard of a game that uses dice like this. Would be interesting to see one designed around the concept.

I chose to do so in English because it's easier to find resources, however there are times when my native tongue (Russian) helps a lot more with a certain concept. So fra this has happened with some grammar points from the Dictionary of Basic Grammar, so my notes might be in English but examples and elaborations are in Russian.

The biggest help I receive from Russian is with transitivity of verbs. Turns out Russian has them too, though imo in Russian the distinction between transitive and intransitive is a lot easier and coherent than in Japanese (because you just add a postfix ся to a verb in infinitive form to make it intransitive, in Japanese though... it's pretty much a guessing and memorisation game with some common patterns but they don't work 100% of the time).

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

I've made a bunch of posts at this point, involving evaluating teams based on a stat adapted from Sports Reference called the Simple Rating (or Ranking) System. To summarize the stat in a sentence, it takes a team's goal differential per game, and adds it to the goal differential per game of their opponents.

I've had threads with people, though, who feel that I shouldn't be using goal differential to evaluate teams. So I think it's worth taking a step back and discussing in depth why I do what I do.

The Pros of Goal Differential

• It's pretty simple! In a similar way that game differential is pretty simple; "0.4 goals/game better" is a way to express a team's advantage over another team in a rather concrete way.
• It's a good mixture between being granular ("breaking down" data and getting as much out of it as possible) and being holistic (looking at the big picture). When people try to do subjective analysis, it's hard to keep both at the same time; you're either zooming in on a team's performance in a single series (or not much more than that) and missing the forest for the trees, or you're "zooming out" and looking at e.g. their place in the standings, and perhaps forgetting some details about what produced their position in the standings in the first place.
• It's relatively easy for me to work with. To give you a peek behind the curtain, when I calculate SRS I have a spreadsheet of every team's games. It's relatively easy for me to select a team's games, have the spreadsheet tell me what the average goal differential was (because recording how many goals each team scored isn't that hard, I just take it from Liquipedia), and then put the inverse of that goal differential in for their opponents (for those teams' opponent adjustments).
• It's also (theoretically) easy to do opponent adjustments with. It's intuitive to say that if one team is 1.2 goals/game better than average, and another team is 0.8 goals/game better than average, the first team should win by 0.4 goals/game on average. This doesn't necessarily work for just win percentage, though. It's not necessarily true that when a team with X win percentage meets a tea

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Gender is fluid.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

But let me give it a shot.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

He’s the new temp.

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

Put it on my bill

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

They’re on standbi

BamBOO!

A play on words.

Calcium, nickel, neon

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Pilot on me!!

But I had to break it off with her because she was constantly objectifying me.
