I had the fortune of analyzing a poem called The Second Coming by the one named Yeats today in English. I'd like to share it with all of you because of how amazing I think it is.

I won't give away any spoilers, so I'll leave the thread at a generic "discuss."

Even without the context, it's still a poem filled with profound imagery.

You mean you're upset that you posted obscure-ish literature in hopes that people would read and enjoy it, but they didn't? Honestly I post things on SEN that I consider to be of the utmost brilliance but when nobody cares I let it go.

I suggest you learn to do the same.

-It's not "obsure-ish," it's a "major work of Modernist poetry" and a part of English canon.
-I'm not upset that they didn't enjoy it, I'm rather more upset that they decide to troll me instead.
-Sorry, but I posted this with its importance in English literature considered.
-I suggest you learn to be less of a pussy and keep trying.
-????
-lol

It's one of the most famous poems in English literature. Of course it is great. I also understand you were just mad at people trolling. But if you want this to be an interesting topic of any substance you should offer some of your own thoughts and interpretations first. Otherwise it's too hard for anyone else to find a way into the conversation.

If this was never written, and written today, nobody would give it a second look.

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition

Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation

NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
