Hello everyone, I am writing this blog to congratulate myself on my amazing accomplishment. After 3 long years I have managed to attain the gorgos, amethyst, emerald, aquamarine, lapis lazuli tpye of shade of name: CYAN
It took a lot of work. I had to do a lot of special exercise such as: hitting head against wall, rock smashing, coal minig, anime, glue huffing and other exercise to achieve this amazing feat once again but I finally did it.
I would like to thank myself firstly, my family, the beatiful state of Berland, America, Mark Zuckerberg and of course my dear friends Mrkimedo azatega
My next goal is to reach an even more beatiful colour: green. However that might be unrealistic for me as I do not have the time to practice for such things.
I am definitely scared now!
What is wrong with you :( ?
Congratulations for reaching specialist! Wait, what the?
Wish you pleasure in your journey to Unrated!
Are you currently in Australia bro ?
I share a similar fate comrade.
congrats bro, pupil next :pray:
Why are you thanking robbers who are committing genocide and taking innocent people's lives?
I genuinely don't understand how anyone can see children, women, and other civilians being killed and still choose to thank those responsible. It's heartbreaking.
Bold of you to assume that part wasn't a joke, given the other bullshit he "thanks". It's a bad joke, yes, but it's not as bad as being serious.
Joke? I don't think so.
Would it be acceptable if I made jokes while thanking Hitler, Stalin, or Ratko Mladić?
"Joke? I don't think so." Why so? I mean, dark humor exists. It's when you say something bad (but not discriminatory) as a joke, not actually thinking so. Ex. "Another 1 billion $ to Israel". You ever heard of that? Maybe OP is using that technique? If you can't handle dark humor, then why are you even in the cursed space we call the internet?
"Would it be acceptable if I made jokes while thanking Hitler, Stalin, or Ratko Mladić?" Joking ABOUT thanking somebody and joking WHILE thanking somebody are two different things. OP was doing the first, you are talking about the second. The first just isn't cool, while the second should get the one doing it banished.
Okay, I appreciate the explanation. I'll read more about dark humor.
GPT Resopnse: My point still stands, though. I understand the distinction you're making between "joking about thanking" and "joking while thanking." The problem is that the wording still publicly expresses thanks to someone responsible for mass atrocities. If I posted "Thanks, Hitler" and later said it was just dark humor, many people would still reasonably interpret it as praise rather than satire.
Intent matters, but so does how the message is likely to be understood.
Codeforces is a global platform with people from many countries, cultures, and backgrounds. Not everyone shares the same understanding of dark humor or the same cultural context. A joke that seems obviously ironic to one person may come across as genuine support for atrocities to another. That's why I think it's better to avoid this kind of wording in the first place.
The fact that you couldn't even come up with a response and had to ask Big GPT to write it for you proves my point even further. This whole paragraph is just "Some people are dumbasses and can't understand a joke, but they're right and the ones making the joke shouldn't be making jokes."
I am sorry if I offended you or anyone else. I originally wrote it as a joke, of course noone should be thankful to Israel. However, there is no reason to make light of such a matter. I have now changed the text of the post.
that really IS a painful journey :/
Soon---> Green
Aura monster when he realized that, going down the stairs was aura+ too
I saw the screen, the brutal slide,
The downward slope you couldn't stem.
You lost the rank you wore with pride,
And traded in the Master's gem.
From Master’s bright, respected glow,
Down to the Specialist's cold cyan—
I know the bitter truth you know,
And how it breaks a coder's plan.
You watch the rating graph descend,
A thousand points of effort gone,
A brutal round you couldn't mend,
Stuck staring at the screen till dawn.
I know the coldness in your chest,
The ghost of what you had to lose.
You think you’re walking all alone
Along a path you didn’t choose.
But I am standing in the rain,
Right next to where your spirit breaks.
I know the map of every tear.
I know how much a heartbeat hurts.
Is codespeare really dead?
Shiver me timbers

I have made it at last
Those who got specialist from pupil
Those who got specialist from expert :(
very few understand how hard it is to climb (down) to specialist
Yet no one understands how punishing the journey is from HQ and LGM to a disabled newbie.
HQ ? Head quarters ?
Yes.
That will be happen to me if I got cooked in that contest too need to lock in
ayyy you finally caught up to me
He fell to expert 1 contest after, truly tragic
