/v/ calls it DA:CISquisition because it panders to tumblr users with all the romance BS

Sadly, it would just be unrealistic for the time period if there were romance options for the typical /v/ poster: virtual anime waifus just weren't invented yet.

All of my games today have had 1/2 role carries that have sub-300 GPM. It is literally impossible to carry these fools when they'd rather get a bounty rune than take T1s...

 

[Hylian7]

Yeah but the intent is to show how little you care. Saying you could care less means you're not not-caring as much as you could be and you still care a little.

But if you think about it both mean the same thing for the most part.

They both mean the same thing. "Could care less" is sarcastic, "couldn't care less" is literal

 

[close to the edge]

WTF is happening? Is this even Dota?

 

[shira]

VP Polar pls.. They are losing to a support split-pushing. Granted, it's a Shadow Shaman, but still.

This isn't even dota

Actually it means the exact opposite, if you think about it. lol...

[JawesomeJaw]

This is the best worst game.

well yeah but which one is he actually trying to use to convey his thoughts

They both mean the same thing.

You can think of it sarcastically if you like. Same as "that'll teach you to leave your car door open!" meaning "You shouldn't leave your car door open." Or think of it as a shortening of a longer, older expression: "I could care less, but I don't."

Idioms are weird anyway. I know the logic that goes into correcting that phrase but as an English major it's sort of like pointing out the logical inconsistencies of jokes.

I knew your intent but one day you might come across someone who doesn't and you have to be prepared.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

I'd put the Spectre on suicide watch for tonight. That's about one of the goofiest throws ever. Awesome game though.

 

[Haly]

Ah, yes, this is just like when the internet convinced Oxford that "literally" meant "figuratively".

Now "some" can also mean "none".

Soon, zero will equal greater than zero and all hell will break lose as reality collapses in on itself.

The look his teammate gave him after that was pure exasperation. I never knew a look could convey "what the fuck did you just do" in such great detail.

Re: "I could care less" THIS seems like a far better source than that Richard Spears book.
Basically, "I couldn't care less" was the original phrase, and some dumbass or overly sarcastic American (dependent upon how cynical you are) changed it to "I could care less"

"I couldn't care less." = This is the bare minimum amount of fuck I give.

"I could care less." = I could give less fucks about it than I do now.

I knew your intent but one day you might come across someone who doesn't and you have to be prepared.

Not my problem that they are wrong then. That would be like me saying "We ate, Grandma." vs "We ate Grandma."

 

[Acinixys]

"I couldn't care less." = This is the bare minimum amount of fuck I give.

"I could care less." = I could give less fucks about it than I do now.

I disagree

The original is there to show that you care 0 and could not care less than zero

"I could care less" means that you care at least 1 and that destroys the entire point of the statement

[kvk1]

what's going on

DOTA 2 |OT7| We know grammar

 

[Razzer]

Everyone I know just assumed it was Americans being silly, it's never used here.

except one is pronunciation and punctuation, where as one is 2 phrases that mean "I could not possibly care less than I do right now" and "I could care less than I do right now" which are incompatible with eachother. But as we have learned through the power of the internet, the latter phrase is an American idiom that does not require linguistic accuracy, by nature of being an idiom.

Everyone I know just assumed it was American's being silly, it's never used here.

Turns out it is!

You're both thinking about this the wrong way. See my previous post.

yeah but is it an idiom

because we can just get rid of all definitions if we just call it an idiom

[xanavi]

It's a doggy-dog world you should of thought of the consequences for you're error. Irregardless its the same difference and I literally could care less for all intensive purposes so you're point is mute per say.

 

[Technosteve]

did the koreans take stupid pills? the russians are winning

 

[Drkirby]

You know, nown isn't even in my phone's dictionary, it's weird I tell you.

You know what they say, eat a barbecue before Dota and guaranteed rapiers.

I thought about correcting that, but I'm really not big on semantics and diction, y'know?

I want MVP to win this really bad, but they are really trying their darndest not to.
