Was a cab driver. A relatively famous singer stepped in. Said where he needed to go, didn’t say a word otherwise. It was a 5 minute drive. I stopped, said… that’ll be 15 euros. Or something like that. And got hit with the ‘dont you know who i am?’ I answered, “Well ‘his name’ , Im ‘my name’ and you need to pay”.
All the rice, one by one.
One of the few channels where the ad is actual content and not a ‘stare in the camera and say the thing’
first, Learn the London as white and modern defence with e3 as black. Or take a pick at an opening for both sides. Do not play anything else. Do not try to learn a hundred moves in a hundred openings, stick to one. Just one.
Actually study the opening. (just keep on playing it in the meantime.) Take advantage of common mistakes.
Second, When behind: keep playing the entire game. Do not quit. Do not give up. Do not surrender. Your opponents most likely do not know any endgame tactics.
When ahead: Get rid of everything, exchange everywhere, every opportunity to trade, take it. Get to the endgame asap.
Third: Puzzle. Puzzle. Puzzle.
Fourth: Watch high level commentary on high level games a lot.
Fifth. Analyse yourself. What did you miss? Where was the game turned around?
yeah but at least stand for your ideas. I don’t even mind. I just hate the 'please don’t ostracize me ’ packaging.
It’s always funny to me that people have to signal that they don’t believe in magic before declaring that they do, in fact, believe in magic.
If you don’t trust it, put a condom around it. It’ll be safest.
Everything gets funny then annoying then funny then impressive and then legendary when it’s 5000 of something.
Exactly the same as now. The ceiling has been reached. The possibilities explored. Nobody learned from it, including you. The future is now. This is it. This is peak AI.

How about Max Payne. Those game mechanics have never been copied or revisited. Which is crazy to me.
Spore. I mean, such an ambitious game that was completely hampered by the technology of the time. And never revisited ever again.

You have to work so you can’t be available. They don’t have to work so they can’t be available.
A hot dog is a sandwich in the same way that tomatoes are a fruit.
I’m sorry, but that’s not usual.
And the ultra wealthy don’t have to care about money, they don’t buy things. Others do that for them. They get styled. They have managed collections. Private bankers. Private financial advisors. Private funds. They don’t live like us. They don’t think like us. They don’t exist in the same spaces as us. They are nothing like us. It’s a complete and utter alternate existence.
The USB mess and proprietary cables.

I’m not a Christian anymore, but brought up as one. I was never told what Christianity actually is and meant, and only figured that out later in life. That did help me to not be too annoyed with the annoying parts of Christianity, even when people themselves don’t have a clue about what they are saying.
A basic misunderstanding of what is meant by ‘thanking God’ in a religious context like this, for atheist (and for a lot of theists as well), is the idea that this is an outwards expression, to something out there. For the theists it is supposed to be an inward expression to a feeling/knowledge of yourself. That’s the entire idea of baptism, it’s the symbolic acknowledgement of having God inside you. And part of the three parts of God (in Christianity), inside, outside, and in other persons. Symbolized by the holy spirit, God as a father and Jesus.
A consequence of being a creation of the almighty God. So, that’s 4 Gods to keep track of. Of which 3 of them are the representation of 1, this also hints at the polytheistic beginnings of religion.
I think for most atheists the feelings of annoyance isn’t because of these beliefs, as they are in themselves quite logical (in their own right, I didn’t mean ‘correct’ or ‘factual’). The annoying part is Christians don’t understand their own religion anymore and most of it is infested with fascism.
Anyway, this helps me not hate too much on harmless frases.
It’s a fact. Losing in chess always makes you feel incredibly stupid because the moves are always incredibly obvious in hindsight.
Congratulations for figuring out that the AI hype is dumb bullshit. Welcome.
When it comes to people we don’t have direct ties with.
It is true that elected officials represent people, they were chosen to do so. Losing your representation is actually kind of a big deal, and it should be a big deal.
A soldiers job is to avoid death while it’s on their heels. It’s heroic, it’s hard, it’s a complicated profession with a lot of moral dilemmas. You’re only on the good side if you win.
We’re constantly bombarded by the propaganda that we’re on the good side. And weeping over its defenders in the military is a great public way of communicating that you also believe this is the good side.
