I’m sorry the free website hasn’t set up a trust for you.

  I’m sorry a free website is blowing smoke up my ass about future plans. I’ve been hearing this same promise for longer than many Hackernews reader have been alive. It does not get easier to hear it with each retelling. There are more than two states available here. An excellent time to announce always free is when you set up the trust. An excellent time to announce the intention to be free is when asking for advice or help with making that happen. Edit to add: think about it this way. When a prospective love interest makes an oddly specific promise, does that make you feel more or less safe than you did before? “I’d never cheat on you with your brother.” “I’d never murder you and bury your body in Texas.” Well this was a lovely date, I’ll call you. But I have a busy week and a business trip so it might be a little bit. I was already assuming lichess intended to remain free. Why are you telling me that now? Was that in jeopardy? Do we need to have a talk?

    I don’t know what to say. I think you are extremely zoomed in here on a free chess website haha.

      Entirely possible. I mentioned somewhere else in all of this grey text that I’ve been hearing this exact story for 25 years now and it doesn’t seem to get any easier to hear it from a new mouth. Everybody says they’re going to do their new favorite thing forever and everybody either gets distracted, gets a new new favorite thing, or worst, gets shit on by life and has to backpedal. Just... Roll that good energy into literally anything else. Please.
