Love Lichess. The only thing I love about chess.com is the ability to create custom variants, edit them, and unleash them into the wild. Been loving minihouse lately, such a cool variant. Would love to see Lichess add bughouse, as its cous

Israel will be fine. They have nuclear weapons if shit really starts to get bad. They'll tell you they don't (while smirking), but they do, and have for like 70 years.

A good analogy to this situation is the analogy of playing chess with a pigeon, who knocks over the pieces, takes a shit on the board, struts around for a moment, and flies away. Except in this case, the pigeon has a ton of yes-men worshipi

I think the issue is a lot deeper than the article suggests. The problem is, society is fucking broken. The middle class is being decimated. People are going to take their destinies into their own hands, as seen by the growth of daytrad

Tony is also super smart in how he gambled. Your average degenerate is nowhere near as intelligent as Tony is. I have a very small edge in sports betting although I don't really do any of the deep overpriced/underpriced arbitrage

Except in the state of MA. They rightfully passed legislation banning such practices. The idea is that if casinos and bookies refuse to cap your downside, they have zero right to cap your upside.

I live in SoFLA and have seen one of his kids around town a few times. The kid is 110% all-in on the "chosen people" mantra and seems to think everyone is beneath him. Miami Beach's jewish population loves him. Ironically

This is what everyone misses. Bibi has been found guilty by his own court system of gross corruption. Bibi tried to neuter his country's court system as a result, which pissed off a lot of Israel's population. Everything from 10

This. It also fails to understand that the vast majority of the Iranians that are capable of change have actively left over the rule of the regime - that's why there are huge Persian diasporas in LA, Paris, London, NYC, etc. Those wh

Not an insult at all - the mormons are explicitly against swearing of any and all forms, moreso than any group of people i've ever met. they self-censor in a very unique way, they are super clean in how they speak.

by NickC25 7mo ago
this is the internet, not a Sunday service at your local mormon temple where swearing is banned. You can call Larry Ellison an asshole. There are few people more deserving of being called in asshole than he is.

I'd like the Iranian regime to be destroyed, and I'd like for the Israeli regime under Bibi to be destroyed, too. They both suck and both collectively fuck off for the betterment of humanity.
