That is a devious trap. In that case the puzzle should have blocked Qg5 so the queen is truly lost. Very sneaky but not sneaky enough. Qg5 is too obvious once your queen is so stuck. It's the only option.

Why didn't he arrange a kickboxing match then? Because there is no money in it. Boxing is where old stars go to get their last grift.

More directly: "What about you Owen? Aren't you whacked out on pickup? What kind pervert supports Trump?"

I assumed it was a trap at first but then no trap materialized. Black can win even without taking the bishop I think. Try to win that game without taking bishop.

Why didn't you tell me he was fighting? I would have bet too!

The dangers of pickup go far deeper than catching an STD. Pickup will corrupt your soul and mind. As it did with Owen, Julien, Jeffy, and more. Look at the monster it made of Julien.

@Thought Art Obviously there is bad science and even worse science. There is no bottom to self-deception.

Of course there are dangers. There are also dangers to sleeping with hundreds of women. Funny how that is never emphasized, huh?

Yes, of course.

That is true. Military culture is super conformist.

Yes, all yoga is very confromist as far as precise techique. But pranayama itself works and it is hard to develop it on your own out of thin air. But for example, I use my own technique. It took me some years to break out of the conformity of yoga.

I recommend Kriya yoga. Kriya yoga is designed for householders. That means you do a few hours of Kriya per day and the rest of the time you focus on material activities. Kriya yoga does not require week-long retreats. That's one of its big advantages or meditation. So it is good for people who are too restless to do long retreats. Kirya is also more effective than meditation.

I have a few great books in my book list about mental disorders and schizophrenia.

But that means some are. People are not a statistic. They are particular. Mental illness does lead to violence in plenry of cases. Watch those police cam videos. Many of those violent people are mentally ill. You can clearly see they are mentally unhinged before they attack the police. Of course mentally ill people become addicts, because the drugs is the only relief they have from their painful condition. Something like 33% of homeless street people have schizophrenia and are often addicts.

Puzzle 5 seems much more interesting if white's bishop at c1 was actually at b1 from the start. Giving black a free bishop is too mich.

That's not bad then.

My high school best friend was so into guns and making explosives as a kid that he couldn't wait to join the military. He spent 10 years on and off in Iraq and has served in the military for 20 years. He loved it. It was his passion. It was the perfect job for his personality. So no, it's not all conformity. Some people's life purpose is being a soldier or an explosives experts. Blowing shit up is inherently cool.

@Hatfort Was that all in round 1? Lol

Schizophrenia can be such a serious disorder that all the money and compassion in the world won't save you.

Nothing wrong with losing a match. The wrongnenss is the grift of it. Knowing you suck but doing it anyway for the $$$.

That's my vibe!
