My head is an engine

This position looks like it's losing but if we take the queen with the rook on B7, then the pawn takes our rook and we'll check the king on the 1st rank with the queen to B1, king would likely move to G2, then we'd move our king to F8 preventing promotion of the E6 pawn, we are up a queen and it's queen vs rook play so it should be GGs

It is indeed, a significantly kindergartenish view of the world and reality in my opinion. Also kind of posits that progressive narratives (as they'd be defined nowadays) are fundamentally correct and superior and the more conservative narratives would be ranked lower on the spiral, in the lesser stages. But when the rubber actually meets the road and these narratives escape the world of theory, we see a lot of problems. Imo the more confused you get and the less you think you know, the more accurate your perspective is, cause you're holding all these perspectives and all of their errors in your head, and the more you're aware of the more you feel like a moron

Depends on the job, location and the company, there are relatively EZ jobs out there which, if you're lucky enough to obtain, can grant you the privilege of just scratching your balls while doing little actual work, which is something you'd be doing anyway if you were a NEET or a failed artist NEET. Well, we are all heading that direction anyway due to A.I.

Just do some shit. Don't get influenced and distracted by other people anywhere offline or online (including this place), subtly manipulating your perceiption of how hard work and progress should look like, what you should and shouldn't do, should and shouldn't think etc. if you trully wanted to achieve something you'd just do some shit towards achieving it every day, of course the issue is that you don't probably really want it, or the perceived effort isn't really worth it, or the idea of having that thing was implanted into your mind by outside influence so it's not really authentic to you. In such case, it is understandable to not really do shit as trying to achieve something you don't really even want is kind of gae

That's a good point and I've missed that lol however I'm sure there's a line in here somewhere in which you will either tactically win a knight or a bishop, just need to harass both at the same time long enough for the opponent to make a mistake

I think the only foreseeable line in sight of us, mortal non GM players, would be white pawn to D8, followed by a black queen to A8 (the only way to prevent instant backrank checkmate), then white queen to A3 attempting to get rid off the black queen. Black queen would then go to D8 most likely, blocking our pawn from promotion and taking it on next turn. However, we'd go white queen to A7, tactically winning a black bishop, and this might be enough to eventually win an end game, since we'd mantain a significant material advantage over the black. I've analyzed this game in stockfish and indeed, after 2 Magnus Carlsens duking it out, white should come out on top of that exchange, after like 46 moves

I would definitely pause even as much as a thought about having kids until certain world events get resolved. I'm not envying people who chose to have kids now, ignorance is not always bliss

This one's pretty EZ, I'm pretty sure that after rook D2 every possible square white king can land on leads him on a path towards a checkmate or taken queen and then eventual checkmate

You could say that about most things. Whether you enjoy a particuliar thing or not is the deciding factor. I mean look, you're saying you're not that interested in chess and yet this topic has probably one of the highest densities of your responses per page lol

It's not possible for every single to day to be worthy of celebration by definition, since each individual day would be the same therefore nothing would be special about it therefore not worthy of a celebration, I know 🧘‍♂️wookies™ are looking at this differently but I'm more about that common sense type shiet

The more days there are celebrated, the merrier as far as I'm concerned, medieval people had a clear edge over us especially in this department, them MFs had rest days for like half a year

There is such a tournament in fact, it's called free market/ attention economy

It could’ve been over in the first if Joshua didn’t have so much respect for him. He could’ve just kept pushing forward, and there’s nothing Jake Paul could’ve thrown that would’ve hurt him, in my opinion. He was being too careful and systematic tbh, but Jake aint no Ruiz lol

The writer of that article is just some popular, socially well off black woman - with good looks + she's a woman + spews endless social justice articles and content, so she fits right into the correct narrative. Although she most certainly wouldn't see it that way, in reality imho for her life is a smooth cruise. So who really cares what she writes or thinks, if she and women like her think that having a boyfriend is embarrassing, then they are entitled to having their own opinion and choice

That money comes with a cost though, imagine videos and clips of you getting whooped all around the internet, and people making fun of it lol not everyone would be able to handle that Either way, I think the talent pool for all sports in general will keep shrinking and reducing in quality because our priorities seem to be different, so I expect these types of attention whoring events becoming more and more of a norm, keeping all sports afloat so to speak

"Kings" lol this is all just internet slop bro. Everything is getting shitified nowadays and martial arts are no exception, because we are all dopamine addicts and we worship personalities that make us feel some type of way, and just dumb confidence, instead of having appreciation for actual skill, this is all our fault. Otherwise how can you explain Jake Paul getting in the ring with Anthony Joshua when he never had any business being there at all lol and have you seen the technique of that Chase guy, chin high in the air, completely telegraphed punches thrown in the air higher than a skyscraper, etc. LOL just terrible. What a trash

I feel similiarly, except, as things stand right now, I can't really even be fucked to care about voting. Just the way I think now, maybe I will end up voting but right now I wouldn't. I'm checked out. To be honest, in my opinion, I think the way this works is that the more you are aware how things most likely REALLY actually work, the more you'll have to try to find something you can care about or find a meaning in, eventually it can become a real struggle

Yup, let's again incentivize our education system! For each correct answer, a kid will avoid a beating! That will teach those little buggars!

I would probably do knight to g4 at first, threatening immidiate checkmate. White would have to therefore take with the pawn, exposing a path for my rook on the g3 square. After that, I don't know lmao I'd probably loose. Whatever who cares, if you can't immidiatelly win with a briliant move rook sacrifice, the game wasn't all that good anyway

UFC fighters aren't paid enough to throw away money like that in the first place, add things like physical therapy and various medical expenses, fight camp expenses, staff expenses etc. and after those are concluded even those fighters on the top of the roster end up having only decent money, nothing extraordinary. Most are barely making it by. Although I guess Jiři does have his own way of solitary training but there's no way he doesn't spar, doesn't go throught fight camp at all. And he does get hit a lot with his style, it's a miracle that he's so eloquent still and able to talk about consciousness and stuff like that

Alas, seems like you're an experienced fella and know what you're talking about

I would literaly rather go to jail

"These broads don't care about the enviroment!"

I'd still take the modern life over any other kind of life we ever had in the history of humanity. I suppose some sort of hybrid between the modern/artificial and the natural/raw would be ideal. Well, one can always dream, or aim towards something
