I agree that China has a different political philosophy and think longterm, even in a timelines of centuries - that's why it makes no sense to me that it'd want to attack Taiwan directly and in such a short amount of time (2026/2027). Surely that must be some sort of western misinterpretation of Chinese motives? Not to glaze Chinese either of course but they gotta be smarter than that, they're not in the same desperate position Russia is. In fact, I'd wager Chinese long term goal is to slowly puppet Russia throught a series of disadvantageous trade deals (for the Russians ofc; which they're already in the full process of doing) and use puppeted Russia to weaken the west; in that sense, I see direct threats from Russia only

I'd imagine conventional war for Taiwan and seas nearby would devolve into a complete chaos and a naval asset graveyard for all sides, I can't believe China specifically thinks it can just isolate the island with it's navy when we saw what Ukraine drones did to Russian navy in the Black Sea. Japanese and US navy would also suffer a similiar fate

I like the efficiency tbh, not to be a glazer or something but US military might be one of the most efficient militaries ever created if it wants to be; precision strikes on a couple of targets and kidnapping the leader of the country and there's not a shit they can do about it

If your raps sound even remotely stimulating, then you should have no problems garnering attention on Instagram for example, and eventually monetizing it. They don't even have to be good necessarilly you just need them to get you attention. Ofc, it depends on you what spectrum of attention you would be willing to accept and handle LOL, like, you probably wouldn't want to become a meme. But that is also a legitimate way to making money nowadays

Indeed, I was a little trolly with that statement; I'm glad I got the attention. Gotta admit tho, that it would be a huge middle finger to this depopulation trend we are globally on, and so it's therefore so fuckin anti comformist and edgy

Listing all the specific items taken into consideration during my analysis would probably come off as very rude, let's just chalk it up to vibes™💫🧘

That's why you gotta have a close-knit family whilst also put an effort towards eventually creating your own, otherwise you gonna have to cope, such as thinking friends are your family, that you can have fun on your own in life and you're self sustaining, etc. You need to go beast mode and then make at least 15 kids minimum

I'm about 65% sure it's Preety India lmao

The more complex and the harder it is to learn the mechanics of the strategy game, the better it is. Most strategies are pretty EZ even on the hardest difficulties, but the ones where you have to micromanage everything are the best

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
