I can't get myself to enjoy chess960. So much of my understanding of the game comes from pattern recognition and familiarity with concepts (e.g. This structure is basically a reverse carlsbad, black should play for the minority attack, white has to get a kingside attack rolling and the knight to e5)

960 is disorienting


I don't understand what's "scammy" about a rugpull. What did the "investors" expect? That lolcoin would become a cash flow positive business and disburse dividends?

The part where you lie to people and falsely describe it as investing and promise/imply/mention profits.

Rugpull is a scam by definition, being confused why scam is scammy seems weird.



Selling jeans is the one that actually worked

I second this.

Vibe coded projects can be cool (if they're impressive), articles about using AI can be cool (from the right people), articles about the future of AI can be cool. All of these can sometimes be too much and some of them are just poor projects / articles etc. But they should definitely be allowed; some of them are genuinely interesting / thought provoking.

Someone prompting gpt-4o "Write a nice reply comment for this <paste>" and then pasting it here is never cool. If you can't write in english, you can use google translate or even ask an llm to translate, but not to write a comment for you!


Hey! I just did this last night!

Other kids' games are all such a bore! They've gotta have rules and they gotta keep score! Calvinball is better by far! It's never the same! It's always bizarre! You don't need a team or a referee! You know that it's great, 'cause it's named after me!

Yeah, that's my experience as well. I only did once, and it was against my father...

We should coordinate flights


Israel definitely wants to get rid of Irans ballistic missiles.

That said; if you believe (as do some commenters here) that Israel could ignite nationwide protests with 100,000s of people whenever they want, then they definitely don't have to worry about Irans army


I don't believe Israel can ignite nationwide protest and sort of assume, as a military/strategic matter, that Israel's primary response to Iran's MRBM capabilities is deterrent. Israel control's Iran's skies. I think the direct military part of this conflict is basically over.

I'm just a message board commenter, this is just a take.
