Why is it impossible to upload a picture? It says paste link to image, and that usually doesn’t work either. I just want to load a picture of a chess ...

Sounds good. :up:

@"Moliere" Good game.

Unacceptable

@"Moliere" Losing interest? Lol

:up: Accepted

Currently playing Moliere, but once I beat him I’ll move on to you. :wink:

I do what I want. Lol Stonewall baby

Game on.

Just isn’t compatible on my phone. Play on chess.com: https://www.chess.com/member/seinsfrage

By the same logic, everything Likud has done over the years justifies the actions of Hamas. As an evil organization, they’ve given up all rights to pe...

Playing Devil’s advocate, Likud’s actions make internal logical sense. Ideally, the Palestinians would just go away, to Egypt or anywhere else, they’d...

Just want to put this prediction here for my future self: All the hysteria and grandiose claims being made about Kirk’s death, how everything will cha...

Can’t call fascists fascists anymore? No, sorry. You talk and act like fascists and extremists, you’ll be identified as such — accurately. Besides, I ...

:clap: Brazil has a functioning judicial system. Good to see. May he rot in prison, that piece of shit.

We should all have moved on by now. Kids are shot every day — kids who didn’t contribute to ensuring this happens for decades to come with their spewi...

Why? If we’re assess that a person, a movement, a cult, a government, etc., will cause great destruction / murder / suffering in the future. No one ha...

You have to have a license to drive a car. No license to carry a machine literally designed to kill many people. Your NRA-like analogy is stupid.

Yes. When any event is ubiquitous, and everyone is supposed to have an opinion or reaction about it (see the cringey editorials and twitter posts), I ...

Agreed.

Well, he died for the second amendment I guess. He also railed against empathy— but after seeing the video, I just can’t help but feel sickened. I can...

With Trump nearly assassinated last year and now Charlie Kirk killed, anyone care to wager whether Republicans do anything about this problem and then...

She’s fantastic.

Yes indeed. The people now are even more culpable, since without US support there would be no genocide. It wasn’t like the US was propping up the Nazi...

https://www.nytimes.com/video/world/middleeast/100000010370105/nasser-hospital-gaza-israel-attack-videos.html What a shocker. What’s cool is that the ...

Thanks to for another laugh. The hypocrisy (and unadulterated stupidity) are so easy displayed with the cult, if only one takes a little time to do so...

No.

I think what’s most interesting about this discussion is that, once again, it’s crucial to distinguish between “common sense” notions and technical no...

He is a bright spot— and we do need more immigration. Illegal or otherwise. That you’re so far brainwashed into believing both of these things are som...

It’s fine that it was deleted— it was superficial. But to elaborate: I think the definition given (sincerely) is way too technical. Maybe it makes som...

Illegal immigration is good too. Should be more of it. If by that you mean a manufactured problem that countless people believed, mostly because they ...

Slowed to a trickle, yes. Which will be a disaster, since immigration is a good thing and there never was a problem to begin with, other than a backlo...

Not hopeless, just vacuous. Mamdani is a bright spot.

Don’t be a sap. You know very well that’s exactly what I advocate. I assume your “too many regular people” line isn’t sarcastic, but it should be. Reg...

It says something about the power of elites, their control of propaganda, the education system, and the general social and economic conditions which l...

Has there been ANY successes yet in this administration (in reality — not the delusions of the cult)? Domestically, I see nothing. I see failure after...

What exactly is this?

Pulling support for Ukraine and Israel would be fantastic. Trump so far has done neither. As stupid and ignorant and as a major loser as he is, ending...

Good point. But it’s still a hard pill to swallow for many Ukrainians. And I understand that.

He’ll blame Zelensky for not taking the “Great deal.”

Yep. But he’s inadvertently advocating for a solution which may end the war. Of course Ukraine won’t agree— but to expect Russia to give up the territ...

People can find ways of convincing themselves of anything. It’s partly how casinos work. Wishful thinking. And of course there’s usually a modicum of ...

Cool. So now I know to ignore you in the future. :up:

This is a joke, right?

Great new strategy: when something is presented that you don’t like, don’t simply dismiss it or call it “rigged” or a “hoax” (as has been done by Trum...

This war is over. Ukraine can fight on and lose more lives, and Trump can blow smoke about it all, but Russia will keep the territory it stole. Sancti...

I think we’ve been down this road before. I don’t agree with it. It’s true that Trump has been Biden 2.0 in regards to Gaza and Ukraine. But on other ...

A minority of Americans voted this buffoon into office. At this point, we deserve whatever he does. He feels emboldened this time around, and he shoul...
