Surely just one of them may be struck down in a spectacular manner. Surely one of them.

Walk around the neighborhood with a 2 year old in October and you can witness concept formation in real time. "Ok. We worship spiders, as a people. Ok."

my most impractical and haughty design opinion is if you’re doing any kind of text that’s supposed to look sketchy or handwritten - do it on actual paper and fuckin scan it. it will look so so much better I promise. if you use a digital brush or a font I can tell, and I will slice you in half

Oh, waiter? I'd like my soup to be at such a temperature that one big spoonful is ready to eat after blowing three stout blows of breath from my lips. I'd like my soup to be just so!

...and this applies to basically any discussion about anything, inescapably and forever but especially inside this type of website. So, the thing I'm doing right now is self-defeating.

The REALLY messed up part of all this is that any attempt to explain this, at any level of detail, probably looks like "debate." So, despite that you could maybe explain it to one person directly, like, talking like people, others overhearing this may come away from it thinking "it's a debate." ...

"Solved" here means something with mathematical specificity. The existence of a best/most popular opening + endgame tablebases does not make a solved game. Computers that can beat humans does not make a solved game. "Basically solved" is functionally meaningless stretchy stretchy rhetoric.

To clarify, a certain number of them are sarcastically repeating the words of a certain car salesman. But another segment seem to have missed the joke, and are now repeating it earnestly. And an even larger segment of them have whole lines of reasoning backing up the claim.

Sometimes I search for mentions of my old chess story. As punishment for my vanity today I've come to learn of the apparently significant number of people who believe chess is a solved game. Because of how these misunderstandings seem to work, this will probably haunt me for the rest of my life. 👍

Whole Foods knows about the Four Waters that are combined in a specific order to create normal water but they won't tell you them

Bathroom sink area where one can see three pipes coming out of three adjacent places on the wall which combine left plus center and right plus center and then all three again into one and then up through a weird larger tube section and then up and then down again to combine with flow from a fourth pipe coming out of a different place in the wall and then into a white plastic shrouded pipe section(?) and then up into/under the sink. Hot water has its own separate pipe from the wall. Ok

Long-game cashing in on players' parasocial relationship to this guy who signed away the rights to his likeness (and this I guess), big button sells subscriptions, disquieting adjacency to the emotional hijacking of chatbot ai companions. Weird and embarrassing. Biggest chess platform in the world.

Chess dot com is such a messed up institution at this point for so many reasons, but this one caught me off guard. They now show you this guy being sad and disappointed in you after you've blundered a game. He can't even look you in the eyes.
