Again, this is what happens when states own football clubs. The Premier League became a land grab for state ownership, billionaires, and private equity. All to the detriment of the game and its supporters. Man City a pawn in a geopolitical game.

These little speeches in front of a gigantic flag are some of the most delusional acts of self-aggrandizement I've ever seen. I wonder what's going through the minds of all the serious military people who're forced to watch this guy jerk himself off like this.

look, if you're worried about being remembered, don't try to pursue immortality or whatever, the smart move is to start selling substandard copper and then make sure anyone who complains deposits a physical copy of that complaint in a site that will later be archaeologically significant

Okay, I made a chart, it's every month since 1977. The blue line is how many people are citing high prices as a reason for worse finances in the U Mich consumer survey. The orange line is the annualized change in CPI. Do you see how the very close correlation MASSIVELY BREAKS DOWN in 2022?

Chess is hard for humans, but not for computers.
One day, it will be fully solved like checkers.
Between now and then, or even after, have fun.
People enjoy many games/sports where machines are vastly betterThere are more possible chess games, by about 40 orders of magnitude, than atoms in the observable universe. To solve chess, you'd have to map them all. Good luck.

Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 oom less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend.

if centrists didn't want to be put in a situation where the democrats have to reform the electoral system and judiciary within the first two years of the next president's term, perhaps they should have done it when it wasn't an emergency. if we do not do it, we will die under worse than Jim Crow.
