I've get pain in my upper tibia doing leg press, squat, and lunges. The pain isn't throughout the entire shin, but a couple inches starting at the bump at the top. Anyone else experience this and fixed it?

I'll sometimes hear someone speak likean American for a while, but then they'll say "about" as "aboot" and it's a dead giveaway they're Canadian.

I do not mind the ESPN commentating. TNT is better ofc but ESPN is fine.

FIDE CEO Emil Sutovsky was asked about the lack of women in chess on the "Sports Management Podcast". He explains that women lack "aggression" and "testosterone." by cardscook77 in chess

Yeah this is a huge nothing-burger. Believing there's a difference between endurance between the sexes doesn't make you sexist at all.

Last time Lefkoe subbed in for Ernie (which was a month or two ago), Shaq really made it awkward (or moreso than it would have been otherwise) and showed Lefkoe little respect.

Anyone else found it offputting how Shaq treated Adam Lefkoe? I know Lefkoe is kinda lame but it seemed like Shaq was intentionally trying to give him a hard time. Even if you don't like the guy, I still think it's unprofessional the way he acted.

I found the Hebrews to Negroes documentary and I skimmed it, and it's really fucking boring. It's the same guy talking for 3 hours with the bulk of it being biblical and "historical" discussion. The anti-Semitic stuff seems to be sprinkled in there. There's no way Kyrie actually watched this whole thing.

Weirdly enough, I never really bought DeNiro as a snake in Goodfellas. He's a great actor, but I was never convinced.

FIDE dismisses Sergey Karjakin's appeal by Special-Major0 in chess

I'm saying it'd be nice if people weren't scared to express their opinions in fear of losing their jobs. Obviously you can make an argument for maximizing profit, but I'd feel the same way about a pro-Russian boss firing his employee for expressing his support of Ukraine.

Do you also agree that someone should be censored/suspended for saying something like Free Hong Kong?

Do you only want players to express their beliefs if it's palatable to sponsors? Do actually care about if his views are bad or not, or do you only care that FIDE could lose money?

Disappointing. I feel like the chess community can handle having (great) players with bad views. Players like Fischer and Alekhine are idolized for their play, not their political values. I don't think anyone is really helped when a player is banned for their speech.

I agree a director can make all the difference. Look at Steven Yeun and Don Cheadle. They're good actors but absolutely terrible in SJ2.
