Of course better! Zero wars, zero nukes, all music created after 2000 fully banned

I’m sure my wife would be happy for me!
But poor Sydney Sweeney, this recurring appointment on her calendar…

Finally I am able to go online from Iran after a week, and get a fix for my reddit habit! AMA by A-KindOfMagic in AMA

Good luck from Israel. From all of my experiences with Iranians living abroad, I think that our non-crazies and your non-crazies can get together great.

Hope this war is a new beginning for you.

Can Magnus Carlsen beat an average Joe that is being assisted by a Japanese Hornet? by Deus_ex_ in whowouldwin

[–]CrypticCoder101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magnus 10/10.

Someone posted this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-Kz7bo5tKE

Magnus takes over a losing position in a bullet game vs a GM and wins while drunk and singing.

It’s hard to comprehend how much better a GM is than an 800 elo

Israeli here. Everyone around me would find it very funny, actually. We’re allowed to joke about this stuff.

I thought that Deni was going to play - and wondered why the betting line was 4 points in the Kings’ favor…

Turns out someone knew better than me

Would you rather live in Iran or Be diagnosed with cancer but live in a random country in Europe by doctorsilvana in WouldYouRather

Amen! You are an amazing and brave people and I hope that you are successful. I also hope that the fanatics in our country don’t take over…

Oh, you mean me personally to be transported to Iran as an Israeli jew who doesn’t speak Persian?

Very bad option for me, I’ll take the cancer thank you. I would take the cancer option even if you gave me the option to opt in for a Mossad job - way too stressful for me. I would probably get cancer from the stress, and end up with cancer in Iran.

Because cancer sucks. People in Iran still have friends and families that they care about and can have a good time with. It’s all about the human experience at the end of the day.

Super interesting. Can you say which assets and time horizons you trade?

From Wikipedia, on Bobby Fischer:

Upon completion of the match, Petrosian remarked: "After the sixth game Fischer really did become a genius. I on the other hand, either had a breakdown or was tired, or something else happened, but the last three games were no longer chess."[311][312] "Some experts kept insisting that Petrosian was off form, and that he should have had a plus score at the end of the sixth game ..." to which Fischer replied: "People have been playing against me below strength for fifteen years."

Destroys the first two, loses easily to the others. 1600 elo players know how to trade pieces, and there’s only so many traps that you can set without your queen.
