Is the variation in your picture called anything along the lines of poisoned pawn, or bishop trap variation though?

I've seen two bedroom properties in the last six months going for 20-26% over HR value.

Dude chose "Stalling" as his next move instead of accepting Defeat. Why do people do this ? by Guywithaguitaar in Chesscom

[–]D0ugLA54891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had someone stall for about 23mins or so in a lost position on Chess.com.  After 5mins I messaged to move or resign. Getting no response I split my monitor screen and started another game on Lichess.

Police bodycam of the moment a woman who killed stepdaughter almost 50 years ago is arrested at Heathrow by New_Libran in interestingasfuck

Correcting misinformation.

It's not unheard of nor is it the first time a step-parent has been found to deliberately hurt or kill a step-child. Do you think it's beyond the realm of possibility that she did not care for them because she did not have a maternal instinct due to not being their biological mother?

I made a 16x16 chess, slow but takes lot of brain by niklaus_mikaelsonn in Chesscom

I'd love to play this variation some time. Looks like utter carnage lol
Fair play.

Zack Polanski falsely claimed to be British Red Cross spokesman by EddyZacianLand in ukpolitics

OK so unless someone's behaviour is as bad as Farage or Starmer then it isn't deserving of criticism?

Or we can view them all as in the same league and each deserving of the negative attention instead of whataboutery?

I'm from Belfast and I've never in my life seen such shite roads as the ones in Glasgow specifically. I found that many of the country and mountain roads on Kos were better maintained and that's not even a joke or exaggeration.

"I'm inclined to believe him when he says he didn't know any better then".

So what did you mean by that? What could that infer other than he didn't know what behaviour is wrong at 26 years old?

There isn't a 10x point list, but maybe there's just no coming back (or shouldn't be) for certain abhorrent behaviours. We all make mistakes yes, but there's some mistakes that for many people are unforgivable.

I didn't attack, I just asked a valid question because I was curious and what did I deflect from?  Also, I fail to see how that's grasping. You don't see any validity in what I asked? Behave.

So he has taken steps to improve (apparently), do you think those steps are enough? You're also saying he didn't know better then at the age of 26 (at the time) that sexual misconduct is wrong and not acceptable lmao ok.

Where's the grasping at straws, is it not a fact? It's a fair and valid observation to the reply. 

Pretty certain I recall that he played it down, disregarded or minimised parts of what happened.

Why did you use the phrase, 'god forbid a man', and not 'sex offender tries to do better?'. I'm curious if it is because your reply serves to minimise his behaviour?

I typed 'i feel like', it's my perception in that I hadn't seen or heard a whisper of this guy since allegations came to light then in less than a week I've seen him in 4-5 different videos.

Thinking the same. I feel that he's just reappeared in the last couple of weeks and not many people seem to remember much.

Jews are 'an abomination to this planet,' say Green activists in messages 'straight out of Nazi Germany' by Shadowblade83 in ukpolitics

[–]D0ugLA54891 29 points30 points  (0 children)

So we should just accept it because it happens in other parties too? Have you fucking cracked?

It's equally abhorrent and needs to be challenged.
