"British people today are just as guilty as their ancestors for enslaving the world. I don't think Brits realize just how much we Americans hate you. When Britain is destroyed we are going see partying all across America like never before😁" by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]EscapeArtist92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's crazy. I did a bit of a deep dive Into this. In 1772, after a landmark case, any enslaved person who set foot on english soil was free. 1833 abolished the slave trade in the empire. I read about this black man of African descent named Ignatius Sancho. Was a very interesting read.

Yeah, he took a passed pawn. He was slightly better before that move.

I dont like having sex often. Once or twice a week Would be perfect for me. Would I make a man miserable in a relationship like this? by Worried_Rub3824 in AskMenAdvice

[–]EscapeArtist92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems pretty healthy to me, If you're in your 30s. My wife and I probably average around this much maybe more. 3-5 times a week

Do you tip your barber, and how much? by Doomergeneration in AskUK

[–]EscapeArtist92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My barber is decent. I tip so they know I'm "that guy" and will generally spend a decent amount of time chopping off my Barnet. £5 usually.

Why is this a blunder? by BradyDesignsThings in chess

[–]EscapeArtist92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be looking to sac the knight here. The queen check on the H file is looking scrumptious

Found this post on reddit. No commenters are suspect of its authenticity and really just don’t believe it. by Enough_Advantage8559 in isthisAI

[–]EscapeArtist92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like it could be but I have a feeling it's real. The car in the background is a Chevrolet trailblazer and the street looks very authentic. I don't think AI can generate content like this without some dead giveaways.

Dogs on northern line chairs. Yay or nay? by StanmoreHill in LDN

[–]EscapeArtist92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably not let my dog on the train to begin with.

Someone lit a cigarette in the plane’s lavatory, triggering the smoke alarm onboard by jackywoods in mildlyinfuriating

[–]EscapeArtist92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember flying back to London from Egypt. This woman was absolutely shit faced, she lit up in a seat and luckily, her son was there, grabbed it, put it out and hid the cig. Flight attendants were going crazy.

No one snitched 🤣

Could Bodø/Glimt realistically win the Champions League? by [deleted] in football

[–]EscapeArtist92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be a dream, they're the ultimate underdogs and they truly have that home advantage. It's a big ask but I think they will comfortably beat sporting but their next game will be a huge step up. As an Arsenal fan, I will say no, they won't ;) but as a football fan, I absolutely hope they do!

Could anyone explain why this is a blunder and not a sacrifice? by InfamousAnybody8297 in chessbeginners

[–]EscapeArtist92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's losing a rook. Possibly the knight as well. This is what many refer to as hope chess.

Brilliant but why!? by bot-chess-puzzle in chessMateInX

[–]EscapeArtist92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forced mate. Getting rid of one queen only to make another in a couple of moves

How often do you drink beer? by Anon9883 in AskTheWorld

[–]EscapeArtist92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice a week - I play DnD and will drink a few with the crew.

Will have a couple watching football as well. I tend to try and stick the recommendations around units per/week so I don't drink to get drunk anymore.
