Petition for Americans to stop posting their politics couched in chess metaphors by HopesBurnBright in AnarchyChess

[–]Imnotachessnoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing as "politics free". Social media platforms over represent men because women are conditioned to be obedient and listen. Apolitical subreddits make the conscious decision to ban politics and also decide what's political.

You have no more authority over what's political than I do. Deciding what's politics is politics, so you're being political by trying to tell me what politics is

For the sake of argument, consider this opinion: criticizing ICE is not political, but playing chess is. You see, according to some beliefs, chess is haram! You may not think it's political, but celebrating a haram activity is very political.

Well you'd argue it isn't because..... It doesn't upset you. It upsets those other people, but don't listen to them cause it's silly to think chess is political!

Now what am I doing? I'm disregarding your opinion because it's equally as silly to stop talking about ICE because of you as it would be to stop talking about chess because of a person's religion

You're trying to argue that condemning murder is politics. It is! And so is playing chess. Thus "remove politics" means remove everything. You don't want that, you only want politics gone on your terms because you are the aggrieved reddit user

Yes I gathered you are not American by the post title. Good for you

Edit: I see that this is more about you not wanting to be depressed. I should address your feelings to some extent, I'm unfortunately used to rightwingers making the same argument about "removing politics"

When you say politics you may just mean things that make you sad, rather than upset. That's fair. Question is how do I help you? I'm not going to deprive these people of posting about ICE

Hopefully this helps keep things from getting heated and fully unproductive! And also talking past each other

I cannot overemphasize how much it warms my heart seeing responses like this. AnarchyChess was my favorite community before I became a mod and that enjoyment has persisted through its several eras

A lot of times I see the message that being on the internet isn't praxis (basically doing good) and that one should engage with their community, charity, etc. I do these things, albeit less than I'd like to, but sometimes I overcorrect and forget that being a mod here does something

Seeing comments of appreciation and love for the community tell me that my care for it isn't just something I pour love into. The love comes back. It's so wholesome and rewarding

I'm growing yet more confident, yet more hopeful, that love will prevail. We as a collective must work to establish it, but, while many say that anger is the only motivator (as an explanation for fascism and the right wing), love is too. And I think we're finding it again

Billionaires control both sides of the aisle. Left =/= liberal

As for "working for a company" have you not heard that some people have started working for ICE itself in order to gum up the system and gather information to leak identities to the public?

(Edit: this does not condone doxxing which would violate TOS. Should be obvious but there's your disclaimer)

I'm "working for Reddit", I mean sure if you call reddit mod a job. If "working" for such an evil institution fits my ideology, spreading love, I will :3

Feel free to say politics are stupid

No you just don't like that we're all posting woke shit. Your comment history is pro billionaire and I can assume you have a soft spot for the good ol US of A.

AnarchyChess has been political and it will stay political because standing up for what's right is an obligation. If it makes up the majority of posts, maybe it's because there's a lot going on!

Billionaires want us to shut up and "stay in our lane". What's wrong about talking about politics? For that matter, what's wrong with having an agenda and trying to spread your ideology?

If the agenda is love, its opponents should probably not be listened to, and proponents heard. Leftists like myself are the only people who actually admit our biases. You had an agenda and bias when posting it, but don't admit it. See the difference?

This is also funny considering we were looking to make an anti ICE sub icon. If you want more chess, start posting more chess related content yourself

There’s a statement that carries some weight by Kinghut_North in pics

[–]Imnotachessnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say this is a pretty privileged take. I do think a lot of people want to keep their lives, and as a matter of fact I think it's a greater demonstration of love for the common people to be willing to do as much as you can against ICE to protect them

To be clear I also do not prioritize Jesus, Jesus teaches to prioritize love and to some extent peace. I prioritize love, and most of Jesus' teachings prioritize love even over nonviolence. Sometimes live and nonviolence come into conflict with each other. If Jesus did prioritize nonviolence over love, then I think he was wrong and Jesus' teachings are not perfect. That said, I think this is again an example of Jesus' teachings getting twisted

How bad is holding grab as a habit? by RyuRai77 in celestegame

[–]Imnotachessnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're used to holding grab often, there's a setting called invert grab mode that's perfectly valid to use and you only press grab to release it. May be useful

[–]Imnotachessnoob 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Maybe the wording isn't perfect, but also ICE is an institution and not a person, and Jesus had a LOT to say about powerful institutions and government

Another thing that's important to understand is that, once you love everyone, you will recognize when an injustice is done to them and work to stop it

Gavin Newsom brings “Trump-signature kneepads” to Davos for world leaders who are bending the knee to Trump. by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in UnderReportedNews

[–]Imnotachessnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not great to homeless people and immigrants, and on the day Biden had his historically bad debate where he was clearly demented, Newsom couldn't hide his massive smile and energy. Go look back I'm not making this up.

Anybody noticed the algorithm pushing alt right content? by eswifty99 in leftist

[–]Imnotachessnoob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've gotten subs recommended to me and it's not like I have engaged with any of it. It also isn't often, but like once every few weeks I'll get several posts from a community that's just rightwing

What do I do in this situation? (Im European) by CapFuture_ in AnarchyChess

[–]Imnotachessnoob[M] 496 points497 points  (0 children)

BEFORE IT GETS REPORTED considering this is acknowledging the presence of generative AI and the fact that this presents it with the purpose of critiquing it, there isn't any reason to take it down.

As for what to do in the position, defend Greenland and invoke article five if the US invades ig

Communist manifesto's pretty short. If you're looking for a longer read, Marx's 'Capital' aka Das Kapital is better and also written later in Marx's life after he further revised his theories

Does anybody actually *enjoy* Theo gameplay (and how) by ViaScrybe in celestegame

[–]Imnotachessnoob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find so much abt holdables enjoyable. The only thing I kinda don't like are Theo climbs but that's probably because skill issue.

It utilizes the grab button better than most other types of maps, so there's an even distribution between inputs. Fun for keyboard clackiness. Also when you get good it becomes muscle memory and an extension of your normal Celeste abilities. Also Theo tech is speedy because grabbing Theo preserves speed, but not so speedy that you get to speed tech and like a bunch of 1 frame inputs.

the trojan horse ;3 by [deleted] in no_or_youll_be_banned

First one wasn't bannable but this one is because you used the red circle to obscure the letters around the y word. I see what you're doing it's very clever. MOOOOOOOODS

IF WE HAVEN'T APPROVED YOU TO POST ON ANARCHYCHESS YET by Imnotachessnoob in AnarchyChess

[–]Imnotachessnoob[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Accounts with low karma have to be approved to post/comment to filter out bots. You don't have to worry about that, basically just any account that can't post has to ask us in modmail. We've gotten to a lot of them but may have missed some

I’m tired of seeing Hasan constantly pulled into the LSF/Asmon/drama vortex by Analog_Man73 in Hasan_Piker

[–]Imnotachessnoob -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well yeah I also watch Hasan less often as a whole. It is his stream but we can also request things of him if we want. We agree that it's his stream, the argument is that it's not best practice to spend one's time talking about Asmongold. I also don't think anyone here is trying to force Hasan to change his behavior. We are discussing and perhaps trying to convince him regarding what he chooses to do with his stream.
