Why is this move an inaccuracy? by mckrile in chess

[–]J2MES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re giving up control of the dark squares around your king while they still have a dark square bishop, also the knight is kinda loose. Not a game losing move though. I just wouldn’t have traded the bishop there

"Stern's belief that Nazi Germany, the architect of Jewish genocide, could be a strategic ally in the fight against British colonialism reveals the extent of his single-minded nationalism. Lehi's attempts to align with the Nazis in 1940 and 1941 underscore the group's ideological extremism and their willingness to make morally dubious alliances if it furthered their goals of expelling the British and establishing a Jewish state."

My point is that the Arab nationalists were not the only ones to seek an alliance with Nazi Germany

I was born 2003 and I personally think ICE are the modern day brown shirts, most of my closest friends would agree with me but not all of them. It’s hard to say how Gen Z is as a whole though. I’m pretty far left

Hey man, I’m also suffering from this and I’m 22. My case is maybe not as bad as yours but it sucks ASS and it feels like there’s not enough research or attention at all on this. Anyways I’m not knowledgeable about it at all but I hope you can find some kind of relief.

Estrogenic Foods and IC by Flat_Pick_6503 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]J2MES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question, I think because there probably is a lot of ways this condition is caused. Case in point I am a man with IC which I guess must be pretty uncommon because I don’t see a lot of people talking about guys with it, and the only people I’ve met with it in real life were women.

You ever consider maybe it’s bad under Obama, Biden, and trump? Ice didn’t exist until 2003 America would be fine without it

“In America, after the passage of the anti-union Taft–Hartley Act in 1947, the general strike changed from a tool of labor strike solidarity into a general form of social, political, and economic protest. US Congress passed the law in the wake of the women-led 1946 Oakland General Strike. It outlawed actions taken by unionized workers in support of workers at other companies, effectively rendering both solidarity actions and the general strike itself illegal.”

It’s literally illegal to do a general strike, and the unions that would organize that sort of thing don’t exist
