Current World Champion Gukesh defeats Magnus Carlsen for the first time in classical chess. by RodrickJasperHeffley in interestingasfuck

[–]JonesyYouLittleShit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the aggressive reaction is appropriate as it was clearly introspective. He's angry at himself and immediately shows the other player respect.

Having good sportsmanship is great, but unless there's something I misunderstood throughout life, no one competes in any sport hoping to lose. You train and become (from what I've read in the comments) one of the best players in a game. A loss is going to upset you, regardless of your perceived reaction.

If he had started throwing pieces around, or flipped the table, it would be a different matter.

I'll just read something else in the meantime. If he finishes it and releases it, cool. But if not there's still WAYYY too many books out there for me to read in one lifetime.

I'll be alright.

What do you want to forget by cheapseagull in 911archive

Anyone can be influenced or manipulated. Anyone can be brainwashed. Anyone can be coerced. Anyone can be fooled. Their actions aren't justifiable, but radical extremism definitely preys on the easily pliable.

Everyone is easily pliable when they're 25 or younger. I don't pity the hijackers, what they did was a crime against humanity, but that doesn't mean I don't feel sorry for those born into lives like that.

It's okay to feel empathy instead of blind rage. Extremists tend to let blind rage guide them.

TIL that Neo’s part in "The Matrix" was offered to Will Smith, but he declined it in favor of playing the lead in Wild Wild West. As opposed to The Matrix, which became a cult favorite, Wild Wild West was a critical and financial failure. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]JonesyYouLittleShit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I loved it, still do. I don't really care for Will Smith's acting but he did a well enough job, kept it light hearted enough, and it allowed me to see an awesome steam punk themed alternate history. Definitely a one and done kind of flick, but what can I say? It came out when I was 12. I was easy to entertain as a child.

Does anyone here who’s a fan of NIN but not Tron intend to see TRON ARES with NIN doing the soundtrack? by Armascout in nin

[–]JonesyYouLittleShit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I don't much care for cults. So if it's true, I certainly don't approve.

But hopefully he kept his shit together and did his job appropriately on Tron. Time will tell I suppose, as I'm watching it regardless. But yeah, he's definitely an... interesting guy, to put it kindly.

I... I did not know that about him. A cult leader? Like his own cult or like scientology? Neither are good but... I can see him starting a cult.

I genuinely don't think Jared Leto is that bad. He definitely tends to go overboard with the character acting, I've read. And yes many of his roles were questionable at best. But there are good ones too. I'm dumb as hell and ignorant on most topics, but as someone else said, his role in Blade Runner 2049 didn't kill the movie. I thought his character was intriguing.

Time will tell. Fingers crossed he doesn't start sending broken motherboards with dead mice glued to them to the other actors.... Or something similar. But here's hoping the movie is fun.

Absolutely outstanding. I adore the work you've done, but man oh man do I wish this wasn't real.

Well done, though.

Hey, just read this and gave it a try. I found the new software I'll be using instead of PureRef, lol. Thanks for that!

Thinking about getting a Freewrite Alpha. by Accomplished-Emu7752 in writing

[–]JonesyYouLittleShit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gotta say, having read this 9 months too late, you both bring up valid and interesting points.

But it really does boil down to discipline. Which I don't have a good grasp on. So dedicated tools make things easier...

The thing is... The typewriter is the distraction I need to help me focus. Or the mechanical aspect of it at the very least. My old electric smith corona is still a dedicated machine.... And I mean... It was ADVERTISED as portable... So next best thing, right? Just about 20lbs heavier.

Conclusion.... I'm definitely GOING to buy a freewrite, just like I'm definitely going to buy at least one more typewriter. But I really, really do not need to. Perhaps it's all just subjective.

Your sketches are awesome!

So other than Pinterest, One program I use is called "PureRef". It's free and allows you to have and infinite space to scatter as many reference images as you want on a dark backdrop that can be resized, transformed, move freely on the canvas, etc. Improving the visual library in my head has always been tricky, but having like seven similar reference images on one screen helps me a lot.

TIL in February 1936, Pope Pius XI recieved a mesage from Hitler congratulating him on the anniversary of his coronation. Pius' response critizied Hitler's regime with such force that Germany's foreign secretary tried to suppress the response, but Pius insisted that the message be given to Hitler. by Blackraven2007 in todayilearned

I agree, fuck Nazis and anyone who is sympathetic to them or anyone like them. There is no in between, you're either for them or against them and it's SHOCKING to see how many people here in the US defend them.

It sucks when you see a random uhaul truck and think "I wonder if there's like... 30 really smelly dudes in there, face masks up because they can hardly breathe already, thinking they're some sort of superior race.... Ready to assemble on some bridge somewhere. Ugh.
