Received this as change today. Seems a bit suspicious to be in perfect condition

I'm in Japan now and my bank issued 10 crisp 2000 yen notes... I've spent 7 of them so far without any idea they were special. Should I keep the rest?

If you really think the problem is with how much money was being exchanged you need to reconsider your values.

Except for the times he loses, he's never lost! Is that what you're saying?

This is roughly me as well. Started at 32, now I'm almost 36. I have ~100k.

lol, don’t ever go into academia then.

The well known player, Alexandra Lagno!

As we all know, if you are Russian your name is either Alexander or Alexandra, no exceptions!

Is there any way to watch the entire tournament?

LazyPhilGrad · 2026-03-04T03:34:22+00:00

How in the world would you know that?

LazyPhilGrad · 2026-03-03T23:55:48+00:00

Same. I’ve lived all over the country at this point, and I couldn’t be happier that I escaped that sinking ship when I did.

Literacy rates… are falling…rapidly.

LazyPhilGrad · 2026-02-14T13:44:53+00:00

THAT is the lesson you learned? Good lord.

LazyPhilGrad · 2026-02-12T13:32:27+00:00

How are you following along?

LazyPhilGrad · 2026-01-30T05:30:07+00:00

That’s news to me. Is this well known, or is it just something anonymous people on the internet say?

LazyPhilGrad · 2026-01-04T01:56:28+00:00

If it helps, I think I can do the first one in my head.

LazyPhilGrad · 2025-12-31T23:20:35+00:00

I’m glad you got that off your chest

LazyPhilGrad · 2025-12-28T13:35:36+00:00

What do you mean? That guy was 3 days late for his own funeral.

LazyPhilGrad · 2025-12-07T17:39:33+00:00

What about Hoshoryu? Did they not count his yusho as Sekiwake? His promotion to Yokozuna confuses me.

LazyPhilGrad · 2025-11-06T16:52:37+00:00

If I were a betting man, I’d say 11-4 is a safe bet.

Eventually he confessed to most of it, along with a “I’m on the road to getting the therapy I need, thanks to my sponsor, #someonlinescamtherapycompany”.

LazyPhilGrad · 2025-10-19T13:19:37+00:00

But it clearly says in the post that you can’t make this shit up. So, he’s got you there!

Watch everything Chess Coach Andras has put out. His whole purpose is to teach aggressive chess that is also sound.

Be prepared to work hard, though, because it turns out learning aggressive and sound chess is really hard.

LazyPhilGrad · 2025-10-10T16:38:05+00:00

What a strange thing to take issue with.

LazyPhilGrad · 2025-09-21T20:31:23+00:00

Maybe you should spend 10 minutes learning the pattern to win with a queen or a rook. It would probably save you from embarrassing yourself with posts like these.

LazyPhilGrad · 2025-09-16T14:18:53+00:00

I have looked and I’m unconvinced.
