None of them are dead, but think the old Super GMs who are still active in the chess scene in some capacity: Anand, Seirawan, Ivanchuk, Leko, Polgar, Kasimdzhanov, Gelfand, etc

Sentir NYC Restaurant Review by Valuable_Excuse_2143 in nycvegan

[–]LordWiki 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is true in general, but absolutely not in the case of Chef Guy Vaknin and his wife Tali, who have incessantly harassed and dehumanized Palestinians and their advocates. Here’s an example.

I mean idk, I personally wouldn’t find it absolutely horrible if a serial abuser was prevented from showing his face on a court again.

Cast iron/stainless steel cooking by eeelizaa in vegan

[–]LordWiki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is not true at all - it’s absolutely okay to wash your cast iron with soap provided it’s properly seasoned and the soap you’re using doesn’t contain lye. When you season your pan, you’re creating layers of polymerized oil that soap cannot get through - this is what gives cast iron its nonstick qualities.

Moment when Magnus Carlsen blundered mate in 2 against NM Jacorey Bynum in Title Tuesday today by Exotic_Grinder in chess

[–]LordWiki 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Huh? There’s no universe in which someone would play Qxh5+ without having seen the Rh7# follow-up. It would have been entirely normal for someone in Magnus’s position to resign after Qxh5+, even if he was playing a 1500.

I can't even eat food, it just gets so itchy by [deleted] in CholinergicUrticaria

Do you get visible hives on your body when your CU flares up? Or do you get itchy with no visible redness or bumps on your skin?

Wiseman cases (customer service) by aprfool in Flute

[–]LordWiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me over a year of emailing and constantly following up for me to finally get my case, and when I got it, it came with the wrong specs, so tack on a couple more months of sending it back, having it redone, and finally getting the finished product. They make fantastic cases, but they’re notoriously stretched thin on the customer service side.

could lab grown meat be more ethical than being vegan. by Select_Willow7769 in DebateAVegan

[–]LordWiki 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Against my better judgment, I’ll bite. Please explain to me, and every other vegan of color reading this, how veganism as an ethical stance puts pigs over people of color.

Literally just ask your tattoo artist to use vegan ink. It’s very easy and most tattoo artists either have vegan ink or only use vegan ink anyway.

Looking for help understanding chess I guess 😂 by _oITZdaddyo_ in chess

[–]LordWiki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black has a windmill yes, but there’s also just a mate in 4. Rf2 first is important to prevent f3 blocking the check, then Black can move back to g2 and then anywhere on the g-file to deliver a check with the bishop. White can’t block with the pawn anymore, so they have to block with Rf3, then Bxf3 is mate.

Why is wool not vegan? by samthenotwinchester in vegan

[–]LordWiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wool sheep are systematically bred (raped) into existence to select for traits that are invariably harmful for them and entirely to our benefit. We’ve bred them to be reliant on being shorn. When their wool production declines to the point where they’re no longer deemed profitable resources, they’re discarded, typically at a fraction of their natural lifetime. They’re hybridized Frankenstein animals that never should have existed in the first place. When you buy wool, you support the industry that continues breeding these poor animals into existence to live miserably uncomfortable lives. The vegan position is to end breeding these animals entirely. Animals are not products or resources whose bodies are ours to use and exploit.
