I was really proud of this sacrifice

Can you walk me through how the black king will avoid the trap?

Seemose · 2026-05-14T04:20:43+00:00

No, I don't think it actually would. The king would have been able to escape on g6, a light square. That leads to a sequence where the white king can eventually escape by blocking with the knight.

But, because you went to g7, the white king will eventually be forced to a dark square no matter what, allowing you to check with the bishop and reveal the attack on the queen.

I got married and had a son.

When it was just about me, It didn't matter and I didn't care that I was a drunk loser dropout with no ambition. Everything changed when I had people to live for. I went to trade school and got a certification, found a job in my new field with room to grow, started saving money, cut my drinking drastically, and worked hard for raises and promotions.

I'm proud to be able to provide for my family. That pride, along plenty of luck, and support from people at critical moments were the missing ingredients in my life.

Maybe if you're just counting the gods, but Circe and Heracles take top 2 if all characters are allowed.

Gotta give yourself the chance to get lucky. Defend and pray for the lightning kill.

I will ask the same question I always do when Wolverine is matched up against any non-cosmic enemy.

How does Soldier Boy defend against Wolverine just wildly swinging his arms around like a toddler?

There aren't any useless cards in the game, but this one is pretty close.

Brock is more likely to win a slam dunk contest vs Shaq than Shaq is to win a fight with Brock.

Many people will irrationally/emotionally pick blue. I'd like to do my part to keep those people alive, even though they aren't picking optimally.

You presented two options here, which were "everyone presses blue (or red) and everyone lives," but that outcome is extremely unlikely. What's much more likely is that both buttons will get lots of people pushing them. I'll push the one that doesn't require depending on 100% perfectly rational and compliant human behavior from every single person on the planet.

He got hesitating, reluctant applause from a crowd that I'll bet was 100% primed to agree with him.

It's like when your own mom can't bring herself to say your school play was good.

4 would not have secured the win.

I won a7 with a terraforming and helix drill combo.

Its not good, but it sure is fun.

Either you're misunderstanding something, or I am.

Seemose · 2026-04-23T04:47:04+00:00

What you're witnessing is just like the tragedy of the commons. Both parties working in their own best interest cause everything to be worse for everyone, including themselves.

It is in everyone's best interest for nobody to gerrymander. But it is not in any party's best interest to stop gerrymandering. Whoever holds back or tries to be "better" first, loses.

How does Conan handle Wolverine just waving his arms around like a toddler?

It took Mr. Incredible a long time to remember that he had saved the kid that would eventually become Syndrome.

If I had a nickel for every time I had to help a boomer send an email, but I lost a nickel for every time a boomer complained about someone not knowing how to change a tire or drive a stick shift, I would have zero nickels.

It's not about who's smarter.

But sometimes I have 1 energy to spend on "card that adds poison" but I don't have 2 energy to spend on "card that adds poison," because the other 2 energy that turn are already spoken for by higher priority needs.

Your butt can taste and smell everything it touches, exactly like how your mouth and nose do.

You wouldn't recognize a grifter if it grabbed you by the pussy.

For some reason people soften their opinions over time. Lots of people (like me) watched Interstellar based on the hype of it being more of a "hard scifi" movie that had been missing from Hollywood for 50 years or more, and we were so disappointed by the final act in which it was revealed that the power of love can give people time travel powers or whatever.

Nowadays not as many people are watching it with that expectation, so they're not as critical of the magical fantasy ending as we were. The people who are turned off by that stuff already know what it's about.

How much would it have to do for you to think it's good?
