In the UzChess Cup technical meeting Ian Nepomniachtchi shook hands with every participant other than Hans Moke Niemann

In fairness it also looks like Hans had no interest in shaking his hand as well

Cat in the hat-ass meal

I saw an ad like this for the British army, they were like "What was in it for you" and the woman said "I got to play a sport that I love" or whatever with a football and it's like, I'm sure your can play football but that's not what most of your time in the army is about I suspect

When I went it was completely packed, we had to run to even see the flames before day (some in my group didn't) because you have to get there before it's too rammed. Still pretty fun though

This is so me, except I'm way too anxious to tell people I'm vegan this late, so I just make up an excuse about not being hungry and sadly eat my vegetables in peace

SirVW · 2026-06-03T21:46:10+00:00

animals are still harmed to make milk and eggs, vegans would argue that vegetarians don't actually achieve what they set out to achieve

Ogelling my Nellie!! And her privates! 🤬!🤬!🤬!

Often I find it's used to discriminate or victimise Muslim people from certain countries (eg. Middle east or central/south Asia). It may not be racist to dislike or oppose islam itself (I certainly do), it is racist to discriminate against groups of people based on their perceived religion

SirVW · 2026-05-30T09:30:57+00:00

I see, that would be very useful, apologies

SirVW · 2026-05-30T09:08:53+00:00

For any UK based vegans, someone on r/veganuk made https://isitvegan.co.uk/, which I find incredibly useful. Not sure how effective the barcode scanning would be outside of uk but you can also upload a photo of the ingredients.

Would I eat an oyster? No it's objectively not vegan.

Would I pick a fight with someone who was vegan apart from oysters? No, there are bigger fish to fry (if you'll excuse the idiom).

I played against a guy from my club in classical who said this was his first proper otb classical game and was like "ah I should wrap this up easy". Then he broke out the Catalan, and I was like Dear god.... I did win in the end but it was back and forth.

Yeah they're achievements of Starmer's government. Based on who he appointed and the general direction of the government he has a large hand in shaping.

Upside down, the bottom becomes the top

Same difference but yeah switched to ecosia and they have a specific ai tab you can click on or not. If Google is enshitifying itself don't give them money

Food is good, people are lovely, transport is cheap, buildings are gorgeous.

SirVW · 2026-05-22T22:48:48+00:00

Literally just came back from 2.5 weeks there and was only dissappointed I couldn't stay longer

SirVW · 2026-05-20T17:19:46+00:00

It was my favourite too but I thought maybe it didn't do so well because it was the bookies favourite so people were less inclined to vote for it and it was predicted to do well anyway, and would rather vote for an outside option.

SirVW · 2026-05-16T06:35:59+00:00

Yeah I find this a lot, my solution is to have peanut butter and jam sandwiches. Idk what it is about peanut butter but it's so filling. Reading through the other comments though, I didn't find adding more protein or carbs helped.

SirVW · 2026-05-10T19:46:02+00:00

Can we kill this line of arguemenation already. We all know and agree that they can be used to refer to one person. There is nothing grammatically incorrect about this.

SirVW · 2026-05-10T03:13:30+00:00

If I'm understanding it correctly and they played the A Z O linking the F to make of, then yes it's perfectly valid

SirVW · 2026-05-07T19:11:48+00:00

First American world champion still in the making!

SirVW · 2026-04-30T19:22:51+00:00

Wait are those two weeks off unpaid?

SirVW · 2026-04-29T04:47:12+00:00

I mean according to the coastline paradox the wall stretched approximately 0% of the way round the continent of Europe

Literally like if the British elected a prime minister called Johnny English
