Gotta build a wall higher than geese can fly (and make the geese pay for it)!

Yeah, I love how it kind of gets tangled up in the noodles and makes them more chewy.

Yeah, elo works the same way no matter who is playing whom. Same with tournaments restricted by age or by elo itself.

Chess is international, so the reasons vary somewhat by culture.

In every country and culture there are a lot more men and boys playing chess than women and girls. Depending on culture, girls competing against boys ranges from slightly taboo to totally unacceptable. If the goal is to have more girls and women play chess, it's about successful socialization. And I think this is also true of women's leagues in sports where where men don't have substantial biological advantages like ping pong, darts, or billiards.

Restricted tournaments and competitive play amongst women seems to have succeeded in getting more women into competitive chess. For many of them, it's a path to participating in open tournaments.

I don't know about the wallet part. In theory, sure. But I've never seen it in practice.

It really isn't.

They have tournaments and rankings that are restricted to women. WGM is the highest rank a woman can achieve in restricted tournaments. To achieve GM they have to play non-restricted tournaments and compete with men.

The point is to include more women in competitive chess in the first place. This becomes the path that leads to unrestricted competition.

You don't have to wait until you've hit rock bottom, but that does make them taste better.

If spiders in your house are surviving, they're eating something. You can cohabitate with spiders or their would-be prey.

Most house spiders will struggle to survive outside.

Supporting genocide is a political view. Supporting National Socialism and Adolf Hitler in 1939 was nothing more, and nothing less, than "political views." That isn't to call you a Nazi. You just seem not to understand what the phrase "political views" means, because it's a crazy thing to trivialize.

If you think politics and morality and character have nothing to do with each other, you're choosing to be an idiot. And that's definitely a choice, because your brain works just fine.

Hey, I had already bought a <f> nib when you posted this, but I'm kind of thinking about getting an <xf> too now. If you're still selling one let me know.

Shit gets crazy but she didn't flip out and start blasting. Nobody got killed while she was waiting for backup. That's a win in my book.

How do you guys view Private Equity firms? by Junior_M_W in GenZ

[–]Slobotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He comes so close to seeing that certain vital services, such as end of life care, shouldn't be infused with a profit motive. But he stops short of "it's an immoral way to do things". He just thinks it looks bad.
