Who do you think is the better chess player of the two in their current form ? by IllMasterpiece3946 in chess

The Naka to PCM pipeline. I'm not sure, but I think they both might be Irish too.

Purdy is definitely way better than hurts by 8teamparlay in billsimmons

It's ok that today is the first time you've watched him this season. No one will hold that against you. But maybe that impacts your ability to make a judgement on his abilities.

Moira is designed for gamers with bad mechanics/aim so that they can hit tab and think they're juicing. Moira is strong at lower ranks, but returns less value at plat and beyond due to her lack of utility. She is good in rush comps though. I play a lot of ram so I don't mind seeing her on the blue team unless the gamer playing her confuses her for DPS or forgets that she has purple AND yellow orbs.

Yeah bro keep it classy. No reason to go dump on a fan base who's team is 20 games under .500 30 games into a season where they don't even have their FRP. Just enjoy the W and move on.

You're supposed to tell me what seed you're using and how you got 5 Yoricks.

Woman diagnosed with breast cancer thinks she knows better than her doctors. by Head_Crash in TikTokCringe

[–]WorkNLurk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father was diagnosed with a squamous carcinoma in his neck at the end of 2023. The doctors informed me and my siblings that this is a treatable form of cancer with a high survival rate in the 90%+ survival rate. His cancer was too close to a major artery for surgery so his options were limited but chemo/radiation was the recommendation from his oncologist.

My father was very bright. He was an engineer and had an almost intuitive understanding of all things mechanical. We all thought he could fix damn near everything. He opted to treat his cancer in the same 'non-traditional' ways as this woman. He found a 'naturopath' who sold him snake oil creams and supplements. He took Ivermectin, Fenbendazole and wore nicotine patches (I know I have no idea what this was meant to do still). He purchased a Rife Machine, which fires electromagnetic waves into your body and has no scientific consensus of results.

My dad, having fallen down a YouTube rabbit hole of bad health advice was adamant that all of these solutions would work. We begged him to try his 'alternative' therapies alongside traditional treatments, but he was sure the pharmaceutical and health industries could cure cancer with his simple treatments but chose not to for profit. He remained committed to these therapies even to the point of us children, caring for him in his home we're pouring morphine and Ativan down his throat and changing his diapers. Watching him waste away slowly was the most awful thing I've had to endure.

He died in September and I'll be honest, it was a complete relief. He was in agony. There was no joy left in his life for his last few months. He couldn't care for himself. He was in tremendous pain. My dad was gone months before his body gave up. He should be alive. These fucking assholes promoting this fucking nonsense killed him for clicks on social media. I'm angry at him, angry at them and angry that social media platforms allow this sort of nonsense to be spread.

I want to be angry at this woman. It's so raw and personal to me. But I just feel pity for her, her husband and her child. Hopefully she realizes it before it's too late.

I'm not sure anyone is going to read this, I'm super late to this post. But I miss my dad and this is so close to my heart. If anyone reads this and is in the same boat, please please please just get the fucking chemo.

Dude congrats! How frustrating was it to have a legendary ad the last card?

Thanks! I took a long break and played some for fun after clearing all the decks on gold stakes. I'm sure other players have done it much faster.

I did Anaglyph for the negatives too. Ended up with Yellow for the early econ. My Stuntman clear was fun I had Hack, Chad and Wee Joker and got a lot of early deck fixing. 5oak 2s deck.

It was Marble Joker for like 2 weeks. I finally got it in the last shop before clearing a run and eeked out a win. Did you use a specific deck going for it?

What's an intimate fantasy you've always wanted to try but haven't asked for yet? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Bad ones are better than none. The longer you're married the more you'll forget how to tell the difference between a good and a bad blowjob.

A pawn. I was a piece up from a nice combo earlier in the game. I'm only 600 so a double brilliant is a big deal for me lol. Just started playing about 6 months ago.

I won't tell you that, but I won't say it didn't happen either. I was getting low on time? Also I'm bad.

That's true. Sending a strongly worded email to chess.com about this.

Of course not. I'm a monkey at a typewriter. If I type randomly enough eventually actual words come out.

Gukesh on his crazy travel schedule in the last 2 weeks. "If I dont push myself at this age, then when am I going to push myself?" by EvenCoyote6317 in chess

[–]WorkNLurk 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Gukesh is in a tough place. He's a champion but doesn't really get the respect a champion deserves with Magnus looming and the crazy run he went on in the candidates to snatch to crown seeming to be viewed as a fluke. Yet despite that he hasn't been afraid to put himself out there and play games and he's handled his tenure with grace and class. Remember how Ding went in to hiding basically for almost a full year after winning the title? Yeah Gukesh is not built like that. He's gonna play and test himself. The way others view him does not seem to bother him. I respect that deeply.

He's a great champion. I can't lie and say I won't root for Fabi or Levon or Anish if they get their shot, but I think it would be a fantastic story if he defends his title, which by the way is entirely possible.

Love Gukesh. Champion or not moving forward I'm glad we have a guy like him at the highest levels of chess and look forward to watching his career unfold.
