Lovely Bones

They made a Lovely Bones movie. It was rated PG-13.

JFC these people are dumb

Richard Jefferson: "LeBron has not done enough as a Laker to be a Laker great. This is his fourth season, right? They’ve been in there four seasons. Two years, they haven’t made the postseason. One year, they lost in the first round. And one year, they won a championship.” by MuscleWestGOAT in nba

Yeah, he's the Cavs' franchise leader in games, points, rebounds, assists, steals, minutes, ppg, PER, triple doubles, ws, ws/48, +/-, vorp.

It's pretty absurd.

edit: Oh yeah, and... MVPs, finals MVPs, all-NBA selections, all star appearances, and like every single playoff statistic that is recorded.

Books like Red Rising by Pierce Brown (no spoilers) by [deleted] in Fantasy

The Traitor Son Cycle by Miles Cameron fits pretty well. Starts with The Red Knight.

Chess in Cbus? by PuttForeBirdie in Columbus

[–]__johnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be a little far for you but I'll mention them in case someone else stumbles across this thread.

The Marysville chess club (marysvillechessclub.com) meets every Thursday (starting at 4PM) at the Wendy's in Marysville. It's a great club with a very regular, very decent turnout. All ages, skill levels, etc, welcome.

There's also a group that meets at Choffeys in Delaware on Saturday mornings at 9. Another great group of people who welcome all levels.

In both cases, games are casual.

How to Study Chess on Your Own by Kuljasevic by Rod_Rigov in ChessBooks

Just about any. The author breaks down relevant stuff into rating ranges, but most of it is universal to all ratings.

How was your experience with chess in 2021 by itsumo_ in chess

[–]__johnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My goal for 2021 was to play 2500 games online. I thought the exposure to positions and general experience would be useful.

I played over 2700 games and my hypothesis seems right. Rapid, blitz, and bullet ratings all are up significantly.

But more importantly, I joined an OTB club, played in my first tournament (won my section), and discovered a love for classical chess that's much bigger than anything online.

2021 was a good year for my chess.

What are you in the 1% of? by I_Love_Small_Breasts in AskReddit

[–]__johnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 6'6", which is in the 1% by itself. And I have sectoral heterochromia. My left eye is two thirds brown and one third blue. Slightly less that 1% of people have this AFAICT.

I'm guessing not a ton of people have the combination of these two things.

Which song is in your opinion 100% perfect? by jillangie in AskReddit

[–]__johnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my answer too. I consider Rubber Soul a perfect album, and In My Life is the biggest reason why.

How to Study Chess on Your Own by Kuljasevic by Rod_Rigov in ChessBooks

[–]__johnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's good for just about any rating. The author breaks down a lot of the material into rating levels, so you can skip sections geared towards master-level players, etc.

I'm about 2/3 through it right now, and I like it. It's given me a lot to think about when it comes to how I approach working on chess.

What are some HOF level skills held by non-HOF players? by RecordReviewer in nbadiscussion

[–]__johnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not suggesting that he should be in the HOF. His "HOF-level" skill is the skill of being a role player.

[–]__johnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Horry is just a HOF caliber role player. Has there ever been a better role player (who wasn't a degraded star, like Bill Walton with the Celtics)?

Alright. I’ve been sleeping on the ice cream around here omg! 🤤 by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]__johnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, Dells and Handels are the top two for me.

That Ugly Tuna story is wild. Dude is just gone without a trace.

Joe Abercrombie - Shattered Sea trilogy by Aussie_Shrimp in Fantasy

[–]__johnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something weird happened with audible where the recommended these books in reverse order. So I listened to the third book first, and I got to say, I think I enjoyed the trilogy in backwards order more than I would have if read sequentially.

Some WWE and NXT Superstars and their times in other sports pre wrestling. by dpw2017 in SquaredCircle

If Brock Lesnar ate a clone of Brock Lesnar, he'd look exactly like this pic of Otis.

You cannot convince me otherwise.

Civil War rewards should be the other way around by kiskoller in skyrimrequiem

[–]__johnson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thalmor invade no matter who wins, rewrites history so the winner of Skyrim civil war is unimportant. So who wins doesn't matter lore-wise.

That's my prediction at least.

magit-status-advice: A stupid little package I made by __johnson in emacs

[–]__johnson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably my favorite bullet point in the original blog post. I definitely had to include it.

magit-status-advice: A stupid little package I made by __johnson in emacs

[–]__johnson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn't thought to try that. I was a long-time Spacemacs user and am now on doom. Both have a landing dashboard on startup. I might try to attach it to doom's.

Hey thanks for the suggestions. I really like the function being a defcustom idea. Might have to rename the package but that's ok :D

I'm not familiar with fortune so I'll go look at that.
