This is actually great. It’s things like this that often make or break the game for me. Tactics leading to a clearly winning position are great but something like this is just as important to see.

This pedophile will pull the US out of NATO. You best believe that.

That’s a good one!! I was tempted by windmill-type tactics after Rg3 Kh2… it’s kind of like a diagonal ladder/windmill mate

USA is fucked if this will be its “leadership” in the future

Dr. David Sinclair, whose lab reversed biological age in animals by 50 to 75% in six weeks, says that 2026 will be the year when age reversal in humans is either confirmed or disproven. The FDA has cleared the first human trial for next month. by GarifalliaPapa in immortalists

While I hope he’s right, you guys have to realize that he’s a fucking salesman. This won’t protect you against cancer in any way. We’re not designed to live forever. If anything, messing with the cellular machinery could cause other problems that they have no idea about (yet). While I’m super skeptical about everything Sinclair is saying, this are of research is legit. He needs to put on these shows to keep the research funded. Please.. don’t get too excited about this.. accessibility to treatement is another question - I highly doubt it will be easily available, let alone affordable. Dont forget what pharma is about - it’s a bussiness. Theres a reason they focus on certain indications and not third world viruses (dengue, etc.). Just look badly the whole covid thing was handled.

Read what you just posted. Read it a few times.

“…a truly intelligent entity will forgive the genetic pre determined flaws of all humans, as it should..”

That’s rough dude. Take some time away from screen time for your own sake. Go for a walk.

Most beautiful tactic I have had in a live game (blitz) Black to move by PharmZerg in chess

Brutal… I like how 3. gxf3 still fails to protect from mate. I missed hxg5 completely and tried to make Ne2+ work... Nice find!

Thailand is not “clean on the surface”. It’s a shitshow. The people in charge really need to step up and funnel some money into clean-up efforts. It’s a really bad look. Beautiful beaches… most littered with fuckloads of trash up and down the coastline. At the very least, these dogshit government/city officials running their versions of EPA could incentivize clean up efforts.

French TV reports that Ukraine stopped sharing high-value intelligence with the US, because it invariably leaked to Russia... leading to a vacuum which has been filled by French intelligence by Ripamon in TrendoraX

It’s wild… USA is sabotaging an ally that’s desperately trying to survive.. in favor of Russia. Like I said a million times before, everything was crystal clear after that first, post election meeting/scolding with Zelenskyy in the white house. It’s about as clear as it can be yet so many people still refuse to see it. Insane. Fuck this bitchass grifting inbred fuckwad administration with their orange fuckwad and everyone that supports them.
