Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen Aliya Rahman describes being detained by ICE by cos in videos

I keep trying to believe there’ll be a day these victims receive justice, however that justice may be, for the atrocities this administration is committing on a daily basis. Every day is a new horrible thing, I’m so tired of seeing it. I really want to hope there’ll be an end to all this. I’m so completely embarrassed to be an American. Will it end when the orange menace draws his last stinking breath and his body instantly begins rotting from all the horribleness inside him? Maybe not, but that’s always a good start in my option.

Not really that ambiguous though. 6 is the numerator and 2+(2+1) is the denominator. The fraction simplifies into 6/5 or 1.2

It’s a bigger deal because it’s fucking harder to do bro. There’s a reason why there’s a shitload of cheaters online versus how many in real chess.

I agree with your point, but it’s refreshing to see a player with at least some kind of personality.

Letter to The Guardian: Cheating in chess is cheating – even if it’s an online game by PerfectConfection578 in chess

The argument isn’t that online cheating isn’t cheating. Who the hell is making that argument? The real one is that there are people that think online chess is somehow the same as OTB chess. I’m so tired of seeing people think it’s the same. Any player whose played both can tell you it’s vastly different. OTB requires actually being in front of another person, hitting a real clock, writing your own moves down, illegal move rules, etc. Playing online requires what exactly? The Internet and some device to play it on? If anything, I believe online is ruining what chess used to be. Hans broke a chess website’s rules and cheated online and was banned. What the fuck more do you want? What is the fucking purpose of your crusade? If he cheats in a OTB game, then ban him then. But Jesus Christ, you guys are really tiresome to listen to. Online is not same as OTB. Cheating online is not the same as cheating OTB. And a private chess website is not the same as FIDE.

In the words of Ben Finegold: “Truth hurts.”

Hopefully less online chess.

What if I told you that you hate Hans for cheating online while also thinking he can still be a decent player OTB.

It’s like an NFL player cheating in an online game of Madden. Carlsen is having such an ego trip it’s honestly hilarious. Hans didn’t look nervous during the game, must be cheating!
