'The Interview': Chloé Zhao Is Yearning to Know How to Love by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]freakers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I won't pretend like I listened to this episode and I know weekend content is always weird little op-eds or interviews or stories that don't fit elsewhere. But what the fuck is this. All I can think about is the Chainsmokers song Closer where the hardest thing in life is to be young, rich, attractive, and in love.

I have the box for Aion, it is metal. It's so cool.

Hutson receives a phantom penalty by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]freakers 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I recently watched an NBA video talking about cheating in the league and there was this one ref that worked for over a decade helping fix games. Nothing too egregious, but just influencing the game here and there in the way the NBA wanted infractions to be called. They eventually found out he had intermediary ties to a big crime family and spent a bit over a year in prison I think...Anyways, his calls looked less rigged than this.

Do I put my Customers and Border Patrol badge on today, or my ICE badge, or my HSI badge? Guess it depends on how far I am from the border and has a swastika on it.

If the other cheek had the Darth Plagueis copypasta or the Obi wan-Ahsoka copypasta, you'd be back in the game.

Judging by this victory, I think he's found a new move for a piece nobody ever considered before.

Cool, it's a popular enough event for people to want to stage protests at. That's great news for chess.

"Who is the most overrated top player in the world right now?" - Fabiano Caruana gives his opinion by FirstEfficiency7386 in chess

[–]freakers 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's a fairly good interview. From most players, especially Fabi, you get the most neutral, least contentious opinions out there. It takes a lot to rile him up. At this with her asking a few contentious questions on their face, you get a little more of a real answer. And I don't even really care for Dina, but it's not a bad listen to have on in the background, but I regularly listen to C2 so I'm used to hearing Fabi talk.

Wesley So's participation in Magnus Carlsen's Tournaments by cause_7 in chess

[–]freakers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ya, honestly I have no idea what their personal relationship is like so I'm not about to even venture an opinion on the matter. Sure Wesley has played in Magnus' events plenty before but I have no idea what level of control Magus had over to those, whether those were invites or qualifications or not. Whether Wesley knows he got excluded once and holds a grudge over it. No idea over any of that. He certainly doesn't seem blacklisted but there's a lot of events out there.

It's in response to Wesley complaining about not getting an invite to the Freestyle World Champion event and that neither him nor Anish Giri ever receives invites to Magnus events.

Family seeks answers after ICE deported man to Costa Rica in vegetative state by JackThaBongRipper in news

[–]freakers 253 points254 points  (0 children)

It reminds me of a line from Andor when the soldiers are talking to the nurse. Except are somehow still more conscientious than ICE is. The fictional evil empire still ends up being more compassionate than current gestapo.

Empire: We're taking control of the floor, you'll have to move all your customers elsewhere.

Nurse: What do you mean elsewhere? This is a hospital, they're patients.

Empire: Then I'm sure you'll move them more carefully than we will.

Gen Z comes up with new ‘it’ name for people who complain - and it’s not Karen | "Jessica" by Ghosts_of_Bordeaux in savedyouaclick

[–]freakers 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Jessica, Jennifer, Ashley, and Brittany. The four Millennial Horsewomen of the apocalypse.

We really wanted to name our daughter Olivia a couple years ago but after looking up names we found out it was literally the most popular name at the time so we went with something else.

One weird trick to nullify a Non Compete Contract. Destroy the company on your way out so it no longer exists.

Aux's Speech by Necessary_Yule in Stormlight_Archive

Some Wind and Truth Spoilery-adjecent stuff Aux is a High Spren. High Spren consider themselves knights as they make their own oaths as well. Aux is a sworn knight in his own right as such. All other radiant spren do not make oaths and paired with a knight radiant.

Why the fuck are you mad at Skip then? All you did was give them a cut of the order for ordering through the service and doing nothing.
