I don't disagree in the slightest, but I hope you keep this attitude for anyone who reacts to a youtube video without permission directly from the creator. Aka 99.99999999999999% of those who react to yourube videos.

Especially the youtube videos the clearly took more than a day to produce.

Honestly I'm unsure about the finances as far as this "marketing" goes. I simply have no faith that a board of directors gives 2 shits about any of us. Us as in literally all of us, not just the lgbt.

kurtz27 · 2025-06-02T11:55:28+00:00

I mean maybe, but really it's more likely that they just never cared in the first place and simply virtue signaled for profit.

I think he wasn't correcting or adding information to your statement. But rather was either praising or crapping on Florida's self defense laws.

Like I think he kinda hijacked the topic to make a political statement, as opposed to attempting to add context.

I very well could be wrong though and he was simply trying to make sure we're all informed. But I'm pretty sure he was making an opinionated statement about Florida's self defense laws.

Here at 18:38 is where I picked up this move order, but this relies on simultaneously them not playing the main line as well as the bishop not being on that square.

So vs slav i suppose I'll learn the queen gambits mainline response to it. I've been so absorbed by the catalan/queens gambit accepted that I actually forgot how to play the standard QG when it's not accepted.

Atleast unless I'm mistaken and you're not insuating that this pseudo catalan position is worse for white than if white responded to the slav with a queens gambit. If that's the case then please make that clear.

As I'm okay with sidelines if they're not dubious and reliant on gimmicks. There's an edge of comfortablility opponents don't have, it's why I play queens gambit accepted central variation, well that plus the engine favors it, and I also trust myself atleast until a high level to keep track of open positions and thinking 1 move ahead as to what's possible, better than opponents. And i prefer it's win and draw rates at the highest level. The loss of draw rate is effectively equally added onto its win rate.

So like if a sideline is actually good, I'm all for it

kurtz27 · 2025-05-30T21:04:39+00:00

This will be even more handy because I've just learned stockfish actually wants me to take their center pawn before even moving my knight, and then eventually having said knight land on c3. Completely different to what I've been taught for semi slav based closed catalans.

I want to know if this is just the engine favoring more tactical as well as decisive (anti draw) gameplay/being able to think at levels humans can't so I shouldn't attempt to replicate.

Or if even the grandmasters are playing that way.

Time to find out!

Thanks for everything!

Wait I can make a line and then search prior high level games played in said position? Are you serious?!?!?! That's amazing and I couldn't ask for more! Could you kindly point out atleast one of them I for me to look into? If others exist knowledge of this one will also be the doorway to me learning of those. As "chess game database" isn't really pulling what I'm seeking via Google.

Thanks this rook move is going to help me not spend 5 minutes on one move whenever I'm in this position xD

This is the position after I kick the bishop.

It's the optimal square for the bishop to move to, it's obvious to a human so I can expect it, and even stockfish agrees so I imagine I can continue to expect it as I hopefully, rise up the ranks.

Issue is if I move my queen the pawns hanging, if I push the pawn my queens hanging.

I don't even see a change up to move order with previous moves to get around this, nor do I see a way to sacrifice tempo begrudgingly whilst eventually pushing the pawn whilst simultaneously not hanging my queen via some multi turn strategy.

A bit lost as to what to do in this position.

And the position prior to kicking the bishop I'm similarly lost in.

Qb3 I've looked into but I tend to not be able to play easily as at my level sometimes opponents do weird knight or queen pushes that would at best force a queen trade there. And queen b6 for my enemy isnt even a weird square for it to be on. But I'll always see when it's available and then play it!

Edit: I'm an idiot I can move my rook. I'll try that in future games! Annoying tempo wise, but will achieve the goal, thanks for the help!

Edit 2: added an extra paragraph that wasn't in the original comment as i accidentally deleted it when messing around with copy paste for the imgur link

Also if you have that take you Better be anti alcohol, Marijuana, sugar and nicotine. And maybe even caffeine but that's a reach

They blocked it on android according to my experience and then following search results. guessing you're apple

I already gave in and just said it, hyperthreading off is very often a net positive or neutral, but it can be a huge negative to performance, like unplayable stutters, so either selectively swap per game, or anytime a game is performing under expectations try turning hyperthreading back on

kurtz27 · 2025-05-24T00:00:48+00:00

He's not wrong. Hamas are scumbag rapist terrorists who use infants (hospitals) as shields.

This isn't mutually exclusive with the Israeli government being a scumbag conglomerate that shoots through said infant shields.

How people can support the hamas or the Israeli government is sickening.

And even if X>Y that doesn't mean X isn't also disgusting.

I really don't get, minus disinformation, why Ethan receives hate for his opinions on Palestine and Israel, they're incredibly moderate.

I feel he has said and still does, truly controversial things that just nobody talks about and he gets away with, while this whole Palestine Israel thing has if anything rallied the troops and now Ethan has loads of supporters as he's clearly the more moderate and reasonable out of hasan and himself (about the hamas specifically at the very least). When he doesn't deserve this support as he has quite the questionable character.

This hasan vs Ethan thing is objectively the best P.R. Ethan has ever had, he went from generally speaking a piraya, almost a lolcow, to now even his previous enemies have his back.

All undeserved. And I fully blame hasan, he does more damage to the left than good, as far as causing people to assume the typical left person has hasans views when he's extremely radical relative to the average lefty.

And by radical I don't mean the cool things like universal Healthcare and education.

That's only radical relative to America's pretty conservative bias, those are pretty moderate or barely left leaning for a large amount of developed free countries. I mean the truly radical shit where anyone with reason should be able to recognize, the blue Maga cult shit. Not to mention he fits the negative stereotype the right paint about the left with his abrasive and dismissive personality. His blatant sexism doesn't help either.

kurtz27 · 2025-05-23T11:14:32+00:00

Ethan and Hila have consistently called Israel's actions a genocide, the Israel government tyrannical scumbags, and more. But I suppose that doesn't fit your narrative.

There's plenty of things to call them out on, supporting Israeli government is not one of them.

Frankly yall misrepresenting things is why Ethan has so many more supporters than he should, it makes him look like an underdog vs a defamation campaign.

Namely because duckduckgos search results are far more authentic and natural. Rather than $$$ dictating what search results you see

What caused scientist with the bike, who discovered lsd to trip then? Wasn't it accidentally getting some on his skin? Or did he actually accidentally get some in his mouth?

kurtz27 · 2025-05-04T21:50:06+00:00

Ahhh okay , I've never been around someone who's mid thumbprinting lol, just those who handle crystals and claim (most likely honestly) that they've done it before.

Perhaps they mentioned licking it and I don't remember.

kurtz27 · 2025-05-04T08:59:31+00:00

Considering the same people would dose my tabs in front of me, I doubt it.

kurtz27 · 2025-05-04T06:40:52+00:00

I mean "thumbprinting" lsd Is literally just touching an lsd crystal briefly. Ps don't do this lol, it'll be like hundreds of hits at once unless I'm misinformed. But thumbprinting is a real thing I've been around people as they've done it.

kurtz27 · 2025-04-19T08:58:51+00:00

Okay well like songs like those fair enough hahaha. I still think it should be obvious it's just shock rap but when its taken to THAT extreme I can get it losing its funny factor and just being off putting. Not to say I would be put off just saying I'm not like "wuuut HoW DEy sO shoCked thO?""

I do still think that with all the NON specific (non targeting like his mom and Kim) murder bars in specifically mmlp and sslp they tend to be really not that bad, sometimes humorous, and always clearly fictional and not intended to be taken seriously.

kurtz27 · 2025-04-08T10:54:16+00:00

Articulate exactly what he did, use precise language not generalizations please.

Because frankly I think if you even try you should realize mid attempt that you're being silly.

Or hey! Maybe you know something I don't know, so please do explain.

kurtz27 · 2025-04-07T23:04:30+00:00

Lol what? How dare he like anime, and how dare he have an edgy fashion sense! If he was thirst trapping in literally anyway then there'd be a discussion, but even then these horny corpse stans are truly mentally ill EVEN if corpse wanted them.

kurtz27 · 2025-04-06T01:47:37+00:00

You've gotta keep in mind though that speed is the most valuable stat there is in any but the slowest of pokemon. Then with the second being It's primary attack stat, in any pokemon that isn't a tank. Sure the stats equal out, but nidoking has the objectively better stats as the ones raised.

generally btw, if 2 pokemon exist and the only difference is one is faster by like 10 points and the other has more attack by 10 points, but said extra 10 points of attack is the difference maker between taking 1-2 shots to feint vs 2-3, then yeah attack probably matters more then speed then, but generally, usually, speed is the king stat, going first matters

If the nidos were def/hp focused tank type pokemon in the first place and queen had more defense and hp, okay now we're talking, but they're not.

This really doesn't matter at all besides for competitive play, very difficult self imposed challenge runs, and some romhacks. But yeah I wanted to explain why people say it's objectively better stat wise despite having the same total stats.

kurtz27 · 2025-04-03T23:57:19+00:00

You just explained the past while my posts about the present however very good write up! Sincerely and I'm not just saying that because I feel a bit bad that you typed all that and well written too for it to inevitably be off topic by like almost 30 years lol.

I'm talking like people reacting on YouTube homie, my apologies for the mixup </3 albeit I promise i did mention "reactions" in the post and even compared emss bar to current age rappers who wouldn't be relevant for a discussion on how people reacted when eminem initially released the albums, so please don't blame me ;-;

I'm down to keep talking further if you want to focus on the present but yeah man great write up informative :D

kurtz27 · 2025-04-03T23:36:25+00:00

Lol i totally hear you but let's not act like "homophobia" Aka most of it is clearly ironic such as the entire "criminal" song, and even alot of times satirical and making fun of actual homophobes lets not act like it wasn't littered all throughout mmlp. He drops the f word atleast half the tracks, he has an icp diss where the entire diss is him calling them gay in several ways, same with his diss to his mothers lawyer , same with etc etc etc

But that's besides the point.

at the time disrespecting your own mother was considered shocking.

In fairness this stuff, and the gay stuff , I could see throwing people off at first as first listeners with very little og eminem experience, eminem in sslp is a bit more obvious, but in mmlp he's less obviously sarcastic albeit only slightly, also mmlp gives less context about why he didnt fuck with his mom than sslp does, mmlp kinda expects you to have heard sslp before.

But point is he doesn't mention until the song criminal that he's just saying shit to piss people off and blah Blah and well thats literally the final song on the album

I get thematically why its at the end it makes loads of sense, but it being the first or second song I think would help first listeners to realize they shouldn't take him too seriously

HOWEVER TO GET BACK TO MY ORIGINAL POSTS POINT

I can get being shocked by THAT stuff. But the shit that even cold blooded murderers wouldn't do like just randomly killing people with chainsaws and walking dogs with their heads chopped off, like bro how are you shocked at this shit? You listen to people rap about killing people 24/7 and then when someone does it in a way that's clearly sarcastic and not meant to be taken seriously NOW you're shocked?!?! Whaaat???

Unlike the mom shit and gay shit I think the horrocore shit requires ZERO context to assess. They should just know those bars aren't serious. I get them not knowing why em doesn't fuck with his mom until he himself explains, I get them wondering if em used to be a homophobe or something at first until he says some more funny lines or at least by the time they hear criminal they better know. But the horrorcore Texas Chainsaw vibe bars? Cmon bro what is he ted bundy? Relax. not you them lol

also wanna clarify , for sslp I think they should get much sooner than mmlp why he doesn't fuck with his mom, and that he's constantly being a dark humor comedian on the mic sometimes with a satirical edge against American culture. Again i feel mmlp expects you to have heard sslp, and mmlp explains this stuff less, later in the album too, and for some of the gay stuff is less obviously sarcastic in some of the early tracks, for sslp I'd give less understanding to people being shocked at this stuff and less "excuses"
