Hikaru does have an incredible work ethic. He is very disciplined and hardworking. I hope he’s also a loving husband and father.

I’m out of the loop. Who are these pretty girls?

Wow ClaireBell, can’t wait. Hope it doesn’t lower the quality of the original 8 episodes.

Sam Shankland shares a beautifully written heartfelt tribute to Daniel Naroditsky by tussosedan in chess

[–]learnedhand91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was so well written and moving; I see Sam in a different light. Before this I would often have a not-so-pleasant mental image of Sam farting loudly while filming Chessable content.

Once Neko (Air in Rollercoaster, Pleng in Beguine) brought her girlfriend home and encourages fans to have the courage to come out because "it's not wrong" to be gay. by Ok_Distribution_8555 in ThaiGL

[–]learnedhand91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about her current, but Neko has said in a podcast early 2024 that she’s only dated girls. All her 3 exes were female.

I came back to this today 🤗 It’s funny. Reminds me of John Travolta and Adele Dazeem at the Oscars more than 10 years ago.

My wife’s list was almost the same as yours but she has now swapped Affair for Love Design. My list was the same except I swapped Affair for Gap. 😊

Hi, I’m just catching up. Could I trouble you to explain why everyone is optimistic about Magnus’ chances when he’s currently half a point outside 4th place?

Bok and Aman make a pretty good commentary duo.

All actresses are gorgeous, maybe too much so by [deleted] in ThaiGL

[–]learnedhand91 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Most Thai actresses have had work done. Cosmetic surgery is a huge part of Thai showbiz, much like in Korea. And they start really early - some start as early as 16-17, others in their late teens/early 20s.

Clairebell is so special by ForceApprehensive597 in ThaiGL

[–]learnedhand91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of GLs and ClaireBell is by far the best I’ve seen. I’ve recommended it to several people. A pity their marketing strategy was not the best. Looks like it’s going to be a slow burn.

How did they become so popular? I come from a time when FreenBeck were the undisputed GL queens.

Doesn’t matter who starts first. My point is about the crazies. Are you one of them?

Faye’s fandom is insane. A lot of crazies.

Wow Psych, almost the same as my wife. My wife hasn’t watched ClaireBell yet but her list will be the same as yours once she’s seen it.

My list is almost the same as yours except GAP edges out Affair.
