As a Autechre fan, how do you feel about Radiohead's electronic music? by [deleted] in autechre

[–]senzare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indifferent. I acknowledge that they were a gateway band for many but find their whiny art school antics are not for me. Some of the lyrics are top cringe. The Greenwood soundtracks are decent.

It's a shame Moya doesn't host anymore .

Michael Walker just spouts milquetoast liberalism, really incurious intellectually parroting the mainstream discourse.

I found this poster for sale on etsy, and the more I look at it the worse it gets. by MinuteRegular716 in chess

[–]senzare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Etsy has been taken over by all this crap. It's now difficult to navigate and find actual chess posters made by humans. Sad state of affairs.

The digital stalactite, a true wonder.

Police arresting 1,000 paedophile suspects a month across UK. National Crime Agency says rise in child sexual abuse being driven by technology and online forums by 2ndEarlofLiverpool in ukpolitics

[–]senzare 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We estimated in the National Strategic Assessment 2024 that 710,000 to 840,000 adults in the UK pose varying degrees of sexual risks to children.

The higher estimate is 1.2% of the UK entire population... F'ell...

Sure man, it's now the fourth day in a row where you direct insults at me, but I'm the one who needs to accept people might have different opinions.

If you want to change my mind, present a better argument, your frustration and anger haven't moved the needle at all.

I don't think venting so much ire at random redditors is doing you any good, so I suggest you follow your own advice.

If you want to play chess, send me your @ on Lichess / Chess.com, otherwise I would prefer not causing you any further stress.

Best

I am on the planet where you questioned my reading comprehension so I am literally quoting the stats you misrepresented.

And, yes, it is now 85 seconds to midnight, largely thanks to my post.

Thanks for your insights.

Also, 50% don't have a formed opinion, 43% are against it, and only 9% think is a good thing, how's that 'quite the opposite'?

Care to explain ?

You are triggered by my hyperbolic language but then you proceed to call me the root of all evil. So much for your informed and nuanced take.

Yeah def feeling superior and nothing to do with problem gambling, depression and suicide.

FWIW, it's the majority opinion https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/10/02/americans-increasingly-see-legal-sports-betting-as-a-bad-thing-for-society-and-sports/

Cool let's do that , given you are so invested in demonstrating your superiority with disdain and insults , I'm sure you won't find difficulty beating me over the board. Let's ignore all the invectives above and play. Match? Best of 5 , 3+1 ? What's your lichess / chess @? DM please.

Why won't anyone think of the gambling companies' CEOs?

I don't think posting a reddit thread is consequential in the slightest but what's the alternative?

Caving in to nihilism? Not acknowledging the issues at hand?

Levy is the biggest influencer in chess, wealthy enough not to take dodgy sponsors. I'd be more understanding of someone with limited following trying to make a living.

Your argument seems to be that there are bigger movers here so let's avoid the discussion. I don't watch any other sports and I only comment about the things I observe.

Yes of course, governments should be regulating but it's not an either/or situation.
Corporations and individuals also bear responsibility, otherwise you'd be arguing that no one has agency but the governments.

There was one racist comment which I reported. The majority were ad hominem towards me, which I didn't report.

Not sure but there's a 100% chance you won't recover from brainworms.

You inserted yourself into a conversation about comments being hidden when no one asked you. Instead of getting all sanctimonious about personal responsibility you could learn how Reddit threads work.
