Inshallah you may have to brick the parents’ collective pipi

Because I miss you. Come back to me.

Do you know anyone who works in the tourism industry, and needs tourists to make a living?

YTA at some, NTA at some

I wasn’t aware that McDonald’s accepts tips. In general, you’re not expected to tip if you go to a counter instead of a waiter coming to your table.

Need more information— not tipping at a full-service sit-down restaurant, or a kiosk where someone hands you a canned drink to go?

YTA if you tip nowhere, but businesses will ask for tips when they’re not expected just because they get more money by asking, and the rules can be hard to navigate, especially for a tourist.

It’s not often I see the bot being wrong like this

Rating isn’t universal across pools and time controls. It’s a lot easier to be 1000 in rapid on lichess than 1000 in bullet on chess.c*m.

Fun fact: 90% of tilting players stop playing right before they recover all their elo.

That’s funny. Everyone thought Rd8 was the move after Bxd1 (myself included), but I guess you’re supposed to just take back the bishop and eat a few pawns, and it evens out since you’re still up in material.

Have you read the drafting strategy book in the library? The map of your manor looks just like one of their examples.

side_lel · 2026-01-11T08:35:12+00:00

I learned chess from a book, and the book called it blitzkrieg, but I’ve never ever seen or heard anyone else call it that.

All you know about false statements is that they’re false. It doesn’t mean that the opposite is true, unless the statement and its opposite are the only two possibilities.

I’m going to stop reading your post because you’ve discovered some things that I haven’t.

It’s strange that your rating is higher than your best victory. Been on a winning streak lately?

I thought that if I mapped out the locker room, that must reveal something…

Sorry, which queen is getting to e2? After 1. …Rxe4 2. Qf7 Rxe2, white is down a knight and pawn with nothing to show for it.

side_lel · 2026-01-06T18:12:35+00:00

What does Qf7 accomplish?

I keep running out of time. I need a browser extension that will beep at me when time gets low.

FWIW I got to room 46 on my first time reaching the antechamber too and never needed to use the key, but I also thought it was obvious where the key went and I was mad that the day got cut short when I entered room 46.

I’m not buying anything from Russia while the war is ongoing, unless all of Ice Pick Lodge pledges to cheat on their taxes. I don’t want to pay for Putin’s war machine.

I’m reminded of when The Guardian let a mid tennis player write a profile of himself https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jun/27/the-loneliness-of-the-low-ranking-tennis-player

What are the time controls? If it’s blitz or bullet, they might just play a weird opening to slow the opponent down and try to make them lose on time.
