To reply to your earlier post, I naturally find "chess problems" more fun than actual chess, because of that element of ambiguity. Also because a full chess game takes a long time (and I am a snail, so blitz chess feels really rushed).
Sometime I want to git gud at a competitive game, though, just to see what it's like. I feel like it's a weak spot I have which could actually be fixed by playing more video games. Idk if it'll be chess or something like Age of Empires or Starcraft or w/e.

The only winning move is not to play (against an asshole).

This is what I struggled the most with, due to my perfectionism. My stepdad tried to teach me to "calculate," meaning to extrapolate like "I do this, you do this, etc." a bunch of steps. I had a mental block because I thought "how can I know that you'll do the things that make sense? What if you do something totally random? Do I have to calculate that too?"
A while ago, I told you about how I couldn't stand live-action shows or non-electronic music because "I couldn't stand the idea that the behavior of others was not precisely determined" and you said it was a psycho way to say a common thing and then I posted Patrick Bateman. Well I think this is part of the same thing.

Ah, that's pretty incredible.
By "git gud" I meant maybe breaking into the top 10000 at something :cirnolaughing: I had RTS games (or chess) in mind because I feel like that's a weak point of mine, which I want to prove to myself that I can improve.
I'm not sure what my strong points would be, physically or mentally. I think I have a talent for graphical (2d / 3d) reasoning, but my reflexes aren't great, and in recent years I've noticed that I get nauseous playing 3d first-person games on a screen. I've tried VR though: I like it a lot and it doesn't make me sick surprisingly.
BTW you've mentioned before that you stream your games sometimes, under the name CMD. I've been meaning to ask you for a link or something? I totally understand if you want to keep the identities separate though.

@renai Gm post tailored to me. This is like getting a personalized song from your favorite band.
Good evening to you! How’s it going?

@renai Nice!
I kind of like it, but I'm too perfectionistic to enjoy it. It's a long story:
As a little kid, when my stepdad first came into my life, we bonded over Doctor Who, Monty Python, Ancient Aliens, old-school trance music, and chess. He'd take my mom on a date and then we would all meet at a coffee shop where he would teach me chess. Espresso beans, swedish fish candies, and the French Defense are all linked in my memories of that time. I was good enough at the basics and the theory that I even went to a chess summer camp where I was the youngest student. I tagged along with my stepdad to some local chess tournaments. But I never got that good because I didn't deal well with competition. If I made a tiny mistake, I'd get mad at myself and throw the game away. My stepdad would analyze my games with me and say how I was winning at first, but then things went to shit in the end.
I have a better attitude about things these days. My perfectionism has been burned out of me by other things in life. Someday I'll maybe give chess another try, but idk when I'll have time for it because I think I'd get really into it.
Oh, when I was little, my stepdad bought this cool chess software for me so I could practice against bots and do tactics puzzles. Here's a pic of my favorite "set" in that software:

jokes on you, I only play solved games (I like to win) :blobsunglasses:

Honestly true for a lot of things. This must be why (American) colleges are always looking for "well-rounded individuals" as opposed to autists who excel in one domain. Of course, all progress depends on the autist and not the "gentleman."

Forget who this quote is by, but I like it: "Democracy is the belief that the people know what they want, and they deserve to get it long and hard."

Less flippantly, I wonder if she's considered how theories about Stonehenge fit into this picture. It's also been theorized to have been built by aliens, because it aligns with celestial features, because ancient tech would have a hard time moving those blocks, and because it feels like a seat of greater power than we associate with ancient people - even our own English brothers.
I'm still confused why mastodon accounts always have a shitton of followers and zero engagement.

@Hyolobrika @thor I interpret it as an argument for transition

@hidden Incredibly accurate post.

@hidden Humans are so cute. They're big and dumb and slow and think that I don't see them as they drag their colossal bodies through the underbrush. "What a cute ant," this one says, completely unaware that I am the strongest and oldest worker-warrior of my tribe. Then she says again, "adorable," as I jealously guard the juicy crumb I found, in case the cyclopean giant tries to take it from me. Finally she gets fed up and is like "I NEED TO GO WRITE A FEDI POST" and she goes on a huge sprint, leaving crushed branches in her wake.

If I open my laptop on the train, I always make sure to only have train-appropriate materials, such as:
"Young busty MILF gets railed hard."
"The idea of the 'conductor' in 1930s Germany."

Slightly facetious take: the theory of "bounded rationality," i.e. rationality bounded by the available computational resources, forces us to consider inanimate objects (e.g. rocks) as being rational, for they have no computation
