Right? I’m sure he expected to immediately be a god at chess with no studying or practice, then got upset when that wasn’t the case.

My theory is that he’s frustrated that he can’t manage a team or pay someone to get better at it for him.

The humility it takes to be a beginner at something is uncomfortable when you have a huge ego.

I don’t know what he has against chess, but this is like the 3rd time I’ve seen him try to convince everyone that it’s pointless because of computers.

Yeah, I want to interact with people who are making/sharing stuff for the love of the game, not trying to be influencers or sell me something.

You can, but to me it feels different when you’re cutting yourself off from things intentionally vs when it was just the expected default.

Reverse image search is giving me nothing but a reddit thread where people were trying to figure out the same thing 3 years ago. They said that it looks like Skinner’s desk, so it’s a scene at the school.

I personally tire of the politics too, but there isn’t a “no politics” rule in lemmyshitpost, so it’s fair game. People have brought it up before, but it seems like the wider community prefers the less restrictive posting rules.

Don’t even joke about that

It’s bean too long.

“Minds moving freely” is a good way to put it. I also think when we stay cooped up inside too much, our minds get a bit contained too. The world feels smaller.

It’s a real phenomenon that when people isolate themselves, they start fixating on things that they wouldn’t have otherwise, sometimes getting paranoid or anxious.

Yeah, I’d probably hide in the walls this time. Maybe even the attic.

The universe wants peanut butter today, apparently.

Of course! But you lose your warranty because of corporate greed.

It’s a good word to learn. Thank you.

(excuse me, I just need to google something totally unrelated really quick…)

Ah, yes! It is indeed my eponymous maneuver.

Basically nobody would switch hands and aim with the other eye like that. You have a dominant hand and eye when shooting.

He could be ambidextrous, I guess, but it’s still very unnatural to do this.

(edit: and yes, the floating stock, lol)

It took me until the second play to realize what was wrong. What was he thinking??

At least if some burglar broke into your house, they’d be immediately entranced, and you’d be safe.

Here’s the formatting. Voyager makes it easy though. You just choose “spoiler” when writing a comment, and it sets it up for you.
