i took on e6 first, i think not taking on e6 is a bit enginy, the position is still in humans terms totally crushing here is the game

[Josh Steele @LingTolls]

This is what happens to philidor players. Friendly warning

@Putain_chienne @TheDarkDuchesss @CallConstantine @_Barfyman362_ @StartideProphet BMI understates risk on average so it is inaccurate in the opposite way people hope it is inaccurate lol.

@LingTolls A lot of secular people i know have this reverse view of Christians being puritanical joy kills. Like, no, they're just weird about their degeneracy, but hey god forgives.

[Josh Steele @LingTolls]

@Ohdejezeus 100 percent

[Josh Steele @LingTolls]

just dont pay attention to the average lifestyle of a christian and reference it to the average atheist. The biggest zealots i know are addicted to kratom and nicotine whereas i dont even drink lmfao

[ManifestDestiny @TheSoleWitness]

@Michaeldudufudu People took a deeper look into atheism and saw nothing but hedonism and cringe, now they turn to Christ

A real prodigal son moment fr

@the_fem_tm W men. Sluts are based and under appreciated.

[Josh Steele @LingTolls]

@KillallPikachus bayleef is also pretty alright.

[Josh Steele @LingTolls]

i think chikorita is a better design than meganium tbh

[WarriorPosting @FighterPosting]

Meganium hate is tied to the fact pokemon was a game played primarily by little boys. Little boys think spiky Gators and fire-bears are cooler than flower cucumber. This is because they are correct.

@davincimodern @levisback @carioca_88 He is cooked. He fell for online propaganda about women and now he will die lonely

@levisback I provide nothing but have love for days.

@EmmansZero @TheEfeDaniel @Foden47115 Any professional when choosing a line will look at the type of end game that results into them and then study how to play those end games if they like it. If they dont like the end game from the opening, they wont play it

[Josh Steele @LingTolls]

@EmmansZero @TheEfeDaniel @Foden47115 its people who study openings incorrectly and think its just for a line whereas you can actually just practice the same positions in the same middle and end games over and over again and get really good at them. a lot of players are lazy and dogmatic about what matters

[Josh Steele @LingTolls]

@TheEfeDaniel @Foden47115 @EmmansZero It can teach you *non theoretical* end games. Non table base stuff. Like specifically in some of my openings the way to play is to sac the c pawn for activity down the files. Non theory position, just a general plan you must know.

[Josh Steele @LingTolls]

@EmmansZero @TheEfeDaniel @Foden47115 Not a single professional doesnt study openings. It's required for your highest ceiling.

[Josh Steele @LingTolls]

@EmmansZero @TheEfeDaniel @Foden47115 Your ceiling gets capped if you refuse to study openings. Eventually you need to study them properly. All titled players know a fuckton of things. Ive seen Esserman play a 25 move theory game from a 1980s master game. If you dont mind if you stagnate, sure.
