@facetedcarapace a lot of the women at those places also have an OF and sometimes even do little shoots in the back, so for some guys it's like how meeting a fav pornstar at a convention makes jerking off to her porn more exciting cuz of the memory, can't be psychologically healthy tho longterm
@anishgiri@GMHikaru also the problem that there are a fixed set of 12ish situations that lend themselves to speculative sacrifices that Tal got to first and everyone already studied those games so in a way most superGMs are just shrugging "thats just sacrifice 7" and intuitively know the refutation
@absurdistoic Jobava seems pretty happy tbh so it might be a good thing if Gukesh stabilizes around 2570 or so and settles into coaching and being a beloved figure at regional tourneys
@Y2K_mindset I think Taylor could make a really good Nick Land influenced atmospheric industrial record with a lot of very intense pscyhosexual HR Geiger imagery provided she made clear it was from a lib "tech/ai bad!" perspective, and made frantic posts on her Instagram to clarify that
@JoyceCarolOates I think the difference might be that the women in Handmaids Tale actually saw the transition to dystopian fascism in real time vs. being born into a dystopia where they were pre conditioned to passively accept it
@GarlicCorgi@BrankoMilan I remember there was a movie that was on tv a lot growing up where a cute lady with huge boobs sang along to Waterloo in the shower after an implied one night stand and I was really disappointed when I downloaded it that there wasn't sex scene and shower nudity that had been cut
@Persian_chess I really noticed that during his candidates recaps in that he kept playing subpar moves that left him on the backfoot because he'd say "I should have played this but it's very sharp and I didn't want to get into all that" sorry but if you want to be WC you need to get into that
@alecrobbins I really hope the intention of the Porn Geek is "this guy clearly knows his porn and can recommend me some good stuff" and is not someone I am meant to personally identify as, Porn Dude is definitely aspirational but I need to work on my self confidence before I see myself in him
@TuttReal@Revue21_ the thing with him pushing the "20% of women have Onlyfans now" was my oh this guy is a fucking idiot fraud moment, there's clearly some overarching push to have a narrative of "all women are degenerate by nature and need to be resubjugated" that he's contributing to
@chess24com I crosschecked with my own analysis and databases and it's a move engines don't even begin to consider till 2007 so it's not something Ian will regret too much in the post game analysis, it's 3100 chess .com puzzle at the very least which is well outside the scope of classical
@anishgiri there's a lot of post 2023 positional ideas that made his traditional co-ordination methods easy to split his pieces apart, ironically most FM+ players with a couple recent chessable courses on navigating middlegames would probably have a similar position to Wesley vs the "goat"
@olimpiuurcan on one level I'm happy for Magnus but I cannot help but feel this is an ominous sign for Magnus losing his inner fire and competitive drive, if I was god I would have curse him with an unlikeable offputting ugly child to make Magnus seek solace and meaning on the 64 squares
@anishgiri@chessmonitor that sequence was a 2500 lichess puzzle at most, Magnus just did his classic thing where he checks 4 threads and if his almighty chess intuition tells him he's fine he just stops calculating and switches to endgame mode
