@banter_po I'd rather spend my time on things that make me money na pambili ng BINI concert tix or merch, etc.

Nakakatamad mga voting-voting na 'yan. Pakiramdam ko sayang oras ko.

"For your penance, pray 3 Hail Mary's..."
"Father, could you give me a more appropriate penance?"
"Very well. Go be crucified, die, and go to hell."
"Oh, I can't do that."
"No? Then go pray your Hail Mary's. The work has already been done."

Pope Leo XIV warns about porn addiction and the “almost constant presence” of young people online.

“These phenomena are most often a symptom of the mental or inner distress of the individual and a social decline in values and positive examples.”

Starting this year, the winner of the annual Speed Chess Championship will be awarded the Naroditsky Cup.

The cup will have the winners of previous years engraved on it and become the permanent trophy of the SCC.

The silence is deafening

As the days pass with little to no actions, I become more concerned that FIDE will be successful in it's attempt to sweep Danya's passing (and it's cause) under the rug. So far FIDE has made one statement: a call for an internal investigation. The CEO of FIDE has a message accusing Daniel's friends for his death still posted. Kramnik continues to post threats, denials, and accusations.

The silence from far too many of Danya's peers is deafening. I have attempted to reach out to multiple other players to discuss tangible ways to put pressure on FIDE moving forward and the response, in every single case, has been effectively the same "it's pointless unless Magnus joins, FIDE is too strong".

That isn't good enough. We, as a community, MUST do better to honor Danya and to prevent further tragedies. What Kramnik was allowed to do, directly under FIDE's supervision, must have repercussions. A 3rd party investigation must take place. Changes must be made for the future safety of all chess players.

We need players boycotting FIDE events until this investigation takes place and real changes are made. We need sponsors to make it clear they do not want to be associated with an organization that allows systematic failures related to harassment and abuse.

My platform is small and there is only so much I can do, if you see this tag/reach out to GM's, sponsors of upcoming tournaments, and related parties. Let your voice be heard. Let the players know that you will support them standing up to FIDE. We can not let them continue to move forward as if nothing happened.

Hindi na ikaw ang esemyu na nakalakihan ko. Kapag may unequivocal stance ang simbahan (diocese) may call to movement na nagsisimula galing sa admin mismo ng uni. Parang ang tahimik na ngayon? Sekular na ba masyado ang 'ca.tholic' school natin? Hmmmm

Protestants decided the Eucharist was just a symbol 1500 years later.

Meanwhile, St. Ignatius of Antioch was a disciple of John the Apostle who was present at the Last Supper.

This is what St. Ignatius said about the Eucharist only 70 years after Christ’s crucifixion:

Anima Christi, sanctifica me. Corpus Christi, salva me. Sanguis Christi, inebria me. Aqua lateris Christi, lava me. Passio Christi, conforta me.

Ang Easter ang pinakadakilang pistang Kristiyano, di ang Pasko. Sa Pasko, naging tao ang Diyos; sa Easter, nabuhay na muli ang Diyos matapos ialay ang sarili. Binubura ng muling pagkabuhay ang takot natin sa kamatayan at paghahandog ng sarili. Muli't muli tayong mabubuhay.
