Is the chess community nice?

It’s been time for a rebellion for years, the populace just needs to collectively realize and acknowledge it

It’s tough because we’ve had “free” for so long of so many services. But I honestly think yes, as long as it was something very low like $5/month at most.

I am in need of an explanation, Captain.

Capitalism doesn’t work that way

It’s a whale egg

You might enjoy “The Surge” 1 and 2, they’re souls-like in gameplay but in a more industrial-punk atmosphere. There’s also the “Darksiders” games, I enjoyed all 3 of them. They’re action-RPGs, but “Darksiders 3” is closest to a souls-like. “Remnant: From the Ashes” and “Remnant 2” are also very good fun.

Well sure, but if it was real it would be a horrifying way to die. I imagine akin to being burned at the stake in a way.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazen_bull

"The brazen bull … was an alleged torture and execution device designed in ancient Greece. … The bull was said to be hollow and made entirely out of bronze with a door in one side. According to legends, the brazen bull was designed in the form and size of an actual bull and had an acoustic apparatus that converted screams into the sound of a bull. The condemned were locked inside the device, and a fire was set under it, heating the metal until the person inside was roasted to death.

“Stories allege after finishing construction on the execution device, Perilaus said to Phalaris: “His screams will come to you through the pipes as the tenderest, most pathetic, most melodious of bellowings.” Perilaus believed he would receive a reward for his invention. Instead, Phalaris, who was disgusted by these words, ordered its horn sound system to be tested by Perilaus himself, tricking him into getting in the bull. When Perilaus entered, he was immediately locked in and the fire was set, so that Phalaris could hear the sound of his screams. Before Perilaus could die, Phalaris opened the door and took him away. After freeing him from the bull, Phalaris is then said to have taken Perilaus to the top of a hill and thrown him off, killing him. Phalaris himself is claimed to have been killed in the brazen bull when he was overthrown by Telemachus, the ancestor of Theron.”

“U-turn” isn’t more complicated, it’s describing the motion literally: making a U-shaped turn

Why is kehrtwende the real name? Doesn’t it basically just mean “turn around”?

Mmm, mouth-watering hamburgers

Think of it like an email address: you might have shibby@gmail, but someone else happened to get shibby@hotmail. Or like unique identifiers on like battle.net or discord (though those are going away); you make your account and they give you a random number (shibby#24680), and someone else wants the same name and they get shibby#13579.

It’s pretty unlikely for someone to try to impersonate you, but if they are, I’m sure there’s someone you can contact about it.
