My wife's a Chinese immigrant, though she arrived when she was six and is essentially a native outside of some funny idioms. There's definitely some cultural truth to your observations. She doesn't play any games at all and just says what she means. It was quite refreshing and I don't think I...

A little late for the fight last week, but still interesting:

In the interviews he said he legitimately missed all the blunders, even g3 in the last game. Ian's head was just not right after game 6. He needs some time with a sports psychologist.

Still took fucking two of them when they both have two hands.

Then you and the girl need to go back to fourth grade science class.

Why would he derail the (thin) illusion that he's a good boxer? The longer he can maintain whatever level of mystery there currently is, the more money he can make.

Limb count is useful for distinguishing spiders from insects. Likewise, has wings ∴ !spider. The dead giveaway vs octopi is that one doesn't have a fucking exoskeleton.

They're nothing alike beyond having the same number of limbs. Girl is dumb. http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/jul99/933165320.Zo.r.html

Well regardless, it's a direct quote from the athlete in question.

I remember reading some study on retirees that found the happiest and most long-lived actually worked MORE in "retirement" than they did before, but it was for (mostly) non-financial reasons or mix of reasons that they gave a shit about, so it wasn't onerous. It's about financial freedom, not...

As the owner of several major grappling-induced knee injuries, I was curious about this story. I don't care how skilled or tough you are, it's possible for anyone to put you in a bad spot, especially with a big weight disparity, and you always have to look out for your health first. Sounds like...

I dunno, I think this is a different class of blunder than mistakes typical of the world championships. Obviously everyone is human, but particularly the one today was something seen in advance by a LOT of people. Even Nepo himself has characterized his play, at least on the relevant moves, as...

This is hardly true. The vast, VAST majority of humanity has no idea I exist, never mind gives a shit about what I do with myself. I'm perfectly comfortable doing things that are of interest only to me. I'd bet that almost all of art, craft, and science is done by people satisfying their own...

For people close to me who already have all the stuff they could want, I rewind to childhood. It's the thought that counts at this point, so I'll give a box of handmade fudge or something I made in my wood shop.

Beyond the fact that they're dead and are in no position to care, I already don't provide burial services for thousands of good people who die every day. Ceremony and common DNA are for the living. If you care, do it. If not...

What a great game.
