| General Chess Discussion - Most dumb proof opening?#11 Yes, 1 e4 ?! isn't too bad at all! Even the Fischer kid played it, although I think he did reliably better with 1 c4. In fact, in the 11 games that I've found where Fischer played 1 c4, he never lost!… | Noflaps  |
| Off-Topic Discussion - You ever consider that Trump is better than Biden?#64 Thumbs down for the idea that we should actually read a bill before we decide to support or oppose it? Or for the idea that a few people on the other side don't make a bill bipartisan in any meaningfu… | Noflaps |
| Off-Topic Discussion - Why do i not have a dog yet#3 Before one gets a dog, one should make sure one can adequately and dependably take care of a dog. Dogs are like people (and remember, most people, but not all, are good), but they have a harder time t… | Noflaps |
| Off-Topic Discussion - You ever consider that Trump is better than Biden?#63 A bill that is loudly and repeatedly claimed to be "bipartisan" is often not at all a genuine compromise or GENUINELY bipartisan in any meaningful sense, and can contain a lot of dumb, harmful, wastef… | Noflaps |

| Off-Topic Discussion - How do you feel about "Mahatma" Ghandi?#17 Thanks, @Dukedog. So the authorities found him to be a threat to the status quo and jailed him? I don't recall that he was ever truly threatening or violent, though. To the contrary, I think he asked … | Noflaps |
| Off-Topic Discussion - How do you feel about "Mahatma" Ghandi?#15 Thank you for correcting me, @BKrivi09 ! Great job. I seem to forget how to spell "Gandhi" repeatedly. I've been corrected in the past, more than once. And I needed correction yet again and am gratefu… | Noflaps |
| Off-Topic Discussion - How do you feel about "Mahatma" Ghandi?#12 No, @NaturalBornTraveller , Gandhi's arrest and detention did not diminish Gandhi in my eyes to the slightest degree. After all, he tried to help his country but was a thorn in the side of the then-cu… | Noflaps |
| Off-Topic Discussion - You ever consider that Trump is better than Biden?#47 I notice emojis and their use. That's not the same as asking for them, obviously. And many prefer to consult comforting sources that routinely align with their own views and feelings. But in any event… | Noflaps |
| General Chess Discussion - Opinion: getting annoyed because your opponent refuses to resign is a sign of arrogance#48 @a_Tauri is quoted (#47) as saying, in pertinent part, "It is a lack of sportsmanship to abandon the game without resigning, because it means not accepting defeat."
