What happens when you push pawns to the center (what would normally be e4 and d4)? Can they only attack in one direction?

I remember when the Iraq war was kicking off I was about the right age for recruitment. I was in Walmart and a USMC recruiter walked up to me. He starts off telling me all the benefits for joining the

Well hell I'll trade them my car for education, healthcare, and a home.

Awesome. I'm definitely getting in on the next game!

Fun fact. Dolphins are actually the smartest creatures on earth and their elaborate dances are attempts to warn us about earth's impending doom. I saw it on a documentary once called The Hitchhiker's Guide

My Chaos Theory book tells me hurricanes are created by butterflys.

Thanks Adam! It's absurd to me that I'm forced to pay other people to regulate every aspect of my life and to do so many things I hate. Our founding fathers would be ashamed of us for letting it go so

This has always been one of the things that I just can't bring myself to care about. Everybody always gets their panties in a wad about it so I guess it's important. But I don't get it. Why should I care?

Well, they're North Korea's main trading partner so this is their fault. Any economic leverage they have against South Korea could be brought against them 10 fold by the US. We can always find new trading

I think a lot of it is just cognitive bias and desperation in trying to justify their views. I have to think that deep down they know they're wrong. But acknowledging it would mean they lose their place

I listened to your podcast and I think you are making a lot of emotional arguments to focus on a very small part of the larger picture. First of all, Venezuela went full blown socialist in several ways.

Not sure what you mean but if you click your little circle avatar icon you get options to view your posts, comments, and replies. Is that what you're looking for?

That is very cool. Advanced computational creativity will be a giant leap forward toward super-AI. Good or bad no one knows for sure but it certainly is exciting!

Shhhh don't tell anybody! I'm trying to make a million dollars over here!

I think one day I'll walk around calling everybody Joe. Then when I finally get someone who says "How do you know my name?" I'll whisper "I'm from the future..."

real American history book written before 1960 Do you have any specific recommendations along that line for an old history textbook?

I wouldn't say crazy. It's pretty simple. No nuclear armed state has ever been invaded by anyone. Ever wonder why the US invaded Afghanistan and not Pakistan (where all the Taliban went and got protection)?

I just wrote about this as well. I'm really curious what our Korean community here thinks about it. I think if there were a "line in the sand" that could provoke a full scale war, this would
