I just want to say, this dude does not have a "resign" button (and with good reason). I will resign when I hang a piece or something, lagtight played that game to the death, and very nearly managed to get himself stalemated for a draw that never looked on. Props to the man.

As a juxtaposition to that, in that very game, I was very close to taking a draw via perpetual check and even mentioned it in the chat. I would have been happy with 1 draw in 10 games, but I was just in such a good (but not locked!) position in that endgame that I felt the need to persevere.

I mean, it's not an unreasonable evaluation.

You know the woman I’ve criticized the most over Twitter? Sarah Palin. No one cared. I couldn’t stand Palin when she ran for the vice presidency and was a political pundit. Anytime someone tweeted me something I considered stupid, I responded by calling them a “Palinite.” This went on for several years. I wrote a column for the Huffington Post shredding Palin. No one cared. No one called me sexist. Deadspin didn’t use my criticism of Palin as proof of my rampant misogyny.

There’s a certain species of women who can’t be criticized publicly. Palin isn’t part of that group. What’s different about her? Oh, she’s not a feminist icon. She’s not liberal. This whole push for a criticism-free safe space for women is about protecting woke women. It’s part of the culture war to disrupt the patriarchy with a liberal matriarchy.

lol@ the pearl clutching Social conservatives have been stifling(and often much worse) people who dared to be different for Eons. The tiniest hint of a taste of their won medicine and it's the end of the world lol
