  • I largely don’t agree with this, I played chess (Battle Chess) as a kid, I wasnt the best at chess but I had fun. I hadn’t played it in over 15+ years.

    My coworker plays chess on a regular basis, against other players and against the computer at 1,700. He knows quite a few strategies that I never bothered to ask what they entailed, which is a part of your point, but I just play off of the moves I see on the board, I don’t know any technical moves or strategies other than checkmate the king, castling, and en passant.

    I literally wing it every time and my opponent is always thinking about future moves to try and destroy me. Our matches include blunders and typically end up with only a couple pieces left on the board. Its such a fun experience when it’s played without expectation and you’re relying on pure personal strategy in real time.

    I’ve won twice In a row now. Its usually back and forth

    Those lifesaving chemicals are not what they’re putting in our food.

    TBHQ certainly isnt a lifesaving chemical. It shouldn’t even be in our bodies its a petroleum based product that contributes to a whole host of problems in our bodies.

    I’ll admit my statement on lethality is misguided when considering naturally occurring chemicals, the point that I’m making is that the shit synthetic chemicals that are put into our foods are accepted because they’re “within acceptable levels” when they shouldn’t be in our food at all considering the long term effects weren’t known when they were introduced into our food and now we are experiencing the health impacts. You are what you eat and cancer is booming.

    We need oxygen and water to live that’s conflating natural and synthetic chemicals which are completely different.

    While all chemicals have a theshold of toxicity regardless if they’re natural or synthetic, some natural chemicals we rely on to survive as opposed to synthetic chemicals which in the food industry only serves to either preserve food, make it taste a certain way, or maintain a specific color or consistency.

    We do not rely on these chemicals to survive and they are actually toxic to our bodies, cancer rates are on the rise because of synthetic chemicals that have been poisoning our foods for decades.
