yesterday.... after 2 classical, 4 tiebreakers, 1 armageddon, and aging 5 years, caruana defeated sindarov, sending him back into obscurity. my 4 bets went in drain along with him. (i still have one caruana bet with me)
Finals: leg 1
after wasting 5 mins god knows where, vincent opened with c5. now im not gonna post annotated lines & maneuvers cuz im no 2200 rated strag who knows whats going on. just assume it is a good opening because it is supposed to be bad for black. why would white play a move that's good for black duh?
it took them good 30 min to get to this whatever symmetrical mess you call it
even the commentators were bored out of it and werent covering the match. YES they said it themselves that it was slow af and felt offing themselves livestream. only the thought of being posted on kiwifarms probably convinced them out of it
vincent stabbed the knight defending the corner pawn and grabbed it with his queen. actually he grabbed it with his hand but you get it. (he did it before fabi could do it to him)
carry saved his knight, vinny opened the file for his bishop to eat that horse meat.
vincent gives up his hanging pawn and prepares to welcome the upcoming rook down the highway (up or down is the matter of perspective).
predictable things happen, pieces are attacked, they run, they defend. vincent castles g-side to escape the incoming rook-king pin from the bishop. it leads to this
caruana make a plan to move his pawn and lifts his rook but apparently (woah cuz idk how) its a huge time wasting blunder because the real battle front of this allies-axis battle is on the right hand side & the centre. (all quiet on the west front heh)
fabi goes to sleep again with his clock running (poor fella thought it was an alarm clock) and vincent executes his plan to poke the horse near the queen and then push his own to the centre
the kraut executes an excellent pincer blitzkreig . desperate fabi gives up his rook for the crazy horse but he has neither any soldiers nor time left
he tries to eat the pawn tail with his active bishop but the white queen returns to put him on the naughty list. he attempts this one last trap
the rook wards it off, bishops are called to the frontlines. queeny handles it swiftly
this capture seals it for white and the axis forces defeat the allies! sieg heil!

Evidence about child's picky eating helps convince immigration tribunal that being forced to leave UK would be unduly harsh
An Albanian criminal was allowed to stay in Britain partly because his son will not eat foreign chicken nuggets, The Telegraph can reveal.
An immigration tribunal ruled that it would be "unduly harsh" for the 10-year-old boy to be forced to move to Albania with his father owing to his sensitivity around food.
The sole example provided to the court was his distaste for the "type of chicken nuggets that are available abroad".
As a result, the judge allowed the father's appeal against deportation as a breach of his right to a family life under theΒ European Convention on Human RightsΒ (ECHR), citing the impact his removal might have on his son.
The case, revealed in court documents, is among a record 34,169Β outstanding asylum appeals. The number represents a five-fold increase in two years from the 6,386 appeals outstanding at the same point in 2022.
The legal challenges, largely on human rights grounds, threaten to hold up Labour's efforts toΒ fast-track the removal of thousands of migrantsΒ with no right to remain in the UK.
They also risk undermining the Government'sΒ efforts to appear tough on immigrationΒ in the face of the rise of Reform.
The revelations come as the Government launches a campaign to counter claims that Britain is a soft touch for migrants by announcing the results of a blitz on illegal working.
Data to be published on Monday show there were 609 arrests last month for illegal working, 73 per cent up on January 2024, and a 48 per cent rise in raids from 556 to 828.
The Home Office will also publish pictures and videos of migrants being deported from the UK and forcibly placed on planes.
It comes as both Labour and Tories are tryingΒ to head off the electoral threat from Nigel Farage's Reform UK,Β whose hardline "freeze" on non-essential immigration and turn back the boats plan has helped his party overtake both Tories and Labour and top the latest opinion polls.
Commenting on the chicken nuggets case,Β Robert Jenrick,Β the shadow justice secretary, said it was "mind-boggling" that food was being used as an argument to prevent deportation.
"It's ludicrous that a judge would entertain it. Cases like this make us a laughing stock.
"It's an insult to the British public that our immigration laws are being abused in such an outrageous way," he said.
Chris Philp, shadow home secretary, said: "This case shows how bogus asylum seekers and foreign criminals are ruthlessly exploiting human rights laws and weak judges to stay in the UK when common sense clearly shows they should be kicked out."
A Home Office spokesman said: "Foreign nationals who commit heinous crimes should be in no doubt that we will do everything to make sure they are not free on Britain's streets, including removal from the UK at the earliest possible opportunity.
"Since the election, we've removed 2,580 foreign criminals, a 23 per cent increase on the same period 12 months prior."
Sir Keir Starmer andΒ his Attorney GeneralΒ have said that they will not withdraw from the ECHR and that the Government is committed to upholding the rule of international law.
Albanian Klevis Disha, 39, came to the UK illegally in February 2001 as a 15-year-old unaccompanied child. He used a false name and falsely claimed to have been born in the former Yugoslavia.
Although his asylum claim was rejected, he secured UK citizenship in 2007 after being granted exceptional leave to remain, and thenΒ indefinite leave to remain.
He met his partner, another Albanian who had gained UK citizenship, in 2006, with whom he had two daughters and a son.
However, in September 2017, he was jailed for two years after being caught with Β£250,000 cash, known to be the proceeds of crime.
Dame Priti Patel, then home secretary, ordered he should be deported to Albania and stripped of his UK citizenship as it had been acquired through deception.
Disha appealed and was backed by a judge at a lower-tier immigration tribunal. The judge ruled that it would be "unduly harsh" for his 10-year-old son -- known only as C -- to remain in the UK and be separated from his father, or to be forced to go with him to Albania.
The case centred on C's "additional" needs, which were supported only by evidence from a trainee educational psychologist for whom, the court noted, no CV had been supplied, as well as evidence from a neighbour and a family friend.
The court was told there was no formal diagnosis of special educational needs for the boy, but he did have an educational plan to deal with his "emotional regulation, independence; reading and writing."
Child has difficulties with socks
Disha's lawyers said that the needs of C, whose first language was Albanian, also included "sensory difficulties" with some clothing, such as socks in particular, and certain types of food which meant he would seize up and "refuse to do anything."
Disha's appeal was granted. However, a judge in the upper tribunal disagreed with the assessment that his additional needs could not be met if he was returned to Albania.
The judge, David Merrigan, said the only example of why the boy could not go to Albania was that he "will not eat the type of chicken nuggets that are available abroad".
"We are not persuaded that the addition of this sole example approaches anywhere near the level of harshness for a reasonable judge to find it to be 'unduly' so," he said.
He remitted the case to be reheard by a different judge in a lower tribunal to decide the "sole issue" of whether the consequences of deportation would be unduly harsh on the 10-year-old boy. The case is ongoing.

decided I might as well fix the old one while I was at it, a screw jammed in there with putty had held for years
but the new one was a 1/2 inch monster, putty wasn gonna work anymore

and the fricking electrod keps shocking me standing in the mud
so it kept turning out like this. after 3 tries I said frick it it was leaking before
so I boogered them up and they turned out like this @ 50psi
no worse than they've been leakign for a decade

AITA for continuously triggering her trypophobia?
(Trypophobia is an intense and disproportionate fear or disgust for holes, bumps, or patterns that are clustered together or repetitive)
(aka r-slurred)
I (19F
) have had acne for so long that I honestly can't remember my skin without it. I used to wear a lot of concealer to cover it up, but that only made things worse. Eventually, I realized my skin was controlling my life (and draining my bank account π), so when I started at a new school, I decided to stop wearing makeup
. My skin still isn't great, but I'm on medication, so I have some hope that it will improve.
Here's the problem: There's a girl in my class, let's call her Callie (18F
), who has trypophobia [is r-slurred]. I had no idea until we were put in a group together. The moment I spoke to her, she started crying. Naturally, I asked what was wrong, and she screamed at me that my face was triggering her trypophobia
. Her friends immediately jumped in to comfort her
while I just sat there, confused, wondering if I was supposed to apologize for my skin, something I obviously didn't choose to have
.
When I tried to speak again, she told me to shut up and leave because I was "
drawing attention to myself by talking.
" I asked what she expected me to do about it, and she said I could at least wear concealer. I explained that it wasn't an option because it's expensive
and just worsens my acne. Her friends glared at me and called me selfish
.
That was just the first incident. Ever since, anytime I sit near Callie or have to present in front of the class, she starts dry heaving or crying
(having a panic attack?)
. It's disrupting lessons so much that my teacher pulled me aside and asked if I could just wear concealer for the sake of keeping the peace. She admitted it wasn't fair but said she couldn't think of another solution.
I already feel like such a freak because of my skin. I know my skin is horrid,
but why am I the one expected to cater to Callie? I didn't choose to have acne any more than she chose to have trypophobia. I can't help but feel like I'm being unfairly treated here, but at the same time, I know she can't control her reaction either.
So⦠AITA? Should I just wear the darn concealer?
