Got my surgery finally. Flew over to 90210. Horrible weather. Surgery was extremely uneventful other than me having some variation of anxiety and an upset stomach for a couple hours before the surgery began. It's all local anesthesia - you're awake for it. I talked to the surgeon throughout the whole operation. He told me if I wanted to buy a nice 911 I should do it through a broker and not a dealer. I was able to drive home even though they "require" that you get a ride home. I'd honestly have thrown up if I had to have someone drive me home, I was too nauseous from all the drugs.

Got back to my hotel off the beach and just hung out there all day. I wanted to do a lot of walking but it was sideways raining and I can't get the bandages wet. So, I didn't walk much until it was very late when my pain was surging insanely and the rain had let up. I needed to walk as well because it helped with the nausea and more importantly - the blood pooling in my face. By walking I could get more blood into my legs and lessen the pain. I couldn't do anything more intense at home like squats because that would be too intense on the body and blood vessels. The pain was so intense when the anesthesia wore off - the pain pills felt like they did nothing but contribute to my nausea. I ended up walking about 20k steps and talking to someone on the phone for most of it. It was the only way to get the pain off my mind. We argued about immigrants and what it means to be American.

I am an extremely open person with all of my friends. So, naturally, everyone is calling and watching my stories intensely with a lot of questions. People are weirded out but some say things like, "I can see the vision". We'll see where it goes. The healing process is really painful and it takes a while. I hate surgery for good reason. I'm on my third day of recovery and I feel better now. The pain is much less and I have some appetite which makes taking these pills cause less nausea.

I'm just really glad I'm not recovering in NYC right now. I'm back in SF and it's so quiet and peaceful. I don't have to deal with people yelling, loud butt sirens constantly, garbage pickup at 3am every night for 30+ minutes, etc. I miss living here and the parts of the life I had. There are things I enjoy about NYC but even the air you breathe there is so unhealthy for you. I miss the peace and quiet. I miss seeing flowers, trees, and green grass where I lived. I miss seeing tall redwood trees. I miss the sunshine and not living in shadows.

I still can't believe that I had to get surgery for anyone to find me attractive though. This is the life we live.

This is Othman. Othman is a Nazi who talks about things like the JQ, or "Jewish Question."

Othman also seems to work in the White House. He claims to be at the Executive Office of the President.

"Uh, everything is political, especially the military."

It's so gross. I don't get why anyone would want to do such a thing and certainly no normal straight male would want to frick a poopy facsimile of a kitty. Yet if you question this they say "RePuBlICAns are oBsESsEd wItH trans FOlks". They're the ones trying to normalize this barbaric disgusting shit and the best they can say to the opposition is "you're obsessed"?

stolen from reddit:

Final standings:

1 - Vincent Keymer: He was unimpressive at Tata Steel and was nothing special in the round robin either, but in the classical portion of this tournament, he was a different player altogether. First beat Alireza, then Magnus, then Fabiano. Never looked in trouble against any of them outside of a couple of moments in the second game against Magnus. A very deserving winner, since he was clearly the best player in the classical.

2 - Fabiano Caruana: From leading for most of the round robin and eventually finishing 3rd there, and then convincingly beating world champion Gukesh 2-0 in the quarter-finals, there was never a moment when he looked out of touch. He had nothing for Vincent in the finals, but it was a really good event overall.

3 - Magnus Carlsen: For Magnus, any event where he doesn't win is a disappointing result. That said, outside of the first day in the round robin, he played really good chess throughout, scoring 3.5/4 on the second day and beating Nodirbek and Sindarov 2-0. Just like Fabiano, he also came up short against an inspired Vincent, and because he met the latter in the semi-finals he had to settle for 3rd.

4 - Javokhir Sindarov: In what could be his big breakout event, he was dominant for most of the round robin, only finishing 2nd there due to losing in the last round. Showed incredible resistance and tenacity to beat Hikaru after bravely picking him, and was incredibly close to getting to the finals. 4th after such a run must feel disappointing for him, but he has a lot to be proud of.

5 - Hikaru Nakamura: His tournament was similar to Magnus, outside of the first day he generally played really good chess, starting off by scoring 3.5/4 on the second day. A couple of critical mistakes in time trouble against Sindarov meant he lost his quarter-final match, and despite convincingly winning against Gukesh and demolishing Nodirbek, that put him in a situation where he couldn't go any higher than 5th.

6 - Nodirbek Abdusattorov: Not exactly a tournament to write home about for him. Was not convincing in the round robin, sneaking through in the final spot. Got demolished by both Magnus and Hikaru in the knockout phase, but swindling Alireza in between those matches was able to help him get to 6th.

7 - Alireza Firouzja: After winning the round robin with 6.5 points, the classical portion just did not work out for him. From being outplayed by Vincent in the first match, he also lost out against Nodirbek after initially having a winning position. He did win the 7th place match against Gukesh (after again blowing a winning position in the first game of that match), but that is a very underwhelming end after such a promising start.

8 - Gukesh Dommaraju: He showed amazing defensive resilience to draw a lot of worse positions in both the round robin and the knockouts, but the fact that he consistently got into them was a disappointment. And being the only winless player in the tournament. Exhaustion from Tata Steel and world championship combined with being less experienced in Freestyle than the others definitely played a part in his performance.

9 - Levon Aronian: The round robin was a disaster, and as a result he was not able to make it to the knockouts. Being the oldest player did not help his chances considering the round robin was with rapid time controls. He did smoothly win the 9th place match against Fedoseev in classical to avoid last.

10 - Vladimir Fedoseev: He has a reputation of being a streaky player who can go on a big run but is also prone to tilt. The 0/4 start in the round robin pretty much put him in a position where qualifying was difficult, and despite two wins later on including one against Magnus, he missed out by half a point. Lost the 9th place match against Levon who played a lot better in that match than he ever did in the round robin.
