Re: Ask the forum

I'm here for the first time in about 2 years. Seems like just about everyone has moved on. Maybe I'll try a PM or two.

Re: The uneasy partnership of feminism and trans rights

So the Florida house passed a law allowing for "genital inspections" which only targets female student athletes. This sounds like a great idea and I'm sure nothing bad will come of this, because we know there are no creeps who would be happy to use this an excuse to get off on female adolescent bod...

Re: The uneasy partnership of feminism and trans rights

I do not accept that Trans women are women in any way shape or form. They may have gender dysphoria, and I have sympathy for that, but that does not change their biology. They are not actually women and the English language should not be redefined to be incorrect, the term Trans Woman is fine. I ha...

Re: Sleep :/

I'm going through a bout of insomnia, to the degree that I have a dr appointment to try to get a drug to help. I'll probably end up getting asked to do a sleep study. The problem isn't staying asleep, it's falling asleep, which usually happens between 3-4 am. When you work business hours, that's jus...

Re: Technical Issues

I received my first PM, and I responded twice. I'm not clear why I have a count in my outbox, but not my inbox? https://i.imgur.com/8DSl2pv.png It's not like they're unread, since I have directly clicked on and viewed the outgoing messages. Are my responses being sent? I have not received any acknow...

Re: I'm bad at chess

I tend to go for the Giuoco Piano as white, and the French as black, but I get "out of preparation" almost immediately. I think I'm going to go through a list of gambits, starting with the Stafford, and then the fishing pole, and the Urusov. The problem is that the more prepared you are, the less ca...

Re: Tech nerds, please red team the shit out of my lil game

If so I have lost faith in wix completely https://www.karililt.com/the-jellyfish-explains-to-you Surely there's a way to password-protect a collection of pages, so the user doesn't have to keep inputting? This is not a good sol...

Re: I'm bad at chess

I played quite a bit as a youth , putting a non-trivial amount of time into first saving up for a hand-carved wood set and then attempting to make my own, but I wouldn't say I had pursued any organised or effective approach to consciously developing skill that I could pass on. Then I did a chess we...
