I am just getting into chess so the quizzes and lessons are kind of essential. I’d like to get really good at chess. Chess.com was fun until I ran out of free things, but Lichess is open source, free, and fabulous.

Use lichess.org instead of chess.com, it's like the free open source non shitty cool alternative 👍

I’m no good, and probably not patient enough, but I’ve been playing chess for the last couple of weeks on chess.com and it’s been a nice way to “take a breather” — letting my thoughts focus solely on executing some master plan to take down my opponent. It’s fun to strategize and see it follow through, or learn from my mistakes when I’m inevitably outsmarted. Shorter time-based matches get super hectic towards the end which is a whole other dynamic.

Turns out I had appendicitis.
Her genuine concern…like it’s equally touching.
Ruby is still very much in my life unlike my appendix..

Expectations are so intangible, and judgement so abundant, that it’s almost become easier to say “I am not” than “I am”. Positivity has become a sign of vulnerability in many ways in today’s internet zeitgeist, it‘s rarity being clearly identified by the creation of this app. The negativity that has spread rampant throughout our internet has seemingly proven to many that if they are not part of the rejection, they will be the rejected! An equally sad and scary thought!
This app is so miraculous to me in many ways. The positivity makes it whole. A lot of us probably feel pretty defensive of this quality due to some of the same principles of community that influence the phenomenons I’ve mentioned above.
Anyone can come here and post words and phrases and photos and links and to the vast majority of us the purpose is clear. All the while, it is in the nature of people, good or great ones even, to expel negativity which festers inside :( ! This will happen, but my fellow PI.FYI-ers, what we pay attention to grows!
Some good, or great people even, have a hard time identifying these tendencies which do contribute to the spread of negativity into foundationally positive spaces, and their impact in the grand scheme. As a community of lovers of things, I think it’s healthy and only right to continue to kindly remind each other why we have all found ourselves drawn to this platform. Let’s only say fuck off to the evil ones, let’s banish them to Elon Musk’s X, and let’s welcome all the rest to the brilliance of recommending good stuff to good strangers online. I hope to do this for a while :)
