The Last Song

No one told her – right? She didn’t know They were walking up and out– It’s dark, down below, And the way is almost level, you couldn’t tell If it spiraled up someday to the doors of Hell. She wasn’t quite thinking – remember she was dead –  Just following, just like always, where his melodies led – The light was a torch or a thing in her head – I think no one told her what could have been. She knows he looked at her before she fell again.

Kinwa and the Engineer

The Matubon people of Slow-Lake have a strange custom, which is that they consider teaching taboo, and refuse to mark symbols, deal in numbers, and do all but the most passive apprenticeship; for the only true knowledge is that which was wrested from the lions of one’s mind - all else is lies and the whispers of wicked men.

More details:

1. The academics were mostly cancelled for free speech absolutism. None of them voted for Trump.

2. The queer housing group made copious references to astrological signs but your sign was not on their list of exclusions.

Actually if you are a scorpio or a gemini you will have to pretend for the purposes of this poll that you aren’t.

I would rather just keep paying rent.

What doesn't cost you money sometimes has other costs. In this case that means you take mental damage instead.

I agree with your second paragraph but I don't think I'd take mental damage from the academics at all!

From prior experience hanging out with those types of people, they'd keep each other entertained debating politics and I'd hang out on the couch and occasionally chime in, and they are far less likely to start toxic drama with me or each other (pure academic drama has a different flavor and is usually based in a mutual respect)

Hey all!

Frank the bot is being shut down soon, and her creator @nostalgebraist has requested she not be spammed with goodbyes or overwhelmed with more messages than usual in her last few weeks. (This is also why I have not tagged her here.) So instead, I've made a server where we can talk about her, celebrate her, and have a nostalgia party without causing Rob extra stress!

Let's make this a good transition period for everyone!

We have a tie for the most popular Move...

Bc4 (The Italian) and d4 (The Scotch). Heads is Italian, Tails is Scotch.

Heads. We're playing the Italian Opening.

Move 3 is Bc4.

Computer responds Nf6. We are facing the Two Knights Defense.

Get your move suggestion in before the 8th of may (By the 7th of may at 11:59 pm or 23:59 Pacific Time)

Trivia: There were zero votes to enter a Ruy Lopez (Bb6), an ostensibly popular opening. More like Ruy NOPE-ez amirighhht

i am! obsessed! with this book from the late ming dynasty about scams to watch out for (esp. if you are a traveling merchant). this guy is like, there ARE immortals who can survive without food but you WILL NOT encounter them because they live alone in the mountains and don't talk to anyone. if a monk comes to your house and claims to not need to eat, it's probably because he's secretly eating human fetuses, or something. eunuchs are invariably corrupt and the court system is useless. however, do NOT try to bribe anyone for a better SAT result for your idiot failson; this never works. nuns WILL try to seduce your wife into cheating on you. if your idiot failson does really badly on the SAT, make sure to have his father's remains buried somewhere with A+ fengshui; this is Guaranteed to work (unless your wife is cheating on you).

no offense meant to any individual who asked abt this but can you lot please reblog one of the clarifications and not the base post because if ONE MORE PERSON is like "wait, op, who's 'you' here, are you the dead father or--" i'm turning off reblogs. choose wisely

I currently can reblog this but cannot reblog the version with the clarification? No idea why

How good is your mind's clock?

Find a stopwatch or stopwatch program. Hit start and start counting. At 5 seconds, close your eyes and keep time in your head. Stop the stopwatch as close to 20.0 seconds as you can.

Criteria for a group of friends

1. You associate with each other

2. You all share an identity

3. Nobody can leave

4. Everyone has an opposite person to balance them out

It’s helpful if you all commute together, but that’s not a necessity.

The Most popular choice was... Nf3

the computer responds... Nc6

We are playing a king's knight game.

Move 3. Send in your move before May 5th!

And remember, the more people involved, the better and more accurate the selected moves will be, most likely.

Please submit your moves in the Ask Box for the blog, not the replies. It makes it easier to count if they're all in one place. For this one, I will count the ones in the replies, but in the future please send them in as asks.

Thank you.

Also, @yumantimatter thanks for bringing up the confusion that could potentially result from the wording of the deadline. It has been fixed. For the record, the deadline for submitting moves is 23:59/11:59pm Pacific Time on may 4th. May 5th is when the new position will go up to be considered.
