  • Quite the drama queen huh.

    “Started accusing opponents he lost to of cheating”, there’s no plural there. It was the match against Hans Nieman.

    Who, by the way, has been convicted of cheating and banned from competitions in the past. What a coincidence huh.

    Also, I’m gonna need some references on when did Magnus sent anyone to harass Hans, because as far as I know, that only happened in your head.

    This. Full AMD on my last build as well.

    I don’t care about any corp, I was looking at best bang for buck at the time. I was shocked how everyone I knew was like you should get this intel or that Nvidia, and when I asked why not <comparable performance AMD at 2/3 the price>, all I was getting back was marketing blabber.





  • Maybe this invention revolutionised how we clean our butts, or maybe it was utterly trivial and 20 different ways of cutting paper rolls were patented that same year (note that present day rolls don’t even use this method).

    But that’s irrelevant to the point that seems to be implied here that patents somehow contributed to it’s success. They don’t, an invention will be useful or not based on its own merits, not on the fact they’re patented.

    They exist to ensure whoever registered it makes a profit, which is why they’re being exploited way past the point of making up for any good they were supposed to bring…




  • I agree with most of what you’re saying, but the way you’re presenting it is almost confrontational.

    True, self-diagnostic in a strict sense isn’t a thing, but as you point out after, a collection of symptoms can speak to one’s experience. Finding this insight, in my case, was an eye opening moment because so many things in my past and in my day to day suddenly started to make sense.

    Coming to terms with this realization is especially useful for people who have strong negative views on mental health issues, and driving people to “self-diagnostic”, as in recognizing that they may be neuro divergent, is a worthy effort.

    It doesn’t replace actual professional help and diagnosis, but it’s a first step that needs to be encouraged.
