Just a reminder that if they are an actual kitten you should be feeding them wet food once to twice a day depending on age and have dry food available at all times.

It's really hard for a kitten to over eat as they are growing so quickly that they need the calories to fuel that.

So what would be attraction to a specific band of aesthetic characteristics independent of sex or gender be?

If you can't find a way to do humor you could just be genuine and sincere.

I'm being genially serious, find a local club and give it a try, you might find you enjoy it. Or you could try playing on chess.com for an even easier entry they also have computer opponents of various skill levels if you feel intimidated by having a human opponent to begin

Then play in an open tournament?

100% this if people want you get angry at the FIDE they should do it for the right reasons.

So instead of having a welcoming space for a historically and actively marginalized group while allowing them to still complete in every other tournament we should just what? Close women's divisions, revoke all their titles, and tell them to play "real chess" instead?

Like getting rid of women's tournaments is only a bad thing that would make the game stagnant even further to being the "boys club" game a lot of people already think it is when chess should be for everybody.

If you are paired against an opponent and choose not to play against them then you get an uncontested match loss and will tank your ELO pretty quickly. This is also anecdotal but I've never met a player who would refuse an opponent of roughly equal ELO

What chess tournament is men's only, I haven't heard of a single one?

Does anyone have a link to the robot comic, the one with the war robot that wants to be a civilian robot and is trans coded. I saw it on blahaj before but can't find it again

 
 
 

There are a number of posts that I have seen, namely nsfw posts, that I like but don't want stuck at the top of my scroll when going through.

I like the posts so I don't want to block the user, so it's there any way for me to hide the posts?
