The US in '65 supplying lists of suspected leftists to the Indonesian military, which killed up to 1,000,000 people in anti-communist purges and again, paved the way for another dictatorship. Mass bombings that destroyed much of North Korea’s civilian infrastructure; 15–20% of the population died

I tried to go for specific examples of military policy targeting civilians but there's so much more. E.g. the US destabilizing the democratically elected government of Allende through CIA funding, economic sabotage and support for the Pinochet coup, whose dictatorship tortured and killed thousands.

The most legitimately heartbreaking thing in Stardew as someone who's roommates with Krobus is that sometimes, for just a second, I think Krobus is here to come see me on the farm, and it turns out instead it's a shadow monster attacking me, and I'm forced to kill them. IN VIEW OF KROBUS!!!

I went back and found my first Stardew save file. This was my first ever farm at the end of Year 2. Here's my current farm (summer year 3!!!)

A Stardew farm in Winter and honestly it's rough. Like, there's a very tiny patch of farmland, a bunch of machines lined up next to each other, a HUGE amount of trees on the far left that haven't been cut down or explored at all, and a few coops at the bottom of the screen. A Stardew farm in summer and it's looking a lot more developed. The farmhouse with a red roof is at the top right. To the bottom right is a red coop, a raised area because it's a hilltop farm, and a mill. The bottom center has a greenhouse, a shed, and fields of crops. The greenhouse also has two warp obelisks flanking it. Beside the greenhouse is a barn with a silo and a fenced animal pen. There are some fish ponds lining the river.

I'm still organizing it and building stuff out at this point, but this is the current state of the farm!

A Stardew Valley farm. It's a hilltop layout and it's spring! There's a river going diagonally through the farm from top left to bottom right. At the top right is the farmhouse with paths, flowerbeds, and crops. At the far left center at the quarry a large barn with animals and a silo sits beside a dirt yard with scattered rocks. Below that is a glass greenhouse and a shed. Several crop plots are spread across the map, some with sprinklers and one with a Junimo Hut in the middle right. Ponds and fish ponds are scattered near the center.

The idea is typically that learning opening *principles* (castle early, develop, control the center) is more important than learning specific *moves*. But at the same time, idk. By the time you're, like, 800 minimum, everyone else is learning openings. I think it's useful to know them too

One thing I absolutely agree with is that learning the *ideas* behind an opening is more important than just rote memorizing moves - that's what allows you to take advantage of tactical opportunities if they break from theory! But leave my beloved openings ALONEEE

I just got another follower on the Wicked fanfiction I wrote when I was 12 and I'm like... maybe I should do the fic justice by finishing it

Lichess thinks 11.g6 was a blunder, though chesscom says it was just a mistake. Otherwise we got a high accuracy game let's GO

This is me using the chess.com gif maker function - lichess has one too (I play all my games on lichess), but I don't use it because it includes usernames and I want to keep my lichess username private. You can do it for any game, just copy and paste the PGN!
