Re:A smart redesign of chess pieces on Thursday January 25, 2024 @04:31PM (#39135620)
I've wanted to see something like those scope beams, another idea is each square on the board could change colour by how many pieces can "see" it.
"What will this cost me?" - Now it will cost you "the other bystanders will think I'm autistic", after normies absorb this headline.

The authoritive BBC are saying in short "your peers will call you a monk if you switch off" - they are branding those who choose to ignore media. I don't care where they say it came from, they are perpetuating it. (Also seems disrespectful to actual monks? I don't know)

Calling it that feels wrong to me. They're putting a label on people who ignore their manipulative trash. Plenty of people don't use social media, or watch news and movies, they're not in "monk mode"
The idea has been around for decades, that they'll slowly convince the world that aliens exist, to bring about the One World Government united against a common enemy and ultimately enslave the whole world population who welcome it with open arms.
