Logical Chess Move by Move by Irving Chernev, Play Winning Chess by Yasser Seirawan, Silman's Complete Endgame Course by Jeremy Silman (first few chapters) , First Book of Morphy by Frisco Del Rosario are good books to get familiar with the basics, imo.

The point is that faith in Christ renews your mind and gives you a new outlook on life/ the meaning of life which is hopeful and breaks the doom loop of existential angst and resentment. This in turns strengthens your mind/ spirit such that you are able to overcome self harming behavior which previously you seccumbed to because you were cynical and self-hating.

I'm a bit fed up with the cope. Bitcoin's true USP is self custody outside of the regulated financial system and the ETFs were a wrong turn. We might just be decades early. I think Bitcoin is still the best simply because there is no better alternative. Gold is great until you get 6102d. But if the rest of the world doesn't get it then Bitcoin could underperform other financial assets for years. There's no guarantees around short to medium term price appreciation. Black swans like a hot war between the US and China could put back adoption decades. Or speed it up. But a paper wrapper around Bitcoin custodied in the tradition financial system. Really? It's been great for OGs enjoying their "Bitcoin IPO moment" and trading their corn for, what? Fiat? Probably they are buying property and other assets. Probably buying plan B and C houses in different jurisdictions if they're smart. But many of them are probably fed up with all the drama and are just happy to take the blue pill and live in comfort with a paid off house, car, dividend paying stocks, and some global travel. Can't blame them really. But all this cope from Bitcoiners is depressing. There's people on my timeline pretending they are looking forward to the return of the "58k gang". Really? The happy mask covering a crying face meme was made for these people. Well I hope Odell/Mallers, etc., are right and Bitcoin is still the apex asset and the true signal from the world's last free market. But nothing would surprise me at this point. The world is insane.

A booklet he wrote in 1543 per chance?

Be fruitful and multiply is a command directly from the creator of the universe. To refuse is to disobey God.

Chesscom for play. Lichess for study.

Nope. The world will be fallen unti Christ returns. Repent and believe in Christ.

Nope. Original sin is. Repentance and faith in Christ is the only way out.

Are turkeys a psyop? i can't keep up.
