        You have any proof of that?

        You maybe confusing Epsteins here? All I can find is he once talked to Rafael Epstein

            I’d recommend a source instead of a small number of JPGs for the future.

            Looks like the source is this article which documents just how embedded Epstein was in New York and saught to be included in philosophical discussions.

            I’m not sure this is as damning as you think for Dawkins, more so than the manager who was actually in Epstein’s phone book.

            Seems like he should have asked more questions about who was sponsoring his flight to a TED talk than someone that rode the Lolita Express.

              I’m aware of the source, where’d you think I sourced the image? lol

              And I didn’t accuse him of diddling kids, I just said he was buddies with Epstein, or the pedo apologist New Atheist movement at least. Seems like the very least he could’ve done is asking more questions.

    Fun fact is that this piece isn’t even called bishop in other languages. In french it’s called fool. And both are wrong if you compare to the original indian game

          Its more runner than walker and the piece goes a lot faster than a peasant for example. Of course the queen and rook can go just as fast, but it is still one of the pieces with the longest range of motion.

          Btw, the horse guy is called “Springer” so “jumper”. Because it can jump over other pieces.

      Yeah in chess’s Asian cousins the equivalent piece is usually an advisor or general. And then there’s Japan, where they just call it “angle-mover”.

      (Worth noting that it’s by far the most blandly named shogi piece. Rooks, for example are “flying chariots”.)

      In Spanish is called alfil, derived from the Arabic for “elephant”.

    This is my favorite reply to chess dot cum’s tweet:

    A tweet by “I Am The Most Intelligent Person To Ever Exist (@perkins_becket)” that reads “I love putting the bishop in my ass. I put the bishop on my ass whether it’s white or black. Black or white, it doesn’t matter; it’s going in my ass either way. I love putting the bishop in my ass.”

    The term “bishop” as applied specifically to the chess piece was first recorded in the 16th century, with the first known written example dating back to the 1560s.

    wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop_(chess)

    The name bishop came along fairly late in the game.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
