  • Not in Seattle where I live, though some dandelions are already releasing their fuzz, spiders are already spinning webs on everything outdoors and I had to wear a mask one night to prevent inhaling the still lingering tree-cum of some species that wasn’t common in the suburb I grew up in (or my nose would’ve run and itched all night)

  • This is one reason why I prefer chess.com most of the time, it feels more rewarding to advance my elo there. Besides, it has AIs easier than stockfish (so I can practice openings risk-free) since chess in America heavily relies on that site, pretty much all of my chess friends I know in real life and actually stand a chance against are on there since it’s also part social media platform. (But I have both apps on my iphone and ipad, and use lichess for its puzzles and stockfish reviews that are free for life.)

  • I’ve only met one who was somewhat like that: my roommate in freshman year at college, he was surprisingly conservative for a US atheist and thinks abortion should only be legal if the pregnancy is life-threatening or the product of rape/incest. And it wasn’t just that issue, he had these really weird and often messed-up takes on a lot of things to the point that one can’t completely dismiss the possibility that he might just be fucking with people by exaggerating how conservative he actually is.

    Though to be fair he didn’t seem to have anything against at least the L, G and B (heck, for a good 8 months he dated a girl who openly admitted to being bi on like day one of their relationship and their breakup had nothing to do with it) but that’s a very low bar these days, now homophobia in America is creeping towards extinction and, now down to 25% of the electorate (whereas a good 55% are unfortunately still transphobic), is little more than a middle-school phase except in a few really specific areas like Florida.
