Dante Alighieri, probably baptized Durante di Alighiero degli Alighieri, and often referred to simply as Dante, was an Italian poet, writer and philosopher. His Divine Comedy, originally called Comedìa (modern Italian: Commedia) and later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language.
Dante is known for establishing the use of the vernacular in literature at a time when most poetry was written in Latin, which was accessible only to the most educated readers. His De vulgari eloquentia (On Eloquence in the Vernacular) was one of the first scholarly defenses of the vernacular. His use of the Tuscan dialect for works such as The New Life (1295) and Divine Comedy helped establish the modern-day standardized Italian language. His work set a precedent that important Italian writers such as Petrarch and Boccaccio would later follow.
Dante was instrumental in establishing the literature of Italy. His depictions of Hell, Purgatory and Heaven provided inspiration for the larger body of Western art and literature. He is cited as an influence on such English writers as Geoffrey Chaucer, John Milton and Alfred Tennyson, among many others. In addition, the first use of the interlocking three-line rhyme scheme, or the terza rima, is attributed to him. He is described as the "father" of the Italian language, and in Italy he is often referred to as il Sommo Poeta ("the Supreme Poet"). Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio are also called the tre corone ("three crowns") of Italian literature.

Riddle me this: what's more dumb? Not being good at chess, or me deciding to stream myself playing chess/playing against viewers tomorrow, despite me being not good at it? :blob-no-thoughts:
Well, either way... let's get to posting folks :comfy-cool:
We're gonna build a wall! And we're gonna make the landlord's pay for it! And then we're gonna put them against it and shoot them.
Because it's so damaged from all the bullets I guess :shrug-outta-hecks:
Hola :mao-wave:
Who's mackie V though? :blob-no-thoughts:
Oh! I get who you mean now :owl-wink:
Good ol' Nicky Macky
Doing pretty good here, playing a session of Dogs in the Vineyard rn :comfy:
You should stream some kung fu chess.

Its really fun but the interface / control are super tilting if you're used to lichess.
:what-the-hell: That looks both really fun and also really intimidating.
I might play it another time though :comfy:
remind me to post this on /c/feedback but we could benefit from macros where a person can write things like this.
Write things like the riddle, or the mass tag?
I mostly just copy+paste from the previous mega, but that would be pretty cool to have a macro of it :shrug-outta-hecks:
A college student attacked police after telling them someone had taken his cannabis.
Desmond Barrett reported the stolen cannabis to two officers in Queen Street in Cardiff city centre.
When the officers told the 24-year-old — who had drunk around 30 cans of lager — that he should not have cannabis he hit both officers in the head and kicked one of them.
lol
I would like to thank Comrade Alighieri for making Christian's conception of the afterlife in to a totally bonkers phantasmagoria with no scriptural basis what so ever. and also his enormous contribution to modern D&D
and also his enormous contribution to modern D&D
:07: To him for that
There's a cool illustration from Gustave Doré’s interpretation of the Divine Comedy representing the transcendental oneness of God. I think it's beautiful.

In conclusion I believe I will bring significant cognitive diversity to your department because I am not very smart
Your background can be anything and you can still be a communist if you are principled. Marx was middle class. Lenin was the son of a hereditary noble. Stalin was the son of a peasant shoemaker. All three were communists. Do not make excuses for your lack of understanding theory, and do not shame a good comrade for a background they had no choice in.

Just watching the John Oliver from last week, topic homelessness - Some libshit from Austin literally said "Every time I have to pick up human shit some of my liberalness goes away".
Stop. Stop it. Creating an ironic alt to snipe at /r/neoliberal users in their comment sections will do absolutely nothing but cause irreparable psychic damage to yourself. Its literally the worst idea you've ever had
Sorry talking to myself
I'm very desensitised to deaths that I read about on the internet, though I still think I'd still be horrified if I saw death irl
