Multi color go?

Confetto - Wikipedia, in English Dragée - Wikipedia, but I wouldn’t call “confetti” the ones in the second link’s images.

According to some philosophies, everything is politics, so all the threads would have to be automatically muted.

Edit: This was the meme I was commenting on (the link given by someone else below does not work properly):

Right next to each other on Baduk Doctor’s profile.

On the topic of political threads, I’d like them to be confined to a Politics category, so we can just mute that.

Although I find that people who post political views generally insist that they aren’t political. – “WTF? Ukraine / “Pride” flag / whatever is not political!!”

Who’s going to decide what is political and what isn’t, though?

I also believe political topics are scarce enough that they don’t require a specific category.

Anyone who doesn’t want non-strictly Go threads can always mute general chat.

Why a meme about this? Isn’t this how it’s always done? :sweat_smile:

I’m really not gonna get involved in so-called “political” threads (or discussions) just right now.

However, there’s a special place in pedantry hell for those who put the No symbol behind what they want to oppose :face_with_monocle:.

Edit: Apparently I’m automatically not allowed to quote from a different thread?

I know there is such a place in hell. It is next to place where the humourless people go.
So I guess we will meet again :innocent:

Chinese checkers is played with pegs, pieces, or marbles. I couldn’t find an example of chinese checkers stones… same with draughts (checkers).

Chinese checkers marbles are made of glass, and as you know, some go “stones” are made of glass, but are called “stones” nonetheless.

Edit: Indeed, glass is made of silica, a mineral constituent that takes the forms of sand and quartz. Glass is also listed in the Dictionary of Geological Terms (AGI, 1957). Consequently, the use of “stone” is entirely appropriate.

I was going to provide an example of checkers pawns made of marble but then I got caught in a loop from pawns to marble then marbles then pegs then…

Why… why do you call glass spheres “marbles”???
What would you call marble cubes? Bananas??? :rofl:
