I’m stateside, and I torrented something once without a VPN and got an email complaint from my ISP not long after.

Don’t fall for it, it’s a classic blunder! Promoting to king makes it twice as easy to get checkmated! Article 1, section 2 of the FIDE Laws of Chess, states:

The objective of each player is to place the opponent’s king ‘under attack’ in such a way that the opponent has no legal move. The player who achieves this goal is said to have ‘checkmated’ the opponent’s king and to have won the game.

Note that it specifies “king” and not “kings” - the opponent only has to checkmate one of them to win!

I’d say most of them are protestants, but there’s been a trend of a certain type of far-right “RETVRN TO TRADITION” wingnuts converting and becoming hardline tradcaths in the last decade or so. Those people absolutely would seethe over a black pope.

Now that you mention it, I think you might be right… My memory’s not the best lol. From the other replies, it seems that the rarity of redeye these days comes from the timing of modern cameras’ flash, not whether or not it uses film.

Wait, do digital cameras not do the red eye effect? Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve seen a photo with red eye in it in a long time, but I had always assumed that was a consequence of the camera flash, not the film…

Edit: TIL that camera redeye does come from the flash, but it hasn’t been much of a thing these days because today’s phones/cameras adjust the flash timing to compensate. Thanks for the replies!
