 # Cheating
 
-Cheating means circumventing or downright violating rules, usually while trying to keep this behavior secret. You can cheat on your partner, in games, in business etc., however despite cheating seeming like purely immoral behavior at first, it may be relatively harmless or even completely moral, e.g. in [computer graphics](graphics.md) we sometimes "cheat" our sense of sight and fake certain visual phenomena which leads to efficient rendering algorithms. In [capitalism](capitalism.md) cheating is demonized and people are brainwashed to take part in **cheater witch hunts**.

-The truth is that **cheating is only an issue in a shitty society** that's driven by competition. In such society there is a huge motivation for cheating (sometimes literally physical survival) as well as potentially disastrous consequences of it. Under the tyranny of capitalism we are led to worship heroes and high achievers and everyone gets pissed when we get fooled. Corporations go "OH NOES our multi bilion dollar entertainment industry is going to go bankrupt if consoomers get annoyed by cheaters! People are gonna lose their bullshit jobs! Someone is going to get money he doesn't deserve! Our customers may get butthurt!!!" (as if corporations themselves weren't basically just stealing money and raping people lol). So they start a huge brainwashing propaganda campaign, a cheater witch hunt. States do the same, communities do the same, everyone wants to stone cheaters to death but at the same time the society pressures all of us to compete to death with others or else we'll starve. We reward winners and torture the losers, then bash people who try to win -- and no, many times there is no other choice than to cheat, the top of any competition is littered with cheaters, most just don't get caught, so in about 99% of cases the only way to the top is to cheat and try to not get caught, just to have a shot at winning against others. It is proven time after time, legit looking people in the top leagues of sports, business, science and other areas are constantly being revealed as cheaters, usually by pure accident (i.e. the number of actual cheater is MANY times higher). Take a look e.g. at the [Trackmania](trackmania.md) cheating scandal in which after someone invented a replay analysis tool he revealed that a great number or top level players were just cheaters, including possibly the GOAT of Trackmania [Riolu](riolu.md) (who just ragequit and never showed again lol). Of course famous cases like Neil Armstrong don't even have to be mentioned. Cheater detection systems are (and always will be) imperfect and try to minimize [false positives](false_positive.md), so only the cheaters who REPEATEDLY make MANY very OBVIOUS mistakes get caught, the smart cheaters stay and take the top places in the competitive system, just as surely as natural selection leads to the evolution of organisms that best adapt to the environment. Even if perfect cheat-detection systems existed, the problem would just shift from cheating to immoral unsportmanship, i.e. abuse of rules that's technically not cheating but effectively presents the same kind of problems. How to solve this enormously disgusting mess? We simply have to stop desperately holding to the system itself, we have to ditch it.

 In a good society, such as [LRS](less_retarded_society.md), cheating is not an issue at all, there's no motivation for it (people don't have to prove their worth by their skills, there are no money, people don't worship heroes, ...) and there are no negative consequences of cheating worse than someone [ragequitting](ragequit.md) an online game -- which really isn't an issue of cheating anyway but simply a consequence of unskilled player facing a skilled one (whether the pro's skill is natural or artificial doesn't play a role, the nub will ragequit anyway). In a good society cheating can become a mild annoyance at worst, and it can really be a positive thing, it can be [fun](fun.md) -- seeing for example a skilled pro face and potentially even beat a cheater is a very interesting thing. If someone wants to win by cheating, why not let him? Valid answers to this can only be given in the context of a shit society. In a good society choosing to cheat in a game is as if someone chooses to fly to the top of a mountain by helicopter rather than climbing it -- the choice is everyone's to make.

+{ I am still learning the beautiful game of go, please excuse potential unintentional errors here. ~drummyfish }
+
+Go is an old two-player board [game](game.md) that originated in Asia, one of the most beautiful, deep and popular games of this type in history, whose significance can be compared to that of [chess](chess.md), despite it remaining popular mostly in Asia.
+
+**Compared to chess** the rules of go are much more simple -- which is part of the game's [beauty](beauty.md) (see [easy to learn, hard to master](easy_to_learn_hard_to_master.md)) -- though the emergent complexity of those few rules is grandiose; so much so that to play the game well may be even harder than to play chess, as there are many more possibilities and mere calculation is not enough to be strong, one needs to develop a strong intuition; this is also the reason why it took 20 more years for [computers](computer.md) to beat the best humans in go than in chess. Many say that go is yet deeper than chess and that it offers a unique experience that can't be found anywhere else. The spirit of go is also more [zen](zen.md)-like and peaceful: while chess simulates [war](war.md) (something more aligned with western mentality), go is more about dividing territory, one could even see it not as a battle but rather a creation of beautiful patterns (something better aligned with eastern mentality).

+## Rules
+
+The game's goal is basically to surround a bigger territory than the enemy player. The formal rules are pretty simple, though their implications are very complex.
+
+Go is played by a black and white player who take turns placing stones of one's own color on intersections of lines on the game board. The stones are all the same (there are no different types of stones like in chess) and they cannot move; once a stone is placed, it stays on its position until the end of the game, or until it is captured by the enemy player. The board size is 19x19, but for for students and quick games 13x13 and 9x9 boards are also used. Black plays first, which gives him a slight advantage; for this white gets bonus points at the end of the game, so called *komi*, which is usually set to be 6.5 points (the half point eliminates the possibility of a draw).
+
+Any player can pass on his move, i.e. making a move isn't mandatory. However you basically always want to make a move, you one only passes when he feels there is nothing more to be gained and the game should end. If both player pass consecutively, the game ends.
+
+The *ko* rule states that one mustn't make a move that returns the board to the immediately previous state; this basically applies just to the situation in which the enemy takes your stone and you would just place it back, retaking his capturing stone. By the *ko* rule you cannot do this IMMEDIATELY, but you can still do this any further following round.
+
+**Scoring**: there are multiple scoring systems, but the most common seems to be the following. At the
+
+**Example:** the following is an example of the end state of a beginner game on a 9x9 board:
+
+```
+   _________________
+9 |. # . . # # # O .|
+8 |# . # . # O O . O|
+7 |. . . # # O . O .|

+2 |. . . . # # O # .|
+1 |. . . . # O O O .|
+  '-----------------'
+   A B C D E F G H I
+```
+
+Here black's territory is 23, and black made 9 captures during the game, giving together 32 points. White's territory is 16 and he has one black prisoner (H2), giving 17 points; furthermore white made 6 captures during the game and gets 5.5 (smaller value due to only 9x9 board size) bonus points as komi, totalling 28.5 point. Therefore black wins.

-Jerking off is the easiest solution to satisfying needs connected to fucking women. If you absolutely HAVE to get laid, save up for a prostitute, that's the easiest way and most importantly won't ruin your life. You may also potentially try to hit on some REAL ugly girl that's literally desperate for sex, but remember it has to be the ugliest, fattest whale that you've ever seen, it's not enough to just find a 3/10, that's still a league too high for you that will reject you unless you pay her. Also consider that if you don't pay for sex, there is a 50% chance you will randomly get sued for rape sometime during the following 30 year period. If you want a girlfriend, then rather don't. The sad truth is that to make a woman actually "love" you, as much as one is capable of doing so, you HAVE TO be an enormously evil ass that will beat her to near death, abuse her, rape her and regularly cheat on her -- that's how it is and that's what every man has to learn the hard way -- as we know, the older generation's experience cannot be communicated by words, the young generation always thinks it is somehow different and will never listen. Sadly this is simply how it is -- even if you think you have found the "special one", the one that's different, the intelligent introverted one that's nice and friendly to you, nope, she is still a woman, she won't love you unless you're a murderer dickass beating her daily. If you think getting close to her, being nice and listening to her will make her love you, you're going to hit a brick wall very hard -- this road only ever leads to a friendzone 100% of the times, you will end up carrying her purse while she's shopping without her letting you touch her ever. If you just want a nonsexual girl friend, then it's fine, but you will never make a girlfriend this way. This is not the girl's fault, she is programmed like that, blaming the girl here would be like blaming a child for overeating on candy or blaming a cat for torturing birds for fun; and remember, THE GIRL SUFFERS TOO, she is literally attracted only to those who will abuse her, it is her curse. If anyone's to blame for your suffering, it is you for being so extremely naive -- always remember you are playing with fire. You may still get a girl to stay with you or even marry you and have kids if you have something that will make her want to be with you despite not loving you, which may include being enormously rich, being so braindead to have million subscribers on YouTube, having an enormous 1 meter long dick or literally giving up all dignity and succumbing to being her lifelong slave dog doing literally everything she says when she says it, but that will still get you at most 4/10 and is probably not worth it. { From my experience this also goes for trans girls, so tough luck. ~drummyfish } All in all rather avoid all of this and pay for a prostitute, stay happy <3
