  • The term “check mate” literally means “the king is dead”.

    We know the word for king from other known forms like “sheikh” or “Shah”. I don’t think the word for “dead” was loaned to English from Persian or Arab in any phrases or sayings except “check mate”.

    Yeah, but it’s about killing the king. It’s also about protecting your own king, so not a game of republicanism.

    Edit: because of the other comment, I thought this was c/ADHD. So the text reads a bit weird. Sorry.

    Original: Firstly, sorry, I’m commenting as a person who doesn’t have ADHD (that I know of). But I always feel a certain way when people in general say, that there’s nothing to do. Now, I don’t know in which capacity ADHD affects you in creating or finding things to do. But I feel like, there could always be something to do.

    Here are a few examples:

    • make a wreath out of flowers
    • practice your handstand
    • guess cloud shapes
    • take a plunge in the lake
    • let flower petals float on the lake
    • built one of those stone towers that hikers always do

    Or honestly, hiking back sounds like a good idea. Half an hour is an acceptable amount of time to stay at the peak/ any resting spot.
