Solid Mantis's definitions
The person who made the first chess board and pieces made the queen the most powerful piece on the board to make the game difficult, since people would lose interest in it quickly if anybody could do well at it the first time they played without trying.
The queen is the most powerful piece in chess because the queen can do things no other piece can do, the queen has always had more freedom than any any other chess piece. Think of what you could get done in chess if more pieces had the freedom to make as many different moves as the queen makes. Theres too many people that think life is exactly like chess or monopoly, that it's all a game for everybody.

Get the Chessmug. Not everybody you meet in life is your friend, therefore it's unrealistic to think everybody will live together as friends if they never have.
Not everybody is your friend, and there's no good reason to trust somebody who thinks you need to unify with enemies.

Get the Friendmug. The coronavirus didn't change life for everybody. It was never strong enough, and life is worth losing.
If you know who doesn't want things to return to the way they were before the coronavirus, you know who's been benefitting the most from the country getting closer and closer to a totalitarian state.

Get the Goody two shoesmug. Different than calibrating.
I'm trying hard to think of you as a gangster now, I dont want to underestimate you. It's an adjustment, you really were a dork 25 to 30 years ago, but some people believe that people change, and you try and adjust to how their beliefs are impacting everything and everyone around them, as they become their evil alter ego and are no longer who they were growing up any more.
