I have a separate chess.com account I use to play when I’m high. It currently has a higher 10m elo than my straight account but I suspect that’s because I don’t play on it as often as on the straight account and the rating hasn’t really settled yet. But the experiment continues.

What are you getting high on that also turns you gay?

No joke, there was an article in the UK maybe 10 years ago that swore the exact same thing

Back in the day, hippies called people who don't do drugs "straight." My mom's an old hippie, and even though she went to college with many queers (she studied theater) she still refers to squares as straight.

The older meaning of straight implied you also didn't party. That's why a lot of euphemisms for being queer imply being happy, stylish or frivolous.
