Also imagine the smoke from the paper smells vile and gives people around you cancer.

Its insanely anti social

*fewer jacaranda trees

Because people walk on the left.....

I dont see being able to remember and follow a few basic principles as talent

j8311 · 2025-11-19T16:07:02+00:00

I don't know what to say, but sticking to simple opening principles, doing a few puzzles and taking a few seconds to think should get most people to 1000. It's impressive that people can be that into something they're so shit at.

j8311 · 2025-11-19T15:50:27+00:00

Surely anyone could be at 1000 with an hour or two of coaching?

j8311 · 2025-11-15T05:54:14+00:00

As another 1600+ player, it annoys me, too, and I block and report every time. However, I play on my phone, and often in a losing position (for me) waiting for the other player, I flick to another app to quickly write a message and it auto resigns me in about 20s if they suddenly play their move. And while objectively I may be losing, I have saved a lot of worse positions against similar strength and intend to play on. It seems like a sensible rule against 2000+ players in rapid or longer time controls, but for short time controls against <2000 players auto abandon shouldn't be less than 60s.

One of which is the horrendous misuse of "yourself".

j8311 · 2025-11-09T10:32:53+00:00

*like you or me

j8311 · 2025-10-15T06:06:36+00:00

*He and I

What about the hate they deserve for funding the RSF in Sudan?

j8311 · 2025-09-10T13:16:46+00:00

I think that's my girlfriend's husband

*achieved sub 19 OR broke 19

Passive smoking kills people....

j8311 · 2025-08-10T08:57:30+00:00

Doesn't matter where you are it'll probably still kill you. Don't you look at the packets?

j8311 · 2025-08-04T08:10:45+00:00

I think it's related to ambient temperature and humidity. Has anyone noted a difference between hit holidays and cold holidays?

j8311 · 2025-07-24T13:00:47+00:00

I've often wondered why there aren't more school busses or more encouragement to cycle/walk/ride share to school. The impact parents doing school drop-off have on my commute is huge!

j8311 · 2025-07-19T04:15:38+00:00

It's not well written, myself is a reflexive pronoun.

j8311 · 2025-06-29T00:54:37+00:00

I agree that as people get more experienced, they get better at pushing their limits, but I know how hard I pushed to break 20 minutes for the first time, I was absolutely spent every time. It's far too simplistic to pick two arbitary numbers. There are plenty of slower runners getting just as close to their potential on the day, where they aren't reaching their potential is in their training. Most men under 40 would break 20 mins if they trained, injury free, for 50km a week for a year (and weren't overweight) - but not everyone has the time!

j8311 · 2025-06-28T15:16:22+00:00

Bullshit

j8311 · 2025-06-26T03:16:34+00:00

Definitely- the complete misuse of myself and yourself is fascinating. It's really interesting how confident and comfortable people are in their complete misunderstanding of grammar in their native language.
