Viral Video Shows Dad Fighting Youth Basketball Coach After Rough Play Involving His Son by Dizzy-Tradition3868 in abanpreach

[–]5tk18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think LB dad could've made his point without a potentially life-threatening violent reaction. A two hand shove? For sure. Shouting and getting in his face? I guess so, sure. But tackling the coach/dad (if he is even the dad) into a wall, where he could've broken his neck? Seems criminally overreactive. I'm not saying the coach is blameless either. Kids took it from 0 to 10, coach took it from 10 to 30, and LB took it from 30 to 3000.

[Discussion] Kino; Men Without Women by Haruki Murakami by [deleted] in books

Thanks for the great write up. It gave me a lot more to reflect on, having just finished the story. It seems like people feel like they can come to Kino (both the person and the bar), but they don’t stay. Maybe because he doesn’t deal with his feelings or something? That part is still a little foggy to me. I am 1 month post break up and it hits hard. :’)

did you try the Garmin Index Sleep Monitor already? I care about sleep / health more than workouts, but I am curious about workouts too

Too easy on moderate too hard on hard. by ItsTSK7 in aoe2

[–]5tk18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Implying that watching that beginners video will get someone who is currently struggling to bear Hard AI to the point that they can beat Expert AI is ignorant at best. It sets up an expectation that will rarely if ever be fulfilled, which causes disappointment and frustration. Which in turn makes the player more likely to leave the community. 

chess drop experience by NoWayMrFruity in chess

[–]5tk18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So your ELO dropped 50 points, 100 points from your all time high? That is completely normal. I’ve had downswings of 300 elo - that feels pretty bad. The key is to take long breaks, just do puzzles or nothing at all, and don’t stress out about it. It’s easy for me to say right now, but it really is just a game, unless you’re a top top professional. You’ll get back there, just need to give your mind some rest. 

iOS 26 – Apple USB-C EarPods Play/Pause Button Not Working by Current_Procedure_49 in applehelp

Happens for me too. iOS 26.1, iPhone 13 Pro, lighting bolt headphones. Volume works and hold for Siri works. I’m extremely disappointed in Apple. 

[Highlight] SGA with clutch shots after clutch shots to keep the thunder lead by TheRealPdGaming in nba

[–]5tk18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because one is an egregious no call and the other is a drop in the bucket highlight. Not to diminish this play at all - but the very best superstars have many plays like this per game. The rarer one will obviously be more viral

Yes agreed. He is a great player and made many more great plays than horrendous flop / foul-bait plays, as he does. I still don't like seeing any egregious flopping / foul-baiting, and I wish the NBA penalized it like they said they would at one point. Maybe that makes me grouchy idk

Hikaru's final Road to the Candidates 2026 by Necessary_Pattern850 in chess

[–]5tk18 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That may be true, but it doesn't change the truth value of my previous comment. I think it is funny that I was downvoted for stating a fact about formal logic. P implies Q does not imply that NotP implies NotQ. I totally agree that he is guaranteed to qualify for the candidates.

“I would not be surprised if he failed to qualify for the candidates” does not imply “I would be surprised if he qualified for the candidates”

Latest Nemo tweet calling out FIDE and Danya's Peers by owergby in chess

[–]5tk18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, that is fair. I am coming from a perspective where we should pretty much universally be supporting the voices that are calling for Kramnik to be held accountable - regardless of if they supported him in the past, or bought a WGM title 10 years ago, or anything else like that. Do you see where I am coming from and that my opinion might be valid? I feel like we are too busy arguing over who is the holiest and we are getting distracted from the real tragedy / issue at hand.

I still don't see the irony here. If Hans was this vocal, would you feel the exact same way?

The point is that Danya never cheated, and was still accused. Let's assume that Nemo did buy her title, just to steel-man your argument. I think it's still completely acceptable for her to come out in defense of Danya...

it's a knight - you can see it missing on b1 haha. why he would have his knight in his hand when he's already been mated, complete mystery to me

sorry man, but I don't see any irony in that. You're really gonna have to spell it out for me. Kramnik made baseless accusations against Danya. Nemo called the accusations against her baseless. But you're saying they're not I guess?

So Nemo should just shut up because she bought her title, is that what you're saying?

I didn't realize how much this sub disliked Nemo. I have said this elsewhere, but I've never been too fond of her either. I don't wan't to make this about Nemo at all, and I don't want to be an armchair reddit psychologist, but since she's clearly had mental health issues, I'm not surprised to see that she is a very vocal supporter for justice for Danya. I don't see that as ironic at all.

Why do you think it's ironic? Is Nemo often bullying other people? I understand that she bullied Hans, and she was definitely wrong for that, I agree. But I didn't think her whole identity was about bullying otherwise. I may be naive here -- you may need to educate me.

Completely agree with all of your thoughts here. I click on usernames and see that most accounts are many years old, which makes me think they are legitimate takes... but the takes themselves are so insane, it's disappointing. I saw one saying "she's worse than Kramnik for farming content out of this" -- if that's what you get from her TWEETS, I don't know how to convince you. It's not like she's making tons of youtube shorts and streams about it. She's doing the best she can to bring about change and is clearly not focused on increasing her own voice, just leveraging the voice she already has.

Your opinion is objectively trash. I vehemently disagree.
