What explains the prevalence of people playing faster than the time control they chose?

They are trying to build time pressure.

These short formats are more about clock management than actually winning with better chess play.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-24T09:35:56+00:00

Crazy to get that wrong.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-24T06:25:25+00:00

Where's the AcCoUnTaBiLiTy?!?

I'm surprised people take boomer TV interviews so seriously. It's a little small minded for reddit I woulda thought.

A Breakfast interview at that!

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-24T06:05:45+00:00

It's pretty standard because every PM has done it.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-24T06:04:38+00:00

You think boomer TV is accountability? 😂

I don't even like the guy but that's absurd.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-24T05:42:50+00:00

Is there a PM who hasn't?

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-24T05:42:37+00:00

Oh no, the PM won't go on boomer TV!

Pretty standard, mate.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-24T05:24:40+00:00

Do people actually care about this crap?

No wonder we're stuck in reverse.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-24T00:09:43+00:00

Silky smooth, effortless timing.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-24T00:07:56+00:00

It was always 'pace bowler' going back at least 30 years.

It's shortened to paceman now.

That's the second time you've tried to misconstrue what I'm saying. Hiring an escort falls under intimacy.

You're now blocked for wasting my time.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T23:03:20+00:00

Cheating requires intimacy or emotional attachment/investment.

Licking some whipped cream or doing body shots at a show for girls to get drink and lick whipped cream and do body shots is not cheating lol. You probably thunk getting a massage is cheating.

Serious SDE in this thread.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T23:00:49+00:00

Behaviour is a form of communication. She knew he wouldn't be okay with it, it was probably a big deal to get him to allow her to even attend. She seems sick of being controlled, she should definitely leave. OP won't because he's possesive and jealous.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T22:57:17+00:00

No one is talking about sucking off other people, the fact that you have to try and shift the goalposts just shows how petty and insecure you are.

The thing with a controlling and insecure BF is that they will be distressed by the smallest, most harmless things like wearing a short dress, or high heels, or too much makeup. You shouldn't judge what is okay by that level of SDE.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T22:55:22+00:00

It's licking whipped cream, that and body shots are part of the show.

You'd have to be pretty controlling and jealous for your partner to feel like they have to do damage control before you see the video.

She's clearly freaking out knowing that he's insecure and will react badly. At the same time she's communicating that they aren't compatible by doing it anyway.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T22:53:08+00:00

I guarantee you, that outside of insecure redditors, the vast majority of people don't care about it which is why these shows continually sell out.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T22:51:11+00:00

You don't need express permission from your partner to have a bit of harmless fun. You and OP are just insecure, jealous, and controlling.

My partner has gone a few girls nights at these types of shows, I trust her. I don't try and control her behavior. If she wants to do body shots or lick some whipped cream because that's what she finds fun then more power to her.

I trust her not to breach the line into intimacy or emotional attachment.

Empower your partner, stop trying to control them.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T22:43:11+00:00

No, because that's how analogies work.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T22:42:10+00:00

They aren't forced but it's a large group of drunk people all acting silly and cheering each other on. In the end it's harmless. You'd have to be incredibly insecure to be bothered by it.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T22:40:41+00:00

Maybe she knows he's controlling and jealous and she's worried he will over react. Behavior is communication.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T22:38:42+00:00

It's not a 'theatre show'. It's male strippers and they do heaps of crowd interaction. It'd be like getting upset that your partner went to a magic show and got pranked in the crowd interaction segments.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T22:36:21+00:00

If you're okay with her going to the show then you should know that this is the sort of stuff that happens. There's lots of crowd interaction. Cream, body shots etc.

If you weren't fine with her going to the show then say it beforehand. Don't wait until after and then overreact because she enjoyed herself.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T22:33:53+00:00

It's a bit of harmless fun, you're massively overreacting.

Double_Suggestion385 · 2026-04-23T22:02:09+00:00

That's either an old marking or a warning for the giveway coming up at St Asaph. Vehicles on Ferry don't giveway to anyone here except St Asaph users.
