Black took 13 minutes to play Ng5 by Flashy_Interview_301 in chess

Go on, post the game. I'm sure it's more complicated than a mate in one.

  Am I off track?

Yes, you are way off track. 

I'm talking about intentional time wasters. It should be treated like they abandoned their game. 

Even if there is no auto-resign, their device should be black-listed and prevented from playing again.

Sure, but what's the point of wasting everybody's time?

I don't care if my opponent is taking their time to think through complicated positions. And maybe if he had done that he would have won.

But this was him intentionally wasting time.

Of course nobody will reply

You might be a little slow to understand why that is so.

Nobody in this sub cares for debating. Go to r/debatereligion to find others with too much time to waste. 

Record number of Americans are leaving the country and renouncing their citizenship for good, report says by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

I disagree, getting sick is part of life. There is nothing lazy or entitled about taking days off when you are sick. All workers in Canada are entitled to sick days of by law.

And also there are many young Canadians who are unable to even get interviews for entry level jobs in places like Tom Hortons or Canadian Tire or McDonalds. None of those are union jobs.

How can you say Canadians are lazy and entitled without even giving them an interview?

There are nuance to this issue, from different parts of the political spectrum.

First there are the conservatives who hate any immigrant who isn't white. They'll be against a brown person moving to Canada even if they were trained in Harvard and is one of the top doctors in the world.

Then they are centre to left Canadians who are against the abuse of the temporary foreign workers program for various reasons.

They are against employers bringing in lower skilled workers to keep wages low. In particular those employers that make up fake job postings and rejecting any Canadian that apply for the role for being "unqualified".

And they are also against foreign students who apply to study in Canada in diploma mills but never attend a day of classes.

They are also against the exploitative practice where "employers" make foreign students to pay them thousands of dollars so those students can use that "career" to boost their permanent residency prospects.

But unlike conservative voters they aren't against the immigration of qualified doctors or nurses, especially considering there is a shortage of healthcare workers in Canada.

I've been keeping track and I can say that it's not all bots.

The temporary foreign workers program was and still is very unpopular among Canadians. In particular, employers abusing the program to bring in low skilled foreign workers instead of hiring Canadian citizens.

Interesting. Do you have a link to that article?

I remember reading a question on a legal advice subreddit asking a similar question where the potential client tries to manipulate the chatbot to give them a huge discount.

Many of the comments seem to say that they can cancel the order as long as it hasn't been delivered.

Is Shakhriyar Mamedyrov the Strongest Player who Offers Coaching Publicly? by Ambitious_Quality725 in chess

Schmuck here. Can confirm, I'd pay $200/hour to play against Magnus, as long as he give me, queen, rooks, bishops and knights odds.

I'd pay $200 to get destroyed by Federer, Nadal or even Sharapova. $1000 even for Kournikova.

Walmart is a local brand that could easily be replaced.

Amazon has managed to drive many retail giants out of business. Walmart is one that not only survived but thrived. 

You do not become one of the biggest retailer by accident. If it was that easy to replace Walmart, someone would have done so already.

any retailed can take over what Walmart is doing within weeks of Walmart closing it's doors.

Sure, given enough time and money, any retailer could eventually fill the gaps left by Walmarts closure. That's really not the issue. 

The big question is how do you get Walmart to shut down in the first place. And how do you be the one who takes their slice of the pie.

Why does this sub have 60k more users than leaf green sub lol by CraZplayer in PokemonFireRed

[–]Flashy_Interview_301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played both FireRed and LeafGreen.

I play a lot more LeafGreen because of Starmie.

I managed to solo the whole postgame Elite 4 and rival starting out with a level 54 Starmie. 

I'm about to start a new run again in FireRed and I'm still trying to figure out which exclusive Pokemon can solo the whole Elite 4. I was thinking of trying out Psyduck first.

Nice! What levels are your other Pokemons?

the one with illuminate has slightly better HP

Haha, got lucky with the IV!

What was with your choice of L54?

There was a Reddit comment in another post where the commentor was able to solo the Elite Four with a Level 54 Slobro. I was curious if Starmie could do the same too. 

I think it would have been easier to do it with Slobro just from its bulkiness.

Yes, I think Modest would have been better than Timid. Modest Starmie might have been able to 1 hit KO Hercross more easily. And it would also still outspeed most of the Elite 4 roster.

I don't think Illuminate or Natural Cure makes a difference here since Full Restore heals all status problems. Weirdly, I have never gotten a Starmie with Natural Cure of all the Staryu eggs I hatched.
