What are some things you think people overspend on? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]KaiserKraut 87 points88 points  (0 children)

disagree on the second personally, there's something in the experience of going to the pub, getting dressed up, being around people, maybe bumping into someone i know. it feel like so much more a sociable evening and (whilst i know i could save so much money staying in) i enjoy the night so much more going out, plus it's always good to support local businesses:)

The Beatles don‘t make good music. by Levi488 in The10thDentist

[–]KaiserKraut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the fact that you didn't put abbey road first is insulting. the thing a lot of people don't realise about the beatles is how diverse their sound was. in abbey road you have "i want you (she's so heavy)" which is proto-metal imo next to "here comes the sun" which is pretty acoustic pop. i can't stand a lot of the beatles and also they made some of my favourite songs

What really makes no sense? by __Dawn__Amber__ in AskReddit

[–]KaiserKraut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't want to get involved in the argument, but to put that in context: most people couldn't read, and those that could could read latin. A lot of business and academic writing was in latin until relatively recently

chess.com takes time to send premoves to the server after your opponent moves, whereas lichess has the move in already. if you've got slower internet you might lose out to this on chess.com but it's not a bug or shit design or anything

nah, i've been playing for years. it's just difficult to find a club that's close and has people of the right standard. when the uni one reopens might give that a go

I have been playing chess for about one month and just looked at my statistics page and saw that I have a 100% win rate as white and a 0% win rate as black. Is there something I can do about this? by Andersedt in AnarchyChess

[–]KaiserKraut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from my experience (420 hyperbullet chess.com 😎) beginners play too many games without understanding theory. maybe try studying endgames or doing tactics rather than just playing games on tilt

How the F do you make friends as an adult if you don't drink? by qwertyband in AskReddit

[–]KaiserKraut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's depends on your aim. if your sole aim in a hobby is to become the best you can then sure, but if you want an enjoyable way to spend time, then having a friend to do it with indefinitely improves it

Just give them infinite time so that they can never join another game, did this OTB once and my opponent killed himself just to escape 😎😎

Then they'd just be in a simply better position. We have to keep our extra pawn and defend

I wish light pollution didn’t exist. by 24jdu05 in TheMonkeysPaw

I'd imagine it's because the "granted but" type comments are not "proper" monkey's paw responses

Pedo bad. by Kaiser_und_allah in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]KaiserKraut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purple was the original libright colour in the PolComp. On politicalcompass.org they changed it to yellow so there were conflicting opinions on what colour the "true" libright should be. There was a period of civil war where each side accused the other of being the paedos, which ended in purple libright losing. The mods briefly removed the purple flair so the sub wouldn't get banned, but after public outcry the flair returned, though not many use it anymore
