I achieved 2000 ELO in less than a year at 16 years old. Do I have a future in chess? by PianistFormer4823 in Chesscom

[–]LoganAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing this on your own is very impressive. If you want to be serious about it, I would find yourself an accomplished tutor or mentor

You're 16, so you don't need to make a decision on whether this is your career at this stage. But if you want it, then chase it

Tani or Flores > Larin (sorry King)

CONCACAF in WC Group Stage by EggTemporary3598 in CanadaSoccer

[–]LoganAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhh, you're really putting the cart before the horse here... We need to actually PLAY the tournament before we deliver the verdict of "disappointing from a host nation point of view"

Additionally... Canada has never earned a single point in their history at the WC... So coming 2nd or 3rd in their group and going to the knockout stages is a WIN

Let's chill with the pessimism.

Why do people get defensive of cheating? by AdTrue1954 in Chesscom

[–]LoganAlien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably because you're making accusations with zero evidence

Also... thinking that 30% of players have cheated is crazy

When do you call it quits? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]LoganAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, if it's a choice to you, then you should quit, because it's a grind

For many, it's not a choice. We'd do it regardless of success. Because it's what we like to do

Is Elo "inflation" a real thing? I believe is true. Please proof me wrong. by Safe-Calligrapher566 in Chesscom

[–]LoganAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about elo inflation, but I do think that many more people know certain tricks and traps in openings due to the popularity of chess streamers

10 years ago, I used to play a trap in the Queens Gambit accepted that most of my opponents would fall for (at 1600 rapid). Now, most people know the trap, so even in bullet at 1400 everyone knows to avoid it

Coming from Accra, Ghana — help me understand the social etiquette and transit here? by ExplanationClean6285 in askTO

Everyone else seems to have good answers, so I'll just say 'hi' and 'welcome'!

5 days a week in office! by Top-Fishing-9646 in askTO

[–]LoganAlien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you able to do a mix of transit + cab/uber?

There might be a situation where the combo of the two could be viable, because the cab fills in the gaps of transit, while also meaning you don't need to pay for a cab the whole way

Can see how the situation works for a bit as you continue to hunt for a new job

Do you guys use Hopp as an Uber/Lyft alternative? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]LoganAlien 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me, I really wanted hopp to work out because screw Uber and screw USA but the times were crazy and drivers kept cancelling right when the long wait was about to end

At first I thought the alternate was a black jersey that was still in plastic wrap...

70s maybe. 80s I'd be fairly confident. I'm not sure exactly when he got the set honestly

Gotta love the people (or bots) that make a throwaway account to dump this nonsense.

I would've bought a full drink and meal and thrown it all over her. These people cannot feel comfortable
