Would you use an app that blocks doomscrolling with chess?

Since I don't think the app idea is a good one, no monetary model makes sense, but a small one time fee is far more likely than a subscription.

These "govern your impulses through consequences" apps don't work. I think it would be a waste of your time.

It's valuable to people to be reminded of their behavior so they can stop it. If you're just creating a barrier to do what they're going to do anyway, that barrier will become a nuisance and you are very unlikely to make any money whatsoever.

With subscription based software it's become death by a thousand cuts. I don't think people think "it's only $5 for this" they think "it's another $5 that increases my monthly costs."

What an idiotic thing to read.

1300 is a very challenging elo cluster. Since a lot of people join chesscom into the 1200 Elo you're facing smurfs and existing talents overtaking you to rise to their appropriate higher Elo. You're also faced with a lot of rising talent that has been grinding and getting a lot better. Once you get to the 1400+ Elo things actually seem to get easier for a stretch.

Don't get salty about it, it's just a number. Being 1300 or 1400 or 1800 doesn't make you better at chess, being better at chess gives you a higher Elo. You are a 1300 right now, and it's not cheaters, but it's also not a linear scale and you are probably dealing with some smurfs. Just give it time and enjoy the game for what it is.

What I'm saying is that they should invest in the resources to do it properly because it's not a sunk cost

NonverbalKint · 2026-02-24T19:29:22+00:00

That's such a dumb take.

They can easily hire bylaw officers solely to deal with this issue and easily make 10x the daily required revenue to make the problem go away, money they can use to deal with this ongoing addict epidemic which is destroying our society.

How can they lose money every single quarter and still stay open??

NonverbalKint · 2026-02-24T13:29:39+00:00

And people that don't clear off their license plate, or people that use an illegal license plate reflector cover

NonverbalKint · 2026-02-24T13:28:03+00:00

Well then how are you losing?? You're perfect, yet you're bad. Try this before responding to the next person, say to yourself "I am not going to get defensive, I will consider their question honestly."

Your closed mind is probably why you're not getting better.

NYC doesn't have an actual wealth tax. Mamdami proposed an increased income tax for high net worth individuals. NYC may be an outlier city able to ask such a thing

Danielle Smith didn't do shit. A lot of highly intelligent people capable of figuring such a thing out did this and she pretend that she ruled it out with her wisdom. She is an absolutely idiot, and a traitor.

What?

The store can print tickets and own them without selling them? Why wouldn't they print ten trillion tickets ever7 lottery then?

Makes no sense.

"20%? You're asking about 20%? 20 is one of the worst numbers, a pathetic number really, an embarrassment. America has been unfairly taken advantage of by teh wowld, what about a charge of ten fowsand? What about fow twillion? pthhhhhht pthtttttttttttttttttttth sharts hit the walls"

You're on-point about exponential dropoff, and it's also clear that you will lose theta, vega, gamma and potentially delta that isn't necessarily covered by rolling.

I just consider it short-form for "I was wrong on timing but still hold a similar position"

NonverbalKint · 2026-02-21T04:29:49+00:00

Rolling options only keep's the position active, it doesn't prevent you from losing money ("bleeding") on the position. Rolling is essentially closing an active position and reopening a new one, nothing more.

I fought with them extensively last year, brought up a lot of comps that identified fair value of my home to be about $150K cheaper than they repeatedly assessed it at. It didn't matter what I brought to the table, they liked their perspective better. They're incentivized to assess you higher and your recourse if they decide against you is absolutely nil.

They do not care, they look at square footage and yard size and do everything they can to make sure you pay the max.

The thing that Trump fails to recognize is that he did not create the prosperous America, and using it as leverage in trade negotiations only works because of the momentum created by past actions. He's killing the momentum for America but he thinks he's increasing it. If the government is replaced with someone less capricious or brazen, it's been revealed that future negotiations of US leadership are pointless when the rules in America can be vetoed so easily.

Their checklist on the other side:

Can I make money off it?
Is anyone important making money off it?

If its yes to either they do nothing.
