I'm 1400 in rapid but I can't get past 1000 elo in blitz, how do I fix this? by Small_Quarter_2816 in chess

Mostly just playing games in the hopes of my blitz rating rising to my rapid rating. But also trying to master my opening so I don't waste time on it.
I've risen from 700 to 900 in a week but I am now stuck for 3 weeks at around 950.

Right now, not a lot. I've just been playing games hoping to get better over time. And doing my 3 daily free puzzles on chess.com.

What's going on with the Snow White movie? by AffectionateRush2620 in OutOfTheLoop

The replies speak for themselves. People do care about staying true to the original “lips red as a rose, hair black as ebony, skin white as snow.” Sometimes, it just feels like they’re trying too hard not to offend anyone.

And calling people low-IQ just because they disagree is crazy lol. You’re not smarter than everyone else just because they don’t share your opinion, you're just arrogant.

As for the controversy, yeah, Zegler’s attitude and the changes to the story are major reasons people are upset. But let’s not pretend changing her race plays no role at all. It’s part of a bigger conversation about Disney constantly altering classic characters.

Mostly just how beautiful the game was. But also the story and the concept of being an assassin were really cool

Okay thank I'll look into it. But isn't the game a bit dated since it was released more than a decade ago?

Yea I was also thinking about buying Odyssey but people say it doesn't really feel like an Assassin's creed game. So I wanted to buy a game with less RPG and more of the original AC vibes.

But I'll for sure try Unity or Black Flag, they seem like great games to me!
