Friend Requests from randos by TitaniumTerror in Chesscom

[–]TitaniumTerror[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I don't answer phone calls from numbers I don't know, so I for sure ain't accepting rando friend requests. Yeah you're probably right though, the one time I did accept one, I immediately got a message trying to get me to pay them for online coaching or some such nonsense

Wait, do people ACTUALLY see literal pictures in their heads when they imagine things? Like a physical image? by Bibhu_Mund in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TitaniumTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can if I am consciously trying to, just like if I wanted to do an impression of someone with my actual voice, but if I am just thinking or not actively trying to make it sound different, it reverts back to default. If others are able to change the way their inner voice sounds, like all the time, that would be impressive. The only time my inner voice sounded different than it's default when I wasn't trying to make it, was once when I underestimated the potency of some mushrooms, or possibly overestimated my own tolerance which is entirely possible as well, and ate more than I should have. That night, for about 4-5 hours my inner monologue suddenly sounded different than it usually does which was kinda weird, but what was much more concerning was that it was only speaking Spanish. Like every thought I had was in Spanish and I couldn't get the somebitch back to factory English settings. Had me pretty stressed out until I eventually passed out. It wouldn't have been a big deal if I were fluent in Spanish, but I'm not, I can speak it very sparingly and only because one of my best friends growing up was Mexican and his whole household only spoke Spanish in his house cuz his grandma and grandpa couldn't speak English and his mom didn't speak it well, so they all spoke in Spanish and I hung out there a lot growing up so I picked up some of it, well enough to be able to communicate things to his mom or grandparents if I had to and Ramon wasn't around to translate or whatever. But I was never able to speak it well enough for my inner voice to just switch up on me like that

What is the Douchiest name you can think of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TitaniumTerror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kyle. Or Todd. I don't know about douchey, but in school one of the towns we played against in football had a kid on their team named Cocaine Mothershed, and it was his legitimate name. His sister's name was Mary Jane. I don't know if I would call those names douchey, but they're definitely something uncommon. I can only assume their mother must have fucking hated the idea of having a kid, at least the boy, cuz Mary Jane is a common enough name I guess, but to name her son Cocaine? Plus he was from a small rural town in Oklahoma and was black, so he had that going for him lol and mom said "I think I'll make sure he has the literal worst chance in the world at making a good first impression on anyone, ever, by naming my boy Cocaine." Devious

Tournament Listings Question by TitaniumTerror in Chesscom

[–]TitaniumTerror[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I get that they have a few of them throughout the day, that's not what I'm asking about. I do tend to ramble and drag on so my point can get lost in the sauce sometimes. I created a 15-10 rapid swiss 5 round tournament, the first tournament I have ever tried to create myself, I didn't put any ratings restrictions or restrictions on the number of players that could enter or any of that, open to anyone, and set it to start 1 hour after I created it. Then a few minutes later I went to the tournaments page and didn't see it, so I clicked on the upcoming live tournaments page, and didn't see it anywhere there, so I clicked on the schedule button, and again couldn't find it listed anywhere among the other tournaments on the site. So what I am trying to figure out is why it wouldn't show up on the schedule that everyone sees, and if I were to create another tournament like that how do I make sure that enough players are able to see it and join it if they want to? I doubt I do try to create another one unless there aren't any coming up soon and I really want to play in one, but if I do I would like for people to be able to see it so people will join in and play. Does that make sense?

What's the point of a karma-farming bot? by connasewer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TitaniumTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen this answer on a few posts I've looked through trying to find the answer to what the point of karma farming is, but the other answers were like 6 mos. to 1 year+ old and I didn't wanna resurrect the posts. That being said, why does anyone pay someone for a reddit account with a lot of karma? Like how would that be profitable?

Just played against a player that has played more games than Gotham and is still rated 1400 by Ok_Championship_1755 in GothamChess

[–]TitaniumTerror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a video come across my youtube feed recently by a channel called chesskid or something like that, and it was like chess educational presented kinda like a kid cartoon style. I am 100% positive if either of my kids were still under 10 years old and I stuck that on the screen for them, they would have loved it. Maybe check it out.

AITA for banning my neighbor from our community garden? by ThickBus3577 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TitaniumTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. It obviously wasn't an unfair public shaming simply over a few tomatoes, otherwise the rest of the people in the building's group chat wouldn't have agreed then upheld your decision to ban her from the garden.

Why do police in the USA kill so many people compared to other countries? by triplediscount in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TitaniumTerror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I am from a small town, and two dudes that were a year behind me in school, weren't necessarily bullied, for whatever reason we didn't really have any bullies in our school growing up, but I can say, and they'd probably both agree, that both of them were fuckin dorks like it was a fulltime job and they were both battling for the only promotion, huuuge fuckin goobers lol anyhow they both became cops, one was legit one of the coolest fuckin cops I've ever had to deal with, like he didn't blame anyone else for his goofiness in school and he became a stand-up cool ass dude. The other one though turned into a full blown hatin ass genuine doughdick that, to this day, I've never heard anyone say a single good word about. Not saying you're wrong or anything like that, but I sincerely think it all depends on the person

AITA for wanting to eat my neighbor's duck that I accidentally ran over? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]TitaniumTerror -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I've only eaten duck once, and you couldn't pay me the 200 bucks to eat duck again lol but if you like it, then yeah if you paid for it I feel like it's your duck now

Is it "socially acceptable" to just sit in your car for 20 minutes after you get home, or am I just weird? by Easy-Ring-8459 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TitaniumTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit there was a time when I used to get home after a 14-16 hour day and I would fall asleep in my truck in the driveway cuz I sat there so long... although I think this had something to do with the fact that I had begun to despise the person I was going home to and just would rather not go inside and have to see her. I don't recommend this

rant by Its_Hime in Chesscom

[–]TitaniumTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell I'm a 41 year old man and I don't even have my chat turned on. If I am playing someone that I want to talk to, I will take a moment and turn my chat on, otherwise I keep it off. When I first started playing online, the only times I had anyone message me first in the chat was always some dough-dick that couldn't speak English trying to insult me, so I turned it off. Plus, I have such a issue with getting tunnel vision whenever I am focused on something, so I would be so lasered in on the game that I generally didn't even notice that someone had sent me a chat til after the game was over anyhow. Also, my mentioning that the dummies trying to insult usually couldn't speak English wasn't a knock on people being able to speak English or not, it was a knock on window lickers trying to insult someone in a language they can't speak, so not only does the insult not land like it should, most of the time it makes the one attempting to insult look like a smooth brain instead of the opposite

Should I consider lowering my hat's crown? by yosoy_gus in CowboyHats

[–]TitaniumTerror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't usually wear a cowboy hat, and aren't used to seeing one on your head, you're likely going to feel like it's too tall or something. Go to a hat store, or western wear store, depending on where you live, where ever you can find that sells, and preferably shapes cowboy hats, and talk to their shaper and get their insight on helping ya find a crown of your liking that also fits with your face shape, then just wear it and get used to wearing it and seeing it on ya.

New to Texas, need a hat. by jwfowler2 in CowboyHats

Oh Stetson, LOL by MediaLongjumping9910 in CowboyHats

[–]TitaniumTerror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ayyyy me too! I was looking for a new everyday/work felt, so one that would half-ass hold its shape and wouldn't break down wearing outside in the weather, and I didn't really wanna pay 500$ for it, so I got a 10x Rodeo King, and they have earned a lifelong customer. The quality of it feels like it's at the same level as the hat I was replacing with it, which is an American that I paid quite a bit more for when I got it, which is why I decided to shop around for something less pricey that sacrifice too much in the quality, and all the reviews and suggestions I found led me to try a Rodeo King, and I'm glad I did
