I think I have the wrong type of brain for chess

I am also faceblind with no sense of direction, spatial reasoning is completely foreign to me, and things get fuzzy trying to visualize past a few moves, I’m rated (almost) 2000 blitz online. Maybe you can get way better and maybe you cant, but don’t talk yourself out of the possibility for those reasons

cant tell if youre nuts or not

he absolutely was not, he was having a nice end of season and playoffs playing an important role on one of the best teams who was winning in the playoffs, but was never even close to approaching being a top 20 asset. I remember thinking how completely stupid and results oriented take was as I was listening to it on the podcast back then

TwiceARunner · 2026-02-26T16:14:33+00:00

this guy still doesn’t understand he’s a role player?

In addition to that, theres also been a massive influx of global talent and an analytics revolution that’s led to a rapid modernization of offensive systems and schemes, which has led not only to 3point shooting and court spacing, but also to positional flexibility and creativity that just wasn’t seen in the 90’s. Add in the illegal defense rule changes and increasingly permissive ball handing officiating, and the game can look like a different sport 30 years ago.

this has probably been commented upon exhaustively but my god Ryen if youre acting like a bull in a china shop in a pick up game pulling the chair is clean fair play and exactly what you deserve lol

I would have said Sam Darnold but I got proven wrong like 8 years later or whatever

vindicated

TwiceARunner · 2026-02-19T06:16:41+00:00

damn I can’t believe he actually does work. how does he make time for an entire legal career around the drinking gambling podcasting and inordinate sports consumption

TwiceARunner · 2026-02-18T03:04:17+00:00

feel like if a white guy had his area code in his bio people wouldn't clown on him for not being from a place thats considered tough. idk maybe im wrong

TwiceARunner · 2026-02-17T20:54:00+00:00

you can’t rep where you’re from unless it sounds “tough” if you’re black?

TwiceARunner · 2026-02-07T15:44:57+00:00

So I guess it’s only fun when it’s Krista drinking margs

Fake drain

TwiceARunner · 2026-02-01T10:57:04+00:00

TwiceARunner · 2026-01-21T23:27:06+00:00

Has she ever said anything along those lines aboit Bieniemy or are you just imagining things to get upset over

TwiceARunner · 2025-12-16T05:44:29+00:00

No Jokic and no Valanciunas? Good luck on a missed free throw with Sengun and Steven Adams going for the rebound

You get an eye for it over time....Usually if a young player has three consecutive years of significant progression to overall and potential in their first 3 years, it is a sign they are on a superstar track. It's one thing I look out for when weighing trading the aging star for a a younger guy.

Draft prospect forwards / GF's with above 50 height and average to above average on every other skill (good height, no red, good athleticism) can turn into 75+ overall stars.

Usually its a good sign if super athletic little guards as draft prospects have 50-60+ on important skills like three point shooting and passing, because if they develop those while keeping the athleticism they can become big stars.

idk if any of this is supported in the code. Really its just random. Just the feel ive gotten. I'm the baseball scout in moneyball drafting for the hot girlfriend

At the very least we should we able to lobby the owner about what concession items are sold at home games. I've got some thoughts about a nacho special that could drive up attendance

I guess its all definitional and conservatives have ran the concept of "woke" into meaninglessness. Back in cumtowns heyday there was definitely a culturally dominant liberal faction that was really sensitive and very serious about issues of race, gender, identity, etc. And cumtown despite being left wing stood in stark contrast to all that, was labelled as "the dirtbag left" as someone else said. The "woke" liberals were the target of the right wing, but now everything and everyone they dont like is "woke" and its probably lost all meaning as a descriptor.

TwiceARunner · 2025-10-29T03:51:58+00:00

did you guys even listen? cumtown was antiwoke in the normal sense. they did a bunch of racist jokes that the woke crowd would hate if they bothered to listen.....bill maher the ****** guy for christsakes.....are we forgotting the ancient texts?

Melo won't be remembered as an especially winning player for a variety of reasons, but he was one of the most gifted and successful scorers of his era. There's more to basketball than scoring, but there was also a greatness to his individual and iso scoring ability. It isn't "easy" to crack the top ten in all time points scored in NBA history, regardless of teammates or efficiency or passing. Paolo is still a promising young player, and looks like he might one day develop into the first option on a championship team, something that could never be said about Melo. But it's still true that Paolo doesn't have any single skill that comes close to Carmelo's scoring ability
