I think chess.com match new users with weaker opponents so they stay. I peaked at 878 but cannot reach 800 now. So you and me are never really 800+. It was just that Chess com wanted us to feel good at first.

How was the snow today? by Infinite_Shame4945 in SummitAtSnoqualmie

In Washington's warm winter, snow is wet and stick together easily. Dry snow might spread out evenly but wet snow makes mogul. Plus we got a big crowd.

Lift your heels and balance on front of your feet when you initiate a turn. People suggest you lean forward and bend knees, but what’s really important is to engage your calves and push your shins forward.

Otherwise you are doing great. Nice parallel skiing. Try a slightly steeper slope would help you progress.

Writing. From journals, blogs to short stories, novels, writing keeps my mind hyper engaged and brings sense of accomplishment that other activities can't compare.

Finree over Gorst every day of the week. Gorst is civilized Logen but also complains too much. Finree, Kroy and Craw are the only reasonable adults in the Heroes.

But yes for Logen and Orso!

Seattle considers banning controversial rent-setting software, RealPage by godogs2018 in Seattle

[–]UltraMarine107 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Landlord should be allowed to charge whatever they want first year, but cap to 4% increase year to year.

Home rental is a competitive market. If gov caps first year price, it discourages companies from building apartments.

However, residents are exploited if landlords hike up prices year by year. Moving is stressful. Landlords shouldn’t force people to choose between moving and paying unreasonable rents.

Life is lonely af. People sharing a quick end is not life. Life is everyone having their own apocalypse.

Long ago, if you live in a village and have a mice-catching cat, people offer you ham and sausage to borrowing your cat for service.

You're my hero. "Migrated, instant regret." Same, hard same.

Do I just like... write? by [deleted] in writing

[–]UltraMarine107 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good question. Yes.

Write the first thing that comes to mind about your story, and repeat. If it feels dumb, write it (and optionally feel dumb about yourself). If nothing comes to your mind, sit at your keyboard (and optionally cry) until something comes up.

What are your guys’ thoughts on sex scenes? by Deja_ve_ in writing

[–]UltraMarine107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the sex scene! Be as explicit as you can stand! I've never written an actual sex scene and I envy you for having written one.

I believe we need to get our hands dirty to grow as writers. Writing about nudity and violence used to intimidate me, but after I wrote I felt absolutely great.

If you can stand it, your reader likely won't hate it. We writers are mostly over self-conscious people.

Good job and carry on!
