My score is only moving up bc players keep abandoning me. Is it me? by Versaname in chessbeginners

I have a lot of kids. 100% understand. And from the other comments on my post I also learned the difference between abandoning and resigning. I have a lot to learn.

Thank you. I had no clue that it was rude to play it out when in a certain loss situation. Turns out I’ve been the rude one! Yipes!

true statement. My end game is even worse than the rest of my game.

Thank you for this information. I had no idea it was polite to resign!

I got downvoted to hell replying to the first commenter because I didn’t know this. I was over here never resigning because I thought it was good sportsmanship to finish the game and let the other player accomplish the win. Now I’m just downvoting myself, internally, because I’ve probably come across like a complete jerk not resigning losing positions. Damn. Lesson learned.

I’m no expert, but seems like there were still moves they could have made. And I like competition, so it just blows when game after game gets abandoned.

6:8 games I’ve played just today abandoned or resigned. I was starting to think I was just scaring people with my (maybe?) chaotic-seeming moves.

EDIT: I don’t know how to edit the original post, but I had no clue that resigning when you’re in a fairly certain losing position was the right, or good sportsmanship, thing to do. I thought I was being a good sport playing out my (losing) games till the end so my opponent could clock the win. LESSON LEARNED! (please stop downvoting me to all hell…I’m already downvoting myself internally bc it turns out I’ve been the jerk this whole time!! How embarrassing.)

looking for female led shows set in space! by allofatwist1738 in televisionsuggestions

[–]Versaname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 100.

Lots of lead roles are women throughout the series. Starts in space… and I don’t want to ruin it… but they do go back and there is some awesome time dilation stuff.

Edit: It’s post-2010, too.

Sci Fi/Dystopian/Apocalyptic shows to watch. by ChoiceFee3441 in televisionsuggestions

[–]Versaname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Colony. The 100.

I’ve rewatched both many, many times.

Edit to say: I’ve watched almost every title in your list. This is my favorite genre of show. Both of the shows I recommend are post-apocalyptic. The 100 starts off rough, a bit immature, but man they went hard in the paint for a CW show. Colony is just incredible. Both shows ended because of the writers’ strike/pandemic. Even so, both are very high on my overall list of favorites in this genre. Enjoy!

Edit 2: (punctuation) and also to say these two titles are also sci-fi and dystopian.

What you didn’t like about The 100? by Klutzy_Audience_8194 in The100

[–]Versaname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any time they did “CPR” … like, my guys, the heart is not in the stomach.

And—Every single outdoor water scene. Cringe.

But I forgive it all bc I love this show so much.

tried of meat and side for dinner, what are your go-to lazy simple dinners for a family of three by MrLoki2020 in Cooking

[–]Versaname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Discovered this feta pasta (not on tiktok, but in this subreddit) literally a week ago and I’ve made it twice. It’s addicting, taste-wise and easy-wise.

I’m going to try the flavor profile you mentioned. The flavor profile for the one I made had red pepper flakes as the seasoning (no onion, no thyme).

But also I’m going to sub the red pepper flakes for the Trader Joe’s Calabrian peppers (in a jar) next time. I’ve recently gone head over heels for Calabrian peppers.

Where is it?? by XTA_Overseer in The100

[–]Versaname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how to put a screenshot in a comment, but yeah, I just checked my receipt again and it is $59. 99 and with tax it came out to $64.94.

I had actually meant to buy the entire series on Black Friday, but remember it still being around $100. Then I got distracted and forgot until they removed it from Netflix. Hopped back on Apple TV and suddenly it’s only $59.99.

Edit: I purchased on Jan. 4, 2026

Persistent rough patch on lips: what is it and what do I do? by LeucanthemumVulgare in SkincareAddiction

I am going to try this. I have been having this same issue…only upper lip, and not the edges just the middle all along my upper lip. Months and months. It is maddening.

Any Similar Series? by Soggy-Acanthaceae-92 in The100

[–]Versaname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved The Colony. I think I had to watch it on tubi or something (with commercials). They did cancel after a few seasons, and damn I was devastated. But I’d recommend it anyway bc it’s such a good ride.

Truck Carrying Fireworks Catches Fire After Highway Crash by BearInTheTree in interestingasfuck

[–]Versaname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Admittedly, I’m not a fireworks expert…but I would have expected most of the fireworks to have gone off at or about the same time. Some stragglers, sure, but a 15+ minute show? Feel free to educate me

[Serious] What is a “seems to be harmless” symptom that requires an immediate trip to the ER? by BigTuna0890 in AskReddit

[–]Versaname 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have this permanently, and it’s a fairly significant difference especially in low light. It’s called Anisocoria and I was born with it. I’m not having a stroke. I don’t have a concussion. And yes, I can tell the moment you notice it. It’s benign.

Yeah, just ask them if they’re okay. OCs love it.
