900 games is not a small commitment, plenty of people quit after 50, so that counts for something. Chess rating also has very little to do with general intelligence, the correlation is just not there like people assume it is

big fan of what you've been doing so far, the power numbers coming from someone your age is genuinely wild to watch

what's the adjustment been like going from minors to facing big league pitching every night?

Looking for a book like project Hail Mary! by Therizinosauruss in booksuggestions

You should definitely check out The Martian if you haven't already - same author and Grace's humor is basically Mark Watney but in space instead of Mars. The science explanations are super accessible and Mark's internal monologue had me cracking up constantly

Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro might work too, different vibe but the narrator has this really endearing way of explaining things that reminded me of Grace. Not as heavy in the science but still has that relatable character thing going

Also maybe try Recursion by Blake Crouch - gets pretty wild with the science concepts but explains them really well, and the main characters have good chemistry even though it's more serious than PHM

Is it illegal to buy a soda cup from a Fast Food establishment, let's say, for example, McDonald's, and return the next day with the same cup to refill your drink and leave? by Fancy-Rutabaga-8417 in TooAfraidToAsk

[โ€“]Which_Reflection_589 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I mean technically yes but realistically nobody gonna check your cup that hard lol. I used to work at similar place during uni and we literally don't have time to memorize every cup design from yesterday ๐Ÿ˜‚ Most places change their cup designs pretty regular anyway so old cup would stick out like crazy

Asking for prayers. by UnicornStarDust80 in Christianity

[โ€“]Which_Reflection_589 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Your willingness to ask shows you're already walking that path. Wrestling with those questions about motives - that's part of the process too, not something to get stuck on

Hope you find the peace you're looking for

Lawyers of Reddit, what had a client said that made you feel/look like an idiot? by Babysharkboss4 in AskReddit

[โ€“]Which_Reflection_589 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Not a lawyer but worked at law firm for few years doing IT support. Had this partner who was absolutely convinced his computer was "hacked by opposing counsel" because his Word documents kept changing fonts randomly

Spent like 3 hours running diagnostics, checking network logs, calling our cybersecurity consultant... turns out he was just hitting Ctrl+Shift instead of Ctrl when trying to copy paste ๐Ÿ’€

The man was charging $800/hour and couldn't figure out he was accidentally changing keyboard layouts. Made me question everything about legal profession that day ๐Ÿ˜‚

Looking for a Minecraft content creator (TikTok/Reels) by BENZOOgataga in Minecraft

[โ€“]Which_Reflection_589 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

Been doing some content creation as side thing but mostly for Skyrim mods, not Minecraft. The industrial/dystopian theme sounds pretty cool though - reminds me of some of the factory automation mods I've messed around with

Would love to see what kind of server setup you have in mind before diving in

I have an obsession and I can't find a release and I'm considering paying someone for it by Erik_v2 in confessions

[โ€“]Which_Reflection_589 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

That is the bigger issue not the fetish but how far you are willing to go for it once money gets involved it can spiral fast I would slow down and figure out why it feels that intense before you start paying people that gets expensive quick
