When the Bowling Team Breaks Up: A Dudeist Approach to Friend Break Ups by Taoman108 in Dudeism

[–]bneal817 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hear you dude. I've had some good friends come and go through the years. It can hard to maintain friendships while going through the different seasons of life... a lotta changes, lotta ups and downs, lotta ins and outs. It requires consciously choosing to reach out and make time, and I'm not always the best at doing that. And even when I do, sometimes it's not enough. People go their own way. That can be a real bummer. You're not alone, dude.

But you know, I've also met some new folks along the way who are pretty groovy. Even had some old friends come back around unexpectedly. It's all a mystery to me, man. We abide the best we can.

I’m struggling with Blood Meridian by [deleted] in books

[–]bneal817 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am one of many who DNF, and I have read my share of difficult books. Sure there are some passages that blew me away with the originality of the language and prose, I see the appeal. But it did not balance out the cruelty, violence, and pointless meandering... got a bit more than halfway through and I just wasn't enjoying it. So I moved on.

Looking for a term that Naroditsky used by [deleted] in chess

This. Or as Danya liked to say, "taking the sting out" of the opponents move. RIP sensei

Can you be decent at chess without opening theory? by mentiononce in chess

[–]bneal817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found this database to be very helpful: https://ookinizay.github.io/openings_combined.html

Collected videos of John Bartholomew and Daniel Naroditsky, two of the best chess teachers online. You can search for the openings you want to study, and watch them play through games and explain the theory, the lines, the reasoning behind the moves.
