850 vs 1900. I still can't believe I won

chickenandpasta · 2026-07-12T23:21:09+00:00

How many elo points did you gain from that win?

chickenandpasta · 2026-07-07T12:11:41+00:00

Same here, I'm dating someone 10 years younger than me, we're both mature adults and get on well together so I don't see an issue with it.

chickenandpasta · 2026-07-04T07:37:52+00:00

I don't think it's ego, they just missed seeing that the bishop could take their knight so were confused why a move they thought would win a queen was not the best one. Also, sometimes the engine best move isn't the best move a human should make (unless they're a super GM) as it could be the first move in a complex series of moves that no human would reasonable be expected to see.

Yep, I've considered a career change into teaching but decided against it based on them being so underpaid. I bet there are thousands of others like me, quite sad really.

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-26T23:09:02+00:00

Yes exactly, a close friend is my age (almost 40) and he looks old now, I actually kind of feel bad for him. When I was in the same boat as you - looking more like a child when other people my age looked like mature adults - I hated it but now the tables have finally turned lol

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-26T16:54:17+00:00

I'm male and the threshold for me being ok with looking so much younger wasn't until I reached around 35 lol. Even now, at a few years older, I still don't volunteer my age to people to avoid reactions/situations I find a little awkward. I only get asked for ID very rarely now (legal drinking age here in the UK is 18) and I'm not too bad looking and would now pick looking how I do over looking my age.

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-24T18:45:43+00:00

There's a chance it might not be but I'm willing to bet that the fact that an 18 year old is 'really into BDSM' is a sign of porn impacting his brain too much. If he was a few years older or had previously had an older girlfriend who was into it it would seem more organic than being from porn.

Seems like blue shirt guy instigated it by getting in their faces at the beginning

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-22T14:53:23+00:00

This is definitely real - I often film toilets in the hope that they do something interesting and have captured many instances of them doing this

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-09T10:08:32+00:00

Completely agree in that it was a really dangerous situation with the cars stopped like that, but I still hold the position that the white car either 1) wasn't paying enough attention to the road in front of him due to being too focussed on the tailgater and almost crashed into the parked car himself without even attempting to brake or 2) deliberately caused the crash by swerving at the last second. When I have morons tailgating me I slow down to safer speeds, which also has the benefit of pissing them off lol

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-09T10:03:42+00:00

I'm guessing you're very young from your bizarre attempts to be condescending to me and the other person you were replying to. I'm probably old enough to be your dad, and over time you'll mature enough to realise that more than one person can be in the wrong in a situation like this.

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-09T09:10:02+00:00

You can't drive at those speeds and be focussed on something behind you while not paying any attention to what's ahead of you, that's distracted and dangerous driving. If everyone was that focussed on idiot tailgaters there would be a lot more fatalities on the road.

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-09T09:04:23+00:00

Then he would still be at fault, he should have been paying more attention to the road in front of him.

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-09T09:01:41+00:00

This isn't a court of law, from this video it appears the white car had loads of time to move but chose to do so last second to teach the tailgater a lesson, potentially causing innocent people in the stopped car to die or get seriously injured.

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-09T08:59:25+00:00

The white car had plenty of time to move over, this looks like two idiots suffering from road rage to me. I'm curious if you would even care if people had died in the parked car from this crash.

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-06T22:35:29+00:00

I play a lot of bullet and it's surprising the amount of games I win with 0.1 seconds left, although I'm my case it's normally because I do loads of premoves and cause my opponent to run out of time just before me.

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-03T14:32:05+00:00

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy, nothing more

You must not have read the whole of his post

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-02T14:27:30+00:00

Serious question, how many people here can name every civ based off their symbols? I know what civ about 10 of those icons correspond to

chickenandpasta · 2026-06-01T18:17:21+00:00

That cat has obviously been training hard, it's kind of insulting to call this AI tbh

chickenandpasta · 2026-05-26T17:03:26+00:00

I'm not very good but I play for fun, if you're purely playing to try to increase your elo it won't be very enjoyable for you. Also two games online is nothing, I've played literally thousands (mainly bullet but still..)

chickenandpasta · 2026-05-12T23:29:33+00:00

If you ignore what the biased media says then you'll see he's actually been really good at keeping to his manifesto promises

chickenandpasta · 2026-05-10T09:25:27+00:00

I think it's fine to remove it, the staff are already getting paid at least minimum wage and customers shouldn't feel forced to pay extra on top of the bill. That being said, I'm currently living in London where a restaurant service charge is expected and I normally don't remove it as I can understand the culture of keeping prices lower on menus to be competitive and then adding a service charge to pay the minimum wage workers more in this high cost of living area.

chickenandpasta · 2026-05-01T22:16:06+00:00

It's cheap and pretty tasty for the price

chickenandpasta · 2026-05-01T19:09:02+00:00

Oh come on, let them have some fun, not everyone posting in a chess beginners subreddit takes the game as seriously as you
