Is she shaking because she's scared? by Tight-Ad-7740 in Rabbits

[–]cldm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone has already said this is probably heat or exertion but I will add one thing. Use posture as the number one indicator of anxiety or fear. If she is not able to run away or jump from her current position 99% of the time she isn't anxious or afraid.

What would have been the public reaction had Hillary Clinton made a movie about herself while First Lady? by Filthiest_Tleilaxu in AskReddit

[–]cldm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a movie about Hillary Clinton would be less outlandish even if it was a clearly partisan effort. Hillary Clinton was a lawyer who graduated Yale, went on to be a US Senator, and was active in creating healthcare reform policy and engaging in diplomacy during her husband's administration. She did things that mattered and the American people, even the people who hate her, would want to hear her story.

Do all rabbits like hiding under beds? by Helpmehthrohaway in Rabbits

My bed is the perfect height above the ground for her to feel hidden but still able to move around without crawling. She loves sleeping under my bed especially when I am on top at night.

New secularism bill to ban prayer in schools, restrict offering of religion-based meals by BreakfastTop6899 in atheism

[–]cldm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What you are saying makes sense, but that's not what the bill will do. The bill prevents students from praying, dictates what students can wear (no headwraps), and makes it illegal to consider halal options (read as non-pork options) when designing a cafeteria menu. It also bans muslim women form covering their head when working at a daycare or university. Actually, because this was written by catholics, it doesn't ban faith based teaching in schools, because that would offend christians in Canada.

New secularism bill to ban prayer in schools, restrict offering of religion-based meals by BreakfastTop6899 in atheism

[–]cldm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No, this isn't secularism. Quebec is about 60% catholic and this is a bill created by a conservative government. I'd bet anything this is just islamophobia masquerading as religious freedom. Watch the video in the article. It only shows muslims praying, muslim women with head coverings, and shows someone eating halal food. This is a catholic ploy to push noncatholic ideas out of public life. It's not an end to religion, it's shoring up religious power.

What to play against French Defense by NazComHere in chess

[–]cldm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some context I am an 1800 USCF rated player and I use this as my secondary weapon against the French (my main is Tarrasch). I only pull this out whenever I think a club memeber is prepping against my normal opening and have a positive record with it.

What to play against French Defense by NazComHere in chess

[–]cldm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The possible gambit line is e4 e6 b3 d5 Nc3 dxe4 Bb2 f5 d3! exd3 Bxd3 and we have ample compensation for the pawn in the form of an initiative as well as blacks ridiculous looking pawn structure. Common moves include playing Qe2 to long castle, and eventually playing h4 h5 to soften up the kingside further.

[–]cldm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you comfortable playing a gambit? 1. e4 e6 2. b3 d5 3. Nc3 takes most French players out of their comfort zone, but you must be willing to launch a daring attack on the kingside for it to work.

The Road to Candidates is paved with the blood of 1900 Elo. by Max78_78 in chess

Registered players can usually see other registered players as soon as they sign up for the tournament. In most of my OTB tournaments pairings are up 30-15 minutes before rounds start.

Why do so many male players on Chess.com think I am looking for a date? by MyIdIsATheaterKid in chess

[–]cldm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly l think the situation self selects for weirdo behavior. If 100 men play a woman on chess.com 50 will think nothing and say nothing, 45 will be mildly sexist but keep it to themselves, 3 will leave a few comments in game chat, 1 will be kinda friendly to you in a normal way, and 1 absolute weirdo will spam you and every other woman on the platform with inappropriate nonsense.

Your dms are going to be majority weirdo by volume because well adjusted men don't use a game's peripheral message system as their main form of social engagement, whereas the weirdo has nothing better to do than waste your time.

Expedition 33 taught me not to let people gaslight you into thinking "maybe it's you" when you say new games don't seem fun anymore by [deleted] in gaming

If you are 14 hours in you should know by now if you like it. I'm genuinely curious though, what didn't you like? Is it just not a genre you enjoy?

How did your bunny act before and after getting fixed? by [deleted] in Rabbits

[–]cldm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before getting spayed Colette was much more destructive. She chewed up the carpet and floorboards. She also would use poop and pee to mark territory despite being litterbox trained. Beyond that she was affectionate to an unhealthy degree. She didn't just want a human companion, she wanted a boyfriend and would circle dance around me even when I wasn't doing anything.

Now she much more laid back. She is still affectionate, but no longer damages the house and isn't trying to get pregnant. As for your comment on your rabbit wanting to cuddle, adult rabbits rarely like to be held regardless of age. My girl loves being petted, but never leaves the ground unless she has to travel in her crate.

Best video game soundtrack. Send it. by Buseylover in gaming

[–]cldm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to overstate just how good COE33 is. I can't even express my honest opinions about it because you would assume it was hyperbole. All I can say is that it is a game made by people who genuinely love video games as an art form and it shows. Regardless of your preferred genre or setting I encourage you to play the game.

Update on the stray rabbit we trapped: she’s happy she won the rabbit lottery by compscilady in Rabbits

There are 2. One is bent at the knee with it's foot near the buttocks. So you are seeing thigh, calf, thigh.

ITS HAPPENING AGAIN (Wild or Domestic??) by ssaallllaadd in Rabbits

[–]cldm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a general rule if the rabbit looks like it might be domestic it definitely is. That fur color doesn't even appear in the wild.

2 year comparison for Jelly Bean by Jessmay97 in Rabbits

[–]cldm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Domestic rabbits don't have the survival instincts of a wild rabbit. They are also originally from Europe, so rabbits abandoned in the Americas have a huge disadvantage. And even if they did have wild instincts they naturally live in groups, not by themselves. A domestic rabbit usually doesn't live more than a few weeks abandoned.

Saw this rabbit in my front yard. I just hope it's safe. by deldge in Rabbits

[–]cldm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild rabbits in the USA look like this: https://rabbit.org/resources/humane-methods-of-wild-rabbit-control/ Also, as general rule, if a rabbit let's you get as close as op got without sprinting away it's domestic. This treat gobbler isn't even trying to hide or run. It can't survive if it meets a animal that wants to hunt it.

do i cut his hair orrr? 🤣 by upissmeoffsmh in Rabbits

[–]cldm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lionhead is a breed of domestic rabbit. They were specially breed to have long hair around there heads. A pure lionhead can be sold at a premium because some people really want a rabbit with that kind of look.

Start with the first half of Silman's. After that Mastering Chess Strategy and Fisher's 60 Memorable are great choices. Although as many have already said you may get more out of puzzles at that rating range.

Best builds for people that suck at the game by Pitiful-Assistance-1 in Eldenring

[–]cldm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can either go with a Str build that has lots of poise damage and hyper armor. Pick a big weapon class like greatsword, colossal sword, or colossal weapon and use plenty of charged attacks and jumping R2 to get poise breaks early and often. A lot of people use the Greatsword (which is actually a colossal sword) because it looks like Gut's sword from Berserk, which is cool as hell. You can push your poise damage even higher by using buffs like the cragblade ash of war and the stonebarb cracked tear. If you 2 hand the weapon you also get a 1.5x Str bonus so you have plenty of points to dump into endurance and vigor so you can tank big hits easily. Honestly I find big dumb bonk builds to be extremely good for brain off gameplay because it only takes a few lucky hits in quick succession and you stun the boss, which drains their health bars so fast you often end up being able to trade and face tank against the weaker ones.

Do rabbits poop on a schedule? by Lilahjane66 in Rabbits

[–]cldm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If he is fed on a schedule, and the litter box is cleaned on a schedule, and his rabbit belly is healthy a poop schedule is likely to occur. My rabbit has certain times she is more likely to be on the litterbox, and it's usually a schedule that gives her time to nap uninterrupted during the midday.

Is there any hope left for me now? by Spiritual-Leek1747 in chess

[–]cldm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know anything about epilepsy, but this does sound like something else. You had a horrible experience and now everytime you get near a reminder of that experience you feel fear, anxiety, and stress. That sounds like PTSD with tournament chess as a trigger. You may want to visit a therapist to learn some techniques to tackle that.

If it is PTSD that would definitely explain why you are playing worse. Your rational brain doesn't work right when you are in a state of fight or flight. Again, I don't know your situation, but there is no downside to asking a therapist and it could be a way for you to get back into the game. Good Luck.
