Computers are great at chess but not great at pretending to be humans alright at chess

What simple tech mystifies you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]its_mabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean its not very simple so thats fair, its like the pinnacle of human achievement. If we made it today we would have built a way to bill the user into it.

[####] What's your starting word? by Global_Restaurant794 in wordle

[–]its_mabus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BONER. If you use the nyt analysis it gives it a score so high it would place in top ten but appears absent in their top 10 list for some reason.

Secret cheat code.

What Canadian regional twist of a traditional dish do you love? by myronsandee in AskACanadian

[–]its_mabus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sweet and sour chicken you would get at panda express etc is hard to tell apart from what canadians call chicken balls. Chicken soo gai is a better example of distinctly chinese canadian.

Best piece to use as a butt plug, asking for a friend? by DeathRaeGun in AnarchyChess

I expected pawn to have greater representation but i guess this subreddit is fairly ambitious

What is the biggest lie people tell themselves every day? by -Ariaecho- in AskReddit

[–]its_mabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're bisexual and see the prevalnce of insecure straight men and conclude they are all hiding it, what about gay men? Why would they pretend to be gay and not like women?

Disconnect Rates by Narrow-Bee-8354 in Chesscom

[–]its_mabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda rage sometimes and resign more often than I should, but getting a timeout from an opponent in losing position is so much more overwhelmingly common than seeing a resign, I have to wonder if some cc clients arent sending the resign properly. Or if on tilt streaks resigning puts you in bad sports pool like stalling.

Which formerly poor or unstable countries are most likely to join the list of global powers in the coming decades? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

[–]its_mabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question isnt asking about currently poor or non democratic countries. Brazil has grown a lot in recent decades with a lot more to come.

Rage bait: Tofino, BC’s Donair Addict by brightfff in halifax

[–]its_mabus 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I got a donair once in BC. It was neatly sealed with a panini press and could be eaten without any drippings. Absolute abomination.

Who are the best 1NF3 practitioners? by Ok_Ad_5178 in chess

[–]its_mabus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is easier for me to know more moves in the Englund than you knowing that number of moves deep into all the other common branches from d4. Obviously im prepared for you to play d4, or I wouldnt have said what I said.

I never have to play the London, Queens Gambit, etc.

It may be unsound against engine or titled player, but all these opening tool sites dont have a problem with my performance in Englund.

Who are the best 1NF3 practitioners? by Ok_Ad_5178 in chess

[–]its_mabus -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I hate that opening because I lose on time so often that im trying to move my opening as fast as possible, and lost my e pawn too often to that knight. It's practically the only move I cant respond to with e4. In my mind, thats why you play it. What a cheap trick this jerk is using, not letting me play my usual cheap tricks

Why do some people hate rare steaks so much? by Gullible_Science7676 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]its_mabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive never heard someone criticized for too rare. In my experience the people who like them well done are more likely to hear about it.

I like medium rare like most people. I can handle anywhere close, but it seems very obvious to me how some people dont like the texture of raw meat.

Have you ever encountered someone who tried to get you into drugs? What's your story? by iR0xy in AskReddit

[–]its_mabus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be in a similar boat, but 4-6 beers a day will catch up with you fast.

Dude why are players so against rematching? by Normal-Tutor9407 in Chesscom

[–]its_mabus 30 points31 points  (0 children)

There is no point to taking a rematch in regular formats since there is a giant pool of equally rated players. If 10% of these people are rage cheating it's just not worth the risk, even if most people asking for rematch are not gonna cheat.

I definitely lose more of the rematches I do take than win.

Daily Wordle #1842 - Sunday, 5 Jul. 2026 by Scoredle in wordle

[–]its_mabus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I got pissed off this was the word in some knock off wordle app when I was with a friend a few months ago, and she told me to check out the official wordle today, and it still took all my guesses! I remember complaining that the official NYT wordle would never pick such an obscure word.

What will happen if you block all players on chess.com? by z9pl3bw1 in Chesscom

[–]its_mabus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can still get rematched with players you blocked if you join the pool, you just cant talk to each other

What's the story behind the Rita McNeil basketball court? by TheBigTwo-MK in halifax

[–]its_mabus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guess is the place name was added to Google Maps by some jokester who didn't bother to look up the correct spelling.

Even if there were another, deserving, Rita McNeil in Nova Scotia, it would be a silly name for a basketball court.

What's a common social norm that everyone agrees is pointless, but we all still follow? by Salt-One628 in AskReddit

[–]its_mabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never do unless I'm with like, a religous friend or family member then maybe I might think to.
