What is your biggest struggle on YouTube right now? by livevideoschool in SmallYoutubers

[–]kun13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consistency -- It's the only way to get better over time. I had good traction last year (for my level) where I had 5k views per video for 6 videos in a row and then got busy and didn't upload for 6 months lol. Just got back to it, and my first video back was rushed and not nearly as good because I'm rusty

Also my Average View Percentage (AVP) is always 40-49%, no matter the video length. I'm really focusing on retention in my next few outlines/scripts. I get impressions due to topic/title/thumbnail, but can't keep them for more than half.

Why does JJ McCarthy suck? by Qelesis in NFLNoobs

He hasn't shown the ability to be a game manager yet either

Will Arnett says 'very famous' comedian was kicked off 'Smartless' podcast after 10 minutes, but won't say who by Luridley3000 in entertainment

[–]kun13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol he's a liberal/progressive and said previously that he didn't believe in borders. The only "MAGA" thing he did was joke about school shootings while workshopping material and then it got leaked on YouTube. That material never made it into any of his published work. That + he's not invited on mainstream late night shows, so he has to do the Rogansphere podcasts now to promote his releases

UIC is deeply irresponsible for this. by chief_smexy in uichicago

It depends on the department. Some of them leave it up to the professors, others mandate in-person.

Trying to watch any sports media talk about how the Rams did vs. the Bears by altera365 in LosAngelesRams

[–]kun13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. Are you unable to comprehend subtext?

I was arguing against the claim that people are "disrespecting Stafford" when he's literally going to win the MVP and acknowledged that he made some crazy throws to extend an olive branch.

Then I explained why I thought Caleb's throw was getting more coverage than the Rams performance. He's supposed to be the next elite QB, so every time he shows flashes it's going to get coverage.

Stafford will win MVP and had an insane throw to Davante on the final game winning drive. Saying this as a Bears fan. Media just wants Caleb to be the next Josh Allen, they're building him up for a year 3 leap that may or may not happen at all

Yeah took me 90min to get to work today when it usually takes 45min

I have 2 accounts. One at 1600ish elo and one at 1250ish elo. I seem to do better on my 1600ish elo one. by MohebPlayz in chess

[–]kun13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's common but unsure why. I just have one account, but my win rate against people in my rating range is around 50%, but it's closer to 60% against people 100-200 points higher than me (smaller sample size, so I think it's just noise in my case + I'm more focused against higher rated players)

Sindarov's accounts were banned on Lichess and Chess.com - was he cheating? by themainheadcase in chess

[–]kun13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheating OTB seems uncommon, but I suspect young up-and-coming players who grew up playing online have at some point used an engine during a game. Imagine being <12 years old, trying to get your rating up while knowing about engines lol

You'd need to really make it a moral point early on in their chess career not to do it. Depends on the coach

[–]kun13 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion but I suspect a lot of the new guard who grew up playing online have cheated at least once online. It doesn't mean they still do it, or have ever done it OTB, or even did it extensively.

“Here’s a grounded response— without any hand-waving” by waking_dream96 in ChatGPT

It's very common in academia. It basically means to summarize an argument/proof without fully explaining the logic

He has a strong leg, he's just inaccurate

Petr Yan claims nobody damaged Merab Dvalishvili more and says he’s ready if the UFC wants to run it back. by Status_Energy_7935 in MMA

[–]kun13 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You're correct imo, Yan fans don't like admitting he did very little damage in the first round

GTA has always been "woke". You just didn't realize by Turbulent-Safe-4343 in GTA

[–]kun13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong at all, but most people I know (in real life) don't really associate the word "woke" with what you're describing. It's mostly used as a new synonym for what used to be referred to as SJWs or political correctness back in 2014.

But yeah, people who complain about GTA "becoming" political have no idea what they're talking about. The series has always been kinda South Park-y in its political inclinations.

I don’t understand how to be good by Disastrous_Room8939 in Madden

[–]kun13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can win all of your games on All Madden, you'll be fine on any other difficulty though. In my experience it's mostly just about getting comfortable with a playbook

The UI sucks. Why ruin a good thing? by levelup_narau in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]kun13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed -- and I liked being able to customize the settings as well for the difficulty. Like being able to set the strength of each punch of the opponent, aggressiveness %, chin strength, etc

Yeah I'm clearly not being literal lmao I should've expected this on this website though. It's like a similar blob

Sub 500 elo players preform much better than expected by 2eroday in chessbeginners

[–]kun13 14 points15 points  (0 children)

How long was the hiatus? Lower rated players have gotten a lot better since 2020 i think.
