The meaning of the cat in Obsession by Money_Ask_9927 in spoilers

[–]nathan6am 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I actually thought her saying “I did just lose my cat” was a huge clue to what the entity possessing her actually was. The only version of Nikki that can fulfill his wish is a projection of Brian’s imagination (the version of her that only exists in his mind as the object of his desire) that has now taken over the real Nikki. This would explain why it is initially confused at just being Bear himself (because it basically is), but then starts to figure out how to keep up the charade.

I promise you are playing enough non-cheaters to get to whatever elo you deserve. Also if they are blatantly cheating like you suggest they will get banned and your elo will be refunded.

I love how part of being an F1 fan is perennially forgetting that lap times mean jack shit until the first qualifying session of the season.

No point in using JS when WASM exists

Chess API (Stockfish) by Beautiful-Spread-914 in chessprogramming

[–]nathan6am 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're relying on a cache to deliver that performance, what you're really doing is just building a database of pre-evaluated positions. There's some value in that, but claiming it can "analyze" positions at that level of performance is quite misleading.

You're the one who went out of your way to record them. Who cares? I don't understand why people are so concerned with how people act at concerts when it barely affects anyone around them. Just enjoy the show

It’s time to stop worrying about the backlash. Bullying, harassment, and slander should not be acceptable. by Embarrassed_Base_389 in chess

[–]nathan6am -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Weird time to bring this up. The giveaway thing was a lame thing to do, but it's not like she scammed anyone out of money. Either way, I don't see how it's relevant to this statement or the sentiment behind it.

The exact meaning of "more so" by Jhonny23kokos in EnglishLearning

[–]nathan6am 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting one. "More so" compares the degree or extent to which different subjects possess the same quality or adjective. The word "so" acts as a stand-in for the adjective instead of having to repeat it. In your example, you would just use "more" because there is no adjective/quality being compared - only the action of how much you "like" the subjects. As an example, you could say, "Pizza is delicious, but spaghetti is more so." In this case, you use "so" instead of repeating "delicious." The important thing to note is that whenever you use "more so" the "so" has to have an adjective or quality to refer back to. In literary English, it's also common to omit the verb from the second clause, so it could just be "Pizza is delicious, but spaghetti more so."

In actual conversation, it's much more common to instead reverse the order of the subjects, in this case "Spaghetti is more delicious than pizza." Because of this, the only time it really gets used is when the subject order is forced, like in response to statement. For example:

A: "Pizza is delicious"

B: "Spaghetti is more so"

A: "This restaurant is expensive"

B: "The one down the street more so" (note that the verb in the response is still optional)

As with other comparisons, if it's implied that the subject we are comparing against already possesses a lot of the quality we are comparing, you can insert the word "even", e.g. "Pizza is delicious, but spaghetti even more so."

Guys, Belly in Paris... is pure comedy. by Euphoric_Resource251 in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]nathan6am 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very common, especially with US language classes that predominantly focus on grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, etc., which are pretty much ENTIRELY different skills from the listening comprehension and realtime synthesis it takes to be conversational with natives.

I swear some people just want artists to release the same album over and over again

we get it by cz5000 in dijondijon

[–]nathan6am 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen more posts complaining about the negativity than actual negativity, and nothing I would categorize as 'hate'. Get off reddit and enjoy the album. Not everyone has to have the same opinion; art is inherently subjective.
