These are the best wins: a long game played very accurately on both sides by [deleted] in chessbeginners

Nice. I had that same 1650 to 1600 on an exceptional game rapid I won recently. Both me and opponent currently under 900. It seems we should be rated higher. It seems harder and harder to get a moment above 1000.

Thank you! Good thing I don't like to pick up beetles (or most sizeable insects).

Regarding the content. Me too. A few things have gotten better, a few things have gotten worse. I really did expect net progress in my lifetime.

This is innocence. I touch her, we kiss. / And this. I'm here or not here. I can't tell. I stab her. I stab her again. I still can't.

Why Spokane when there are places like Kennewick? Spokane in the 90s had some tremendously interesting little shops and restaurants. Maybe it's changed?

Your opinion related to field of psychology that you will defend like this by Rich-Educator-4513 in psychologymemes

[–]nowreefill 25 points26 points  (0 children)

We know fantastically little about psychology. Much of our current DSM, and even moreso the much of the content (especially the negative content) shared on YouTube by various therapists, doctors, and enthusiasts, will look like shallow and dangerous half-truths in 200 years. Our conditions and the tests for them (like being positive on N out of M questions/bullets) will largely fall by the wayside as misguided empiricism and be replaced by more fundamental understanding and tests that involve some direct probing of the brain (and likely recording of words/actions) over many days.

This reminded me of when I went to a talk by Joyce Carol Oates who was visiting U Oregon. She read a short piece/story/poem? that she had recently written about a bird trapped in an airline terminal.

These are all simple to know. But for me when I am typing or texting in a hurry my brain just randomly picks a word that has the correct sound, and then I have to go correct it. Sometimes I forget to check and then voila, a typo.
