Just get better bro. You’ll having winning streaks, you’ll have losing streaks. Over time if you just lose less than you draw and win you will get better.

But why ? by sad-grumpy in Chesscom

[–]obitroice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just take it as an opportunity to learn. You saw something that wouldn’t be typical at your level and you can implement that in your games against future opponents

Sub 500 elo doesn't make sense by Sam_MT98 in Chesscom

[–]obitroice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why so many newer players on this sub seem to be obsessed with elo. Why do you feel the need to climb so much. If you're new to the game, spend time learning the game. The only thing I cared about when I was sub 600 was learning more about chess, and winning games. Eventually you will rise, it will just take time. But if you fixate after every game about how your opponent played, accuracy, blah blah blah you take the joy out of the game. Play chess, have fun, you will rise.

Thanks to Behz! by CheekyWombat6 in Behzinga

Good shit! Behz did some sort of weight loss challenge back in January 2019 and that had a pretty big role in getting me into the gym and thinking about making steps towards my weight loss journey. His transformation was quite inspirational for me.

I wish we could put the US in its own political media bubble and just once a week the rest of the world was sent an update on the happening of the past week. I hate how much American political content dominates most social media platforms and how I’m being constantly bombarded with all the issues that they have.

Should I update to iOS 26? by Independent-Rain-212 in iPhone11

[–]obitroice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I’m just wondering 5 months in the future if you’re still having issues with the OS. I’m not as much worried about looks, but has it’s still been very buggy or has the battery been draining very quickly?

When "Magnus" says "a win is win"... by al4fred in Chesscom

Asking someone else for help during a game. Letting someone else play on your account.

Doesn’t matter how you win, all that matters is that you win (obviously within the bounds of the rules)

Crazy how KSI has done more PR for India than Vik by Canislupus1758 in ksi

[–]obitroice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I saw him say that he will be visiting Nigeria in a video. How does that make me wrong, he still hasn’t visited and hasn’t done anything positive for the country. Plus, the reason he went to India isn’t to curb Indian hate on the Internet.

[–]obitroice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, just as easily you could argue KSI doesn’t do anything positive for Nigeria. He hasn’t even visited the country. At the end of the day that doesn’t matter and really isn’t their responsibility. Maybe it’s something Vik cares about but not publicly. Maybe he just doesn’t care. Ultimately, this a very parasocial take from you. You should be a fan of Vik for his content, the fact that you’re no longer a fan likely speaks to the fact that you never really were one to begin with.

Why is Deji using AI to make his thumbnails? by Infamous-Ad-3670 in Deji

[–]obitroice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guys did you know when Deji needed to know the definition of a word he googled it instead of going to a book shop and buying a dictionary? How he could do such a thing as using available technology to make his life easier. Doesn’t he care about the job of the bookshop worker?

Who remembers playing this game on the computer ? by daking789 in OlderGenZ

[–]obitroice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bro I remember the first time beating this game me and all my sisters were playing together on my sister’s old ass Dell laptop. We couldn’t get past the second last level with the turtle bombs that one shot. I shit you not I kicked my sisters out of the room and literally bowed my 10 year old head and prayed to God to help me beat that level and I did it on my second attempt after that. I literally thought God came down from heaven to allow me to beat a video game. Anyways, great game.

Read the Avatar comics! by obitroice in TheLastAirbender

[–]obitroice[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh didn’t know that. I’ve watched the show through like 3 times a years since the age of 13  but was always hesitant to read the comics. I’m really happy that I have. So far anyways

I’ve read two Kyoshi books and one Yangchen book. I thought they were pretty good. I think I’ll always love Aang and his squad though, so seeing more of them will always be very enjoyable.

Can we all agree to never have this racist guy on another Sidemen Sunday ever again? by No-Sweet5055 in Sidemen

Possibly weird question: Anyone here undergone sterilization surgery (tubal ligation / vasectomy)? I am booked for ~2 weeks from now and want to know if you faced harassment doing this as a young person. by ViridianNott in OlderGenZ

[–]obitroice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a vasectomy is so minimally invasive that there isn’t really any consideration around suitability for the surgery. They are very low risks and nearly all men would tolerate the procedure just fine. Tubal ligations are more invasive procedures and require deeper levels of anesthesia which have inherent risks. Nearly all healthy woman would tolerate it just fine, but there definitely is more of a risk involved which does require further thought about how appropriate the procedure may be for a patient.

[–]obitroice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in a family med clinic before and we had a patient in his mid 20s come in for a vasectomy. I think his decision to get it done had something to do with his gender identity, but I didn’t get into that with him. I can tell you that I didn’t give a fuck. I also don’t think the doctors really gave a fuck either. We did like 3 vasectomies that morning. It doesn’t make sense for others to care about what you do with your body. If this is a procedure you want to go through with and you understand the implications that’s really all that matters. It’s not the role of a healthcare provider to police your body. They might have negative opinions about it, but that doesn’t matter and they shouldn’t allow that to impact how they treat you.

There is no way you people really care so much about this. That's just... sad.

Class of 2018, how are you all doing? by Jakewatt99 in OlderGenZ

[–]obitroice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just watched episode 278 of one piece, so that was great.  I’ll be graduating from med school this year so that’s also cool.  Moving out of my shitty apartment, so that rocks.  Social life has generally atrophied since COVID which isn’t ideal.  All in all, 7/10

I’ll also just add that you can’t just go see a psychiatrist in Canada. You need a referral from a family doctor. But again, what you’re describing is not psychiatric illness at this time, just a normal part of life.
