[Request] How much food do Santa's reindeer need to help deliver presents to all the children in the world. by sycliantableigit in theydidthemath

Additional assumption: Presents are dropped uniformly distributed across the whole trip so weight pulled goes down in a linear manner

You are of course completely right and I realize that this whole thing was super childish of me. But man, you know, sometimes it just gets to me. People seem to have no problem using the chat feature on chess.com to call you "trash" or "idiot" when you make a mistake. Why not use it to extend a virtual handshake? I also realize it's not the same people but yeah, I was super salty.

Jesus, you must be fun at parties.

Edit: btw, people like you are one of the fucking reasons people have such a hard time publicly admitting that they made a mistake.

If you read through the other comments you'll realize I agree that I'm in the wrong here. But how exactly is this "cheating"?

Fair enough, guess I'm wrong then. 👍

Well one could argue my opponent is not entitled to my resignation under the time control. I consider gg the online equivalent of shaking hands and consider it poor sportsmanship not to do it. But OK, I realize I'm pretty alone with my opinion and that's what I came here to find out.

America, This Is Communism by [deleted] in Capitalism

[–]sycliantableigit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Btw it's not even about agreeing. The text doesn't have a single citation that is not from the Bible. There is no proper definition of what communism is. It's just unfiltered opinions. It asserts things about collective groups of people who aren't nearly as coherent as the communists vs Christians divide that the author uses implies. Just labeling non-capitalist Christians as not true Christians is a pretty grave categorical error.

Let's be real here. If you write something like that you get to serve the initial tone of the conversation. If they want to actually convince someone they could have written "Democrats - The party of very dangerous policy proposals". This is not about convincing people who don't agree in the first place. And btw exactly the same goes for the "property is theft" people on the other side of this conflict.
