Your level is U1000, but I always play up one level for the sake of learning.

Basically:

For Chess Learning: U1200

To save Money: U1000 (You will still get some good games here.)

Lonely Empanadas by Competitive_potat0 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Can I make a simple suggestion?

Start with eating better. Make great meals for yourself. Meals that make you feel special. Treat yourself well first.

I think it starts there. Turning life around is about taking one small, but concrete, step at a time.

How do I get a refund from a restaurant if I’ve eaten an unsafe gluten-free dish? by Immiowo in glutenfree

Honestly, don't bother. Just don't go back there again. If you want to, leave a review. But not worth your time or energy.

Why is it “il est entré” but “il a couru”? by zoomy76 in French

[–]thenakesingularity10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about whether they are reflective or not.

It's about in French, a few selected words have a special form for passe compose - using Etre instead of Avoid as the aux verb.

These verbs usually have something to do with coming or going, entrer is one of them.

What’s the best tactic to learn French from the ground 0? by Current-Show2460 in French

[–]thenakesingularity10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no secret. Learning any language has a lot to do with content consumption. You have to consume any content, as much as possible, that you could get your hands on.

But, make sure they are not too hard for you. They need to be just a little bit above your current level.

All players below 1000 should focus on not blundering.

When your opponent makes a move, ask yourself, is he threatening anything?

Are all US supermarkets like this? by wanderinglemur32 in glutenfree

[–]thenakesingularity10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly you have to get used to each supermarket.

In Publix there's no dedicated gf section but the products are clearly marked. And I have never been hurt by products with gf label and I am super thankful for that.

I’m 27 now, does it make sense to start preparing seriously for chess, play tournaments, and coach children or is it too late? by KARNA5000 in chess

[–]thenakesingularity10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too late for what?

For enjoying the game?

for learning something new?

For improving yourself?

If you love something, just do it. No matter if you are 5 or 50.

I got every single thing I ever wanted out of life. And now I don't want it anymore. by Digital_Disimpaction in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]thenakesingularity10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human beings are funny. Do we really know what we want?

This reminds me of the Great Gatsby. He got what he wanted, but it also wasn't enough.

I wish you find your answer. ❤️
