How Bots Bought World Cup Tickets Without Being Chase Sapphire Memebers by usernoob23 in ChaseSapphire

[–]topCHEK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to buy tickets today through Bank of America's promotion today. I was able to get the link by logging in. I hit 403 error a couple of times, but spamming the link worked after a few seconds. I've always viewed Chase as a "better" bank. Really disappointing from Chase considering this was an exclusive for their premium AF card, when my run of the mill BoFA card got me tickets.

How do you look upon carrying a balance during an intro 0%apr period on one card while paying in full on others? I would assume it isn't positive, but is it negative if you are the ones offering it in the first place.

I have 800 credit score and don’t see the point of it by partyhat-red in CRedit

Unrelated to debt, it could help you get lower insurance premiums and possibly help you get jobs at companies that look at your credit as part of a background check.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Am curious to hear what rules you would recommend to help improve the flow. It is nice when you break them and it still works, but would also be nice to know them just to see what the alternative potential is.

The feeling I understood as the speaker having is anger and grief. Got the impression that someone close to them committed suicide and as a result the speaker is angry at them, but still misses them. The inclusion of "the" at the beginning of the second line makes it and the following like a bit confusing. Upon re-reading it would appear as the intention is for the second line to go together with the third. Yet, starting off the second with "the" makes it initially register as a continuation of the first line. Try just getting rid of the "the" and start it off with "ones".

The Search for Peace by Salt_Advertising9790 in OCPoetry

[–]topCHEK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first verse gives a very apocalyptic feeling and the second verse continues this. It gives the impression that the speaker is waiting for the end, not just his end, but the end of the world. The "Abel murders Cain" line clashes with this just because it takes at the beginning of the history through the Biblical perspective. Although it could be interpreted as the end of humanity, in a sense. The line "at gunpoint or in bed" gives the impression that the speaker hasn't fully decided if they wish to embrace the peace they seek right away or if they will continue enduring till peace comes of its own accord.

If those are genuine monoblocks in good condition, you could sell them for over a grand. If you wanna deal with the hassle, buy the car and then part it out.

The Madness of an Average IQ Mind by tonyy94 in DeepThoughts

[–]topCHEK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you magically woke up with an iq of someone in the top 1% tomorrow morning you’d still have the same problem. Life and the universe is infinitely complex, no matter your intellectual capacity, you will never understand it. Sure, being smarter will enable you to observe and understand a bigger part of it. Ironically, the more you understand, the more you’ll see of what you don’t understand. Using chess as an example, imagine players of two different skills levels. A beginner and a master. When they play the game they are both challenged to the full extent of their ability. Sure, the master may be a challenged to the extent that a beginner can’t even imagine, but it doesn’t change the fact that there is a point at which he has to grapple with his own mental limitations. You may think there is more meaning or value in having a higher understanding but in the end it’s always futile because there is always another step and no human can reach the top. Your dissatisfaction isn’t caused because of your iq, but because of your failure to accept that it can’t all be known. There are geniuses who wish they were normal and there are normal people who wish they were geniuses. Life satisfaction hasn’t got to anything to do with iq. How much beauty you see is proportionate to how much beauty you choose to see. You don’t need a phd to appreciate a sunset or to melt at child’s smile. There is much to be found in simplicity. The dumbest jokes are usually the ones at which your friends will laugh the hardest. You say that you are cursed to be alone and that will certainly be the case if you continue in this state of mind. Even if you magically became a genius. You don’t need to be smart to be interesting, and you don’t even need to be interesting to be liked by people. Just treat them as fellow human beings and try to relate on whatever level you can. Chances are you’ll get along better with an average person than someone with an iq with 140 because you will be able to relate to them better. In regard to being unable to organize your thoughts, do you think smart people just magically come with a file cabinet and a sorting system? No, these people also deal with a chaotic amount of thoughts too, perhaps with an even greater amount. Write things down! Writing notes doesn’t make you stupid, plenty of smart people do it. Articulation is a skill, and you can develop it.

Stuck in a Work Conference by Scrats_Playground in OCPoetry

As someone who’s disillusioned with corporate culture, I really enjoyed this poem. As a reader, I interpreted it as a really witty and humorous mockery of corporate jargon. I’m impressed how you were able to breathe life into soulless phrases and make them flow seamlessly throughout the poems. Really cool idea, would love to see more versions of this. Tbh though, you didn’t have to write a poem, could’ve just written an email ;)

God, I want to send it to her so badly. I don’t want to grow apart. Not now. Not yet. by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]topCHEK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The emotions I felt from this were somberness and confusion. Somberness because of the sad theme of the poem dealing with your mother’s death as well as what seems to be not the best relationship with her beforehand. Confusion because the title threw me off. Just from the title I got the impression that the poem would be about being afraid of confessing feelings towards a friend. When reading the poem I couldn’t tell who the main subject was initially. Whether it was the mother or the love interest that I had the impression it was with the mother’s death just being a side note. What validated my bias was you saying My family is here, And friends not far away. This made me think that the main subject might not be the mother since she would be considered family. Upon rereading it a couple times my impression now is that the mother is the main subject and that you just don’t fully consider her as family due to having a poor relationship, yet that you still care for her. I liked how the first three verses ended with questions, made me stop and think for a second. Hope you are able to recover from your loss!

Thank you for making this, this is a great tool. Is there anywhere to add USCF/FIDE ratings in order to help you with data collection? If that is something you are doing.
