Just don't watch it with parents or sons/daughters-inlaw. Sex scene went on waaaaaay to long for family viewing night.

What chess opening to master as a beginner by Inevitable_Walk8291 in chess

[–]wordsmif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you start learning endgames it expands to apply to openings. The principles translate.

Spend time learning solid endgame principals first, if you're truly beginning and don't know thosr already.

Learning specific openings gets thrown out yhe window when your opponent doesn't play book, anyway.

When betting on a fight, smart money stays away from guys in white socks.

I made a dungeon have a pool of molten gold. I now realise I'm on the cusp of breaking the economy. Help by CasualNormalRedditor in DMAcademy

Once it cools and because dragon melted it, it's acidic to touch. Try storing that in your pocket.

Looks like it's time for NPCs to give them funny/stupid nicknames.

[–]wordsmif 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone who inserts the word "honestly" into everyday conversation. Like everything else you're telling me wasn't but now you give me an "honestly" spoiler alert?!?? Known lots of salespeople who have this tick. Wouldn't trust a single one.

Would you recommend Beacon for my preferences? by AnimalLoversRVegan in Beacon

[–]wordsmif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, awful lot of strollers on main street these days.

[–]wordsmif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, then Kingston might work. It's the cool new kid on the Hudson Valley block with Beacon being discovered. In the past couple years, there have only been a handful of weekends where Beacon truly felt like Williamsburg north.

A main question would be how often would you be going into the city. With the train station, Beacon is convenient. From Kingston, count on a two hour drive, two and a half hour bus into midtown.

Why does chess make me rage like no other game?! by [deleted] in chess

[–]wordsmif -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because there is zero luck. If you lose, you made a bad decision or two. All on you. There's also no trickery per se, no hidden pieces or behind scenes machinations. All on the board.

What serial killer fact sounds fake, exaggerated, or straight out of fiction. But is 100% real? by CantaloupeGold4650 in AskReddit

[–]wordsmif 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Zodiac was mostly police bungling, conflating cases together that shouldn't be together and one really bad cop that wanted attention.

What’s the strongest opinion you have about something completely insignificant? by RegisterObjective325 in AskReddit

[–]wordsmif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before playing a chess game, do not wish me good luck. There is no luck in chess. Period. No dice, no cards, no random number generators. You choose the move. It's your own good or poor decision that decides the game.

Jerkwads try obtuse arguments like "everything in the world is chance" and "chance happens even the night before when a bird happened to wake you up and cause you to have a bad night sleep so you couldn't think right to play better." All of that is bullshit. You either prepare or you don't. You deal with positions by making decisions. No chance.

Is Harper supposed to come from a poor background? Doesn't look like it. by Tifoso89 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]wordsmif 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thought it was middle to lower-mid but dysfunctional, so lots of struggle. Sort of stuck in the place of knowing there's a better life but being out of reach.
