@ElonFinkelstein@Rainmaker1973 That being said, I wouldn't cry over a loss. Heck, it's an opportunity to learn. I don't understand crying over chess, but I'm still ok if someone feels the need.
@ElonFinkelstein@Rainmaker1973 Crying is a natural emotional release. People cry from pressure, frustration, stress, grief, & even relief. The idea that someone should never cry has probably caused more damage than crying itself. Bottling everything up until it turns into anger or numbness, isn’t strength.
@EndgameaiChess There's no money to be made in chess. Something needs to change. Less than 1% of the people that play make a living at it... and even then it's not great money. Magnus is the exception because he knew how to market himself. Hikaru should be making at least $1 million/year.
@YutakaBOOM@Aku_700 The company, the employees for working there, and the man that assaulted her (especially him)… are all in the wrong. Wearing a bikini to work?? What’s your motive? Why work there? Why do you want to go eat there? Everyone is stupid! Same with Hooters, Twin Peaks and others.
@thedogfather@LevAronian Great suggestions. Better than drugs. Your immune system just needs a few tools to work well. Of course, there will be pushback... but your body prefers natural things.
@xxChessMaster Paul Morphy. There are many others from different eras who were also exceptionally talented. Gage them based on others of that same era.
@peta I agree they are family, but let’s not get carried away with these silly words. I support animal protection, but this is ridiculous. Even your name is PETa. I hope you don’t support marrying your companions! Stick to anti-cruelty… you’re alienating people.
@peta A dog gets loose and hurts someone... what do you do? Who is to blame?
If we have to chain a dog... watch them, feed them, water, etc... give them attention. Don't just chain and ignore them.
@peta I get it, and I'm against ALL animal cruelty (for protection of life... I get having to kill though). Some dogs have gotten loose and killed people. >> Nov 21, 2025, 23-yr-old student Madison Riley Hull was mauled to death by three dogs when she was pet-sitting in Tyler, Tx.
@ImMeme0 Most people with children don't mind another child crying...parents seem to be more empathetic (Those with and without children, both feel sorry for each other).
I always take noise-canceling headsets when flying because the engine buzz can be worse than a crying child.
