The difference between a quality college/University education and a shit one of that the students who should fail get failed.
Excellent. It looks like we both explained ourselves. You appear to understand my position, and when I ask for clarification further on yours you tell me that it is my fault. Thanks for pointing out my flaws without clarification.
Them: "How do I get to your place in my career?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Them: "You... Have the position I want eventually. What did you do?"
Me: "Well. 20... No that cant be right... I mean... Yeah... 20 years ago... I graduated college... Then uhh. I'm... Uh..."
At this point either you make up some bullshit or you say it's just experience. Then you realize what a midlife crisis is and wonder if you are having one which like like 20% of the definition of a midlife crisis.
I was this person. Most people who do this are what people would usually call travelers. People who do it voluntarily, like I did, usually had enough money to get to another interesting place or buy a meal anytime they are hungry. Many people have odd jobs in remote places that preclude housing (I have had these jobs too). Some people are also begging as they travel. I never begged. I worked whenever I needed money. Generally speaking, living like this without facing extreme difficulties is exclusively a white male privilege from a country with a strong passport. Non-white people are routinely arrested. Women are routinely raped. Weak passports get deported.
Non-consecutively I spent a little over 4 years living in a tent or on the ground in some capacity. The longest period of time I lived exclusively in a tent was 14 months consecutively.
I hiked backcountry trails, city streets and traveled extensively through a number of countries. I rode a bicycle for some of those years as well. In total I walked somewhere around 1500-2000 miles and rode between 3000 and 4000 miles. The farthest I have ever walked in a single day is 30 miles. The farthest I have ever cycled in a single day is just over 120 miles. The longest period of time I spent in a single national forest was 5 months, but I worked in the back country there for 3 of them so I don't know how to count that. There are thousands of people who work in the back country for many many months on end doing things like trail maintenance throughout the US.
Most Americans on the west coast call any place a shipping container can unload or an aircraft carrier to dock a port.
A grand total of zero Americans would ever think to disambiguate a warm water port or not. Especially from Texas. That's the weird part. Not the word port itself.
Harbor is usually reserved for non-commercial or fishing use only.
Wait, I am sorry... when, after the meme ending did I mock them? Like I said earlier I thought they were playing a bit until they reacted so negatively.
Sounds like you need a 1:00 huh as well.
This is just false. Women, on average, are most sexually active in their 30s. We have known this for ever... And somehow this garbage thought that young women are more sexual keeps showing up in male focused narratives.
This is most likely an effect of recency bias for you which is unfortunate.
Radical feminism is 4th or 5th wave feminism.
I haven't. And now I believe you even less and think you are intentionally spreading rumors or lies because you have an agenda.
Fwiw, I haven't met a single real person who espouses the viewpoint you described. I'm not saying they don't exist. I'm saying that until evidence is presented otherwise I doubt there are as many as you think there are.
If you feel you have not been derogatory, please reconsider your language usage in the future.
I wasn't trying to be dismissive. You bring up several good points. I asked because what seems to me the most obvious small form factor answer hadn't been considered at all.
Lol. That's my thought. We use the virtual keyboards a lot already. Like the other poster said there are some drawbacks but I find it much easier than any physical mini keyboard (far less strain).
Maybe I am confused why you can't play them on a smartphone?
This was me in 2013...
The whoosh is part of the joke... Which apparently you didn't know. Also, it isn't insular. It's literally the opposite of that. I thought they were participating in the joke until they replied in such a negative way.
I don't understand why you are so upset about this and why you are so derogatory towards what is potentially the largest generation of chess players proportionally to their generation size to have ever existed.
Wow. Heaven forbid I used a joke from the largest online chess influencers following when there are multiple threads on this post from the same community...
