title pretty much says all, because my computer is slow, meaning that I always lose games on lag and so my rating is bad, so I don't really care about quick ratings, I expect I am not alone.

I've also heard quick games gives you hairy palms and turn you blind.

If you have lag, then guess what you do? You play LONG games! Quick games are useful in their own right, but long games actually help you!
and that is why after realizing that long games are better, they are what I play

Does all this mean that tactics trainer is bad?
Why would this mean that tactics trainer is bad?

How are quick games unfair when the problem, a laggy computer, comes from your own end? Playing quick games when you know you have a laggy computer doesn't make a lot of sense I would say.

buy:
new by Apple corp. this pack of kitchen space, computer and a desert survival pack with Wi-Fi zone installed on the... uh... camel... and uses the hump energy for all it's actions. maby if you buy this you could enjoy quick games on chess.com without lag.
it seems this topic has become very humorous in nature. (did I spell that right?)

No such thing as a laggy computer. It's a laggy network connection.

Yes, it isn't a matter of unfair or the like, it more a matter of taste. Don't like them...don't play!
PawnAvalanche
Quick games aren't unfair. If your connection is too slow then don't play them.
