Currently as young and someone not adult, its really swift learning new skills, mainly due to past experience in learning too, brain still under development and high neurolasticity. Currently I also am working on many things like chess, maths, computer science, poetry, languages, etc but despite these there are some others things which I may want to master as adult starter. Maybe something I got to know as adult and want to master it or something that for circumstances I don't know may happen I fail to master as adult. So my questions to anyone who has been adult starter learner who actually has worked to master till expert or slight dominant level on that thing not being satisfied with brief abilities in that. •How difficult is it to be an adult learner? •If you have been both adult learner and young learner, how different in difficulty and experience in what you started as young and what you started as young? •Have you reached any level as adult learner where you feel stuck? Even though not everything has elo, but still try to give it an elo equivalent of chess to give us a slight idea what level is that •How easy or difficult is that to find a trainer/coach who does not get loose or biased as an attempt to take advantage of the fact you are adult and that most adults get satisfied with very slight ability to do something unlike competitive spirits of young?

so yes I basically stole the half-baked idea from Heisuke-Kun sorry not sorry and there was no copyright law to be found there and it is not like I never done this before but this is mostly for the new members that need to know me even better XD so ask me anything but they must be meaningful questions not one+one or something terrible like that.

You have the chance to meet ONE creator of your choice (YouTuber, celebrity, author, musician, or anyone else).In my case, I would choose the chess player Dina Belenkaya

In a humorous way. Only one wish allowed My methods are (Use any one of them) •I won't die before Half-life 3 •I won't die before GTA 6 •I won't die before chess 2 What are yours?
xD (wait WHY am I sharing mine lol but I guess, just to start the convo). I suppose a certain mega Shunsui simp will laugh at my first pick at least lol xD. 
So guys, I'm inspired by Akitoclaw, and I also have an interest for Francis Jammes, so I've decided to try and write a poem in Francis's style with my idea about guilt (and some help by chat GPT because, hell yeah, Literature is my WORST subject at school, and how could I write a poem with only a little of time every day (although I've been working on it for a week) and a lack of skills, but I swear I only use chat as an assistant, and proof? This forum, because chat GPT ain't god of emotions, you know, he's good, but can he replace a human in everything? Nauh! So there are things that he can't help me, so...I need your help ;-;...), so, all I need you to do is share your ideas here about the beauty of guilt, I may consider them into the poem :Đ (pls no hate).
welp this will be something but I will start off with Katniss in The Maze Runner yes it could be anything, but nothing too crazy bad XD

I've constantly thinking about starting a chess youtube channel and spending some time and efforts on it, currently only for the purpose of gaining the ability to make useful and entertaining content that a mass of people can enjoy and find useful/entertaining. Also producing good content is also a crucial part of my future goal of a being a game developer so at least some idea, even little, will be gained. If I can produce such content, then not just in YT even other times where I need to present something I would still have a headstart knowing and having experience for producing content for mass. But for starting a chess youtube channel, what made me hesitate that I am currently not a master level or a titled player, or will I still be able to produce good content without being a high level player? Currently I am still an internediate close to 1600.

Is it only to me? Its been a while that i started to see chess dreams. Dream is iam playing(solving) in different complex position it isn't about watching it, but iam literally playing at that moment . And it makes me dizzy in my head every morning. Cause iam not sleeping at that time iam playing it just like playing it on chess.com at midnight  Iam thinking  Its could be because i play too many games in a day. The positions and my movements were real and correct. The position should be my recent game (it could be the major line of the game or win win situation or the game changing line. The most of the dreams was that my losing games and i play it in my dream that iam solving it in another variation which could have let me win .  So i m taking a break of playing too many games in a day. It feels annoying and disturbing to play chess at midnight in my dream. While its not lucid dream my brain is hyper active during midnight so it affects my health badly. Moreover my sleep duration also reduces. Honestly my brain couldnt accept my loss in a winning or a tough game. The best part is the position is perfectly correct to my recent game. The most of the dream should end in a checkmate and its like a puzzle to solve in midnight and the puzzle was my recent game.  Did you ever felt this like mine  Pls comment and review your feedback and your experience about it👇

Title may seem offensive but I'm not talking about necessarily someone in your friend circle or family, it could be anyone. For me, they are some politicians(not all but specific ones) in my country. It may be obviously why Then there are lot of men with no civic sense pee in public in my country. Then members of CBSE(A so-called education board) because they are looting money recently, they for their exams charge 100 Rs. per question if your answer is incorrect and even if your answer was incorrect there is no refund, then they still gave answer sheet checking to third party which marked even completely correct answers as wrong, money-looting. Then there is a standardized book based on CBSE syllabus NCERT. They literally remove content from NCERT and still give removed content in exams. Then many companies who sell blue-ray filter glasses scam Indians by showing in their ad blue-ray causing eye-strain and those filters by blocking blue-rays saves the eyes when in reality blue-rays does not cause eye-strain or harm the eyes so by blocking the rays they are not saving eyes. In fact sunlight normal sunlight has more blue rays than screens, so our brain thinks its day as sunlight produces it so if use phones at night, blue rays makes our brain adapting to daytime so we don't feel sleepy at night. But that is completely different from what those ads show and that also makes those glasses useless at daytime. Then Trump Then is cencorboard of India because they cencor movies with no adult scenes and mild violence, ex-Phule, but they are completely fine with objectification of women, sex jokes in movies like Housefull 3 which also after 12+ rating.

Well what I mean is, for example if you're American then American celebrities you hate, but if you're also of Chinese descent then any Chinese, Chinese-American and American celebrities you hate. Otherwise, no crossing over to other countries xD. For me, definitely going to give it to Kris Wu.
