   4 women, are you sure?     Oh yeah, he got his butt kicked. IDK what he said to get 1 of them upset and she called 3 of her friends. It might have been when "ALIVE" was here.

He's been positive in the past, but these days I only see him criticize people.

He was one of two people who came in to help in my little spat with Pfren, when fake accounts were being used. It all ended happily, hopefully no hard feelings with Pfren and I got talking to Keto. One thing is, I'm sure he's had a very hard time in his life lately. He's ok.

I've chatted with him in private messages too (in the past). I don't think he is a bad person. Maybe you could say what I did in this topic was taking some cheap shots at him, but it's an honest criticism that I only see him comment when it's to tear someone down. For example if a new player asks what opening to learn, he doesn't say that's not useful, well he does say that, but he has to add in comments like "this is a typical question of someone who knows nothing about chess."

  That's what he said to Kibi.  He may have been impatient with her and just wanted to brush her off.

@Charlotte was up for a good fight... but she take huffy puffy, no play with Lion? A lack of female on forum. Maybe they have more important stuff to do... have babies or whatever.

@Itude I'm afraid I don't have the luxury to afford such witchcraft. I do have plenty of Ak-47's and Toyota's though.

Impact of Mental Pollution on Learning and Memory :

Abstract

With the advent of new technologies and their versatile products, people are directly or indirectly subject to mental pollution – contamination of mind by various forms affective visual stimuli mostly with sexual, violent, and scary content ranging from short internet clips to popular commercial advertisements widely prevalent in the digital and virtual world. Similar to the way water, air, and environment pollution threatens human life, a high amount of uncontrolled exposure to mental pollution may result in poor memory and thus hinder learning. Therefore, it is necessary to raise the awareness of public on the side effects of various media tools which may impact a society's level of literacy and education. The purpose of this qualitative study based on semistructured interviews with different members of the society including students, academics, and parents is to find out how people view mental pollution and whether or not they are aware of its negative consequences. Besides the content analysis of transcribed interviews, this study also elaborates on the pedagogical implications of mental pollution by providing helpful information to maintain a strong memory.

The Mental pollution can be resolved by readings of litterature ,philosophy, ,wisdom and practice of certains techniques (relaxation, meditation, mantras)  like an Athlete , site interesting imo : https://dailystoic.com/most-popular/
