QGD also has several major branches. Bg5 vs Bf4 for white and Be7 vs Bb4 for black.

Among many others.

white can basically do the same things regardless of the variation

I disagree.

 

im not talking like 20 moves down the line but white's moves are all very similar in the QGD

Those are different variations that lead to different middlegames yet you're arguing white plays  (more or less) the same way every time.... I don't know how to respond.

im not talking about the middlegames, im just saying the opening moves are very similar for white

Thats not true at all. Queens gambit decline can be so many things. Vienna, Ragozin exchange variation slav chebalenko slav  semi slav Bg5 Bf4 Tarrasch semi tarrasch etc

Even Bg5, the exchange variation and Bf4 are very different moves that lead to totally different positions in the opening.

People like winning. Most will choose a boring opening, just so they can win. Rating is a status thing

I like winning, and I treat my rating as a status thing (to a degree)... but I play double-edged likes like the Najdorf.

It’s still depressing even for a 10-year-old to do this.

Pro tip: jokes are usually associated with some form of humor.

Just sayin'.

Joke: n. a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline. 

You had nothing from that. It wasn’t funny. You spammed it 10 times. Even if it were funny, a joke would be worn out by the 2nd, 3rd time.

Wait, what? We defined it for you, and it wasn’t funny to anyone. If anything, it was spamming.

I worked for 20 years making TV cartoons for the international market. It's not often that I was accused of having no sense of humor.

What are your qualifications? Just asking...

Ah, yes. You have no arguements left so you're resorting to age-shaming.

You wouldn’t need to defend whether if it is funny if it were funny. It wasn’t. You were spamming the same 6 second video everywhere.
