Honestly the worst part of the op was that he said he was disappointed in me. Not angry, just disappointed.
Who are you, my parents?

i can if you want me to be
I spent ten minutes waiting for an opponent 30 minutes and 45l45 and didn’t find any.
I usually get a 30 minute game in seconds. Which planet you on? ;o)
planet of high elolol
I guess we should visit planet of low elo, so we can play those time controls
If you think the 10|0 pool is weak, just wait till you discover 3|2 and 3|0. A 2300 in 10|0 crushes a 2300 in 3|0 in all time controls faster than bullet.

It's not the same thing, you cannot make those comparison and say a 1300 at 1' is better than a 1300 at 10' just because the time control is shorter.
I have played Daily Chess all my life and I play it as if it was a classical time control, because I dont play OTB, so Daily is the next best thing. On some other site Im 1800+ at Daily and im regularly beating players over there who claim a similar FIDE rating, who happen to be rated at 1800-2000. In longer time controls Im 700 points away from IMs, who happen to be 2500 at that site. Now, look at GothamChess rapid / blitz rating, he's an IM and he's like 1600 points away from me in short time controls here. How would you explain the discrepancy? The explanation is you can't compare time controls like that.
At 10' rapid / blitz / whatever you call it, here, I struggle to get past 1100 elo. You cannot say a 1100 who beats me here at 10' would be much much better than me at a slower time control, unless he can magically gain 700 points and play at 1800 strength at the slower time control.
The old forum troll Jason R., had a 2400+ bullet here and if you looked at his FIDE profile, his highest FIDE rating was 1872 after a lifetime of studying chess. If you looked at his chess.com profiles, the longer the time control he played, the lower his rating went.
You’re going to be my parents? Like, both at the same time?
if u want omegalul
i prefer something like 3/2, 3/5 or 5/5 in case my opponent abandons the game.
I like when my opponent abandon the game. I just annoy them by telling them I reported you I guess.

I have so many issues with this post that I'll have to make a list.
1) What I said only applies at the 2200+ level. At the 1300 level, Rapid ratings are, on average, 200 higher than Blitz ratings. That's because the vast majority of 2000+ players play Blitz and/or Bullet exclusively, while most sub-2000 players Rapid as well, if not exclusively so. This renders the sub-2000 10|0 pool weaker, and this pool is extended to roughly 2200 due to the corresponding rating inflation. However, past 2200, only the few true 2000+ that play Rapid remain, and their ratings are deflated by the occasional encounters with 2000+ players who don't play Rapid regularly, and whose Rapid ratings hence haven't yet caught up with their true strength (which is the majority of 2000+ players, as explained).
2) If that "other website" is Lichess, I'll have you known that the ratings there are inflated by about 500 points at your level, so your discrepancy makes sense. The ratings of stronger players are so low because most of them simply don't play correspondence chess that often, and their ratings are therefore inaccurate. The discrepancy makes perfect sense, although I don't know how it's at all relevant to my original post.
3) I already mentioned both that my statement only applies at the 2200+ level and that your true strength is the one indicated by your chess.com rating (1300), but my statement was about averages, anyway, so even if your claims were valid, they still wouldn't refute it.
4) Your example of Jason R. only proves my point. If his Rapid rating was lower than his Blitz rating, then he would indeed, statistically speaking, get crushed by someone whose Rapid rating was the same as his Blitz rating. So I don't know where you were going by bringing him up.
I was going to respond "angrily" to this, also in jest, mimicking average forum posts for a laugh, but fortunately I remembered that I don't have a sense of humor.
