I must say that I am really amazed the skills people show in bullets, with pre-moves (is this the correct term?) and ability to spot tactics in a fraction of second.

Cancer is pretty horrible. In fact, it’s in the top 10 of worst things on the planet. Take it from a dead guy.

Do you think you play too much bullets?

This is really a lot! Do you know somebody who played even more than this?

Like it or loath it, it seems to have got under our skin one way or another. Anything to do with Chess is fine by me, although it can be great fun as long as it's not confused with making any REAL progress. Besides, it's nice to still play and have some guilt free time off from all this never ending - we must get better or what's the point - kind of thing.

Admittedly, the community of bullet is really fond of trash talking because bullet doesn't let you improve yourself as much as rapid, just like old grandmasters say.
To be good at bullet, you just have to not blunder and recognize when your opponent blunders, even at my level (1700 and 1800 before). With rapid, people are much nicer because you can directly see improvement and you invest a lot of time into making the best moves than just blitzing out dubious and passive openings in fractions of a second, and then when you blunder you either resign or you try to flag your opponent. There's less skill involved with bullet because blunders are ubiquitous, the skill in bullet comes from consistency, not blundering, and punishing blunders as fast as possible.
Don't forget instincts... if you launch an attack that even LOOKS remotely scary (even if it's not) it can have devastating side affects, especially to the opponents times and calculation, even if you actually blundered.

your opponent has the same amount of time as you so nothing to complain about. if you lose on time it's because you don't understand that in bullet the clock is a very important part of the game.
Unless you are playing "bullet" but not the real version of chess.com bullet (1|1 or 2|1 is technically bullet according to chess.com)
good post
should be said that 5 hrs of bullet is different than 5 hrs of "normal chess" with 1 or few games played, since "normal" one demands a kind of self discipline in varius fields to achieve some results, bullet is more like "red or black one?", "odd or even one?"...
