You have to play the game to succeed in engineering, and play it well. The resume you're looking at is outdated, btw - I'm no longer looking. But thanks for validating my amazing accomplishments for everyone here to appreciate.

Yes 6 months at Enhance IT, followed by 3 years at Walmart, followed by 6 months at Lunafit. All this after graduating with a bachelor's degree from the prestigious Middle Tennessee State University. Your dad is a physician. You grew up privileged. What the hell happened to you?

I agree, actually. It's probably against some forum rules. We'll see if the mod does something about it.

To make money... you've got to make connections with the people who have the money, and the first barrier you run into is HR, hence you must share in HRs BS... that's the game, and I play it well. The resume you're looking at is outdated, btw - I'm no longer looking. But thanks for validating my amazing accomplishments for everyone here to appreciate. Did you notice the summa cum laude GPA, as well? I put that at the bottom, it's a sidenote. You weren't exactly in that category, though, were you?

Nope. I was Magna.

WOW! summa cum laude from Middle Tennesse State University! imagine that!

Tempetown

Wow! You have a rich fantasy life making up things about random people on the internet that you have no clue about. I, on the other hand posted nothing but facts about you, correct? Yes, of course I am correct. And of course you are wrong. See a pattern here?

I see many patterns, one of which is you acting a buffoon while trying intimidating, but really acting embarrassment to yourself.

nice try. it was you, not me, who hurled an insult on your very first post to me when I had said nothing to you. It was you, not me, who was unable to come up with a single example of luck in chess, which is what this thread is supposed to be about, not your continual word vomit about other people. It was you, not me, extolling your career achievements and bone fides when you are really just four years removed from a bachelor's degree from an (at best) average college and have nothing in any extraordinary on your resume. Need I go on?

You can go on all you like, your opinion means nothing. No one cares what you believe. Infact, you don't even believe yourself, you just say things grasping desperately for power, you don't believe in anything other than power. It's just like I've been saying the entire time - you are not worth the time responding to. That's why I'm not giving you a rational argument, you don't deserve one. 
Keep trying though!

Which of those things I said is untrue? Such a sad little man...

Tempetown

Seriously? "That is why you are not giving me a rational argument? I don't deserve one?" That is basically the logical equivalent of "I know you are, but what am I?" Nice burn! You really got me there!

I don't need to make prolonged attempts to "get you", I just need to say what's true and you, being a piece of trash, are already gotten by virtue of your own existence.

Dude that doesnt even make any sense. "I'm already 'gotten' by virtue of my own existence?" Your not exactly a great wordsmith.

What really made no sense was earlier, when you kept just claiming there was no luck in chess, but then you attempt to pass the mere claim off as a supremely rational argument. That was really duncey but then again this sort of thing is not uncommon on this forums.

Someone suffers from poor reading comprehension. Maybe that is why you ended up at Middle Tennessee State?

huh? what happened... I thought this was supposed to be about luck in chess.

Tempetown

Yeah exactly. The largest. The least discriminating. The one that is known for their great 'value' like cheap tuition. That one.

It is. Sorry. Have to dispatch with some dumbass who refuses to go away.

You mean the largest university in Tennessee, with 27,000 students?
Although... what dunces like you do not understand is learning really occurs outside of institutions.

you walked straight into that one. youre pretty good at blocking punches with your face, i will give you that...

Tempetown

You owned 100 engineering books? Did you mean to post that little tidbit on some other forum? How in the hell is that in any way relevant to this conversation?

Tempetown

Learning outside the curriculum? What in the holy hell are you talking about? I never addressed that point because it made so sense. Do you need help? should someone call an ambulence?

Tempetown

OK everyone. Sorry about mr. psycho there. now we can go back to luck in chess.

No wonder there are so many posts today. The conversation has become a playground squabble.

Wow - a 100 post fight!
Including 'argument by credentials'.
One person flaunting his credentials - which amounts to a 'glass jaw' ...
and the other person 'breaking that glass' ... and also 'breaking the glass' of the Guy and his sixty year obsession with 'more intelligent' and 'superior'
Result: the Guy becomes inferior. To everyone
Moral: People who live in glass 'credentials and IQ tests houses' and have glass jaws -
should not throw stones.
