This website is an absolute joke

  Heroin is just a little less addictive than cigarettes.  BTW, the Veteran's Administration has started a Chess.com outreach program. There's a weekly meeting for anyone who feels suicidal, or homicidal. We meet 3 times a week to complain about, you know, trolls, threads, mods, Erik, games not loading, etc. If you can connect a real problem in real life to a corresponding problem on Chess.com, you get a trophy.   At yesterday's meeting, we started a discussion about moderation that ended in an active shooter. I've been thrown out of the meeting before because of my language. The guys in 2 lower have started using an experimental drug to deal with withdrawal from Chess.com. Lets just say its not a pretty picture. 

engines make no damn sense, hell, coming to a chess site to engine play games is moronic behavior, confusing what drives one to do it.

Well my brother is an alcoholic, one of my close friends is an addiction psychologist in Newton Massachusetts and my college studies in physiology have given me insight over the years as to how various triggers effect dopamine centers in our brains.

If you are trying to get me to discuss drug use, that would violate the terms and conditions I accepted when I signed up here. Any other questions? 

Yeah, it's like fake bling, only fake bling can get you laid.

     You know what's an ABSOLUTE joke today?   CNN.   We've got 2 escaped prisoners in Georgia who killed 2 law enforcement officers. We've got a UPS employee who went ballistic in San Francisco this mourning and killed 5 people.  You've got a terrible, fire disaster in London where the death count will be rising all week, but all we're getting is the poor little Congressman who got shot in the leg this mourning. He will survive his injuries, with GREAT health care ins,  but its non-stop wall to wall coverage for 6 hrs now. And I'm sure it will be repeated ad nauseum all night with Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Erin Burnett, Don Lemon, etc, etc.  Remember the good old days when CNN use to be a 24 hr news network?  

And the liberal media will defend the "heroic" actions of the congressional member, until he invokes God.  Then they will turn on him.  

what the hell is fake bling?

counterfeit cash?? That not described in the terms and conditions when registering?

OMG... I had to stop laughing in order to answer you!

First there is knowing what BLING is.

Second, I will tell you a story about a guy I worked with, in the car business (fellow Finance Manager). He would wear a fake Rolex, a fake gold bracelet and a fake diamond ring. He would take all that crap off when waiting on customers, so as not to make them think he was getting rich off them. Then before we would hit the bars after work he would put them back on. He would look at me and say "These our my LURES!"

I can can tell you for a fact they worked. He would get plenty of one night stands, but he could never keep a steady girlfriend.

So anyway FAKE BLING can get you laid, but a FAKE RATING? I understand your confusion!

Is not The Golden Gate Bridge fake?

it sure aint no bling bling

We really have to make OTB great again.

No it is is really a bridge. You can drive on it and everything.

Only toddlers think the Golden Gate Bridge is made of gold.

That's funny, where I come from women wear their jewelry at the bar so they won't get hit on as much, men don't wear at all. It's a sign of tackyness and "I'm trying too hard" As long you're wearing the right shirt, you're good with words and you slapped on some deodorant, you got it made.

Lol 

I love it
