Looking at your game history, it does not look like you've been paired with someone much higher rated than you before.

I know this guy closed his account, but for anyone curious as to why this happened, he has played only 8 rapid games, and chesscom pairs you with a bunch of players above and below your "rating" when you are new, to determine what your "actual" rating is. If you lose too many games, you'll drop down in rating and start facing opponents around that range. It's just a way to test the waters so the website knows how deep you can really swim. The more you play, the more accurate your rating gets. So just keep playing.

Seriously? Even here? “You’re gonna win so much you’ll get tired of winning.” Please just go away. Eat cheeseburgers, onion rings, and chocolate cake. Go develop your tower in Moscow. Sell “Pardon In A Can.” Prepare for your divorce. Imagine sleeping with your daughter. There’s only one person crying, and whining, and throwing tantrums, and stomping his little autocratic feet. Who’s the real snowflake? I really wish I’d never discovered Chess.com has chat rooms about ten minutes ago. Jesus. FB.02.

You were the country that we all used to look up to, but now it's probably Germany ... which is ironic.

Isn’t it? But Angela Merkel is a scientist, a scholar, balanced, and reasonable. But finally, after 3 tries, Joe made it. Thank the powers that be. Just yesterday he gave the most riveting speech at Pfizer.  I had almost forgotten how important US Presidents were until we got another great one. I will always honor my beloved Obama. But so glad, Joe, late in life, finally made it. Don’t tell me that man has trouble speaking. Brilliant, articulate, knows foreign policy in his sleep, empathetic, caring, and finally, at long last, almost tipping point too late, is going to truly address Climate Change (actually global warming - more euphemistic words games from Republicans catering to the oil and gas lobby).  Hopefully we aren’t already doomed. We’ve lost 65% of all wildlife since 1970. So tired of greed.  We are not the only species on this plant.  And what’s the point of jobs, wealth, curing Covid, if no planet to live on.  So thankful the long Oranges (origins?! - who can’t speak? 🤦‍♀️) nightmare is over. Go golf. Go away.  I hope Joe can finally bring the planet together as one. Not in my lifetime, but a start. He was the man for this moment in time.  Perhaps why he lost twice before. Timing is the essence of life.  I know the USA has caused most of the pollution.  I’ve been existentially upset since mid 90s.  Our leaders  ignoring what’s was always right in front of our face. I hope the Democratic nations can come together to reverse the damage.  Please save our water, our air, our land, all creatures great and small.  She is not ours to own. We are hers. And she finally has had it with our greed and cruelty as evidenced everywhere.  She will rid us if she has to.  Planet earth is the largest complex living entity we have any awareness of that provides life. It’s time for the utmost respect.  Quit thinking about your perceived afterlife and focus on now.

You are lost. Because of Obama I couldn't get a job. Because of Trump I did. Because of Obama, I got taxed Because I couldn't afford insurance. Because of Trump, I found a job and saved a lot of money due to Trumps tax breaks. I lost my job due to the pandemic and still living off my savings. Because of the recent stolen election, my vote has permanently lost value. Democrats will cheat to save antarctic ice, but destroy the lives of Americans.

No. Biden is more like a dictator than a president. Free speech isn't a thing anymore, thanks to him.

 Uninsured when ACA was passed

Avatar of you23456

A title like no one like chess becomes political because of a face and name. I like chess and only people who always lose dont like chess. But to veemichal, ACA became a tax and it was removed. ACA didn't get me a plan at all, just another bill to pay.

You do realize the 8 year trajectory from around 8,000 to 19,000 the S&P made after the global financial crisis of 2008, don’t you?  The economic trajectory was already ascending consistently.  A jobs bill would have helped to speed the recovery, but Republicans would not allow it to be brought to the floor for a vote.  The economy would have ascended faster if they’d given Obama the 1.4B recovery package he requested rather than the 820M he got. Yet they are happy to give out 1.3B in recovery mainly to the ultra wealthy in tax cuts which produces no jobs as one of Trump’s first bills as President.  Do you know what the unemployment rate was when Obama took office?  Around 9-10%. It was under 4% when he left office, and all of this achievement was obtained regardless of constant obstruction from Mitch McConnell not allowing any house bills to go to the floor of the Senate for debate or for an up or down vote. Do you know how many people were without healthcare when Obama took office, and how many useless junk insurance plans were on the market, and how many were enrolled into health care as a result of the ACA?  44M. After, only 26.7.M were without healthcare. More would have been covered if red states with GOP legislators had not rejected the plan.  Do you know that when you ask Kentuckians if they like KYNECT, they say absolutely. Love it.  If you ask them how they feel about Obamacare (ACA), they hate it.   Awful.  KYNECT is OBAMACARE.  Do you know who prevented Ebola (far worse than Covid) from becoming endemic in the US?  Obama, by leading the fight against it in Africa.  Do you know who prevented Iran from having nuclear power within 10 years (which buys time to negotiate a solution to our differences)?  Obama.  And do you know who was put in charge of forwarding and accomplishing many of these achievements?  Biden.

 

I do believe you have forgotten the 5 or so existential crises we were facing as a country and globally in 2008 after Bush 43, rather Cheney 43.  Do you remember how frightened we all were after 8 years of Bush and two wars, with one, the Iraq War, unprovoked?  Iraq did not attack us on 9/11.  Saudi Arabia did.

 

Why is that deficits always sky rocket with Republican presidents, and that’s okay, and are lowered with Democratic Presidents, yet you label yourself the fiscally Conservative party.  You suddenly become deficit hawks when a Democrat takes office.  Reagan, Bush, Trump, raised. Clinton, Obama, lowered, with the exception of requiring a bailout to keep our economy alive after 2008.  But the deficit was decreasing until the 1.3B giveaway to the 1% under Trump within first few months, years before Covid. Just a present to the ultra wealthy.  It saddens me that you think Trump actually cares about you, but your beliefs, however you got there, are your business.  But some beliefs are dangerous and it’s been a growing cancer upon our country since the mid 90s:  the NRA causing militant white supremacy groups to surge, especially after a black President was elected (guns guns and more guns; what an industry! Wowee! It’s a shame the NRA isn’t really around to see their progress any longer due to committing fraud against their members and donors.), the Tea Party, and the constant bombardment of factless propaganda prophesied through social media and media outlets not fact checked in real time which left ‘unchecked’ is our biggest threat.  It’s as if they are hoping for Mad Max and the Thunderdome/Fury Road.

 

You talk about a stolen election which over 60 Republican appointed judges throughout the country dismissed as frivolous lawsuits or ruled as lacking any evidence, yet you overlook proven, and admitted by the Republican Party, and 16 of Trumps own agencies, of widespread interference by Russia in the 2016 election.  But of course, low level, career federal employees are the deep state. Fall back response. You can’t have it both ways but you seem to insist upon having it both ways.

 

I wanted Bush to be a good or even great President.  Remember, The Uniter?  I accepted the brutal 2000 election. I wanted Trump to be a good President, despite that jolt.  It seems most Republicans do not want Democratic Presidents to succeed for the good of our country. It’s like a football game it would seem. Party over country.  Evidence:  As Obama was taking his first inaugural dance, McConnell and Co. were holding a private meeting and discussing how to undermine Obama rather than help him lift this country.  The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

 

The most important thing to the GOP was to obstruct everything Obama tried in order to prevent the economic free fall we found ourselves in, or any other objective he put forth to help the less fortunate, again, including a jobs bill. Sat on McConnell’s desk for 8 years. 8!  So perhaps that might be why it was hard to get a good job.

 

Whatever you choose to believe, rather than research, is your business.  But I am happy you got a job, no matter who you think is responsible for it. But your job is useless, as is mine, without a planet to live on.  Also insurance through employment only is useless as proven by Covid.  I personally will pay more in taxes to lift all boats. I believe I’ve read somewhere we should help the poor and feeble if we are able.

However, my main point, which you blew right over and moved back to memes and tropes, was the currently upon us peril of global warming. I refuse to continue calling it the deliberately confusing “climate change” brought to us by Republican pollster Frank Luntz.  I hope someday 70M US citizens can move beyond the “Me, me, me and mine” syndrome.”  It solves nothing.  And it will destroy us all.

 

At least, respectfully, learn these 3 lessons and perhaps get beyond Zombie economics:

 

  1. The economy is not the stock market.
  2. The economy is not the stock market.
  3. The economy is not the stock market

 

Ultra wealthy people do not care if you have a job, healthcare, food, shelter, clean air, or water.  Nor do evangelicals that vote for and continue to support Trump.  You are missing the primary obsession with Trump.  It’s a shame you can’t see it.  But 2/3s of the country can.

 

I started my first comment as “Oh no!” Not politics on Chess.com. “Say it ain’t so, Joe.”  And with that, I’ll never respond to another snarky remark regarding politics ever again. First time I landed in a chat room in Chess.com.  Also the last.  Peace out.

As to free speech, Twitter and FB are private companies. They can ban anyone they want.  Same as any store if you refuse to wear a mask. Private company, private property. Most so call conservatives should know that, so why are so many starting all these fights in privately owned companies over wearing a 1 Oz cloth mask over their nose and mouth?  Oh horror of horrors. Snowflake much?  Your rights?  Walk into a restaurant with no shirt or shoes snd see where starting a fight gets you.  The police and jail.  Do you honestly think a private citizen would have gotten away with the nasty things Trump has said for 5 years?  But too little too late on FB and Twitter. The damage is done and most likely irreversible.  But Rush died, and Trump was afraid to have his own radio show while he was alive. Maybe now he’ll do it, so those that linger on his every incoherent word will be in luck. But I’m betting he will choose to golf and hope his children run. You know.  That political, elitist legacy thing you claim to hate.  His prerogative. Still a free country...so far.


One little unknown fact:  people that stutter generally have a much higher IQ than the general public. Even if they can’t overcome it. Imagine those that do overcome it.

Let’s play Chess now.
