Wittys Wonderful Words of Wisdom and Advice- Yes, all that and more for FREEEEEE!

Thank you for your question, Sampson. I will give an honest answer.

One can never become good at anything until they have accepted that they are good enough.

Ha! Yes, just felt in the mood for some bogus philosophy, sorry.

In all seriousness, are you alive, playing a game you like? If yes, then 900's is GREAT!

The alternative is to be 6 feet under which would make your chess suck big time.

So enjoy, don't worry about your rating as a goal. Just ENJOY it!

This is a an important question because it allows for the opportunity to remind everyone that while driving in a car: SEAT BELTS SAVES LIVES!

Make sure that the dying person is safely belted into their seats either before setting off to the hospital, or right before you throw cow poop onto the pro Hamas protestor because once you do that, you'll need a lead foot to get the hey hoo out of there before a Hamas supporting protestor tries to decapitate your head with a shovel.

You can do that by eating a well balanced and healthy breakfast, JB.

Try oatmeal, as it will not only open up sources of energy to attack the day, but it will also open up your bowels (likely part of your problem)

That's some deep analy-sis

Dang, was just about to direct mexi here since the bunny practise is gone and realised he closed his account 18 days ago.

Maybe its just a paws and he'll be back?

Dear witty,

How does a community rid itself of unwanted and negative behaviors?

Especially when the "powers that be" are unwilling to listen to the concerns of their members?

this looks like a cult to me

Well, dear TrashPanda, my first go to is to keel with kindness, but pretty sure since that includes the word "keel" that kindness would not be allowed by the "powers that be" and would instead be punishable!

No, the answer, as it most often does, is in making me Absolute Queen of the world. I promise fixing negative behaviors will be my first command. The 2nd-1000th command will be revealed when i receive my beautifully jeweled crown with plenty of emeralds to compliment my green eyes. The 1001st command will not be publically revealed until i get my laser powered nuclear capable sceptre.

Or, the more boring though effective answer is to stage a walk out on chesscom that will need to be at least 30-40% of their paying cash encrusted customers and at least 30% of their nonpaying but ad encrusted customers.

A business' willingness to listen to its consumer base is going to be based on the cost of losing customers compared to the cost of what it will take to keep a certain amount of customers. Chesscom has made that analysis, i suspect, and decided to ignore a lot of legit goings on.

Try to concentrate on those you enjoy and cultivate your own community/forums of fun and interesting people like you do now!

Thank you!

Thank you for your thoughtful response witty. Your wonderful words of wisdom are always appreciated.

Great song! I dont know much about her- loved it thanks for posting it

Due to 7 months of problem free lives no advice needed here at chesscom, it has suddenly occurred to me that this must mean that the world must also be problem free, too!!

HOORAY! I do hope this topic played a role, though extremely small, in helping bring world peace.

However, i'm thinking Samuel L. Jackson and sawdof deserves the bulk of that credit.
