[toxic hollow]

[eternal lantern]

no one joined my link

[toxic hollow]

i shall join

send again

lets play @eternal lantern

[mellow wedge]

yep

bughouse everyone

[eternal lantern]

it's the same link

it's a casual link, can join anon

no need for an account

[mellow wedge]

ur not on .com?

[eternal lantern]

Idk, I don't like playing on chess.com

feels like typical bad code

[mellow wedge]

[toxic hollow]

ur 1634 💀

[eternal lantern]

I haven't played in a while

[toxic hollow]

i must resign

[eternal lantern]

I used to be like 2k lmao

[toxic hollow]

okay wtf 😭

[eternal lantern]

but the crazy thing is

I have this friend who started like 5 years ago

and he is 2300

[toxic hollow]

damn

2300

[eternal lantern]

in just 5 years

that is insane

[toxic hollow]

5 years of continuos practice everyday?

[eternal lantern]

idk about that

it's not like he is serious about chess

he is a casual guy

[toxic hollow]

not serious and 2300 😭

[mellow wedge]

in li?

[toxic hollow]

yeah

[mellow wedge]

it's like 1800ish in .com

[toxic hollow]

how

[eternal lantern]

I dont' think the difference is that big though

[mellow wedge]

in li it's easier

[eternal lantern]

I don't think that is necessarily true, he beat a NM who is rated 2300 on lichess

[mellow wedge]

it is bro

[toxic hollow]

why are we undermining a 2300 😭

[eternal lantern]

NMs are way higher than 1800

[toxic hollow]

thats great in itself

[eternal lantern]

because I am 1600 on chess.com at my peak

and like 2k lichess on my peak

[mellow wedge]

same

[mellow wedge]

yea see the diff

[toxic hollow]

how is lichess easier tho

[mellow wedge]

this guy's 2800 something in li

[mellow wedge]

player base probably

[eternal lantern]

why is a 17 year old up so late

[toxic hollow]

is the 17yo in the room w us

[mellow wedge]

[eternal lantern]

what is your chess.com rating?

[toxic hollow]

i just hung my queen

[toxic hollow]

whose?

[eternal lantern]

yours

I can play odds to make it fair

[toxic hollow]

1450 smth

[eternal lantern]

it is usually more fun

oh

so you are pretty good then

[toxic hollow]

no

[eternal lantern]

we are like the same-ish

[toxic hollow]

i just hung my queen

[eternal lantern]

yeah, that is normal

[mellow wedge]

the thing is she started out in 3-4 months itseems

[eternal lantern]

yeah, that is possible

I think you can become good pretty fast tbh

most people are just retarded at how they improve

I think you can go up to 2k on lichess fairly fast, like 1 year max

[mellow wedge]

umm maybe.. then the learning curve gets saturated

[eternal lantern]

I disagree

it's like learning anything else or going to the gym

there will be retards who go to the gym every day for 3 years and still be weaker than the guy who started 3 months ago kg for kg because their approach is dumb

[toxic hollow]

whats the correct approach then

[eternal lantern]

I think spending more time is fundamental

thinking about how to improve as well as actually implementing that

because it is different in different stages

[toxic hollow]

i see

[eternal lantern]

like I think about the gym analogy because when I was learning oly lifting, there are different things to do at each stage to make sure progress doesn't stagnate

like early on you practice your endgames

then maybe you do puzzles to hone middlegame tactics

then you finally learn the openings

[mellow wedge]

[eternal lantern]

and in the meantime you optimize game schedules to play enough but not too many

but I am not sure about chess

[toxic hollow]

oh, i thought u learn/memorise the openings in the start

[eternal lantern]

because I am not very good

I think you can learn openings very late

like I don't really know any openings by the book after 4 moves

but I am decent enough at this game to play

my endgames are fairly good though, and my middlegame is ok

[toxic hollow]

damn

[eternal lantern]

but eh, take my advice with a grain of salt

[mellow wedge]

ig most ppl struggle in the mid game

[eternal lantern]

chess is not something I am good at

but I do think I am good at learning new things

[toxic hollow]

blantant cap

[eternal lantern]

and this was my gut impression back when I did spend some time on chess when I was a kid

[toxic hollow]

whats ur age, if u dont mind me asking

[eternal lantern]

I have only maintained my level at 15 years old till now

yeah, I am old and married

[mellow wedge]

wdyd

[eternal lantern]

my wife has gone to sleep and I am playing chess with strangers on the internet

I am unemployed

life is finally good

[mellow wedge]

fr?

[eternal lantern]

yes

[toxic hollow]

yayyy same

[eternal lantern]

you are 17 omg

[toxic hollow]

wait what

[eternal lantern]

you are a kid

[toxic hollow]

are u being fr?

[eternal lantern]

didn't you say you are 17 somewhere in the chat?

[toxic hollow]

yeah

[mellow wedge]

so ur wife is the one who runs the house?

[eternal lantern]

there are not a lot of employed 17 year olds

there are no coal mines anymore

no, my wife cooks and cleans the house

I run the house

[mellow wedge]

wbm i'm almost 20 🤡

[toxic hollow]

u in clg?

[eternal lantern]

alright let's play something fun

https://lichess.org/iZ6ONdHA

[mellow wedge]

technically yes

[eternal lantern]

college was so long ago 🚬

a decade ago

[toxic hollow]

technically?

[mellow wedge]

i smell a gambler from light years away

[eternal lantern]

yes

[mellow wedge]

i mean i am in college but i'm not

[eternal lantern]

I am surprised you could guess that lmao

[toxic hollow]

aint no way bro

u gamble?

on what, stake?

[mellow wedge]

🤡 cuz i am one

[eternal lantern]

I used to be a poker player

no, in person, in dallas

[toxic hollow]

wow ok

[eternal lantern]

long ago

before I got married

[mellow wedge]

now?

[toxic hollow]

dont let marriage ruin ur passion

[eternal lantern]

now I shitpost on the internet

[toxic hollow]

whyd stop

[eternal lantern]

have sex with my wife

and eat nice food

it is a good life

[toxic hollow]

i think thats a fair trade

[mellow wedge]

gen wealth?

[eternal lantern]

no

[mellow wedge]

how tf r u living my dreams then

[eternal lantern]

can play a rematch as white if you'd like

[toxic hollow]

this is so tough

[eternal lantern]

it is fun though

[toxic hollow]

yes it is

[eternal lantern]

wow, but 17

that is crazy, kids on the internet

when I was 17 🚬

[mellow wedge]

bruv answer me u r my idol i jus want ur lyf 😭

les swap shall we?

[eternal lantern]

man, you are 21

what I wouldn't give to be 21 again

[toxic hollow]

does it suck being old

[eternal lantern]

no

I haven't peaked yet, I don't look back and think, ah school was nice, college was nice

or work was nice

now is nice

but I am sure the best times are ahead

[toxic hollow]

unc with some deep stuff

[eternal lantern]

haha

[mellow wedge]

tf do u do to survive now

[eternal lantern]

idk, I think life is dictated by a person's wants and not by how much they have

I live a fairly modest lifestyle now

[toxic hollow]

are u 100 years old by any chance

this much wisdom from where

[eternal lantern]

you gain wisdom when unemployed because not much else to do

[mellow wedge]

ok you're bio says btc u must be one of them from 2014

[eternal lantern]

I don't watch movies, don't have social media

na, I was still young in 2014

[mellow wedge]

this hella true

[eternal lantern]

you just spend so much time thinking

and I think that is overall good and leads to better outcomes

[toxic hollow]

a person who thinks all the time

[eternal lantern]

true

I may get another job to give some false job illusion though

I used to have one of those

like my in laws ask, hey what are you up to

in their eyes I am too young to be jobless

my parents give zero fucks though

[toxic hollow]

how does the house run if neither of u earn

[mellow wedge]

either u've hit something big n decided to cashout or idk u sell maal 💀

[eternal lantern]

even in India, being jobless is not that complex, like some guy at big tech here makes like 30lpa, after tax maybe 24? that is 2/m and expenses can be covered in like 0.5

that means working for 1 year is enough to not work for the next 3 years

[toxic hollow]

holy shit

wait

[eternal lantern]

and this is with minimal investment and likely just bonds

[toxic hollow]

thats lowk cook

damn i never thought of it that way

[eternal lantern]

that is me but the numbers are much larger

[mellow wedge]

my greedy mind wldnt comply

[eternal lantern]

and my burn rate is non existent

yeah, I used to dream of private jets and ferraris too

but now I dream of small huts in the middle of nowhere

it's amazing how life changes

[mellow wedge]

nah nah thts something a 7 yr old wld do

[eternal lantern]

I think for me the moment happened when I actually was looking at buying a ferrari

[mellow wedge]

jus freedom w stability

[eternal lantern]

and I thought to myself, what does this even accomplish

what do I gain from this

is my life even becoming better

[mellow wedge]

big brain moment

[eternal lantern]

yeah, so now I don't spend much and think about how to reduce my desires

[mellow wedge]

y u being so cryptic ffs spill the beans brooo

[eternal lantern]

we can play a game of chess

we could also play a game of poker instead

[mellow wedge]

aight

[eternal lantern]

are you any good?

[mellow wedge]

mediocre

[eternal lantern]

good enough then

we can play 50bb instead of 25 then

I play 25bb with my wife so that she has a chance

I play 200+bb with my brother to crush his soul

https://www.pokernow.club/games/pgljrx8JQq0K3nCSdY4XkHmpf

[toxic hollow]

all ive heard is texas hold em

[eternal lantern]

@mellow wedge

you're welcome to join too

game will probably go for a while with 50bb though

[mellow wedge]

2 mins imma be back

nature's call

@toxic hollow u coming or wot?

[eternal lantern]

probably not

but can join later if they want

[toxic hollow]

i unfortunately dont know how to play

[eternal lantern]

nice win

[mellow wedge]

ggs

[eternal lantern]

you are pretty good

[toxic hollow]

who won

[eternal lantern]

he won

[toxic hollow]

isnt poker all luck?

[eternal lantern]

isn't life all luck 🚬

the parents were are born too

the genetics we have

I think that is loser mentality though

[mellow wedge]

life is a gamble

[eternal lantern]

winner mentality is focusing on the things we do control

want to play again?

[mellow wedge]

ofc

blunt bluff

[eternal lantern]

but you called me with an A high lmao

I had an A high too

there was still a chance we would chop lmao

that was good

good call there

hard to call the turn

[mellow wedge]

yea

[eternal lantern]

oops

forgot to r 7

[mellow wedge]

squeezed

[eternal lantern]

gg

pretty good for a kid lmao

[mellow wedge]

4-5 plyrs wld be fun

[mellow wedge]

wrong one

[eternal lantern]

idk, you are a kid too

[mellow wedge]

wish i was

i'm in the wrong gen 😭

[eternal lantern]

yeah, real

[mellow wedge]

should've been +/- 10

[mellow wedge]

how was ur 20s

[eternal lantern]

amazing

[mellow wedge]

why does it suck for me

[eternal lantern]

I was a fucking hoe though

and I regret that part

[mellow wedge]

my virgin ass afraid to even interact

[eternal lantern]

should have spent more time in the gym instead

[eternal lantern]

lmao

my highschool ex got married before me

[mellow wedge]

coin of life ah moment

[eternal lantern]

life do be like that huh

[mellow wedge]

life on easy mode for girls

[eternal lantern]

idts

I think it is so much easier for men

you will understand as you get older

the women will also understand as they get older lmao

[mellow wedge]

it's 2025

[eternal lantern]

it is practically impossible for a woman over 25 to find a decent guy unless she is supermodel tier

[mellow wedge]

srsly?

[eternal lantern]

yes

so one of my bosses long ago was rich guy, rd jr's neighbor in malibu, net worth 200m+

he is 46, and obviously looks mid 30s

his wife is 30

he already has two kids with his wife

I think the kid is like 5 or something

and he got married like 7 years ago

this is an extreme example

[mellow wedge]

unless u r rich life sucks as a man innit..? or is it we've all got it wrong

[eternal lantern]

but it shows the trendline very well

you will never find the opposite because it does not exist

as wealth accumulates with age, it is almost never an issue for a man who is fit and reasonably wealthy, even 1m+

this not true at all for the average woman

[mellow wedge]

true tht

[eternal lantern]

I have heard from my single friends in their 30s (who are guys) that it is so much easier

meanwhile my single friends who are women say it is impossible

[mellow wedge]

lol

[eternal lantern]

reality hits people hard in their 30s

the effect of wasted 20s is most apparent in their 30s

this is like a big part of why alimony exists

and makes sense

[mellow wedge]

but till that point of time they be really juicing out life

[eternal lantern]

because the guy knows he can fuck up in his 30s/40s and still get married again

that is way harder for a woman

[mellow wedge]

yeah i agree

[eternal lantern]

this is true tbh, and there is no getting around it

[mellow wedge]

insightful

[mellow wedge]

does sex get boring too after coupla times?

[eternal lantern]

hmmm, good question

maybe

I'm not sure

because wife and I have sex daily

she is happy to have more, but I think once enough for me

unfortunate, but true

like that is why she is asleep and I am awake

[mellow wedge]

that sums up

[mellow wedge]

so maybe it's based on the individual eh

[eternal lantern]

yeah idk

I had a crazy ex that didn't want to do more than once

but then the scumbag cheated

[mellow wedge]

ever shared those memories with ur wife?

[eternal lantern]

hmm

I answer honestly when wife asks

but she is not a cuck

no one wants details

[mellow wedge]

lol

[eternal lantern]

I prefer not to say anything

so unless wife asks I don't say much

[mellow wedge]

🇼

Dozing off catch u up tmrow @eternal lantern good time

[eternal lantern]

good night kid

[mellow wedge]

Gn señor 🤡

[spice marlin]

Speaking of college, I cleared JEE a long time ago

[untold schooner]

I agree 🫡

[untold schooner]

Respect for that

[toxic hollow]

damn

[untold schooner]

Uhh Okay

[toxic hollow]

[mellow wedge]

[untold schooner]

I mean as far as I'm aware that inhaler is used for like people who got breathing problems right ? Or did I get something wrong?

[spice marlin]

Got BioTech and some other non-mainstream courses in some IITs..But chose BTech Instrumentation Engg at NIT Trichy

[untold schooner]

Ooooo

[spice marlin]

I don't remember lol..Good enough to get NITT

[untold schooner]

NITs are good

[mellow wedge]

mainly yes but its kinda druggy for normal users

[untold schooner]

Ohhhh Is that so 👀

Interesting.....gotta research on that then ehm ehm

[spice marlin]

NIT Trichy usually places 6th or 7th in overall college ranking..Only below IITs

[mellow wedge]

damn wdyd now

[untold schooner]

Ooo that's pretty cool

[mellow wedge]

[spice marlin]

I'm an Instrumentation Engineer now lol

[mellow wedge]

impressive.. first time an engineer becoming an engineer

[spice marlin]

Ikr! Only 9 or 10 people out of 100 in my batch became actual instru engineers..Most of the others went to software or MBA

[untold schooner]

Yup that's how it is tbh

[mellow wedge]

wt's ur job basically?

[untold schooner]

I mean I'm doing electronics engineering but I honestly lost interest in it and now I'm going to pursue MBA and change it to finance

What a sad life

[mellow wedge]

like wdyd daily

[mellow wedge]

why

there's good enough demand for ece now no

[untold schooner]

Yeah I'm aware

[spice marlin]

I'm in an oil and gas company. We have rigs all over the world. I have a specific site assigned to me and I monitor it from Blr to ensure that it's running properly. That's my work in a nutshell

[untold schooner]

But the interest in me is gone so like I don't wanna do something which I just don't ljke

But if I talk about finance or business the whole thing intrigues me alot and I love to read and know more and more so yeaaa

[mellow wedge]

how tf do u monitor it frm blr

[spice marlin]

ECE and EEE are always screwed. To get into a good company bachelors is not enough. They always look for masters specialised in a specific subject

[mellow wedge]

ah right

[untold schooner]

Exactly

[spice marlin]

It's not like CCTV monitoring😂 We have process parameters and graphs

[untold schooner]

Like most of my batchmates are preparing straight for it jobs

[mellow wedge]

umm ok

[untold schooner]

Ig 1-2 people are gonna actually opt for something in electronics tbh...

[mellow wedge]

ik but u have to be physically present no

[spice marlin]

We'll inform the person at site regarding things and they'll take action as needed

[mellow wedge]

there r new semiconductor startups coming up lookin for mainly ece studs

[mellow wedge]

as far as ik

[untold schooner]

I'm aware of that but the thing is the whole ece thing is so complicated that majority of the people take the easy way out.

[mellow wedge]

damn such a peaceful remote job u've got mate

wt's the pay

*how's

[mellow wedge]

[spice marlin]

Nah..Things can get messy. So many complications with timings and workload management. Site will never listen to what we say and it'll make me look inefficient 😂

[spice marlin]

I'm in ExxonMobil which pays comparatively higher than the other core companies

[mellow wedge]

ah shii

[spice marlin]

As a fresher, I got 10 LPA

Less compared to a software company..But it's good for core xD

[mellow wedge]

bruh thts pretty good

are there off campus placements for core?

[spice marlin]

My software friends were getting 20LPA on the get go lol

[spice marlin]

Very difficult. They'll always expect minimum 3 yrs experience off-campus

[mellow wedge]

NIT.. understandable

[mellow wedge]

thts fucked up

[spice marlin]

That's how this industry is🥲

[mellow wedge]

which ocean site r u working on rn

[spice marlin]

I'm with a site on-ground now😂 It's in Wyoming, US

[mellow wedge]
