Does Playing Chess Make You Smarter?

Alright, let’s tackle the age-old question: Does playing chess make you smarter? It’s a claim that’s been tossed around more times than a queen on a chessboard, but let’s cut through the hype and get to the heart of the matter.

First off, let’s address the elephant in the room: intelligence isn’t some monolithic thing you can measure with a single number. It’s not like your chess rating goes up and suddenly you’re solving cold fusion or writing Pulitzer-worthy novels. The human brain is far more complex and nuanced than that.

Why Airing Your Relationship’s Dirty Laundry Is a Terrible Idea

Let’s talk about something that can wreck your relationship faster than you can say “TMI” – airing your dirty laundry. You know, that urge to spill every gritty detail of your relationship drama to anyone who’ll listen. Spoiler alert: it’s a bad idea.

“Bestfriend didn’t invite me to his wedding”

wasnt invited to wedding

I (28m) didn’t get invited to my closest friend’s (28m) wedding. I was one of the first people he told about the proposal before it happened. I thought I had a good relationship with his fiance too.

We went on trips together, never had any drama between us and golf together quite a bit. Our friend group has about 5 of us that have all been close friends since middle school. They all were invited except for me. I didn’t get an invite when they sent them out last fall and I thought it was just well understood I would be there.

You Are Not Your Thoughts

you are not your thoughts

Have you ever paused to consider who’s really in charge up there in your head? If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I need to stop thinking so much,” you’ve stumbled upon a profound truth: You are not your thoughts.

Imagine your mind as a bustling theater. Thoughts are the actors on stage, constantly entering and exiting, playing out various scenes. But who’s watching the play? That’s you – the silent observer, the consciousness behind the mental chatter.

This realization is both simple and revolutionary: If you can observe your thoughts, you can’t be those thoughts. You’re the watcher, not the watched.

“My boyfriend refuses to get a job”

boyfriend_wont_get_a_jiob

I (21F) have been with my partner (22M) for 4 years now. He graduated high school 4 years ago, and hasn’t had a single job since (besides one summer job). Doesn’t want to go to college either.

The first two years of our relationship he was streaming, which I was fine with for a bit. Then, no progress was showing and I asked him to get a job on the side, and he could still stream. Nothing. Next two years to now were focused on starting a business he didn’t want. Again, after a few months, no progress was showing, so I asked him to get a job on the side. Nope!
