  • There are very different kinds of “smartness”. The currently favored (by most modern societies) kind weighs logical and structured thinking very heavily, that doesnt mean someone “isnt smart” if they dont possess those qualities. Also, chess does not even rely on the commonly referred to “smartness” that much. The most important aspects are long term memory ( for remembering situations from games and acting accordingly)and thousands of hours of practice.

    It just shows what the focus lies on. A post full of comments recommending adblockers has far more impact than a single comment making the post seem dead.

    Youre technically right that it is unoriginal, but I dont see how originality would matter at all in this case.

    This is a post about unnecessary rage that absolutely noone has to deal with because everyone should use ad blockers. OP may or may not know, but the post suggests the later. I dont see how it is ‘unoriginal’ to comment about ad blockersin that case…






  • Im doing pretty well. Living in Germany, educated parents. Did okay in school, never studied much though. Went to university, got my Masters in Mathematics (needed to study a lot for that, but its my passion anyway). Started working at an IT company in the same city.

    3 years later, I have around 50k in savings now. We live in a small apartment, are in the middle of buying a house.

    Capitalism is really fckd up, especially in the US. I try not to take advantage of it too much, up my monthly donations with every raise, vote left-ish, dont support big corporations.

    I think the biggest factor for success is luck for being born under the right circumstances. Thats like 99%, the rest is having some self control.
