He’s actually training under Alvara Negreda—can you believe that? 😁

Joseph Clark37 said:I followed this closely when it first surfaced over the Pacific and then the Atlantic. I watched the interviews with pilots who verified the footage was real and shared their take on what they saw—or rather, what shouldn't have been there. It’s fascinating how this stays mostly under the radar, especially since the Department of Defense doesn't just confirm these things, they actually release official UFO videos. But then again, who knows...
bluebison47 said:Wait, is it the same guy?🙏
restlesssurfer97 said:But honestly, the man clearly never saw a single match of Pistol Pete. ☕

Anyway, the offside crew pretty much takes over the fifth page, and since he was the first one listed, I’m betting he’s actually the one who dropped the link to the offside site in the first place 🤣
For us—as an entire nation—the year 2019 was absolutely pivotal. Why? Well... you're eventually going to have to ask.

I have no idea if it’s still considered required reading.
Wait, were you seriously an altar boy? That certainly explains the intense devotion to the color white.😍

Regarding chess, I learned the moves when I was a kid, mostly playing against teachers, and later on, practically no one on the team cared because they were too busy playing poker.
Since various online services arrived, I often find myself checking my standing; within that retention pool—those random opponents the server assigns you—I tend to hover around a 1700-1750 rating.
I get fully geared up to push past 1800, and then I'll run into some low-rated opponent, lose concentration, and throw the game; it's hard to maintain motivation.
I've been playing more over the last month, and I recently pulled off my biggest chess scalp yet, beating a guy with a 2200 rating quite easily, right against the clock.
I truly played a perfect game; there wasn't a single moment where the tension dropped.
I never watch those chess commentary videos or similar clips; I have a few personal systems I use when opening with white that suit me, and I am perfectly aware of all the weaknesses, as well as with black, where I adapt accordingly. It is total amateurism.
I went to check how much that 2200 guy is actually worth, and I stumbled upon some mention of how guys like Magnus Carlsen target 3000-rated players as if it's a joke, and then they even console them by saying, "bravo guys, you held your own."🤣
If anyone has the willpower to organize some kind of forum tournament on a platform, count me in; I just want to see how bad I really am.😁

🙏 Actually, the realization following a checkmate is often even more potent—that sinking feeling of being in a hopeless position—which usually leads to fifteen minutes of agonizing contemplation, only for you to lose your patience and demand they either make a move or resign. Of course, we weren't playing with a clock.
🤣
Have they finished the work on the creek, or should we aim for September?
Anthony Wright30 said:If my memory serves me right, Inter had that one specific season where they went 2-18-0...
Or perhaps I am merely dreaming? 🤣
Edit: I suppose I wonder why you chose a small town in Maine as your location.🤣
