“Addictively Frustrating, Emotionally Draining — More Than Just a Chess Site”How many of you have been a piece up, dominating the game, only to throw it all away in a 3-minute endgame blunder because of time pressure or nerves?How many of you have reached 2498, felt one win away from glory, and then — in that single, soul-crushing game — slipped back down to 2250, watching hours of progress vanish in minutes?I’m not reviewing this site based on bugs or features. I’m reviewing the psychological design of it.⸻ What Chess.com really offers: • A sleek interface masking a grind loop, driven by dopamine hits, rating anxiety, and performance addiction. • Bullet and blitz formats engineered to make you play “just one more game” — until your 10-minute break turns into a 3-hour rabbit hole. • Engine post-game analysis that feels less like coaching and more like an AI judge reminding you you’re never good enough.⸻ Real experiences include: • Opponents insulting you in chat. Reporting them sometimes works. Sometimes, it doesn’t. • The app overheating your iPad or laptop mid-game — which in bullet is essentially game over. • Reaching a rating milestone, then spiraling down 200+ points, feeling like you’re not just losing games, you’re losing grip. • Watching your chess enjoyment slowly replaced by obsessive self-comparison, frustration, and burnout.⸻ It’s not just about losing — it’s about how you loseYou lose not because you’re bad, but because the structure is designed to punish perfectionists, reward grind, and hook your brain into thinking you’ll “figure it out next time.”⸻Final verdict:Is Chess.com polished? Yes. Popular? Absolutely.But it’s also a psychologically exhausting ecosystem dressed up as a chess platform. For many of us, it’s not about improvement anymore — it’s about escape, addiction, and chasing a number that never satisfies.⸻⛔ Uninstalled the app. Reclaiming my time, sanity, and love for chess the old-fashioned way.

I started my AT&T service in 2018. At the time it seem like AT&T was doing OK. They bought DIRECTV not too long ago and it seemed like my service was pretty good.My first impression I feel like AT&T has gone downhill pretty significantly not only did my stock go down substantially, but the company is really letting me down, especially within the last year. They made it out like 5G was going to be the next best thing and service would be amazing. I have to say the service is amazing and even when I have 3 to 4 bars of service on multiple occasions, my phone has me down and told me I have connection. I would understand if this were happening at a sporting event or something like that however, I have been around for 30 minutes trying to post this because of the service being so bad and I’m in Concord, North Carolina not even like the big city right now I have 3 bars of 5G+ and I have literally no connection I had to connect to McDonald’s WiFi to post this.

Review of co
Unbelievable behaviour by Amazon Drivers. My most recent complaint was witnessing an Amazon driver (CCTV) looking for my neighbours address. He eventually gave up and to my horror threw the package down the street. Driving up to my home i noticed the package in the street and delivered it myself. Disgusted with this behaviour I reported the incident to Amazon with cctv evidence to no avail. Previously the driver has thrown a package intended for a different neighbour (again supported by cctv) over my fence.

Review of nest
It's awful. The temperature in our house constantly Changes because of nest and I find it so stressful. Once it's gets down below the desired temperature it's blasts the house into a sauna. Then the house becomes freezing again. On off all day. And this causes more energy wastage than simply having the heating on very low all day.
Review of fujitsu
Watching the ITV programme Mr. Bates v The Post Office. Fujitsu should be absolutely ashamed of the treatment of these innocent people - they have humilated them, bankrupted them, caused mental illness, stress, imprisionment & even suicide. The Company should be stopped from trading, bankrupted and forced to pay these unfortunate people millions compensation and a full apology. The CEO should be imprisioned and his family humilated and left homeless. They are the scum of the earth.
Review of flipkart
The delivery boy is giving lectures instead of delivering the product. The proper and complete address is given they don't try to deliver. If someone is in a meeting they think they own them. I called him back...But instead of talking to deliver the item, he gave me lectures like a stupid.

Review of musescore
In the past I have found Musescore to be unreliable at best. Recently I tried again to pay for the Musescore Pro membership, only to be met with chronic glitches and fraudulent-looking charges. I browsed a few scores but only was able to successfully playback one of them, even though they were all ‘un-official’ scores. The free trial period is advertised as cancel anytime, but downloading a single score will end it. They also do not draw attention to the download limit of one score per day on the free trial period, which is a bit low. During the free trial period I was called multiple times by my bank because Musescore.com had attempted a $0.00 charge. I was ultimately able to download only the one score on the first day of the ‘free trial.’ Musescore.com has long had serious problems with their payment methods, ever since they eliminated the ability to freely download scores (understandable) in favor of the paid membership tier. Now, half a decade later, Musescore has not made their new model workable. Though they have combined Musescore.com and Musescore.org into one website (before they would pass on ALL questions about the suspicious behavior of Musescore.com by saying that their question site was a part of Musescore.org, for software questions alone, while Musescore.com had no Q&A page), made payment necessary (a solid step), and changed the look, it has been over six years since I could reliably download scores from them. I find it perplexing how a ‘company’ with such good writing software has such a dysfunctional online website. If it works for you, reader, great, but here’s my message to those in charge: Get it together or become irrelevant.
Review of jotform
Jotform has always been very responsive and quickly providing solutions to the issues I have raised. Excellent customer experience . Have used the platform to set up all my online phd experiments and many participants commented on how easy navigating jotform was.
Review of dropbox
I would warn off anyone wanting to use Dropbox. I wish I'd checked reviews before downloading. It has taken over my documents folder. (I had only wanted and extra safeguard to save docs) I have closed my account but cannot uninstall Dropbox as I will no longer have a documents folder to save files in and files that are there will be lost. I also noted that it had taken over my photos folder but as hadn't ticked for these to be saved I still have the folder with photos altho Windows app no longer shows previous pictures. This must be illegal,

Rafaellos southendLovely meal I had with my son at this nice tranquil restaurant with great attentive service. The owner was friendly and engaging and was Victoria. Recommend affordable prices and delicious food recommended for families and friends. Seafood pasta dish I had was Devine! And my son got a delicious complementary dessert which was a beautiful homemade cake. Thank you for your service.
