Are the people with streaks in the 100s actually finishing every puzzle unassisted?

For what it’s worth, I don’t care at all if someone is googling answers to keep their gold streak alive. It has no impact on me and I’m happy they’re enjoying the hobby.

I’m curious though, are these people really NEVER stumped by a cross requiring two pieces of trivia that they have no way of knowing? Or have they just gotten so good that they’re able to work it out no matter what?

It seems inconceivable to me that these folks can go years without getting screwed over even once by bad cluing or an incomprehensible theme.

My ex dumped me in a pretty traumatic way almost 2 years ago now. She wasn’t cruel or disloyal, but she was thoughtless in the way she went about it. She was my first and only serious, long-term girlfriend and we had even been living together up to that point.

After the breakup, she continued to reach out occasionally, often intimating that she missed me but wasn’t “ready” to come back yet. This kept me on the hook and made it hard to heal for a long time.

Just recently, she reached out and explained that she missed me, that she thought about me every day, and that she wanted to know if it was too late. I told her that I needed time to think about it and that we should talk, because I needed to get a bunch of stuff off my chest before I could even consider the prospect.

Now that we’ve been hanging out a bit again, I worry that, despite the fact that there are still feelings there, we’re not compatible. I don’t begrudge her any of what happened when we were breaking up, but when I look at her, my heart doesn’t speed up the way that it used to. I might even still love her, and I definitely don’t want to hurt her, but I don’t know that I want to try. And it hurts all the more because it’s clear that she wants it so bad and so badly regrets what happened.

This girl is gorgeous, exceedingly kind, and an artist, which I find admirable. But we are now incompatible in so many ways too. We don’t have many common interests and theres just no heat between us.

I’ve been seeing a girl casually who has started to imply that she wants to take things to the next level. She’s also very pretty, she’s very smart, and the physical connection is unreal. I haven’t made a choice yet, but I’m leaning in the direction of making things work with her. (For the record, both of these women know about each other and I’m not lying to either one about my seeing them at the same time).

I just don’t know what to do. I was hoping that someone from this sub may be able to contribute some advice or stories of their own. I can’t believe that I’m thinking about rejecting my dream girl but I just don’t know what to do.

Ishiura was my favorite wrestler when he was active. I thought his style was consistently entertaining. He was on the small side but made up for it with his build, aggression, and strong repertoire of throws.

Is there anyone with a similar style in the top division currently?
