But the lines are different in different cultures... what is offensive to one culture is benign to another... so the system of tells is arbitrary, and sets up for rapid, streamlined interactions.

    My point is that traditions are (..) about building a society that has an increasing amount to accomplish in each day, and streamlining the interactions of those people on a large scale, for the sake of efficiency.

    Or I'm completely mad... there's always that.
    Not at all, you're only slightly mad. And what you wrote here is all very true.

    @MMM you didn't fix my post, you just expanded on it. In fact I think from your fist sentence you are wrong, it isn't because it's efficient, it's because it's easy.

    Let's get into an argument about how the words efficient and easy can mean basically the same thing but we can define them apart based on very little.

    EDIT - I spoke poker today with two people who are complete fish, not whilst we were playing just two people brought the topic up independently so I thought I'd add my 2c. I've never been dismissed by such bullshit in my life. I got told they'd lost a few grand, so I told them poker is agame of skill not luck so don't expect to win it back. I then got told poker isn't game of skill After explaining it to my mate who isn't an idiot I got told by people "I don't class math as a skill"

    ^^ Don't tap the tank dude. Ever.

    PS: your mate sounds like he's too immature to admit to being wrong.
  4. #12154
    I didn't explain that very well, it was my mates friend who was the idiot. My mate understood when I explained to him. I also got told that he was playing live and had 4 of a kind Aces and folded on the river because he was certain the guy had a straight flush. It's a shame it was such a fabricated story otherwise I would have at least got to laugh at it.

    Usually I'd have just been like meh, but I thought I'd be a nice person and try and stop the guy burning any more of his money.

    It amazes me how there are groups of people who hand around together who all just chat absolute bollocks. Like not a grain of truth in anything that they say. They just talk at each other, each person trying so desperate to be something they're not.

    I used to play sng's and did pretty well because they're basically solved and I ran well. So I mentioned in the 2p2 sng forum that I had played a guy whose sharkscope had him down 30 grand playing sng's. I didn't mention his name just said that was sad. Then this one poster gets on me about it takes time to learn and 30 grand is not a lot for tuition etc etc. He also said think about how much it costs to buy golf equipment. ???

    I just shut up because he's so wrong it's hard to know where to begin.

    My standard approach for a long time has been to simply state the facts as I know them. Plant a seed, you know. Then let it go. If I really dislike someone though, I won't even bother to do that, but that doesn't happen very often.

    Everybody has their own crap to work through and that can limit what we're capable of understanding.

    So... you think you know what 'random' means, then?

    What is randomness? An apparent lack of order?
    What is order?

    If I had an infinite number of identical RNG's... it would be perfectly random if 1 of them always output the same number. (Not to imply that infinity is a number)


    Whenever I try to explain probability and statistics concepts to people, I always start with the sentence,
    "Let's just assume that 'random' means what you and I think it means, and avoid all the stuff that keeps us from doing math."

    I try to organize shit too much, I think. I'm not sure if I'm over-planning, or just getting ducks in a row.

    I'm not really fond of the waiting game, especially when it comes to being called back about something rather important and life changing, but I gotta do it. Even if it makes me feel like I'm on the edge of an anxiety induced seizure.

    Whenever I get stressed about that stuff I think of all the dorkwads who have houses/cars/jobs/etc. If they can do it you can. Good luck. Modeling gig?

    Abelard: Hi Cote! You're very pretty. Wanna go out?
    Cote: *giggles* Sure what'd you have in mind?
    Abelard: I thought we'd go to Applebee's and take in a movie.
    Cote: Sounds great. It's a date.

    That evening after the movie:

    Cote: *brushes hair back* Well Abe I had a great time tonight.
    Abelard: I know you did baby.
    Cote: So will I see you again?
    Abelard: Sure. Say you want to go back to my place?
    Cote: I dunno. I have to work in the morning.
    Abelard: Don't worry. It'll only take 15 minutes.
    Cote: In that case...

    [Abelard sexes up Cote de Pablo til she passes out from too many orgasms.]

    Next morning:

    Cote: Oh Abe that was the best ever. Could you sex up all my Hollywood friends?
    Abelard: Sure if I'm not too busy grinding 10nl.

    Nope. Not modeling gig, though I was offered a job modeling down in Charlotte last weekend, but I have no way of getting there or back, and I'd have to be social and not awkward.

    Anyway - yeah, uh, it's more under the lines of the dorkwads bit.

    Currently watching Charlie and Lola with a 2 year old because it's too early to actually interact with her.

    Kidney stones are stupid.

    I took a forth of a percocet, and though I am slightly loopy and my limbs feel kind of tingly, I still feel like there is a jagged glass rock moving from the tube that connects my kidney to my bladder.

    Good news is that I've been dealing with this almost bi-monthly since December 2012, bad news is that the pain doesn't get easier to deal with.

    My urologist said there's several small stones hanging out in my kidney, and they're too small to do anything with, so I just have to deal with it.

    P.S. - I'm rare as fuck to take any medication now, unless I feel like my insides are on fire with sharp ass daggers stabbing me and that it makes me feel like I'm going to vomit because it's so much ow - I don't take pain meds. Or if I have a migraine. Oddly enough even though I've been dealing with these stones since December, I've taken 3/4ths of a percocet, because I cut them into fourths, because holy fuck they're strong as fucking fuck since I'm 100lbs and rarely take pain meds.

    From Rodney Dangerfield's wikipedia page: "In 2004, Dangerfield's autobiography, It's Not Easy Bein' Me: A Lifetime of No Respect but Plenty of Sex and Drugs was published. The book's original title was My Love Affair With Marijuana, a reference to his smoking material of choice for 60 years."

  65. #12215
    I was wired til about 5am, got up at 9am in order to talk to a lady about dat adult life shit. I don't like percocet, tbh, but it was either that or fetal position.

    If I was ignorant as I used to be, I would have went to the hospital last night, but I know they'll just be like, "here, lemme light yo' insides up and make you feel like crap, and then i'mma just be all 'kidney stones', send you to your urologist, and give you some more pain meds that you already have!"

    But yeah, uh, I don't take pain meds unless it's literally almost impossible for me to walk/move, and even then I have to be kind of talked into it. I have become less of a pussy. Or just adjusted. Probably just adjusted to the suck that is kidney stones.

    P.S. - I got offered to do a paid painting for a friend and his wife, which is good cause I need to de-stress myself from phone calls, e-mails, and researching adult livin' and how the fuck it's possible

    iono, i just like percocets bc they get me high. only once in my life did i actually feel like i needed a pain med, and funnily enough, all i had then was ibuprofen. funny how that works. :P

    (to be clear i have pretty limited experience with recreational use of pain meds. i'm not a crazy pill poppin fiend. but all experiences to this date have been A+)

    not a fan of opiate-based pain pills. The numbness is kinda nice I guess, but it's not a particularly interesting buzz like weed is, and I could do without the constipation and nausea.
  69. #12219
    i dunno my few experiences have always given me a nice light euphoria, feeling of contentedness and motivation. weed is a more "interesting" buzz, yes, but at the same time it's nice to see what you think about when you're not swamped by anxiety and paralyzed by fear and depression like i was when i did them.
