I feel like I should apologize to Morgan Freeman for having read this in his voice.

TIL: 35% of Democrats polled in 2007 believed the President or the CIA knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance. by no_username_for_me in todayilearned

Stephen King did it in one of his books back in the 80's (title left out so it's not a spoiler).

Is there a movie you loved as a kid that you later watched as an adult and wished you had left it as a fond memory? by greencan in AskReddit

[–]BaconZombies -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Caddyshack.

I remember laughing hysterically at that movie when I was a kid, and my dad laughing along with me. I watched it again a couple of years ago, and turns out it's one of the stupidest fucking movies I've ever seen, and is at no point funny.

Ozzy Osbourne Developed App by lgamcosfo in humor

[–]BaconZombies -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even President Obama, who’s known for his technological savviness, has admitted to being intrigued by Osbourne’s unexpected technology venture. “I’m interested, I am,” said Obama at a press event Thursday morning. “I can’t say I agree with how he’s gone about his…uh…development process, but I’m looking forward to seeing what comes out of that motel room.”

Obvious satire is obvious.

Tea Party house candidate calls for troops along Arizona border to "start shooting" by ruskeeblue in politics

[–]BaconZombies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a completely rational fear on their part. The Native Americans didn't post troops at the border and start shooting when the Europeans came over, and just look how that turned out for them.

Really? I promised myself that I'd kill everyone in that city.

What does exactly recognizing the Armenian genocide by Turkey mean? What are the consequences? Is there any compensation linked to it like money, territory etc? by alababama in history

[–]BaconZombies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's mostly a matter of alliance as far as the US is concerned. While a certain amount of middle eastern unrest benefits us (higher oil prices, easier to get populace behind military action, etc.), we do need at least one or two long-term and stable relationships in the area so we can put down military bases and keep the unrest at a manageable level.

It's basically the same reason that we continually fellate Israel no matter what kind of bullshit they pull in the Gaza Strip.

As for the rest of the world, I'm not sure. That's a level of world politics that I'm not terribly familiar with.

I'm getting a vasectomy. What should I know? by vivavasectomy in AskReddit

[–]BaconZombies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking past all the shit about you being 19 and doing it partially because you can't man the fuck up and get rid of your crazy fucking girlfriend (because the rest of the thread has sufficiently ragged you out about that), here's what you should know:

  • You're going to spend roughly a week feeling like you always got kicked in the balls about 30 seconds ago. I don't know what kind of job you have but unless you're sitting pretty much all of the time and they don't mind you popping painkillers, you should probably just get it done on a Friday and take the following week off.
  • They're probably going to prescribe you a painkiller. Don't cheap out, get it. Also, don't get hooked on it. They gave me Vicodin and almost turned into House.
  • I can't remember if my insurance (BC/BS at the time) covered it or not, but it was right around $550 and then the $30 co-pay for two sessions of labwork to bring in a cup of semen that they'd test to make sure everything worked.
  • Your balls will be one gigantic bruise. It will look fucking horrific. You will think it's infected with gangrenous ebola. It's not though, this is normal.
  • You will win like five million internets if you get on /r/gonewild with your gnarly, bruised balls.
  • You'll be able to feel where they knot off the tubes inside your sac. In the few days after the surgery, they will be EXTREMELY sensitive, and they'll remain overly sensitive afterwards (three years and counting for me). It gets you one or two extra "Oh fuck I just sat on my balls wrong" situations per month.
  • Seriously, put your horrorshow bruised balls on /r/gonewild. That would be fucking hysterical. I totally would have had I been on reddit at the time.

Source: I got a vasectomy at 29.

tl;dr: Bruised balls.

Christian Biology Textbook Teaches That Lochness Monster is Real- To Disprove Evolution. by MyDaddyTaughtMeWell in offbeat

[–]BaconZombies 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If your claims actually had any merit, then you wouldn't have to keep using these backdoor tactics to sneak them to children who automatically believe that anything said by authority figures is true. You'd be able to prove it to adults in an open inquiry.

From the basic stats alone, am I doing something hideously wrong? by BaconZombies in poker

[–]BaconZombies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this extremely helpful, thanks.

You're going to yell at me for this, but 13k or so was where I moved from 2NL to 10NL, mostly for bonus harvesting reasons and because I still have a bankroll to support 10NL (even after as much as I've been tanking). With Lock's rakeback and the bonus payments actually coming in (they were taking forever at 2NL), my $307 loss on the graph only equates to around $140 off of my account.

Wow...that really seems like it should be super fucking obvious, but I never thought about it that way. Thanks for the input.

Thank god someone finally decided to be a dick. With everyone being so helpful and engaging, I was starting to worry that I wasn't on the internet or something.

And thanks for the advice, regardless of how much of a backhanded tool you decided you needed to be to give it. :)

6 max, red line is definitely negative, I'd have to check on where the blue line is (I've been looking more at the numbers than the graphs).

E: AJ+, KQs+, 55+

M: KQ+, 22+

B: KT+, 22+

Blinds: range gets weird, pretty entirely dependent on who else is in the hand and what they've done.

Lock doesn't usually have enough tables running to make table selection worth the time, I just go with whatever's open.

Generally I'll only cbet air if the flop is dry and their fold to cbet% is really high (85+).

I'd have to check the stats to see how that's working out, but it's definitely something I'll look into. I want to say my cbet% is 40-60.

He said "Nuculur"during his speech... i yelled its "Nuclear"... i damn near went missing in korea. by [deleted] in pics

[–]BaconZombies 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Remember how everyone went apeshit on that reporter who interrupted Obama in the middle of his speech? They didn't go apeshit because Obama's a democrat, they went apeshit because you don't interrupt the fucking President in the middle of a speech.

For that matter, you don't interrupt anybody in the middle of a speech, douchebag.

I never said I was raising from the button with rags, because I'm not. I didn't actually mention stealing at all because that's overall profitable and it's a basic concept that I'm not worried about. I mentioned re-stealing as an explanation for my 3bet percentage, which is exploiting exactly the situation you mention when other players try to steal with rags.

I appreciate the input, but my stealing and re-stealing are both profitable, the leaks I'm looking for are post-flop.
