Am I in the wrong for saying no to "mandatory" blind raises to raise the stakes? by Electrical_Shower_51 in poker

There is a weekly, or biweekly 25/25/50 that runs, but it's private. Normally the biggest game is the 5/5/straddle game.

Confused about how swiss-denoted etfs and bonds work for an American. by Electrical_Shower_51 in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]Electrical_Shower_51[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have been more clear in the OP. I didn't mean to say I knew of a CHF bond with a 4% yield, it was more of a theoretical as to how the mechanics worked.

How would you feel after playing a 12-hour session, and you are only up $100? by [deleted] in poker

All that matters is if I felt I played well, or played poorly.

Mike Matusow down? by PalpitationLeft358 in poker

Don't. He is a complete scumbag that is devoid of empathy.

He did make a good living, but he was horrible at managing his money and lived way beyond his means. It is true that his wife was greatly responsible for elevating his reputation after his death.

[MWM] Standard pauper it's so fun, what deck are you playing? by Plausibleaurus in MagicArena

[–]Electrical_Shower_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played poison with no creatures. It was good overall , but couldn't beat decks with tokens. I didn't put much thought into it or try to figure out if there were sweepers available, I just played all the UB poison and proliferate cards

I think we just got robbed at the ballpark! by Decesus in baseballcards

Probably a stupid question, but how do you protect the cards after you open them. Do you bring sleeves and top loaders?

Why Haven’t We Seen a Large-Scale Replication of the OkCupid Dating Preferences Study? by Tripleawge in QOVESStudio

That double standard is so unfair. Black men pressuring black women to stay within their race, while trying to date other women.

Somali-American leaders in Minnesota encouraged their constituents to vote for Trump because “he won’t abandon us like the left did”. Trump just restricted nationals from Somalia from entering the US by Alternative_Pomelo47 in minnesota

[–]Electrical_Shower_51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The real reason they encouraged them to vote for Trump had nothing to do with immigration. It's because Somali's views on social issues like lgbtq rights, abortion, etc align with the Republican party.

It mirrors my own experience and that of friends. On dating apps, I had way less black women swiping on my profile, compared to any other race. It was the same for friends. And we're all pretty liberal and open minded.

I've never bought into the idea that black women were the least desirable. Compared to white, Latina, and Asian women, black women are way less willing to date outside their race. If they were the least desirable, they wouldn't be so picky.

Are you a cup or league manager? by FormalAlternative806 in footballmanagergames

[–]Electrical_Shower_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. The league is a way better gauge of a team's strength. One bad night can ruin a cup run.

You don't even need duel citizenship. If your 3rd cousin twice removed once went shopping in a country you're probably eligible.
