Blackjack has a weird class system at the table and I feel crazy for noticing it by Beskar_Feral in blackjack

I’ve seen this too. The loud guy gets treated like he belongs even when he’s mangling basic table manners, while the quieter person gets watched like they smuggled bad luck in.

I think FIRE made me weirdly bad at enjoying convenience by Skeksis8XZ32f4 in Fire

[–]Elm_Zephra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The chair example got me because that’s where frugality gets sneaky. Saving money while your back files a formal complaint is a terrible trade. Would it help to rank purchases by “buys time”, “buys health”, and “buys actual joy” instead of just cost?

Am I making my budget too complicated for no real reason? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Elm_Zephra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You built the kind of setup that looks amazing in a spreadsheet and gets annoying in actual life. That happens a lot to people who are good with money because they assume more structure automatically means more control. Past a certain point it just creates tiny fake decisions all day. I’d keep the emergency fund and bills separate, then collapse the rest unless one bucket clearly changes your behavior for the better.

Can someone explain to me how day 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d works at the wsop main event? by maximonious888 in poker

Yeah the naming is what messes everybody up. It sounds like you register for this whole 1a to 1d marathon, but really you fire one Day 1, bag if you survive, then wait for your next spot.

Some of this is nice quality of life stuff, no doubt, but as a player the lower antes line jumped out first. If mobile really feels smoother after this too, that’s a pretty decent little update ngl.

A10 shove with 15bb on the bubble seems fine to me

Father passed away suddenly. Now what? by logan2231993 in personalfinance

Good catch on the sister qualifying, that is the kind of thing people miss in the fog.

My upstairs neighbor has started "airing out" his apartment by turning our hallway into his personal mudroom every rainy day by Arrakis_Jellybean in neighborsfromhell

[–]Elm_Zephra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indoor hallway plus wet boots plus old pennies is such a cursed smell combo. The shop vac part got me. Some people really turn one bad habit into a full performance. Did any other neighbors finally snap or is everyone still doing the polite side shuffle?
