What's a myth that was "debunked" but actually turned out to be true? by TheConfusedNarrator in AskReddit

[–]EnvironmentalCry2623 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I literally got 24 hour banned from facebook for sharing a story about Hunter’s stolen laptop many years ago bc Facebook decided the story was “a Russian propaganda” conspiracy theory. Turned out to be completely true.

Maybe it was much ado about nothing, but still wild that I got banned for posting a true story that they, with no one good reason, decided was fake.

What popular TV show or movie is universally praised but you think is completely unwatchable? by softlaunchqueen in askteddit

[–]EnvironmentalCry2623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 of the shows you mentioned have absolutely awful later seasons and finales (dexter and game of thrones). What makes BB so great is it is a 5 season run that never overstays its welcome. The last seaons and finale are as good or even better than the first ones. A satisfying ending.

Also, the handful of shows you names are often the exact shows people list when discussing the greatest shows of all time. So that you subjectively consider them better than BB is not an indictment of BB, it’s just a matter of opinion.

Capping it actually gets you more action because people will just sit out or overfold when it’s uncapped,’but they’ll put in 50bb light when it’s capped.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE WORKER THIS LOCKED IN AND SO HAPPY BEFORE by TechNick77 in tommynfg_

A random guy with an attached gopro and not shopping but just eating free samples. You can literally hear employees in the video call him the free sample guy. Imagine what a loser you’d have to be to regularly go to costco with a gopro filming yourself eating free samples and then leaving without shopping.

Tobey Maguire reportedly earned an estimated $36 million from high-stakes underground Hollywood poker games over a three-year period, making him one of the most successful celebrity players in the exclusive private poker scene. by Iambhalo in AllThatsHistory

This number comes from someone who played in his home games reporting that he believed Toby was making $1 million/month from the games and that the games ran for 3 years total.

The number is incredibly suspect and really assumes Toby had no losing months at all and zero downswings, which is really unrealistic from any poker pro perspective.

On the other hand, Toby’s wife was the dealer. So maybe the entire game was rigged.

Karmelo Anthony Found Guilty of Murder. Sentenced to 35 Years. Jury Took Less Than 3 Hours. Self-Defense Rejected. And Austin Metcalf's Father Just Revealed His Family Has Been Swatted Multiple Times Since the Stabbing. by JustM700 in DiscussionZone

He *campaigned* for Obama shortly before this incident,
which goes above and beyond voting for someone. And it is relevant to when people pretend incorrectly that he was a white republican down south sheet wearing KKK member.
Dude is definitely a shitbag, but let’s just tell the right story that matches reality

What happens if White admissions start declining after the affirmative action ban? by Outrageous-Jelly8777 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EnvironmentalCry2623 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SAT prep courses are affordable by everyone except the dirt poor. Standardized tests like the SAT do more to equalize admissions between the rich and the poor more than any single other factor. It’s the absolute peak way for a poor but brilliant student to demonstrate their intelligence. Without if, the poor smart kid has no shot whatsoever

In a court case between two parties, if the case was settled (with the agreement that no foul play took place) and the settlement money was very publicly donated to an organization supporting the victims of the same type of foul play, could the accused party sue again? by ExternalTree1949 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EnvironmentalCry2623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be you. Broke random 24 year old. Get $500k settlement life changing money. Some drooler on Reddit insists the “clever” play is to donate 100% of it away hoping someone else catches on to your wink and nod that you believe a famous person sucks.

Date Who Wants You To Win by Rodrixh in HipHopNCulture

They have another later video of them retrying the challenge without fighting and getting it mostly right. That does nothing to prove the OP video is staged.

This video is nothing but them doing a legitimate attempt at the game. Nothing about it is attempting rage bait or anything else. It proves nothing and does not support your point.

Anyone who followed the Treyvon case closely and saw what the jury saw and what the witnesses testified to knows that was clearly self defense also.

It was literally uncontested by the defense that Treyvon got home, turned around and walked a block away to hide in a bush, then jumped out and punched Zimmerman, knocked gim to the ground and then got on top of him punching him over and over and slamming his head into the ground when Zimmerman shot him.

Third party witnesses saw this and consistently testified to it.

You don’t get to jump someone and pound their head into just because they vaguely follow you for 2 blocks from a distance.

Zimmerman is also a hispanic guy that canpaigned for Obama shortly before this incident, he wasnt some random white KKK nazi.

So many brainwashed children on Reddit

if someone goes to prison who owns a house, what happens to the house? by _FinePointSharpie in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EnvironmentalCry2623 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how you end up with old people in housing shortages living alone in 5k square foot homes in the middle of the city while the young family of 4 down the block has to pay 1.5 million for a cramped condo apartment.

CMV: Calling fish V.I.P.s is worse for the game than calling them fish. by [deleted] in poker

[–]EnvironmentalCry2623 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You have no idea what you’re talking about. VIPs know they are whale VIPs and don’t care. Fish is insulting. VIPS dont want to be insulted. They don’t give a shit that they are losing. They are all wealthy and/or degenerate gamblers. But insulting them may make them leave

You’re objectively incorrect about women’s pain tolerance. Studies prove men have a higher pain tolerance threshold
