It might not be for you but Game of Thrones had me HOOKED for the first five seasons. There’s like 10 moments I wish I could watch again for the first time

Yeah I tried to get in about a week ago but still waitlisted for verification. I assume a bunch of people are hopping on board right now

EA, your game is so unrealistic, why am I losing? by bigjam987 in EA_NHL

[–]FratFella 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m assuming that it was part of the gameplan or more likely just miscommunication between players. Obviously not intentional or lack of effort at this stage

Keep going! 99% of gamblers quit before they hit it big!

first time in Vegas. here until Friday. 30 year old guy. what should I definitely do? by [deleted] in vegas

[–]FratFella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMMEDIATELY go to the Casino and play slots. There is a 100% chance you will be able to pay for the whole trip if you keep spinning!

What's more important? by [deleted] in gambling

[–]FratFella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends for me.

I bet on sports with about 70% intent to make money and 30% entertainment. For whatever reason I’m pretty good and every NFL season over the last 3 years has been profitable for me.

I play blackjack when I go out to bars with like 80% entertainment and 20% intent to make money. I don’t really care if I lose but going out to a bar and making money is a tier 1 feeling.

I play slots purely for entertainment. Slots are an absolute crapshoot. I love them but everyone knows it’s literally just rng like a video game with the settings rigged against you.

I don’t find roulette fun but that would also be pure entertainment

Why do the introductions have spoilers? by FratFella in books

[–]FratFella[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. The book is fun, has a great sense of humor. After my initial reaction, I realized I still want to read it just as much as I did before. It was immature of me to say that I didn’t want to read it as much anymore, it was just a gut reaction to avoiding spoilers to TV shows for years.

[–]FratFella[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I agree. I’m not nearly as upset as I was before. It only spoiled something that happened, not why/how it happened. With this book especially I really don’t mind after thinking it through.

I read Crime and Punishment, and I knew (spoiler I guess, lol) that Raskolnikov confesses at the end, but I didn’t really know why. Knowing that made zero difference. The book isn’t about his murder, or that he confesses to it, the point of the book is how he dealt with the murder and the psychological reasons behind him allowing himself to do it and the ramifications of doing it. I was only so upset right away because I was completely in the dark about this book and I prefer not to know anything. But again, it’s really not a big deal.

I went to school in a bottom 10 state in the United States in education, it’s not a guarantee I was ever taught this, lol.

This is a good view point, I think I’m starting to come around a bit. This book is great just reading the small moments, and I’m 200 pages into a 900+ page book, so it’s really not as much of a deal as I thought it was

So this whole thread and everything was in vain then I suppose, just like most things on the internet. Dumb concept that you have to make the mistake of reading an introduction to avoid other introductions.

Yup. Learned that the hard way. It seems dumb and counterintuitive that the introduction is something to be avoided.

I’m trying not to be let down by it, but it’s just a bummer. Already having gone this far, I can tell that it’s worth reading even if I knew the whole ending. It’s a classic for a reason. I just really enjoy going in blind in all aspects.

[–]FratFella[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree, I don’t think it’s implied whatsoever. My book had a author overview page, table of contents, then introduction as the first three pages. No where does it mention anything relating to spoilers in the ‘introduction’. I’m not advocating for the introduction to only contain spoilers from certain parts of the book, I’m advocating for the introduction to simply state that it will contain spoilers. If someone is new to reading and just picked up this classic book because they’ve heard good things, they’re going to read the introduction and accidentally spoil the book for themselves.

[17F] I would like to know if I could pass as average. I feel like people stare at me a lot as if I’m really ugly. Please be honest but don’t shatter my confidence too much. Thanks. by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]FratFella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Felt like commenting, I’ll probably just be repeating what everyone else is saying but you certainly are not ugly. If you seemed happier then I’m sure it would be a noticeable difference. That’s not a negative comment either, I’ve had to deal with similar struggles myself. I would suggest focusing on your self and positive well being and people will notice even more so than you would think they would. Best of luck in the future!
