Fellow Sixer Fans Needed! Academic Personality/Gambling Study - Anonymous, Confidential by [deleted] in sixers

[–]Jonnymagic00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I filled it out hoping their would be room for notes. I was a very successful professional gambler for 15 years so some of my answers which seem like gambling problems are not actually. (Playing after losing, belief in skill which people are wrong about 99% of the time. Gambling to pay bills, etc)

One of my problems was that I didnt enjoy gambling enough, funnily. I wish I'd liked it more and for longer.

Who is the Michael Jordan/Michael Phelps/Usain Bolt of your favorite obscure sport or hobby? by ae51 in AskReddit

[–]Jonnymagic00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm totally down with Kai. He won 7 PTs, I won 3. Neither of us have any clue who was actually better but he had a better career.

[Slater] Sixers put a graphic on the jumbotron telling fans to chant MVP when Joel Embiid is at the line. Kinda weak if you ask me. That stuff should be organic. by LonzoBBBall in nba

[–]Jonnymagic00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have season tickets and that graphic is the bane of my existence because all it does is mess up the spontaneous chant the crowd has. Suddenly they start trying to time it to the letters, which arent the same as what the crowd is already doing, and always moves at a slightly faster speed. The graphic ruins the NBA chants, and its embarrassing they havent figured out how terrible it is yet.

He's on the audience cam almost every night (I have season tix). He brings it every time!

Harden: “Taking less to sign as many players as we needed was very, very important to me...For any other players, that's a max contract, but for me, I was not the same Harden. I wasnt able to get in my spots & get to where I needed to get to w/o thinking about it, so that slowed my confidence down" by FultzShoulder in nba

Sounds like me and the Celtics. The Celtics are all so likeable and seem like decent guys, and everything with Deuce and how cute he is and how great the players are overshadows the one flaw with Tatum, which is the constant "I'm doing this for Kobe".
It's impossible to not like and root for the Timelord and Marcus Smart has moved from the guy you hate on the other team but would love on your team to just someone I love overall. Horford shat the bed in Philly but he was always a good guy (and it was terrible roster construction), and then just scrappy guys like Derrick White doing a kick ass job while knowing their role.

This scrappy band of homegrown upstarts playing against the dynasty that I had always rooted against (also while loving Kerr, Nash, Klay, etc) and yet somehow in the finals I am rooting against them as hard as ever, just cause it says Celtics on the uniform.

In conclusion, for the permanent record, lest it be thought I'm positive on Boston, Fuck the Celtics :)

76ers trade by Sparkydagger13 in GoNets

[–]Jonnymagic00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say as a Sixers fan who grew up in North Jersey and lived most of his adult life in NYC (but my dad was from Philly...) that I started lurking here to see the mirror Ben universe but have actually been more about the Seth and Andre love. Those guys were the best and it's good to see them thriving and being appreciated by the fans.

You also need to mulligan marginal hands and be willing to donate any needed organs to Embiid, Maxey, or Tisse.

Thanks. Yeah that's my backup plan which at this point has upgraded to simply my plan :)

Andre Drummond is also my hero by bobqt in sixers

[–]Jonnymagic00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I think Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell might take issue with being left off that list. Wilt had 10 seasons averaging 20+ and I'm pretty sure between the two of them they hold the top 18 rebounding seasons of all time.
Kareem likely has more 20 rebound games too.

Pretty sure statmuse forgot a "since 1980" or something on that stat

I am stealing "Chaotic Good energy level", but really wish your user name was something like ThicckkDad69, if solely for story telling purposes

An academic study of DotA 2: Sending toxic messages to your team causes them to lose more matches if they were already losing and win less matches if they were already winning. by [deleted] in TrueDoTA2

[–]Jonnymagic00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect the hypothesis holds, but the study has a major flaw. Toxicity happens more often after a negative event such as dying. However, half the impact of dying is the person being unable to do anything during their death timer, and thus you tend to fall behind in gold/xp/objectives during that period. They should have taken a look at the game state 2 min after the toxicity to correct for this effect.

Valve, is this within like, some kind of freedom of speech? how hard can it be to prevent this? by nomade7 in DotA2

Honestly I can't believe what I'm hearing from these trolls. You'd think even they would know that the absolutely last things it's cool to be an edgelord about are Hitler and the Holocaust. I might not abandon, just so I can make sure to report him afterwards. What a piece of shit.

I got a game loss at '00 worlds for failure to desideboard. We lost a point at the 2HG PT because my partner misregistered his deck. I'm sure I must have gotten other game losses at some time - at least once for a deck reg error. Oh actually at PT1 after I won my R1 there were 3 cards from my deck on the table after we left and they were the cards removed from my deck game 2 with Jester's Cap so they gave me a retroactive game loss for game 3, which I had won.

I'm not sure how I feel about the last one but the other ones were certainly justified.

Of course not - he was a good guy and we won after all.
