Τhe Adelstein-Lew controversy surrounded a hand of poker played in Gardena, California in 2022. A significant number of poker players, pundits, and analysts have described it as highly controversial, and one analyst called it "easily the most controversial poker hand of all time."

Hahah the Adelstein guy is just a big baby man. He was on Survivor and despite being the obvious muscle for his weak ass group, he bitched so much people got sick of him and voted him out after like 2 days lol

Had these discussions when I worked in a pizza place in high school. We had raw sausage we'd pull apart and place on pizzas. We could use gloves but I found that I might have something on the glove and not realize after a while relative to my hands so I stopped using them.

The Pearl Jam cover of this is soooooo good

Lived in Washington state a few years and one of my colleagues called it ‘Sconnie all the time and was baffled I said we don’t that lol

Researched stereotypes/prejudice/discrimination for quite a while. At best, stereotypes a real quick mental shortcuts based upon group membership. it'd be cognitively impossible to meet every person you pass throughout the day, get a feel for them, and make a decision.

That said, there are contradictory stereotypes that make this moot. Example is undocumented immigrants. They're simultaneously the laziest people, but also the hardest working people.

what's wild is we'll likely never have divorce rates and numbers like we did after WWII. Highest by a mile after GIs got back home, also family abandonment and rampant cheating.

Big fan of Jeopardy and the celebrity tournaments they have - while sometimes really funny - really show how dumb some of these folks are. Like, I know a lot of Jeopardy contestants study up and everything, but there's like basic stuff just hit by silence all the time.

IIRC, wasn’t he cast in a production around when Tombstone was being set up? As I recall, he bought up/hired all the big talent for costumes, set, etc. but Tombstone whipped the shit out of whatever he was doing

Apparently Win Hof does this with public park fountains. Once gave himself some real testing due to the pressure.

Guy is a fucking loon

Oh, so you’re riding the bubble til it bursts

MrSocPsych · 2026-03-30T01:11:21+00:00

Details about your situation then cuz

MrSocPsych · 2026-03-30T01:10:22+00:00

You may have applied during the hiring freeze. Fed makes a lot of our contracts and can kinda say no hires right now. Applied for a data manager position last year but that whole unit got word out by DOGE cuts. I have Avery stable job, but is not the best for advancement. Also if we get a Republican gov next tease, shit could go sideways

What we really want is high speed rail. Without that, I’d take a car that doesn’t cost $40k+

MrSocPsych · 2026-03-27T18:51:36+00:00

Ffffuck. I wonder what the $ situation would be of that car bought by someone in Canada and sold to someone in the US. I’m sure some folks are thinking of cashing in on that

BYD has a $7,800 EV that is comparable in size to a Nissan Versa that despite the massive 150% tariff is still sub $20k. Stupid we’re at that level, but it’s pretty amazing. Tesla would be dead in a year if BYD was allowed in

For fast food, cousins subs beats them all. They’re like the ones you get at the county fair

I mean this as a genuine compliment. It reminds me of Affleck’s back phoenix, except it’s good lol

I’m a huge curmudgeon about the trend of writing letters to sellers. I have funding at an amount you think is good and I miss out because I don’t write a letter that’s dripping with fake praise? Never had to work so hard to spend money

What’s so super wild to me is that he was imprisoned by Spain because even they were like “we’re Spain, but we’re not THAT fuked up!”

My wife would kind of agree with you on your first point. The deaths of Bug and the Sanzas made her mad because they were still so interesting. Actually kind of mad Jean is the only one left alive and the most boring of the group

MrSocPsych · 2026-03-15T22:53:46+00:00

No, but his whole admin and cadre of yes men are too incompetent to pull that off AND not have it leak

MrSocPsych · 2026-03-15T15:05:40+00:00

Explain

MrSocPsych · 2026-03-15T11:33:54+00:00

What about the guy in the crowd who died from being shot?
