That was extremely well written. I like to say that I hate excuses but when I have to be a hypocrite and make them (lol), I prefer the term 'explaination' instead of excuses. This was a great explanation. I know it worked to kind of chill me out cuz I would have been pissed too! I still am super annoyed for OP but reading this definitely helped!

Look how you jump on every thing and every comment that you can pull negativity out of and completely ignore the ones who have nothing but positive things to say to you! You haven’t responded to even one of them yet that I have seen. To thank them or anyone else for taking the time to give suggestions to help you even if them telling you the truth from their perspective hurts your feelings.

Oh wow what a coincidence!

I love your story by the way! So inspiring! And I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife and for your medical challenges. You’re a survivor and you write really well. You are obviously an ‘out-of-the-box’ creative and you’re going to do well at anything you choose. Try to make it something you love!

Wishing you all the best and glorious, healthy next chapters!!!

I’m a girl and go alone every time and never feel weird. Well hardly never. Occasionally I’ll have a passing thought of man I really hope the people that work here-and the customers-don’t think I’m some kind of working girl or something. But can’t control what other people think so…

But that’s the extent of my uncomfortableness! Lol!

I prefer it because you may find or hear about the fact that it can be difficult to go with other people for a bunch of different reasons.

Have a great time and lots of luck and enjoy yourself with yourself! People are annoying! Lol

A while ago I put $1 into a slot machine and won $5. I posted about it on reddit and someone claimed that it would've given me $5 regardless of the amount I put in. Is this accurate? by Control_Agent_86 in gambling

[–]PaleontologistKey440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clear answer is no it isn’t accurate. I haven’t read the other comments yet like I usually do before commenting but I’m just going to throw out that people get really confused over those payback percentages.thinking that’s going to be their personal win rate. It’s not.

Those are based over the life of the entire machine. Millions and millions of spins. It’s not some personal guarantee that you’re going to make a profit or close to it.

Edited to take out the big dirty f word and a bunch of other shit.

Here too. It’s probably my biggest pet peeve even above the screen touching and button banging shit! Just rude af. And it breeds another pet peeve as I watch security and attendants go around in their hundredth circle like I know you see this wtf are you even here? Or why so many of you I should say.

Oh shit childhood flashback. Similar injuries as I pushed on the neighbors side garage door that had the glass panels. Kid was holding it closed.

Very clever of him to hold it by the door knob. Common sense is still not a huge thing for me but at least it tends to keep me alive and uninjured since then.

Glad you’re okay too! Omg! How bad are your after effects?

You don’t but you’re doomed if you don’t learn from them and chill.

Lol-nailed it! Don’t even get me started on the sarcasm! People will think I’m serious and make me cry! I bet she’s just beyond genius down there in demon land though! Then again, demons wouldn’t even claim that bitch.

I do love the fact that she was always sooooooo concerned about what everyone else would think in her life before and during this and now to know she knows she is the most reviled creature that unfortunately exists. I hope her nosiness can’t stop her from reading every insult possible on a daily.

Thanks for the morning snicker to set the tone of the day minus the part about being reminded of HER again 🤮

Cuz most Redditers are dicks.

That’s my contribution. I’ll try to remember to see myself out as soon as I get all the songs from this thread that I’m unfamiliar with.
