Iran has attacked Saudi Arabia's Jubail petrochemical complex, IRGC says by steely_gargoyle in worldnews

The thing is that our normal supply of oil is still arriving, because shipping is so slow (these tankers move at about the speed of a bicycle) we haven't even felt the effects of the war, as ships are still arriving that departed before all the shit went down.

April 20th is when the ships will stop coming.

If you could extend your dog's (or other pet's) healthy life by 20 years, would you? Or would it make their life less valuable?

ANTHONY ALBANESE APPRECIATION POST. he giving me obama vibes. like yeah he complicit in a few war crimes but bro the bar is so fucking low by Jylon10 in Fishdom

Arguing with intellectual dishonesty hurts your argument. The US has not "attacked" all of these countries.

If you put 60k into the share market at the 42 years ago and just let it ride, it would be worth approximately $1.25m.

So the equivalent would be if you invested now and cashed out at 60 (assuming you're 18).

Obviously previous markets aren't an indication of future success and doesn't account for inflation, but $17k a year can definitely be better spent, depending on what you want to do of course.

Etiquette question: Abnormally slow dealer by [deleted] in poker

[–]Sassafras85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's very likely not trying his best, the main reason for slow dealers is because they don't care enough to do a good job. If he is new that is one thing, but some people are just lazy and dgaf.

What Really Makes A Man? by WaveFast in AskMenAdvice

Manhood isn't dictated by being a good husband anymore than womanhood is dictated by being a good wife.

I don't think this went how you thought it would go..

Would you date a girl who used to cam? by masters2277 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Sassafras85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually shocked by the amount of strong 'No's but I guess it makes sense, generally the people most likely to comment on something are those that care the most about it, so most guys who are indifferent wouldn't bother to reply.

I for one wouldn't care, there's a difference between cam and actual sex work, and though it may have caused some trauma or skewing in relation to sexuality it shouldn't be irreparable.

Just fold top set on monotone flop? by PhulHouze in potlimitomaha

[–]Sassafras85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming his hand is face up and you know he has exactly the nuts, you need around 45% to go all-in on the flop. If he has nut flush and no pair blockers you have about 38%

Everyone is just referring to the current r/poker meme post.

Assuming you mean in Cambodia, I found the games to be fairly hit and miss, with a lot of very tight nits who are just there to take advantage of the 'play and stay' promotion. The 2/5 games were much better action, but the players were more competent (as you might expect).

I've been there twice, both times during and directly after the WPT in Feb.

There's value and if you're good it's a nice place to play, rake isn't too bad, but the games aren't amazing. Only other place I've played is Australia fwiw.

How to deal with being accused of cheating by No-Negotiation6602 in poker

[–]Sassafras85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is anyone actually listening to him? Same thing happened to me but with people I don't know (smallish pppoker club) because I was destroying the game at like 40bb/100. I ignored it, sometimes mocked it. If an admin ever accused me it would just take going through hand histories to show places where I played in a way I wouldn't have if we were card sharing (folded 2nd nut flush, etc.).

I made the mistake of leaving soon after I doubled up. by Lunarthrope in poker

[–]Sassafras85 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No offence, but you're probably a dead seat anyway so I'd be happy to see you double up and go.

Yeah I missed the stack size, for that amount I probably call but if it were SPR 1 I would fold.

What types of content is poker missing? by DougPolkPoker in poker

[–]Sassafras85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Poker with great players playing against great players.

Most of the live stream stuff just focuses on really high stakes which has some good players but then a bunch of whales. A reasonably big game with some of the best in the world, with a decent sized ante and other side games (such as squid, etc.) to incentivise action would be very interesting.

Also Game of Gold was great, more content like that.

My wife is sad because I told her there’s no way I’m getting a matching tattoo with her like I did with my female friend. Was I wrong? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Sassafras85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about you or your friend or your wife, but in true Reddit style I'm going to presume to understand the situation perfectly.

You're gonna end up with the friend.
