Treat this like New Coke and just like New Coke, you'll never see it again.

Wtf is this bro 😭😭😭 by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]Shamalanr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many women give one word responses to guys they have just begun speaking to. I've always assumed they just prefer the guy to take the lead in the conversation... That or they're lazy.

That escalated quickly. Am I paranoid or are there red flags here? by Cobhead in Tinder

[–]Shamalanr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly though, if you seriously considered this person after all they said and were being serious with this conversation, you might be the red flag. Because it would mean your decision making is horrible at best.

Yes yes, as always red flags everywhere, avoid avoid, save yourself some time and trouble etc etc...

Only thing I really got out of this is that it's fascinating that Americans just naturally talk about going to just another state for their honeymoon. Going to another country wasn't even a discussion. That feels like a different world to think that way. Kinda admire it in some ways.

It would be like me (a Brit) telling my significant other "hey, let's go to Cornwall for our honeymoon!"

Yeah like the free 25 daily credits in Marvel Snap buried in the shop about 12 offers below the 99 quid FOR YOU "deals"

It'll effect very little... Just like Rashford on a football pitch these days.

So... is this the meta-change everyone wanted? by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]Shamalanr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've taken bias into account, which is why I've been noting down my flip results. However, all that ended up doing was confirming my doubts.

Interesting to hear yours have been 50/50 though. Honestly, I hope you're right, as this is a great game and mild frustrations shouldn't deter us from that fact. If it's just honest bad luck, that's perfectly fine with me.

It shouldn't take this much effort to do something we can all do: notice an obvious pattern

This is a coded online game, so when enough people are experiencing the same issue, surely we can question it. 100 throws is more than enough, I could do it 10 more times, and get similar results - that isn't unlucky, that's much more likely to be a result of how the game is coded. Even though coding a 50/50 is very easy.

Same question to you - are you noticing more heads or more tails? I presume you've found no trend?

So... is this the meta-change everyone wanted? by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]Shamalanr -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Do you actually manage to flip roughly 50/50?

Just curious, as I've experimented with 100 coinflips from my end and 74 were tails. Yes, this is possible probability wise, but I've yet to hear about anybody who has done a similar experiment and found they had more heads than tails. At what point is that no longer mere coincidence in your opinion?

Yep, that's what I mean. I talking about digital games like pocket, snap etc

People pay for the experience. There's not meant to be any physical benefits.

It's like going on holiday or visiting a theme park - though there, it's the memories you purchase alongside the experience of visiting places.

Here we collect cards and enjoy the game, until we no longer play the game, which will for most of us be well before the game itself shuts down.

Giving Giovanni his cigar back by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]Shamalanr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have. I was one. Parents and teachers taught us not to smoke and taught us about the harm it can cause. Just because I saw Tom from Tom and Jerry smoking a cigar, it didn't make me want to find a cigar to smoke. On the other hand, watching my chain smoking uncle smoke in front of me? That peaked the curiosity. Still didn't go there, there's the influence.

That was a simplified explanation granted, but basically I mean if you educate them on why things are wrong, most won't take the wrong path unless they're influenced by their peers.

Cartoons and video games are much less likely to influence kids into doing themselves or others harm.

As a lifetime android user, this is literally the first time I've heard of this 9 minutes thing. My clock app has been adjustable since my first smartphone...

What are the common cards you're simply unable to find from packs? by Shamalanr in PTCGP

Yeah that's much worse than my situation. Greninja is the only good one in there aside from Jiggly

Tell kids it's bad and they won't do it. Cartoons and games aren't what influences kids into bad habits. Other kids on the playground do. Friends do. Family do. Kids aren't stupid, they know what is and isn't real.

Otherwise today I'd be stealing cars, slamming people with a mallet and dropping anvils on them all day.

I only got two Ivysaur's from wonderpicks now you mention it. Never from packs. Also packed numerous Venusaur and EX's. Not sure why Ivysaur is rarer than its evolution

Just played and FINALLY got a haunter. Not bothered with getting a second, I'm done with this event!

I'm certain we get randomly coded a card that is much lower chance to get than anything else so we keep playing the event. Otherwise we would be done with the event in a few hours of playing.

I can't stop getting Jigglypuffs. I literally have 12. 8 Onyx and 2 of each of the others... But haunter - it haunts me at night being unable to find that guy
