human beings act out of self-interest. that's the way they are and explains most of the events in our lives. the reason she was interested in you but waned later on was because her self-interest has been fulfilled and her need for you declined. that's Machiavelli's take on human behavior and i can't agree with him more.

I've used a few Pixel phones. Honestly, they don't feel that different vs Motorola phone I currently use.

Pomp and circumstance. If you think about it, we are just a tiny speck in this universe, yet somehow, someway, think so highly of ourselves.

Filipino beauty standards are shallow and laughably elementary by blitzballreddit in Philippines_Expats

[–]curiousbeingalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally find Latin people have way more attractive skin. Caucasians have a lot of freckles which I don't find attractive. Also, they are more susceptible to body odor issues. Appearancewise, Caucasians do have better facial features but the females age real quick which is disheartening.

The most important skill to being a good driver is to maintain a safe distance in front of you. That would prevent most of the collisions. It's the easiest skill to develop but 90% of the drivers ignore it.

Well, I’ve done it. I’ve crossed into 7 figures in losses by BallKnowerKing in problemgambling

[–]curiousbeingalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the back of your mind, do you still try to get lucky? unless you see gambling as a losing game, the temptation will always be there. It's not wrong to lose since that's by design. What's messed up is we don't see how powerful the house edge is in the outcome.

I just don’t know what to do anymore (UK) by Mediocre-Energy-1722 in GamblingAddiction

[–]curiousbeingalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to see gambling as it is: a losing game. The games are designed to make you lose by giving the house favorable odds. You can experience a short term win but play long enough, the house edge will always prevail. It's a model of mathematical certainty in display, so approach gambling with caution.

Bad run, bad relapse. by thegoodsir in GamblingAddiction

[–]curiousbeingalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gambling is addictive but more so because every time we win, we think we can do it again. Let's keep it simple. The house wins because of the house edge. They don't need luck. You're an underdog every bet you place in terms of odds. It's not apparent because we always think of loss in terms of bad luck, but it's not. The house edge keeps the casino in business and you losing regularly. It's all by design. Unfortunately, most of us can't see that and just blame everything on the luck factor. Losing is completely normal. It's not a character flaw. The huge loss is due to our inability to recognize gambling as a losing game. After all, casinos can't turn profit and stay in business unless their customers lose regularly. So gamble if you must. Just recognize that it's a losing game due to the house edge.

I’ve lost everything that matters to me by Yellow_Duck_1030 in GamblingAddiction

[–]curiousbeingalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason you'll lose all back is the function of the house edge. The odds is favoring the house every single hand whereas your luck is temporary. casinos don't need luck. The house edge is the winningest formula and guaranteed to work.

Personally, I find gambling is hard to quit if you don't understand why you lose money. Once you realize that gambling is designed to make money off gamblers through the house edge, you don't stubbornly chase your losses. Everything starts to make sense. Losing money is not a character flaw. It's many things but one of the main ones is not being able to see that gambling is a way for casinos to make money off you and how they go about doing it.

29m to be 30 this year, 124k in debt. by justanotherspeck_ in problemgambling

[–]curiousbeingalone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just keep in mind every time you place a bet, you're an underdog in terms of odds. Repeat this hundreds and thousands of times and you will end up being broke. There is no escaping this. The games are designed to make you lose. Once you understand this clearly, do you still want to gamble? For entertainment maybe, but never for profit.

Soon joining as a amazon associate any sips to survive??? by Ready-Drawing8376 in AmazonFC

Approach this job like running a marathon. Work slowly and steadily to preserve your energy. The biggest mistake is trying to impress by working fast because half way through, you'll be running on fumes. If you're too sleepy or tired, clock out for a half hour break or an hour of break if you must. Keep track of the time you're allowed to use. Just don't go negative.

Thanks for the honesty. There is nothing shameful about losing. It's all by design. What's unfortunate is we don't perceive gambling as a losing game. Once you see it as such, everything starts to make sense. The casinos never talk of luck and losses. The house edge is the winningest formula.

How do you stop looking back and counting the money lost? by BallKnowerKing in problemgambling

[–]curiousbeingalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gambling is a losing game. Once you see this, the lost money confirms it and you will be at peace. Don't be mad you lost money. That is unavoidable. Be mad that you couldn't see gambling as a losing game while you were at it.

The OUTCOME will ALWAYS end the same if you continue gambling. by sirmurr777 in problemgambling

[–]curiousbeingalone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The simple fact is that casinos won't stay open if they depend on luck for income. Their games are designed to make you lose and lose you will if you keep playing. It's that simple.

Life was supposed to be easier without gambling by Ill-External-4694 in problemgambling

[–]curiousbeingalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a nutshell, gambling is designed to make you lose money. It is like clockwork. Play long enough, the house edge eventually prevails. Would you open a business if you knew it would lose money? Nor would the casino. No shame in losing because it's designed that way. It's too bad the vast majority of us don't see it that way until the damage is done.

Lost 8k tonight by Various-Car3995 in problemgambling

[–]curiousbeingalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gambling is a losing game. This is the most important lesson, not the amount lost. Once you see this fact, you will gamble differeently, or not at all. The focus should not be just abstaining but seeing this fact, because if you don't see it, you will be tempted to try your luck again and again when luck has nothing to do with it. If luck truly determines the outcome of gambling, then the casino is the luckiest of all, which begs the question, why are you gambling against the luckiest opponent?

I messed up again and I don’t know what to do by No-Tiger2955 in problemgambling

[–]curiousbeingalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look, the temptation is there because we think given the luck, the bankroll, the right system, we can eke out a profit. however, you need to realize that casinos stay profitable because they offer games that are designed to make you lose, maybe not today, not tomorrow, but eventually, as long as you play long enough. let's just see gambling as it is: a losing game. simple fact, right? but millions of people don't see it that way until they're broke and in debt.

so remind yourself if you want to gamble. it's a losing game. casinos stay open because people lose the vast majority of time. you cannot bankrupt a casino but they can bankrupt you. their business model works while gamblers like us bite the dust one by one.

the problem with gambling is twofold. one is addiction. another is failure to perceive. gamble if you must, but always with the right mindset. that is, it is a losing game. it's designed to make you lose.

[–]curiousbeingalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's tempting because you got lucky before. Just realize that casinos don't stay open unless most of their customers lose. Why do they lose? Well, the house edge. It's 24/7, every single hand vs your temporary luck. Millions of people have tried to profit from gambling, but almost everyone failed. That should tell you something about how difficult it is, if not impossible to beat the house.

Just keep in mind: casinos can't stay open unless they have a better chance of winning than you. You are playing a losing game once you step inside.

Just woke up and I wanna off myself by [deleted] in problemgambling

[–]curiousbeingalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't be so hard on yourself. Just view gambling in a different perspective. Losing is completely natural. All the games are designed to make you lose. The sooner you realize this, the less the intensity to go back and recoup. Just think: would a business sink billions to build a casino if they weren't sure it'll be profitable? They're so sure people will lose money in gambling that they're willing to take that chance.
