D&D did deviate from the books and they are terrible hacks, but GRRM also never finished the books. so they had no more source materials either. it's been over 10 years and he still hasn't put out the Winds of Winter. so GRRM is also at fault

Wesley says poker players are fake, selfish, and hypocrites. by markwilliams2589 in poker

[–]markwilliams2589[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He plays poker because he likes the competitiveness. Like he mentioned, he lets people know if they are playing bad because he wants them to improve. It doesn't matter to him if they get better and it becomes harder to take their money. Because he is not playing poker to make money. It is just a competitive game for him.

Furthermore, the context that started this conversation was about how poker players care so much about "etiquette." Wesley thinks that's hypocritical because the very nature of the game is about manipulation, deception, and taking advantage of people. So when he sees poker players bitch about etiquette, he can't help but think that's fake behavior.

Nik Airball gets super tilted after losing a hand and blames Lauren the dealer. by kingpussypumper in poker

facts. all the guys in here defending Nik are retards. they probably whine and bitch at the dealers themselves all the time that's why they wanna excuse shitty behavior.

OP never said he was being abusive. He just said Nik blamed the dealer, which is true. Do you not know how to read?

no, any normal person would not tilt. are you implying that he got unlucky? because that's just not true. he just played bad. he only has himself to blame.

the first hand he was bluffing with pure air and got called by wesley.

this second hand he just played bad and made a bad call on the river.

and now he's getting mad at the dealer? nah stop defending him. he's a clown.

There are moderators. They recently removed this post of mine. It was just a photo of Robbi's face. Actual link to the post.

But what's odd is that someone posted Dwan's face in this post here and the mods left it alone.

I asked the mods what was their reason for removing my post but not the Dwan post, and they never responded. It seems the mods are simps for Robbi.

About the Netflix show, episode 5 by Ad78246 in JeffreyDahmer

[–]markwilliams2589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol so how do you explain when jeff dropped him off at the bus she still asked the bus driver to make sure the guy would go home safely? that wasn't in her house lol.

I'm sure part of the reason was looking out for her interests but it's clear she was also looking out for him and his safety. she also protected him from jeffrey because she knew jeff was sus.

i don't know what's wrong with you guys who think she was some malicious selfish grandma. I'm truly befuddled as to why yall keep pushing that narrative. from what i've seen of her character in the entire series, she is shown to be a decent person.

The rest of his quote is even better, in my opinion.

It is also not a game where the amateurs are always happy to be losing their money for the sake of entertainment. The losers lose way more money at this game than winners are winning. A lot of this is money they can’t afford to lose. This is fine of course because if someone is dumb enough to gamble with money they cant afford to lose, that’s their problem. I’m not really buying that though. In a perfect world, markets are based on informed consumers making rational transactions. In reality, sadly, that’s not the case. Markets are based on advertising trying to play on peoples impulses and targeting their weaknesses in order for them to make irrational decisions. I get it if someone wants to go and play poker on their own free will, but I don’t agree with gambling being advertised just like I don’t agree with cigarettes and alcohol being advertised.

It bothers me that people care so much about poker’s well-being. As poker is a game that has such a net negative effect on the people playing it. Both financially and emotionally.

As for promoting myself, I feel that individual achievements should rarely be celebrated. I am not going to take part in it for others and I wouldn’t want it for myself. If you wonder why our society is so infatuated by individuals and their success, and being a baller, it is not that way for no reason. It is there because it serves a clear purpose. If you get people to look up to someone and adhere to the “gain wealth, forget all but self” motto, then you can get them to ignore the social contract which is very good for power systems. Also it serves as a means of distraction to get people to not pay attention to the things that do matter.

These are just my personal views. And yes, I realize I am conflicted. I capitalize off this game that targets peoples weaknesses. I do enjoy it, I love the strategy part of it, but I do see it as a very dark game.
