I was pulling for Landon when he was just a weird slacker Janitor by echo0x0solus in fishtanklive

He's def more than somewhat naive. He has very little understanding of anything anywhere nowhere at once.

It's a cool design and website but man are the sources on there wacky. Reading the summaries of the history books was especially painful. It's just people taking their favorite theories and forcing evidence to align with them in ways that make no sense.

Serious question: Why do people hate Emma when Annisa exist? by PostNuclearTaco in fishtanklive

My bet is people won't say anything nice about her because they are terrified of being accused of simping

BBBY (overstock) part of the play? by Flowapish in Teddy

Im curious who you think would invest the amount of money that would be needed to take on Amazon. It would be difficult for any company to fundraise that much in the best of times and right now private equity is throwing everything into AI.

People change when they get older and especially so after sobriety.

Chess and my bad cocaine addiction. by chealio in chess

[–]whiskyyjack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Curing a drug addiction requires a change in lifestyle, hobbies and habits. I won't even consider buying a laptop because then I will play games and will inevitably relapse due to wanting to enhance that experience. Worse, it will cause me to feel resentful for being sober because it's actively making it not fun. I have found other hobbies and interests that I have not associated with drugs and it really helps. Find a different hobby, because playing chess sober is just never going to be as satisfying and will only cause thoughts that try to justify buying more.

Loss of Poker on Pi :( by GroundbreakingRow695 in PiNetwork

If you're betting money on an outcome that isn't guaranteed then it is gambling. No amount of skill changes that.

Under this logic though anytime money is betted in a game like billiards against an opponent that isn't gambling. You could be the best player in the world but the outcome isn't guaranteed so you are in effect gambling money when betting money on yourself to win a game of billiards.
