Really frustrating that the game is 80% luck when decks are evenly matched. Getting double tails 3 times in a row happend so much more often than it should

Is this 2005?

I dont understand what youre saying then. You literally made an analogy for an emergency situation in which you make sure of your own survival first, then tend to others.

Whats the black paper for?

There are very few people in first world countries who cant feed themselves

Good question. I think it has to do with empathy. When arguing on the internet, you dont have an actual person in mind that you are talking to. Also, anonymity gives you safety. You dont have to worry about not hurting someone because it wont have adverse effects on the relationships with people around you, aka your tribe. This was essential for survival some time ago and sits deep within our subconcious.

Dont forget to donate to (reputable) charities.

There are very different kinds of "smartness". The currently favored (by most modern societies) kind weighs logical and structured thinking very heavily, that doesnt mean someone "isnt smart" if they dont possess those qualities. Also, chess does not even rely on the commonly referred to "smartness" that much. The most important aspects are long term memory ( for remembering situations from games and acting accordingly)and thousands of hours of practice.

.25 cents? Thats 0.0025$, what a steal!

It just shows what the focus lies on. A post full of comments recommending adblockers has far more impact than a single comment making the post seem dead.

Youre technically right that it is unoriginal, but I dont see how originality would matter at all in this case.

This is a post about unnecessary rage that absolutely noone has to deal with because everyone should use ad blockers. OP may or may not know, but the post suggests the later. I dont see how it is 'unoriginal' to comment about ad blockersin that case...

It used to be a piece of this. Those sloppy steaks made the jight sooo fun!

I think theyre talking about rinsing with water

Your comment is way more sexist than you make the post out to be

I dont think anyone can call themselves prude if they dont find Prison School disgusting. Not saying that being prude is good in any way though.

Disnt think I would see prison school recommended here xD

Im doing pretty well. Living in Germany, educated parents. Did okay in school, never studied much though. Went to university, got my Masters in Mathematics (needed to study a lot for that, but its my passion anyway). Started working at an IT company in the same city.

3 years later, I have around 50k in savings now. We live in a small apartment, are in the middle of buying a house.

Capitalism is really fckd up, especially in the US. I try not to take advantage of it too much, up my monthly donations with every raise, vote left-ish, dont support big corporations.

I think the biggest factor for success is luck for being born under the right circumstances. Thats like 99%, the rest is having some self control.

Probably because 99.999% of users already use JS and dedicating a web page to it is already more work than they needed to put into it

Most people dont have heart attacks, so 2.5 times that is not really much.

For some time now I noticed a shift in how things are handled in the company I work at (small local company, when I joined we were 10 employees, now 3 years later were at 40). We used to be proud that our company is employee-friendly and not like big corporations, but recently it started to turn into 'company vs employees'. I needed to express my concerns and set up a meeting with my boss who is also the owner of the company. The days before I was really anxious and constantly kept thinking about how the conversation might turn out and what would happen after that. In the end it was not that bad but I was really nervous at the time and came off as insecure, which makes me anxious remembering it.
