Gambling every day for decades and still not addicted, what are the odds!
3-1
I’ll put down 100k
“I never gamble. Not in a million years.”
“I bet I can get you to gamble by the end of the day.”
“You’re on!”
“Ha! I don’t know how I’m gonna get you, but I’ll figure something out before the day is over, just you wait.”
Big gulps huh?
We landed on the moon!
A very toxic industry to be in, I used to be an engineer for a company that looked after slot machines here in the UK. High Street betting shops would regularly get smashed up by people after they lost all their money, but they would just pay us to repair them and let them back a few weeks later because they knew they’d be back. Completely taking advantage of people with a very real problem.
Statistically speaking, if nobody you know is a ghost, you’re the ghost.
Guess we’re all ghosts
boo
I don’t understand, please explain
Something a ghost would say…
- Imagine a group of people
- You look around and notice that there are no ghosts in that group of people
- Now you need to check if you are a ghost, which you can’t check
- Therefore, it’s statistically likely that you are a ghost if nobody you know is a ghost
But that would only work under assumption that in any group of people at least one of them has to be a ghost, or at the very least the chance that there is a ghost in a group of people is greater than 0, right? Is it something about the chance of someone being a ghost being truly unknown, and thus all possible values of probability being taken as equally rational, and with infinite number of possible values for probability of someone being a ghost for infinite number of them observing that no one in a group of people you’re in is a ghost… No, that wouldn’t work either, because it would require an assumption that this specific group of people might have a ghost among them. Assuming anyone can be a ghost with unknown probability still only works when the group you’re observing is entire population, does it not? Limiting it to specific group of people relies on it being representative of entire population, and random groups are not. Especially if you were to be a ghost, that would already make a group you’re in rather unique. Or not, depending on what’s the unknown value of probability of someone being a ghost.
I mean, what???
So first, 👻s obviously are real because everybody has always believed in 👻s. Since we can take that as a given, we can also logically assume that 👻s are a significant portion of sentient minds. If you don’t know any 👻s, then statistically speaking, it is much more likely for you to be the 👻 in the sample size of the 👯👯♂️👯♀️ you know.
I can quit any time I like. I won’t. But I could!
Quit what? Life? I can’t, I’m addicted to living :(
You seem addicted to breathing. Try quitting
I tried to stop a while ago, in less than 2 minutes the craving was in me… I cracked, despite all my promises to myself, I breathed again. Definitely addict !
Maybe I’ve put on weight since then, wouldn’t surprise me
Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!
Rehabs for quitters 😂
Quitters are losers. That’s why I don’t quit and go to rehab.
My dude needs to get Balatro
When you can break infinity and all the money is imaginary.
Clever title.
The dude: aww damn it
Quitting gambling and smoking is easy. I’ve done it several times already.
As Kenny Rogers said, you got to know when to hold em and so on. I haven’t finished the song yet, but I’m pretty sure it supports this guy.
OP doesn’t know when to walk away, or when to run. He probably doesn’t even know when to fold.
Kenny Rogers makes some fine fried chicken, though it doesn’t compare to the actual original recipe that The Colonel sold, which is possible to recreate, but no longer possible to buy, prepared for consumption, ever since KFC took over the store in Corbin.
I found this version of the recipe online
Does this seem like the real deal, or is it more of a recreation of the corporate recipe?
I haven’t really tried to make it myself, ever (I don’t even own a regular deep fryer, let alone a pressure fryer)
The only real deal I know of is this: https://marionkay.com/product/chicken-seasoning-99-x/
That is, apparently, the actual original recipe that Sanders made.
Ugh they don’t ship to the EU :(
I guess I’ll have to try the different replica recipes found online. The stuff that you get at KFC itself is mediocre at best and I lost interest in it as soon as a better chicken joint turned up near me.
Is that his song about origami?
I bet he is not addicted!
I bet he is
So you think I have a gambling problem?
I’ll bet you $100 that I don’t!
How many times can the same content be reposted?
Buddy, I’ve been posting things I find on Lemmy for 2+ years. It’s all I post and I haven’t made a repost yet so I doubt it’s happening.
I’ve seen this post at least three times so far.
whooooosh or something.
Atleast twice
that is fake, right?
Classic joke getting chewed by the hivemind into some kind of collective permanent epiphany about how much brighter we all are compared to online strangers.
Missing obvious satire is something we’re even worse about than Reddit.
If you’ve ever dealt with addiction or know someone who has, it’s not obvious. People will go to great lengths to convince themselves they don’t have a problem.
