It’s wrong to joke about something you made fun of yourself?

I can make fun of myself because I'm the one that has to deal with what happened.

The way you did it was... a bit tasteless I guess? Don't worry I'm not super offended or anything. Carry on.

So how about my 2020 MLB season predictions? All looks about right so far.

Yep. He check called flop and turn, river came he types NOOOOOOOOOOO but calls 1/4 pot

Got it all in pre against one of the boys I call Harvey Weinstein, QQ v KQo, he gets a K in the window, but three spades, river spade and he claps and yells "ship it to me," and the dealer tells him I have a flush. Hahahahahaha *********** stupid ass mother****er.

but when someone just lost 30k...probably err on the side of not joking about it I'd reckon! or at least give him more than 24 hours to mourn

just like when a woman ever tells you she's fat, or put on some weight or is getting old etc etc....

Also, update on the girl who I thought was a ***** for demanding a bigger tip from me.

She's actually a pretty sweet girl who was poorly influenced by her bitchy "friend" (who got fired from the game lol). She came up to me and apologized profusely and we talked it out and we're cool now. I was not expecting that, but without her "friend" she's a totally different and much better person.

My bad.

You guys should all listen to this! Especially the lolparents itt.

Also, when will it be legal to spread indoor basketball pickup again? LOL smdh

Gotta prep for the 2021 young vs. olds chat thread basketball battle

GL to any of you degens that are firing WSOP online bullets. Jealous.

Maybe send her a dick pic?

nice Welsh accent on the interviewer

Can you bullet point a few cliffs? I’m too behind on my podcasts to spend 40 mins but I do like Jason Koon

She's super young and not really my type. I don't want to break her heart if we did anything.

Sure, this ones rlly, rlly good.

1) Was abused as a child, had a rough upbringing, and grew up poor in WV. Had aspirations to become a professional athlete that were derailed by a major injury.

2) Got a finance MBA and was working a really solid job that with all incentives considered- paid him over $100k but left it because it didn’t make him happy, fulfilled etc.

3) becomes friends and rises through the ranks with guys like Ben T, Raptor, some who were playing mega high stakes as early as 19 and buying houses. Talks about the impact that circle has had on his development.

4) now engaged to the love of his life that supports him every day and has really helped him. Looks forward to watching his eventual kids grow and succeed at what they love and wants to be the role model of a father he never had.

5) Touches on how the internet has gems concealed within it that make it a blessing that past generations didn’t have but can be a huge impediment to ones development if they get consumed by outside propaganda and agendas. Political or otherwise.

6) is absolutely on a tear in poker of course and in addition to the tens of millions in tourney scores is playing the highest NL stakes in the world. Not the focus of the interview but touched up on.

Hugely insightful. Worth a background listen on a car ride someday. Wealth of value for 40mins.

Lolol A+

Why is that funny lol. FWIW she's fairly attractive but I can tell she has self-esteem issues from being mistreated/abused. If I really wanted to go for it, it probably wouldn't be that difficult. I just don't want to.

FW gives u a a+ for prolly the same reason I was gunna. it is something that I have never said

I'm not like you two. Not saying there's anything wrong with being that way, but I'm fine with how I am.

sabr - i can totally dig it. respect it too. but i must say sport fcukkin can b a good time. and if they r throwing it at me, i feel i am morally obligated to do my personal best to fulfill their wanton needs

Oh if she literally threw herself at me I would probably do it, but not going to try for it because I know she's not my type. And I think it would hurt my chances with someone else that I'm actually more interested in.

8) Proggy arty rock?

The girl came back today. I approached her, and we talked for a bit. Before I had the chance to ask her out, she mentioned her boyfriend was starting a PhD program in my field. It sucks, BUT I'm more proud of myself for going up to her and approaching her. This is NOT something I would've or could've done before therapy.

The three main takeaways for me: 1) I don't have to live my whole life saying "there was a sexy girl outside that I chose to never approach;" 2) I now have the confidence and felt comfortable enough to approach a stranger in public that I thought was sexy - something I didn't think I'd ever be capable of; 3) ties into one, but I got clearance, and I should feel good about the stride.


I know this is probably gonna look really silly, but being mildly autistic, and worse having an extremely abusive and neglectful past, this is a big moment for me. I've had ridiculous beliefs about myself instilled in my brain from a young age, and thought for the longest time that I was a hidious, idiot, loser, horrible human being, that had no hope of ever being likeable. Therapy is really starting to show its results. And also, yes, thank you to the thread for also helping talk me through this and provide countless suggestions.

i have excellent news for u 67. the moar u do it the easier it becomes. dont let 2 much time pass b4 u say hi to another.

good job mang!!

Thank you. I felt super weird, I felt like what I was saying was somewhat forced and I'm not sure if she could tell. I owe it to myself to be moreso happy and less so thinking after the fact about what some random girl with a boyfriend thought of me though.

I don't want to let too much time pass, but it's also super difficult to find attractive women during COVID-19...I guess I could try the grocery store, but I feel like campus is the best place/less likely to get a "GTFO, I don't want you to kill me" person.

That's good.

Congrats, 67o. I'm sorry she was taken already, but I'm really glad that you've got through that first time taking the shot. Also, if you didn't make it to base, you at least lined out, instead of striking out looking.

Finally, it's a huge life-lesson to see how you're no worse off than if you hadn't talked to her, which makes the next one much less intimidating.
