I think I've only met one person from South Africa.

She was a nice little blonde white lady.

All-inMclovin, plz stick around .

Slow pony, but sleezing on a 16 year old? Whoop his ass.

Sorry. I'm in the two wrong don't make a right camp.

Someone comes to a party and is attacked from behind. The attacker should be fully liable. These are seperate incidents. The earlier incident may or may not have taken place as described. It could have even been someone else.

This is just mob justice. The wife and daughter were no longer in danger. And if they were. There are alternate remedies. Kick him out, call authorities. He may deserve it. But mob shouldn't get to decide.

Is ok to just shoot him? Hang him? I think no. Its also not okay to just beat him from behind.

The attack may or may not have taken place as described.
It could have been the wind.

i thought the original attack could have been debatably attacked because the way the host handled it, it sounded like a simple misunderstanding that needed some time to cool off

i mean, if he's kind of snippity and brushes her to the side when she's in his face and she falls cause she's drunk i could see why host would be like "yo take a breather and everyone calm down" - which is still a bad decision but understandable

but if he did just shove her to the ground, the host is very much condoning it by saying "oh let her cool off and come back in an hour"

Blame's on everyone for thinking that anyone is going to be making even halfway loldecent decisions in this environment.

Maybe next time sit down, go for a 13 hour walk, and then start playing?

Etiquette question - the hand isn't important, but I bet on the river, player snap mucks, I muck my hand...A player not in the hand says "I looked under his cards because he didn't muck low enough, and I saw the Jack of Hearts.
He had the straight. Good fold."

I actually had A K, and was thinly betting top two of a four straight board... The guy was being 100% serious though, and I guess I can see how if you briefly kinda see a card that you could confuse K with J.

I felt like it was out of line, but not ridiculous. I didn't say anything because the guy is a huge spot, but I really felt like what he said was bad etiquette. What do you think?

Well the first thing to do is to muck lower.

As a general rule, whales get to do (almost) whatever they want.

Laugh and with a smile say "man, with your eagle eyes I'm going to have to make sure I muck lower!" or something along those lines.

Meh, hand is over. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Extremely cheap lessen to reevaluate how you’re handling your cards, which is about the only thing I would take away from it.

I'd usually say something like "which Jack of Hearts did you see? I had two of them."

Have you considered stand up comedy Garick?

Thank you for the responses. I also completely agree with Lurshy about FW's incident

By this statement, the sucker punch may not have been clearly described either.

So,, 0/0/0% is probably better in your eyes.

I just had an interview today. I talked with three alumni of the program (it's a year long post graduation opportunity, that essentially feeds you in to the network. It's not called an internship because it pays much more than a traditional internship, and hires people with degrees, but it's more or less an internship.) Anyways, the three alumni said they would all be shocked if I didn't get admitted given my resume.

I had the interview today via Zoom. I went to outside one of the dorms because I don't have wifi in my house by choice. I worse a suit and tie for the interview. The interview was an hour long, and it seemed to go really well. I didn't pause on any of the questions, and I felt like I gave really solid answers. I also had a few questions prepared for her, and one of them she responded "Wow! That's a great question, and I've never been asked that before." I have a two major worries about the interview though:

1) About halfway through, two people walked by that were talking really loud. I definitely spoke over them, and she heard me clearly, and I could tell because she directly responded to some things I said in the 20 second time period that they were walking by. Do you think this will hurt me? To be fair, there was a point in the interview when an advertisement went off on her computer really loud, and she muted it within a few seconds. Do you think these two things will cancel out?

2. She made it clear in the email that we had 45 minutes. She also said this at the beginning of the interview "we have 30 minutes for you, and 15 minutes for me to answer questions." I asked her two questions and then we were at the 43 minute mark, and there was an awkward pause because I thought she was gonna wrap it up, and she said "do you have any more questions?" I felt like it would be bad to say "no," so I came up with something really quick, which was ironically the question she responded to with "Wow! That's a great question, and I've never been asked that before." After she answered that we were at the 53 minute mark. I honestly had tentative plans in 37 minutes, and it felt weird to just go on and on and on and on and on with questions when she made it clear we had 45 minutes, so I said "I can see we're approaching the end time of this interview, so I was just wondering if you could fill me in on the next steps, should I be chosen to advance?" She did, and then the interivew ended. Do you think I handled this poorly?

FWIW, I did just send her an email (approx. 1 hour and 45 minutes after interview) saying I really enjoyed our conversation, I learned a lot, thank you for giving me the time and opportunity to interview, and then I finished off by saying please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing back should I be chosen.

Do you think any of my worries from 1 and/or 2 are legitimate and will hurt me?

holy wall of text

Congrats, 67o. I wouldn't worry much about either of those things. People understand that Zoom interviews are weird, so the people walking by should be no issue at all.

I wouldn't tell someone interviewing me that they were out of time, but I don't think it's a big deal, and I think the question was a good one. I just would have worded it slightly differently, like "I think the last question I have right now would be..." Instead of "I can see we're approaching the end time..." Really minor thing, though.

This was pretty much my point. Odd to attribute doubt to one side of the story, but not the other.

It's a slippery slope that can quickly get into the philosophical realm of how can we be certain anything is true.

I'm taking FW's story at face value. It's not like we can verify any of the story anyways.

We could crowd fund a pi

Why?

Thanks, and yikes, I can see how that can be problematic. I'll try not to worry too much about it, but I agree that I should have worded it differently .

Waste of money when I can walk 200 feet and have it for free

Interesting story feelers. Well done. Thank you for being honorary (full fledged now?) Aussie.

Someone needs to get the gossip from eyeball witnesses. Like was he trying to push her out of the way, or was he trying to push her down. And how did she react at the time and during the time he was being told to take a walk.

You could ask him Are you peeping at my cards? just to let him know it's wrong. But if he's a spot don't take it any farther than asking.

No. +1 to what Wing Cmdr MA said. It sounds like a 'fellowship' what will you be doing?

I had take out student loans to learn that

LOL. Imagine thinking feelie would make up a story to poast itt

some of you have too much time on your hands
