LOL, that's funny. Sorry, it's not really funny, but I can sympathize. When I was near Cebu City, the power would go out about once a month. Sometimes it was a scheduled outage because they didn't have enough power to go around.

I quit playing SNGs (I played them for most of my living between 2003 and 2008) and converted to cash games due to one outage. I was playing four high-dollar (for me) satellites and BOOM out goes the power.

I had a short-life backup battery (was using a desktop). and one definite cash, two "sure" cashes, and one hopeful cash went up in smoke. All had only one to three players left to be eliminated and I had great chip position or better in three of them.

Sorry, that's my bad beat story.

It turned out to be a good thing, as cash is much more engaging and there is a lot more to learn.

Am I some massive scumbag for judging old westerners by their clothes. Jfc, wtf are half the people wearing, they all look so **** and embarrasing. I feel scummy but I can't help it. Do Filipinos actually find these 35+ attractive? Surely not

Who the **** wears bright green shorts and matching polo with running shoes. Fk.

This is bothering way more than it should

This thread is 20% aids infested derails where k2d gets into dumb arguments with other posters. After it stops k2d keeps putting in these sly digs to try and start it all again. It's horrible posting.

See? Now if I responded to him I'd be giving him what he wants. Instead, here's a picture of a hot Asian and a cute puppy.

You call him out for sly digs to restart arguements... you do realise that is exactly what you have just done? It obviously isnt going to be just 1 line is it... he will reply... then you will reply. It's hard for you to position yourself above him when youre doing exactly what youre accusing him of.

But you did reply, there is clearly a subtle dig in there.

and why he thinks "what i want" is to argue with him over my posting skills or whatever he thinks the argument would be over...........

Nah, still no reasons for me not to like it. I'll be back there for another month in mid February.

Haha, in the city where I stayed, there was an 80+year old man who wore bright pinks JEANS. One of my homophobic 'acquaintances' always got mad when he saw the guy and talked about how gay he was.

To his credit, the guy had a cute young girlfriend.

But yeah, some of the guys need to bring their mothers with them to the Philippines to help them dress.

Filipinos don't think so much about "bright green shorts and matching polo". However, if you wear a tank top you will likely be considered a "dirty American." (No matter that you are not American, LOL) Not as critical, but shorts should also come down to your knee or lower. (That's a dress code I break...I hate long athletic shorts.)

Heterosexual men still don't care about clothes. At least not clothes worn by other men. Do you sit around all day looking at what other men are wearing? Sorry you and all your friends are benders. Most normal guys literally wouldn't notice if the guy next to them was wearing an ISIS shirt.
