    At that point the gambling is mostly gone, too.

    Interesting, I suppose if you take it to mean the hand that wins, then any hand could be considered the best if it wins. That's not what I'm talking about, that would not even make sense in the context of how that could possibly relate to this scenario. During game play and when you're either limping in, raising, checking or folding based on what cards you hold. It's easy to see if you have what would be considered the best hand (in hold'em) and raise heavily... except there are two others with basically the same best hand. Then you end up splitting it three ways and I have often been a party to just that.

    I had no idea anyone could jump to that conclusion on the simple basis that "At that point the gambling is mostly gone, too." makes it irrelevant. Saying the best hand is the one that wins, is such an obvious given at the end... It never even crossed my mind that anyone would not understand that the entire comment was to be taken as a single context. The way you saw it, doesn't make sense at all and most can at least maintain a sense continuity. It just makes everything flow together, rather than just throwing in a statement that is only relatable in stretch.

    So, thank you for stating the obvious for me and I will try to do something about things that people find confusing. Though, I have no clue on exactly just how... Perhaps you can offer a better way of getting my intended meaning out a bit more clearly.

  2. Ya gotta love it! on Short-Sellers Sue Tesla After Musk's 'Going Private' Tweets (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    Just can't stop thinking about how this played out... Musk: "I've been thinking about taking Tesla private" (yeah, if I could afford it.) andd... the stock price jumps for a bit and the short-sellers get thrown off. Ya know, every now and then we get dealt a really kick-ass hand and raise. Then that fool over there raises you and you're like "Yes!" next thing ya know you're all in. There was a reason they kept up with ya and you're left like... wtf Seriously? When you gamble even with the best hand you may just end up splitting the pot... Talk about some sore losers. Their like "What? You bluffed and we folded... Nope, nope we want our money back!" what a joke.

  3. Perhaps it's just a physicall biased perspective. on Women Die More From Heart Attacks Than Men -- Unless the ER Doc Is Female (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    Personally, I think that even though Men and Women aren't that different, that slight difference can make a huge difference in our perspectives. I can't relate to something that I'm physically incapable and I'm sure it works both ways. I'm just throwing out a thought here, but if how we communicate with each other is influenced by our physical differences. I know that women can offer me insights on this that I tend to miss, dismiss or find irrelevant. Women can point these things out to me and justify them enough for me to accept. It may be that we are really listening to each other and it just that what was said went right over our head.

  4. B12 people B12 on Should Plant-Based Meat Replace Beef Completely? (pbs.org) · · Score: 1

    Unless you want to pop pills for the rest of your life to get the vitamins that your brain needs to function properly. This vegan stuff as being the natural order of human beings needs to face reality. Though, when you see what B12 deprivation causes to a person's mental state, it explains a lot about the irrational fallacy that vegans are prone to and their obsession with delusions of grandeur. No there is no such thing as a "meat" substitute, it will always lead to a lack of B12 and the serious repercussions that alone will do to anyone's ability to think clearly.

  5. Idiotic Thoughts! on PayPal Pulls North Carolina Plan After Transgender Bathroom Law (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Considering that most people that respond will go with the "political correct" response what do we truly know what people think. Censorship is so strong now days you will only see what the media wants you to see... So basically follow along with whatever they want you to think, how dare you think for yourself! Yeah, you misogynist racist bastard! If you want to love and have sex with ath a rock then go for it, how dare us for thinking you odd!

  6. PayPal pulls North Carolina Jobs on PayPal Pulls North Carolina Plan After Transgender Bathroom Law (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously, this is a completely a what the f*ck moment! I personally think this is just an attempt by some women to have unisex restrooms. There are so many pervs out there that make this entire thing point mute. I believe they are just sick and tired of those long ass lines to a women's restroom and want to use ours by making them all unisex. (hey, I don't blame them, I sure as hell would too if I had to go really bad and kept looking at the "no-lines" to the men's restrooms). Just a logical way to see things from another's perspective. I mean come on how in the hell is this even enforceable? If a transgendered person looks like the gender they feel they identify with, is there going to be a designated gender inspector at the door going "Show me the goods, or you're going to jail!"
