My problem with all the people calling it rigged is this: I've been a poker player for half my life. And in poker you very quickly learn that 1.8% odds of something happening is not the same as 0%.

I like Carmelos game. Especially when he got older and couldn't be as fast as he was. There's something about getting your shot off with no dribbles and nothing the defender can do to stop it.

"Just as someone who has spent a little more time than the average person reading about how specific cues can be manipulated to generate emotional reactions, modified through reactivation and reconsolidation"

Can you elaborate on this. Do you have books or something on this topic.

I have long suspected that it's not good to view media, especially because how it enforces certain behaviours. For example, I think I turned into way too of a sarcastic bastard after watching shows like the blackadder in my youth. Acting like that in real world interactions didn't get me any friends

I assumed it's common knowledge and everybody knows that what is best in life is to crush your enemies, see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of their women.(it's a conan reference spoken to immortality by Arnold).

So yes, there are people who enjoy revenge very much. In fact they say it's the best thing in life.

I can only speak for myself though - maybe there's people who enjoy revenge so much that it makes up for the events for which they take revenge.

What is best in life?

Interesting thing about physical culture. Arnold said that there are no shortcuts. You can only get an impressive body by working for it. But arnold was full of it. You can buy steroids and speedrun to the finish line pretty much. I doubt that Jeff Bezos knows much about lifting yet he looks more jacked than you or me.

I missed out on bitcoin. I'm thinking that the new weight loss drugs are going to hit it big. Even though in a few years when they discover that a major side effect is cancer and death they will go out of popularity.

Anyway, what are the parent companies whose stock I should invest it go get in on the major weight loss drugs success.

I read on this forum some time back that there is a saying in Russia that goes "a man shouldn't be prettier than an ape"

I'm been using the saying, but turns out that it isn't super widespread. I would like to quote it in the original russian. Could some other of our resident Russians tell me how to say it in Russian.
