There's no way in hell anyone could make a long-term running profit off of scratch tickets. Those things are a scam, and they're not gameable no matter how Rain-Man you are about it. I worked in a convenience store, and you'd always see people come in, buy $100 worth of $10 tickets, win $20 off of one of them, use it to buy two more of the same ticket, win $5 off one of those, buy a $5 ticket with it, get nothing off that one, and go home with nothing. He was probably either playing a shitload of high-stakes poker or counting cards at blackjack.
Any opportunity to post this great Wired piece about a guy who did so is a good opportunity.

...even if he didn't get lucky, he just literally broke their bad randomization and also exploited my favorite flaw:

quote:

“Lots of people buy lottery tickets in bulk to give away as prizes for contests,” he says. He asked several Toronto retailers if they would object to him buying tickets and then exchanging the unused, unscratched tickets. “Everybody said that would be totally fine. Nobody was even a tiny bit suspicious,” he says. “Why not? Because they all assumed the games are unbreakable.”

edit: rather more accurately, he could have done so but didn't, but as penance here's an even cooler article about Russian mobs manipulating slot machine PRNG.

Yeah I got this issue, but I just do it on a small section the right side of my neck under the chin. I shave fairly regularly so it's not really noticeable unless someone knew exactly where to look and got close enough. Sometimes I like to get as close a shave as possible then pluck out the stubborn remainers with some tweezers. So satisfying. However I do have the problem of touching the plucked hair off my upper lip before flicking it away. Don't know why I do that.

How the hell do you and your wife even get "intimate" with each other at 320 pounds apiece, short of masturbating each other? Do friends hold your panniculi out of the way so you can have intercourse? Are your bed's boxsprings made of solid steel to keep them from breaking?

I'm a healthy twenty-seven year old with a high libido who gets incredibly nervous before sex. My wife is attractive, our marriage is good, and we have good sex. If I know we're going to, I just feel sick to my stomach and anxious. I don't understand it.

As soon as we start, I'm fine. The idea of being anxious is laughable at that point and for the rest of the night. Cue tomorrow and I'm anxious again. There's no basis for it though. We have good sex, I know what I'm doing, she knows what she's doing, etc. I can't figure it out.

I've only done it a few times but I've been so nervous in the past that I've faked a stomachache to get out of it despite being turned on and wanting it. It's so disappointing when the "window of opportunity" closes (as in she goes to sleep) and I realize I could have initiated it. Every time, I feel like a scared virgin.

We still have a good sex life though. It just sucks that my evenings are filled with sexual anxiety for no reason.

quote:

My confession is that my tinder fling with a woman 12 years my senior has turned into a serious and long lasting relationship of one and a half years. The catch is that she lives in Korea, and has been flying me back and forth every month or two that whole time.

Somehow the cool trips to Asia to bang out the hot corporate exec lady switched from being something I bragged to my frat brothers about into a really sappy, romantic and positive, if long distance, relationship.

Now I guess the plan is for me to find a job there that isn't teaching English and she'd help me buy a studio in her swanky rich people neighborhood. Which would be a super cool transformative life experience to have at 27, but the plan to start a life with the 39 year old busy single mom who *probably* can't have healthy children anymore might not work out so well in the long term.

I don't know if anyone's interested in any of the other funny details of my story, but if any of you goons have found success dating older women I'd love to hear about it. or just make fun of me, that'd be pretty cool too, lol.

important question: do you speak Korean

If not you might want to consider teaching English, it'd be a pretty good way to pick it up.

Hey I know polygamy came up like 10 pages ago but I just wanted to chime in and say monogamy is a pretty recent development in terms of Human relationships and if you're like me and got stuck with 2 lovely uneducated idiot parents, I can definitely see how an alternative could be potentially preferable. Plus any mono relationship is going to devolve into a loveless, routine mess no matter how long it goes for.

That said the only poly couple I know are the grossest people I've ever had the misfortune of meeting. They're married and have 2 daughters and like 5 other partners each. The wife is a 500 ton land whale and her husband looks like a Viking, which feels appropriate. They got me high and tried to persuade me into joining their weird political cult. That's my non-anon confession hope u liked it

Sorry for the bad lighting, most of the lightbulbs are burned out.

I almost never clean, and when I do it's just trash and laundry. Generally I'll only be motivated to clean my house when walking around gets hard, and I'll do as little as possible to make walking around less hard. It's kind of a pattern everywhere, where the gap between thinking "I should do [x]" and actually doing [x] is really long, and the threshold for actually inducing me to act is way bigger than most people's. I don't know what that is but whatever.

I DO have extremely bad ADHD (I filled out some paperwork for my psychiatrist and she said "even the way you filled this out is diagnostic") but this seems like... more than that?

They sent the pictures as attachments; I put them in an Imgur album for you. Enjoy!

I lost nearly 14 thousand dollars last night thanks for the Falcons blowing the game.

That was my wife and I's entire savings, literally every penny. I thought the Falcons winning was a sure thing and bet it all, convinced I had discovered the secret to financial security.

I haven't told my wife yet but I'm sure she'll find out soon. She probably suspected something when I started vomiting during the 4th quarter and blamed it on some bad nacho cheese.

My only hope right now is somehow it's discovered that the Patriots cheated and the game is forfeited, but I don't think that's very likely and I don't think I'd get the money back anyway considering the slightly shady channels I went through for the bet.

In short, I think Tom Brady just cost me my marriage and possibly much much more.

My new avatar might be considered "in poor taste" in the context of this confession, but let me just say this: you come at the king, you best not miss.

The only time I've ever bet on football was when I happened to be in Las Vegas for the Pats' playoff game against the Texans a few years ago. It's harder than watching a normal playoff football game because they have to cover the spread, meaning that when your team is favored to win by ten points and they're currently only winning by seven points, you're still stressed out. Felt nice when they won, though. :unsmith:

Honestly, it's not too bad. You could clean up the whole place in just a few hours. Spend some time on the weekend and clean up a little bit.

BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE CLEAN YOUR TOILET BOWL. gently caress, that's disgusting.

To the goon who just ruined his life:

Did you make a bet on the Falcons winning before the game? Or did you make an in-game bet once the Falcons were up big? The second one couldn't have paid out too great, so I fail to see how it was the secret to financial security. What would you have won ~$5,000 profit if they won?

It might have made sense if you were a huge Falcons homer who drank a poo poo-ton of Falcons Kool-Aid (spiked generously with 151), but even the TFF goons who hate the Patriots with the fire of a thousand suns and were rooting against them out of pure spite had eventually reached a consensus on "the Pats will probably win though because HAIL SATAN"

My GF is just another nerd with a middle class job but she's 9 years older than me and we met when I was 25. About 10 years in honestly the age thing didn't really come up much. Only thing I can really think of is yeah sometimes she is the older & wiser person so I have to go ok yeah maybe I don't know better. By that point in my life though I had finished growing up (in hindsight obviously) and we were on pretty equal footing. Plus like you it wasn't a serious thing for a while it was both of us getting easy sex and having fun then grudgingly turned into sappy love stuff. Now we have a house and a dog, which years later is loving funny given our attitudes about "ew love."

She's hardly the only older woman I was with for an extended time and it was a lot of the same sex and hanging out without all the drama. Thinking back on it I guess the main difference was I was much younger at that point and getting all serious was something I simply wasn't ready for. Either of the two I had been with before I could have ended up with if I had met them later. So I'd say right place right time makes this sort of thing work.

Screw having kids and if she's like most 40yo women I know she's going to try to kill you via sexual exhaustion so learn Korean and live it up with ms has lots of money.

I am all for forgiving him regardless, forgiveness is healthy and good, but you can't make a relationship work with someone who goes behind your back, empties your life savings, and gambles it into nothing in one night.

And I mean, what are you expecting him to learn from this? "Gosh, I really shouldn't gamble away all my earthly possessions"? If someone hasn't figured that out by the time they have five figures in savings, they're probably a lost cause.
