Gambling every day for decades and still not addicted, what are the odds!
3-1
I’ll put down 100k

“I never gamble. Not in a million years.”
“I bet I can get you to gamble by the end of the day.”
“You’re on!”
“Ha! I don’t know how I’m gonna get you, but I’ll figure something out before the day is over, just you wait.”
So you think I have a gambling problem?
I’ll bet you $100 that I don’t!
My dude needs to get Balatro
When you can break infinity and all the money is imaginary.
Statistically speaking, if nobody you know is a ghost, you’re the ghost.
Guess we’re all ghosts
boo
I don’t understand, please explain
Something a ghost would say…
- Imagine a group of people
- You look around and notice that there are no ghosts in that group of people
- Now you need to check if you are a ghost, which you can’t check
- Therefore, it’s statistically likely that you are a ghost if nobody you know is a ghost
But that would only work under assumption that in any group of people at least one of them has to be a ghost, or at the very least the chance that there is a ghost in a group of people is greater than 0, right? Is it something about the chance of someone being a ghost being truly unknown, and thus all possible values of probability being taken as equally rational, and with infinite number of possible values for probability of someone being a ghost for infinite number of them observing that no one in a group of people you’re in is a ghost… No, that wouldn’t work either, because it would require an assumption that this specific group of people might have a ghost among them. Assuming anyone can be a ghost with unknown probability still only works when the group you’re observing is entire population, does it not? Limiting it to specific group of people relies on it being representative of entire population, and random groups are not. Especially if you were to be a ghost, that would already make a group you’re in rather unique. Or not, depending on what’s the unknown value of probability of someone being a ghost.
I mean, what???
A very toxic industry to be in, I used to be an engineer for a company that looked after slot machines here in the UK. High Street betting shops would regularly get smashed up by people after they lost all their money, but they would just pay us to repair them and let them back a few weeks later because they knew they’d be back. Completely taking advantage of people with a very real problem.
Quitting gambling and smoking is easy. I’ve done it several times already.
Clever title.
How many times can the same content be reposted?
Atleast twice
On lemmy sync (for android) the app reimplements the reddit hide post button. I used it a lot on reddit for this reason and it’s handy here too
that is fake, right?
Classic joke getting chewed by the hivemind into some kind of collective permanent epiphany about how much brighter we all are compared to online strangers.
Missing obvious satire is something we’re even worse about than Reddit.
If you’ve ever dealt with addiction or know someone who has, it’s not obvious. People will go to great lengths to convince themselves they don’t have a problem.
The dude: aww damn it
