mircea_popescu: (ref: "[Announcer] Eric Seidel cannot win this hand, and yet he doesn't know it. Chan is trying to sucker him in by taking his time. Oh, look at that look of the defending champ.")
mircea_popescu: such a great time, clinton was president, the "indomitable" deficit reigned in, the wall down, floods of prime eeuro pussy everwhere...
mircea_popescu: the pinnacle of this being that scene immortalized by rounders, possibly the forever best scene of all poker since it's going out as someone was pointing out here recently.
mircea_popescu: then the actual experts feed them patterns and reel them in - which is why expert can play for twenty hours and slowly rake a room 5% at a time.
mircea_popescu: yeah. that's the whole thing with poker, the lowest level play "for fun". then the "experts" in their own narrow social circle read up on statistics once and vaguely recall the probabilities.

mircea_popescu: if i want to know who the president is, by that token i'm retarded. if i actually need to google "funny pics" to have a laugh, idem.
mircea_popescu: the simple fact is that the sphere has shattered into shattered shards. i go into detail somewhere, but too lazy to dig it up, so let's rehash briefly : who the fuck would need google to find his way to something of interest today, and what's it say about them if they found it by google ?
mircea_popescu: either that or the cowsies no longer congregate there.

mircea_popescu: in my case, there was a sudden scent of nice pot roast, and then ohshit.jpg
