Cool Shit We're Doing Thread

I'm a cog in the huge machine that needs to run in order to provide bread.

Whatever makes you feel like a big boy, go with it.

What did you think before?

You made it sound like you were in the very top tier of this company.

I wasn't bragging about it. Some uppity monkey started running the prolapsed asshole he calls a mouth talking about how great his job is as lab-bitch, and how he fondly reflects on all the smiles he's caused during his bus-ride home at night. I'm merely pointing out, that a person can find value in a profession that doesn't involve playing with toys all day.

Hmm, I read his post too and just saw it as a guy who liked his job. I was kind of happy for him, frankly.

Interesting though how you took it as a personal affront that someone else in the world was happy and saw the need to try to drag them down to your level of misery. It's pretty pathetic really.

And there are ALOT of buttons. That's like telling a pilot "all you do is flick switches and sit on your ass"

Actually, that's what most of them do.

Well you seem to be supremely confident that $40/hour isn't worth my time.

I assumed you made an income commensurate with your claimed IQ. My mistake.

Yeah, $40/hour is good money. Do you not agree?

Not really, no. But then again I have a social life.

Life

That must look great on your CV. So you became a finance officer with no formal training? Not even Concord Technical College?

So a hobby that generates $40/hour is a sad and pathetic use of free time?

Depends what your hobby is. Hanging out with loser degens in a dingy casino is about two steps above selling crack when it comes to good uses of my time imo.

How much does one make being a douchebag demagogue on the internet?

Whatever your company pays you I guess.

Does your mom count as a friend?

Why, do you want a 75 year old woman as your friend? Seems really desperate.

I mean, I spend a lot of time with her, but I wouldn't say there's any respect there.

She doesn't respect you either huh?

Actually I do. And it's negligible. Lets say you raise to 5BB's and get called by a player with a range of 300 hands. He will call on the flop with only his best holdings, or about 50 hands. You bet half pot on the flop.

Now tell me all about variance buddy. How many hands would I have to play like this for there to be even a 10% chance that I go on even a 100BB downswing? It's virtually impossible!!


Why does sample size even matter?????

There is $30 in the pot. You bet $15. Your opponent folds 75% of the time. What sample size would you need in order to have 100% confidence that the hand is +EV? Serious question, how many times would you have to see that work before you could say definitively that it's a profitable play? What's the requisite sample size??

It doesn't. There's no such thing as variance. Or if there is, it only affects everyone else and not you. Don't worry about it.

Whatever makes you feel like a big boy, go with it..

It's definitely not playing with toys.

You made it sound like you were in the very top tier of this company.

Nope. I don't even technically work for the company that I participate in operating.

Hmm, I read his post too and just saw it as a guy who liked his job. I was kind of happy for him, frankly.

Maybe read the few posts before it.

Interesting though how you took it as a personal affront

He concluded the post with "you wish you had my job satisfaction".

someone else in the world was happy and saw the need to try to drag them down to your level of misery. It's pretty pathetic really.

Knocking someone off their high-horse. Totally different.

Actually, that's what most of them do

Wow, apparently high complex cognitive tasks are trivial to you. How is it that you came to choose pseudo-science as a profession? I mean, certainly your intellect could have been better applied to something actually productive.

I assumed you made an income commensurate with your claimed IQ.

I think I do.

That must look great on your CV. So you became a finance officer with no formal training? Not even Concord Technical College?

I have a BS in Accounting.

Hanging out with loser degens in a dingy casino is about two steps above selling crack when it comes to good uses of my time imo.

You say "hanging out", I say "exploiting for cash". I find the sadism to be quite fulfilling and amusing. Maybe that's not for everybody. I get that. The nature of the game doesn't lend itself well to cuck-pussies.

Why, do you want a 75 year old woman as your friend? Seems really desperate.

I didn't say we're friends

She doesn't respect you either huh?

Apparently she doesn't respect herself. Makes a person wonder what circumstances produced you.

It doesn't.

Finally you're making sense

[Poopadoop]

It's definitely not playing with toys.

No it's pushing buttons and looking at spreadsheest. Much more fulfilling.

He concluded the post with "you wish you had my job satisfaction".

I seem to recall it involved you telling him first he had a shit job, then him responding about why he loves his job, and then you pulled out your 'big guns' about how you use Excel on a daily basis.

Knocking someone off their high-horse.

Only one person in that conversation ever got on a high horse and it wasn't MMM.

Wow, apparently high complex cognitive tasks are trivial to you.

Some are, but you would know that if you had the IQ you claim to have.

How is it that you came to choose pseudo-science as a profession? I mean, certainly your intellect could have been better applied to something actually productive.

Interested in the brain and how it controls movement, and statistics. My work contributes to understanding things like Parkinson's and strokes. Not as rewarding as what you do, because only sometimes do I get to use Excel. But still, I like it and that's enough for me.

Way to reach your potential, Einstein.

You say "hanging out", I say "exploiting for cash". I find the sadism to be quite fulfilling and amusing. Maybe that's not for everybody. I get that. The nature of the game doesn't lend itself well to cuck-pussies.

Ok, so you make more money and see more suffering than in your other hobby-job of being a dick to people for their (and I assume your) sexual gratification. I understand now.

I didn't say we're friends

No-one would believe you if you did call someone a friend.

Apparently she doesn't respect herself.

She does, and she respects other people too. She's a great person.

Makes a person wonder what kind of unholy union produce you.

I'd be interested in knowing what your parents are like too. Must have been a real happy upbringing you had to make you such a beacon of positive energy in this world.

I seem to recall it involved you telling him first he had a shit job,

No, I told him that I mistakenly believed he actually had a better job. I never impugned his actual job at all.....til he got on his high horse about it.

Well he didn't. You did. You acted like you practically ran the company, like if you made one mistake the whole thing would go under and 1400 families would starve. Turns out you're actually just a finance guy who clicks buttons in Excel, using his overwhelming IQ.

So Marty McFly is cured now? No? Ok, keep sucking up air that the rest of us could be using

I'll take all the air I need.
