I just don’t think romcoms work as theater-released movies anymore. They’ve been overly proliferated through so many other mediums in the last few decades that you can essentially get your romcom fill without leaving your house and dropping $15-$20 on a movie ticket.

Also, having the fundamental theme of the movie…

In all fairness, J4 in the context of that board is a junk hand, regardless of whether it was winning versus Adelstein’s.

It’s off-suit, so only a backdoor flush draw for a weak J. Only a backdoor draw to a straight that likely loses to a bunch of potential hands that Adelstein would play, or at best splits the pot,…

Even that line of thought is super thin though, she does check her cards again before calling, and even if she had 10s and 3s it would be a tough call. Depending on how she looked at her cards there’s a very small chance she thought she had AJ, but that wouldn’t have made sense with how she played it either.

To be fair, they’re in a casino and cameras are everywhere.

Sure there’s the physical power dynamics of Adelstein being a man and Lew being a woman, but of all of the places where someone could be threatened and be reasonably assured of protection and video evidence that could corroborate the claim of harassment in a…

In short you don’t call not because of 100% convinced he is bluffing, but because a garbage hand isn’t worth putting more money out for it. I just think she doesn’t know the game well enough to understand that was a dumb move which happened to work out. I think its really that simple.

Depends on how she was cheating.

Assuming that the goal of any cheater in poker is to extract the most value, there were only so many options that Lew had that could both keep Adelstein in the hand, and get more money out of him.

If she’s too aggressive on the flop or the turn, even with his myriad of possible winning…

That depends on the type of construction, and more specifically, when the home was built.

Newer construction of raised houses include concrete, cement, and/or metal reinforcement specifically for hurricanes. In fact, in certain parts of Florida, you can’t even get hurricane insurance if you don’t have a house built to…

The problem with hurricanes that hit Florida (I’m a Tampa native) is that far too many people think that it won’t hit them, and even if it does, they’ll be alright. They also think that the worst place to be is under the eye of the hurricane, when in reality that’s one of the safer areas, relative to just outside the…

Thank you for the additional information. I’ll ask this (since I don’t know the results of the tournament).

Was Niemann knocked out before or after the new security implementations were instituted? Even if he was knocked out after, that’s a bit of a post hoc fallacy because there’s still nothing conclusively showing…

Also, why is everyone so obsessed with these D List celeb affairs?

Seems like this has raised a bigger stink.

Magnus (and the other competitors) presumably know both who is gonna be in the tournament, as well as their seeding, prior to the tournament taking place.

If Magnus had such a great issue with playing against a cheater (or having a cheater in the tournament at all), why not make a stink about it prior to playing?…

Very true.

However, I do think that much of this current issue is due to the promotional efforts of the studio behind the movie (along with the powers-that-be behind Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde in particular).

They have been ginning up so much attention towards this movie (and specifically Harry and Olivia) that it’s…

Add in George Clooney punching David O. Russell on the set of Three Kings, or pretty much the entire cast against James Cameron on The Abyss.

Granted, those happened pre-social media, but given those blowups were far more serious (Ed Harris also punched James Cameron), they’d certainly get a lot of press if happened…

GTA IV had the ability to have your directions be given verbally, but I don’t think you had the option to remove the minimap directional line (granted, I may be wrong about that since it’s been a few years since I played IV).

Unfortunately, there’s almost no good way to make it work, particularly when it comes to…

Do you realize how many racists justify their racism by pointing to their sexual proclivities (and in particular a significant other) as proof that they aren’t racist.

“Viola’s General Nanisca takes it upon herself to tell the king that they need to take action now before the colonizers continue enslaving and destroying their people.”

The imperative part of that statement is “their people”, literally meaning fellow Agojie (or their fellow Fon within Dahomey).

The concept of being…

You’re absolutely right.

I have a friend who is a Britney superfan (seen her multiple times, taken pictures at meet and greets, literally his favorite artist of all time), and he has always said that she’s loopier than a box of cereal and doesn’t really function highly as an independent adult.

It’s very easy for people…

Three problems with this.

1. The price of Bitcoin fluctuates, so it’s quite possible that the $1k or so in Bitcoin could, relatively quickly, become only $750 worth of Bitcoin in the near term. One must note that there’s also a significant upside available, but given how quickly economic circumstances can change in…

How someone in her position, presumably with a team of people whose job it is to manage her life, gets to this state I don’t know. Really sad.
