Credibility

I used to like love hearts, refreshers, Shebat fountains, etc. But I think they'd make me pretty sick now.

...likewise - used to eat loads of sweets but don't eat any these days. Sherbet Fountains were utterly brilliant!

I gave up a lifetime of sugar on 10 June 2017 - ran out of sugar and just said:

'that's it, no more sugar'

I’ve noticed things seem calmer now. Reversion to the mean. Time to sell bickering and buy harmony?

Actually this is a bit boring now, can we go back to bickering please?

Hold my beer, I've got this.

I propose love hearts so one can express ones feelings, and share the love. And, I'm being serious, no clickbait attached ....

We're mainly men on hear and someone might get the wrong idea.

[Euler]

Post like/emoji type thing would work well, seems pretty basic? PC validation would be a nightmare...

I also think a few meetups will stop the bickering, Peter?

Yeah, was heading in that direction before the pandemic hit.

As long as you remember you can't win arguments against mods, you're either <banned> or wrong

For the interests of inclusion I have awarded Kai FIVE hearts. Sadly Dex, you lost one for not recognising the comment as Banta. So, you need to redeem yourself, somewhat

Topless?? I see what you did there you post-editing horndog, trying to frame a mostly innocent poster. I would never stoop so low as to edit someone's posts!

When I was 26 and dating a 55 year old woman she kept saying she would kick me out onto the street to get a proper job because no one makes money from betting/trading

You need to remember that when a mature person says ""no one makes money...." they don't mean nobody, it's just a kinder way of saying you won't. Anyone with kids has been there in some way at one time or another. And so far it looks like she was right?

Thing is you claim to have an understanding of probability but at such a young age you want to put all your eggs in a basket that has an extremely thin chance of success. If you fail you could end up virtually unemployable, condemmed to low paid jobs, and if you do suceeed but only make a good wage rather than a great wage you won't be able to get a mortgage, car loans etc. A 100/1 gamble at this stage in your life is bold, that's why so many of us wait until we're sorted and then take some life gambles.
