I played Blackjack at a casino exactly once.  It didn't matter what number I got, the dealer would get one more than me, and would build it out of multiple low cards.  I'd get 20, she'd get 21.  I'd get 21, she'd either get 21 or blackjack.  Every.  Single.  Time.  I didn't even win one hand.  I'm 99% sure she was cheating.  Haven't gone back to a casino since, and that was almost 20 years ago.

You and me should be hired as coolers in Las Vegas.  LOL.  

It isn't about the money.  When I go to the casino, I fully intend to lose whatever money I brought.  But I want to have fun.  Maybe I go up 80 dollars and let it ride, and lose it in a ridiculously stupid way, that is fun.  Giving the dealer 200 dollars in 5 dollar increments every 2 or so minutes isn't fun.

This is why I dedicate a particular day of the week to get drunk AF. I too have to pee in a cup. 

BTW, has anyone else out there tried the Yuengling Hershey Porter? I know you can't find Yuengling west of Appalachia, but I know not everyone here lives west of Appalachia...

Hmm...

Is it worth trying if I don't like beer in general?  I live in Appalachia so I'm sure it's here.

If I was ever being tortured, I feel like I could hold up under pain more than most.  Waterboarding I don't know, I might not do great at that, but I feel like I could hold out ABOVE AVERAGE at least.

But... If they just cut a hole in my socks and pulled one toe out of it just so my toe is sticking out of my sock, I would tell them anything they wanted to know.

I have never smoked marijuana in my life.  That's how I keep my calm and easygoing demeanor. 

I might have believed you until I read that post above

I read that the US used to waterboard trainees just so they knew what it was like and wouldn't break under questioning, but discontinued because it was terrible for morale - EVERYONE broke, and broke quickly. 

Myself, I'd defeat torture by telling them so much of dubious provenance that they'd be like "man, forget it, we can't trust a thing this guy says"
