I lol'd when I first read this, and then it occurred to me: I hope you mean there's two guys working one pawn shop and one in the other, otherwise that's a lot of monotesticled guys in the pawning field.Two pawnshops?

Except if those numbers win, you would be sharing the prize with every other uncreative person who picked them. If you're going to pick numbers, pick ones that no one else will. It's the same odds of winning, but with greater odds of getting the whole pot.I am not your girlfriend's brother, but that is the exact same argument I use when explaining how the lottery works to people.
Me: "Would you pick 1-2-3-4-5-6 to win?"
Them: "Of course not! What're the odds those numbers would win?"
Me: "Um, exactly the same as any other combination, actually."
Them: "..."

When I feel like playing, I will usually buy two tickets, with my rationale being that buying that second ticket maximizes my odds of winning at minimal additional expense. To me, no additional ticket beyond the second increases the odds enough to be worth the expense.When I get one the girl behind the counter always says, "Just one?" to which I reply, "One ticket greatly increases my odds to win, but two or more do not."
Well, yes, but his point isn't actually that you should pick those numbers, he says if you're not willing to pick those numbers, then you should see the psychological barrier to accepting they are perfectly reasonable numbers to pick, which ought to illustrate why you shouldn't buy lottery tickets - on the basis that you buy them to win, of course, and not just for fun, obviously. I don't think he actually cares whether people buy them. I just liked the quip.Except if those numbers win, you would be sharing the prize with every other uncreative person who picked them.

On a scale of Gates McFadden--Karen Gillian--Poison Ivy, what shade of red are we talking?The deed is done! Made an appointment next week to get my hair dyed. I've been wanting this since...high school. Holy, that's 9 years guys! I'm shaking, I'm so excited! Red hair, here I come!
Karen Gillian-esque? Mine will be a more saturated red, with cool undertones, but out of those three Karen's is the closest to what I'm going for.On a scale of Gates McFadden--Karen Gillian--Poison Ivy, what shade of red are we talking?

Of course!There will be before and after pictures, yes?
I don't see it.Whoa, I'm hoping the dye doesn't do that to your lips. That looks painful.

Okay, one, wow she's beautiful.Karen Gillian-esque? Mine will be a more saturated red, with cool undertones, but out of those three Karen's is the closest to what I'm going for.
This is my hair-spiration pic, so something like this.
HNNN, I'm so excited!! [DOUBLEPOST=1397147238,1397147207][/DOUBLEPOST]
Of course!
I've been following the attempts of a guy trying to fight a jaywalking ticket he got in LA for jaywalking in an intersection at 2AM when there was no traffic -- meanwhile, literally two blocks away, the same time that night, a man was stabbed to death.Listening to Matt Taibi's new book, The Divide. Holy shit, don't be black and get arrested in New York. Farked up. I've never heard anything so insane as the wide nets being thrown to arrest people doing nothing wrong. One man was arrested in front of his building after coming home from work, wearing his work uniform, for 'blocking pedestrians' at 1:00 a.m.
There is a serious problem with our system. While serious crime is down, that looks bad for those looking to advance in police departments. The whole thing is driven by numbers, being tough on crime. This leads to nuisance cases, crap like jaywalking, loitering, etc. All of this is in poor neighborhoods, sounding like a weird war on poor people. It's just disturbing.Okay, one, wow she's beautiful.
Two, red hair is the best.
Three, my girlfriend hates red hair, and once told me she'd sooner shave it all off or dye it blue than dye her hair red.[DOUBLEPOST=1397150694][/DOUBLEPOST]

I don't know that he can win since he's admitted he was jaywalking, but damn if that doesn't slap the police to pay some attention to real fucking problems.
Odd... I made that exact same sound at that picture...
HNNN, I'm so excited!!
She doesn't know what she's missing.my girlfriend hates red hair, and once told me she'd sooner shave it all off or dye it blue than dye her hair red.
Me too.My girlfriend has beautiful auburn hair, and I still just stop and stare at it sometimes.
You also stare at Tress' girlfriend's hair?Me too.
Me too.

Why can't the answer be "both"?Unless she suffered terrible brain damage, she's a douchebag.
I don't know... I think a douchebag has to at least have the intelligence to decide to be a douchebag. Therein lies the douchiness. They know better, but it's easier to just be an enormous bother.Why can't the answer be "both"?
She must not because I'dShe doesn't know what she's missing.
Ewwww! Clean that up!Literally no idea how to fix that, so I'll just leave the evidence of my shame there.
Mm, although ignorance isn't always an excuse.I don't know... I think a douchebag has to at least have the intelligence to decide to be a douchebag. Therein lies the douchiness. They know better, but it's easier to just be an enormous bother.
