Ahhh, so that explains why Hellmuth lives in Palo Alto. You know there are some retarded juicy games going on there and he's probably invited to every one.

I hope they are short stacked freezeouts.

Based on his Tweets about his weekly neighborhood game I think it's mostly 25/50 NL HE

Not enough to rent a garage in Palo Alto.

Guess that busts that theory.

I've considered moving to London or Edinborgho just because I feel more at home around incredibly negative, spiteful, cruel people. Maybe Phil likes Palo Alto because he feels most at home around awful geeks with no social awareness.

I have a theory of why Scots and Brits are so dour and nasty compared to Scandinavians. It goes back to their inherently degenerate temperament.

 

Its always been a running joke that the reason Northern Europeans are so handsome- while those of the British Isles are so ugly- is because the Vikings must've stolen all the best genetics. There is of course evidence that Vikings did take a lot of Celtic women and drop them off in Iceland but the theory doesn't scale. The Vikings weren't kidnapping enough people to alter their entire genetic footprint.

 

If you look at the behaviors of the different civilizations, it becomes clear Northern Europeans have long maintained drastically higher standards for everything than the Brits ever did. Their arts and sciences are top notch, the architecture is neat and this same sentiment is reflective of their genetic imperative; unattractive women are less likely to successfully reproduce in Scandinavia whereas Brits will **** literally anything.

 

That's all 'empire' ever was. Old school rape tourism. They came for the resources but they stayed for the native women. Being the biggest degenerates on earth, Brits have been crapping in their own genetic well since the beginning.

 

Anyway, a thousand years or so of successful rape offspring and the-devil-may-care interbreeding with ugly women who create even uglier children thus constantly lowering the Mendoza Line of fckability in the United Kingdom created a vicious genetic downward spiral where the entire race is now gross to look at. As is always the case, uglier people are angrier people.
