Poll of the Day > Are you a big believer in luck?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I suppose this would tie in with the big lotto jackpot cause you'd have to be pretty damn lucky. Are you a big believer in it?

I think we live in a chaotic and wildly unpredictable universe

Good or bad, shit just happens

you're not religious at all?

There's no such thing as luck, only random chance and the human psychological behavior of apophenia.

Yes I believe in luck and although not religious I believe in fate too. Some folk believe you create your own luck and fate but I don't find that to be true for me.

Not really no, I dont discount there being higher powers at work but if there are I doubt we are of any significance if even noticeable

Once a toothless hobo told me to put a penny on the subway track and pick it up after it has been run over and keep it for good luck. I kept it for five years until my wallet got stolen. I figured since it got stolen, probably didn't have much of a good luck aura.

how'd your wallet get stolen? they mugged you?

I don't believe in luck, I think we are on an endless loop. The universe keeps repeating over and over in exactly the same way. Didn't start that way, took an insanely large number of repititions before it got here, but at this point everything happens exactly the same way each time.

So nope, no luck involved at all.

I definitely believe in luck. I have really good luck most of the time. I think I'm alive because of luck, tbh. Though, I think people call it different things. For example, if I explain to most of my family about my luck, they would say that's God's work. I have some friends who would say it's my good Karma. And another who just says that it's because of my own doings or whatnot. I believe in luck the most, though I don't discount a higher power or anything. I just see it more as luck, but I can understand others seeing it as something different...

Not luck, but I do believe in serendipity.
---

I believe that too many people rely on factors of luck or probability, and that so many games are clear time sinks as a result of that factor alone. I also believe that some people do better with these odds than the rest of us, and they're able to skate by despite being any combination of dumb or arrogant.

intellect is a much better stat

In a descriptive hind-sight sort of way. Like getting hit by a car could be called bad luck and winning the lottery could be described as good luck.

Superstititions related to luck are nonsense.

I dont discount this idea but I wonder why so many people think time is an endless loop now. Is it because of rust from true detective lol?

Yes

Maybe it goes "in order" for the first half as the universe expands, then time runs backward and every event undoes itself in reverse as the universe collapses again. The Big Bang becomes the Big Crunch, which then becomes the next Big Bang.

Didn't see true detective but they had an episode that kinda covered it in futerama though my belief predated that, it's just logical.
