Guys if you want intel on your #WSOP table draw I got you

The full episode of my podcast with @jaredalderman is out! It’s a deep dive into the mental game: the struggle of getting out of your own way, turning cognitive biases into advantages, and much more

Good times @WSOP

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

Have the best table at the @WSOP ladies event. One woman asks if the whole table will do shots, older woman says she can’t partake in alcohol, it makes her too sleepy. Offers to do a bump of cocaine instead to join in. #ladylike

@Crypto_Chase Why does he need to be bailed out? ~1.7b of selling pressure per year should truly not matter to the market (it’s more about the pristine narrative being shattered, but smart money should recognize the dislocation between that and the practical reality of the supply)

Sex distribution in poker (and other risk arenas) comes up a lot. Interesting further reading:

It's a perfectly reasonable question. Why AREN'T there more women playing poker? Professional player @melanieweisner and Hall of Famer @RealKidPoker take us through their thoughts.

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

Have you even read the material you’re quoting?

“The Pinochet regime in Chile used a dog to rape political prisoners.” No they did not.

Truth commissions & survivor accounts state that dogs were used for sexual humiliation (mounting, terror). Victims explicitly said “mercifully, there was no penetration.” There are zero primary sources that say otherwise and zero forensic confirmation otherwise.

“Peer-reviewed medical literature documents rectal injuries caused by canine penetration.”

This was human-initiated bestiality, not trained dogs acting on command in a controlled setting.

Multiple canine behaviorists and professional trainers have stated it is biologically and behaviorally implausible to train animals for this.

This claim has zero verified precedent in history or veterinary science. The Chile example and medical papers are being manipulated to imply something they don’t actually document.

This is grotesque and shameful, and the fact that anyone actually needs to bend over backwards to explain why is even worse.

This cover is the obvious spot for Iran to TP

@NotSpewheb Just another peace loving humanitarian who only wants the best for people across the world 😍

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

This isn't the smoking gun you think it is, @JT_Media. Even if that was the case, which it absolutely isnt as Nic has said, it implies that the only reason Americans would ever care about "humanity" (the entire crux of the moral grandstanding for gaza) is if we pay for it. And no such person would ever admit that their moral conscience is conditional on money.,

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

No, the implication is not that all Palestinians are legitimate targets. That literally has nothing to do with anything I was saying. Appropriately characterizing those who want to kill you is not implying that. The implication is: listen when people tell you who they are. When Palestinian economic society is inextricable from being paid handsomely to slay Jews, when children’s tv shows are promoting martyrdom, when mothers far and wide express that their ultimate desire is for their children to die while killing Jews, when leadership over literal decades tell you the same thing: listen.

Stop infantilizing Palestinians. There are obviously decent individuals but the majority do not want peace, do want a Judenfrei Palestine, and regardless of who “wants to partake in murder,” which is useless speculation and which no one could possibly say unless you could read minds, they do SUPPORT it, as a matter of polling data, and evangelize it, as a matter of public rhetoric.

Why don’t you go through the links I sent, one by one, and actually watch them? See if you change your mind on anything. Actually read the words from the woman who was treated in Israeli hospitals then came back to blow up the children in them. Read how Palestinian society lauded her efforts. Read how the murderers who blew up buses full of kids are honored as heros in Gaza. Then perhaps we can have a conversation about who wants what

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

You actually cannot, because we’re not talking about fringe lunatics here. I didn’t show you a video of randoms. I showed you an extensive compilation of quotes from MANY different leaders of state, children’s tv shows, news programs, field interviews. You didn’t respond to any of them, didn’t respond to horror show suicide bombing data showing why Israel must have strict border control, and just moved on to motte-and-bailey questions like “so you think everyone is evil” to try to bait me into dehumanization.

It is not dehumanizing nor is it false to call out the alarming, widespread support for genocidal leadership (literal genocidal language in their charter) and the cultural glorification of suicide attacks. It is widely understood that the highest honor is martyrdom/to die while to killing Jews. There is no such equivalent in Israeli society, no glorification of death, no pay-to-slay programs. Find me an Israeli children’s show that promotes sacrificing yourself to kill the enemy, lmao.

I don’t know how many times I have to say it. While obviously impossible to say if most people’s “goal” is to kill others, it is certainly much higher probability when the culture evangelizes this as glory. If you cannot understand what I’m saying there is no further way to explain it to you.

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

@Gugugaga18786 @academic_la Life goal? Can’t possibly say. Highest cultural honor to be a martyr? Absolutely, from their own mouths. Now please address all the points I specifically asked you to address or this will be the end of the conversation .

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

As far as genocidal, their elected government's charter is literally genocidal. While there havent been elections in many years, polling data shows that Hamas would win again, and the overwhelming majority of Palestinians support Hamas, as well as support the genocidal acts of Oct 7.

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

There is no cowering. I have been explicitly clear and cited firsthand testimony and data for you. The highest cultural honor= killing Jews (martyrdom) is what is being taught in an overwhelming majority of schools in the Palestinian territories. This isn't my opinion. It is fact. It is their self-declared highest cultural honor. Literally in UNRWA textbooks, on children's TV shows. Examine the data I already sent you before you come back to me telling me it's not true.

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

@AlanRamskill @caitoz lol

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

I haven't said anything about the people or governments of Iran or Saudi Arabia or the UAE. So stop putting words in my mouth. Take it up with whoever is arguing whatever those points are.

You refuse to admit several things you've been factually incorrect about so I'm not sure what else there is to talk about. You literally said Palestinians are a large part of the Egyptian population and are trying to die on a sword of if I characterized the border policies of Egypt precisely enough.

I said Egypt doesn't freely let Palestinians in. And they don't. Making rare exceptions for an extremely nominal % of the population isn't really what we were talking about. Neither country ever gave open passage for refugees, even pre-oct7 when Israel's restrictions were FAR lesser than Egypt's, and it's laughable that people think this should be allowed. North Korea doesn't allow South Korea to openly cross their border. Is South Korea an open air prison? Lol. No countries are required to allow another group, especially a genocidal one, to cross into their territory. The fact that this needs to be explained is alarming.

To clarify since we seem to be missing some obvious critical thinking here: Again, all Palestinian children are not terrorists, obviously. However, they are being openly indoctrinated towards killing Jews. That needs to be understood. And recognized as the dangerous paradigm it is. Don't believe me? Listen to them yourselves.

Unless you plan on addressing any of these points directly, or the claims you've already made that are false, this will be my last reply.

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

@JuanitaCalamid2 @caitoz oh, and dismantling the entire Arab world too, since that too is colonialism of the highest order.

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

@JuanitaCalamid2 @caitoz good luck "dismantling" the entire western world.

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

I'd agree with you about the occupation in theory, but unfortunately the data doesnt support that. Israel fully left Gaza in 2005, with plans in place to withdraw from the northern WB, and got suicide bombings and rockets in return.

So no, I don't naively believe that withdrawal will lead to peace. Because there is no acceptance of Israel, period. Palestinian raison d'être is the destruction of Israel, not peace. They do not want two states. They want one, Judenfrei state. Don't believe me? Listen to it from their own mouths:

[Melanie Weisner @melanieweisner]

@Gugugaga18786 @academic_la Additionally, that is incorrect. They do not have a large Palestinian population and you should fact check such claims. Palestinians make up 0.09% of the Egyptian population. Smaller even than the USA, which is saying something.
