@ancient_catbus Really rich kids hire professional dart throwers, point them at the carnival and then take credit for making the connection
@ancient_catbus rich kids have their parents buy them the grand prize while they fail repeatedly in my experience
@ancient_catbus As a lifelong baseball fan, I always summed this concept up with one of my favorite quotes, "Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple."
@ancient_catbus Or the rich kids can not even bother to take a throw, get their parents to hire a professional darts player to take the throw for them, then say it was all down to their visionary leadership.
@ancient_catbus This is astonishingly self-aware for HN, I must say.
@ancient_catbus The audacity of someone on Hacker News to post this
@ancient_catbus man this really is what ‘i kept trying until i succeeded’ means isn’t it
@makeitsnow you're bound to hit the jackpot if you can afford to keep feeding the machine
@ancient_catbus thinking about the martingale system again
@ancient_catbus for some reason i decided to work at the carnival rather than throw darts.
@ancient_catbus also, AFAIK hacker's was bought by Peter theil. (Ycombinaror.... his thing)
