Someone argued that I was actually probably Russian like their grandfather, not Polish because Polish and Russian is both Slavic and therefore the DNA test and our culture is probably wrong and I was Russian the whole time.

I spent almost two decades as a game developer and many of those years were spent developing professional lottery products.
I argued with a buddy for over 5 years about the gamblers fallacy and various other aspects to do with probabilities.
See, in his mind, he could somehow claim to understand the underlying statement that past events are not a predictor of future events… but he’s still insisted that if he monitored the “patterns” in the random, he could somehow break through this truth.
I could never get through to him that there was no “system”… You can bet in the most mathematically advantageous way but you’ll never “beat the odds”. You’re just fucking gambling dude.
Zero progress… and I refused after a while to discuss anything to do with probabilities.
E: I’m sorry for the scrambled up writing, I’m having a rough day, hope you get what I mean
We’re not going to argue about that sir. This is not a Wendy’s.
But we will be fighting about it, because you just stepped in a Waffle house. Have at thee!
