I recently started learning and playing poker, and I mostly play with fake money. Here's what I've used so far:

Pokerstars and GGPoker both have fake money options that you can play without depositing money. I used Pokerstars for a while as it was the only client I could get working on Linux (using bottles). They both have good mobile apps. I prefer GGPoker's interface so I've been using my Windows dual boot to play that when I want to on my computer.

Poker Brawl is a phone app where you can play correspondence heads-up poker with an ELO rating system. It's correspondence , so you only have to make a move once every three days. It's heads-up only, though.

I've found playing on real poker platforms with fake money to be best in terms of somewhat emulating real poker in terms of player behavior.

Feel free to comment with any questions and I'll try to help

Thanks

This anti lawn tirade is kinda anti-kid to a degree.

I see where you're coming from, but I'd argue that more public parks with playgrounds and fields to play on is better than lawns. In some places that's not prioritised, possibly where you are, and so it sounds great what you have going on!

But if there are enough public parks for kids to play at, then lawns just end up being wasted space that could instead be a garden or have native plants that help the native wildlife, or something like that.

I don't know anyone that actually uses their lawn for anything... Some people might host BBQs or stuff like that, in which case I don't mind. In my view, if it gets used, great! But most of the time they don't and they just suck up water resources and petrol on mowing with no real benefit

gotdamn is a joke spelling, was popular several years ago. I think it was because with certain accents it sounded like that. Kind of like "periodt 💅"

I was meant to comment on the comment you commented on, not on your comment

New Zealand definitely has western influence, but at least we have MMP voting instead of First Past the Post, so we don't have as strong of a two-party system. We also have a cost of living crisis but so does every western country. Our generally reasonable politics is one of the reasons why I'm not interested in moving to another country when so many of my friends are moving to Australia or the UK for higher salaries

What do you mean?

Deafness covers a broad spectrum of hearing difficulty, not just completely deaf. Most people that identify as deaf still have some hearing. I always forget that and had the same question as you until I read a comment further down.

It's likely that the person isn't fully deaf and so can still hear some music, but deaf enough that they can't understand the lyrics. Having the ability to view the lyrics in real time is handy rather than having to search them up all the time. Spotify also shows what lyric is currently being sung in real time, whereas you can't get that with a Google search.

I have a steam deck... And a gaming PC! 🤯 I plug the steam deck into my TV with a couple of controllers, and now I have a "console" with all my steam games on it that I can use to play local multiplayer games with my partner. It's also great to take when visiting family

That's so wild. I met one person and I was just following them around to see where the "AI" was taking them. I thought it was very advanced for an older game 😅 I think I may not be the smartest
