Unbelievable Things Banned in the USA

By Lifestyle No Comments

Understanding some of the laws in the USA can be pretty weird if you’re coming from outside. You can get a gun in the store next door, but still, you’re not able to place sports bets. Since weapons aren’t banned in the States, some things you won’t believe are. Here is the list of some things banned in the USA.

Bare-Hand Fishing

Fishing is a favorite hobby for many people and lucky for them, it is totally legal activity in all of the American states. Namely, it has some regulations, but still free. For example, the state of Indiana has a strict law about fishing. There, you are not allowed to do this activity with bare hands.

Feeding Pigs With Garbage

Ok, we know that these animals are always hungry and can eat almost everything, even garbage. However, this act is allowed in every state, except in North Carolina. This state has a regulation that regards cooking garbage first before giving it to the pigs.

Texting and Walking

You can’t look at your phone or text while you’re crossing the street in Hawaii. This relatively new law predicts fines start at $15 and can go to $100 if you make multiple violations of the law. This is understandable when you know that this activity causes approximately 12,000 injuries per year.

Drunk Surfing

Believe it or not, Iowa as a landlocked state which banned surfing under the influence of alcohol. We know that things could escalate if alcohol is included too, but in Iowa, there is no reason for such a law. Let’s suppose that they know best.

Wearing Saggy Pants

In Collinsville, Illinois, saggy pants have been banned since 2011. The law determines the way of wearing pants. The fine is $100 plus community service for the first offense, and $300 plus community service for subsequent offenses.

No Toy Guns For Minors

Minors in Kansas City are not allowed to purchase cap pistols. It seems pretty normal until you learn that in Kansas City minors are allowed to buy shotguns freely.

This is part of American’s lifestyle. If you like to read that kind of posts, go to the category “Lifestyle” on the blog of bet safe and crypto accepted Casino Brango.

Land on your feet

How to Land on Your Feet Again

By Lifestyle No Comments

We have all been in situations when we felt we let ourselves down. Our beliefs, plans, projects, relationships…. Although there is nothing wrong with experiencing the fall, accepting is as a lesson is far more important. Falling off the wagon can happen to anyone. Learning how to land on your feet again is more important than beating yourself up because of the fall. It is also more difficult than simply taking the fall.

Be Your Own Best Friend

What would you say to your best friend who had a misfortune to experience failure? Exactly. Now, consider telling the same thing to yourself when faced with the fall. Many people have the tendency to beat themselves up because of their mistakes.

Admittedly, we may hurt far more when it is our own inadequacy or weakness that is exposed. Nevertheless, accepting it and dealing with it appears to be one of the most important lessons we can learn in life.

Ways to Cope

We may debate over whether things happen for a reason. The fact is that through life, a person will go through a lot. There will be all sorts of ups and downs to handle. Each one of us can decide on how much involved he or she wishes to be.

The easier way is to let the nature take its course, relax and go with the flow. The more difficult way is to take the stirring wheel and navigate the storms. Which course would you take?

Let the Experience Be Your Teacher

The thing is that whatever you decide to do, the situations and circumstances will inevitably leave traces on your psychological development. It is no news, but we should remind ourselves every now and then, that ancient civilizations pondered on this topic as well. They talked about the experiences as of heavenly teachers.

Facing danger and possibility of failure has always been a sign of maturing, no matter the outcome. There are tribes still today that practice initiation. Once you face the challenge, you are mature enough to become an adult. Why is that so?

It is certainly not because that person has showed incredible stamina or skill (although this is praised as well). The main reason lies in a preparedness to accept whatever may come and to give it your best shot – even if you find yourself lying down beaten nearly to death.

Rising Up and Landing on Your Feet

Rising up is probably the hardest part of the process. Swallow the pain and pride and keep on moving. Without any attempt to sound patronizing, I personally think that once we get up and land on our feet, it is crucial to simply continue where we left off.

The notion of new beginnings sounds great, but it can overshadow the steps we took to arrive where we are now. We are what we make of ourselves. We carry all our successes, as well as failures with us everywhere we go. There is no way we can escape them. People either love us or hate us because of them. However, the very fact that we have managed to get up, pick up the pieces and continue moving, should tell a great story. The story about willpower and love. Love yourselves, people. More importantly, be kind to one another. You never know what someone had to experience in life in order to be the person he or she is.

Tell us about your greatest success or hardship. Do you successfully land on your feet often?

Beginner’s Luck Explanation by Two Scientific Theories

By Lifestyle No Comments

The idea of beginner’s luck has been around for generations. We at the casino world know it best. Some players may have been playing online slots for days on and come up empty-handed. On the other hand, a newbie may win a jackpot. The question is does beginner’s luck really exist or is it all in our heads? Two scientific theories have the answer.

The Theory of Flow

This is the theory that Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, American-Hungarian psychologist popularized in 1975. It is a positive form of psychology based on the hyper-focus. The premise is that beginners achieve an optimal mental state when they are engaged in an activity that they enjoy. This activity is challenging enough but is proportionate to the participant’s skill level.

When we talk about gambling it means that beginners are more likely to win primarily because they don’t make strategies and plans, they just go with the flow. Beginners play based on a simple rule. They only enjoy the moment of the game and not really worry too much about winning and losing. Unlike them, professional gamblers are always considering their next move, take strategies in their play and a dozen other things. They have the tendency to complicate the game and it makes the so-called experts lose.

The Sparrow Theory

Several students from Tel Aviv University in Israel conducted a study to research this phenomenon. They tested how sparrows would decide on foraging for food and how that is related to beginner’s luck. They took 60 sparrows and let them forage for food in a plot of land divided into 2 sides. One side had a large number of holes, each filled with a little bit of food. The other side had just as many holes but only a few of them actually had food inside them. The holes that did have food had plenty of it. This part represented the high-risk side and at the end of the experiment, only 7 sparrows were left on this side.

These 7 sparrows are like beginners at the casino. They did not make a conscious choice, they took a chance and won right away. The rest of the sparrows represent experienced players who have learned to take low-risk for low-rewards.

How and When to Appreciate People in Your Life

By Lifestyle No Comments

Not everyone feels good in showing emotions. It happens ever so often that we feel gratitude or appreciation for someone, but we are not able to express it. Thus, the relationship with that specific person or a group remains burdened. How and when to appreciate people in your life is a question we need to answer if we want to be true to ourselves and people we are surrounded with.

Let people know you will listen to them

Listening can be difficult, although it may not seem that way. It demands attention and patience. Above all, someone’s time. And we know that time is money.

When you let someone know that you are ready to listen to them whenever, you basically pledge to commit and provide understanding – which is something we all need. Moreover, it is one of the best ways to show you appreciate people in your life.

Describe the experience you gained facing challenge someone imposed

We all fight our own demons through a lifetime. We face various fears and learn how to overcome them. Every now and then, we are challenged by either circumstances or other people. Although many people regard those moments as a misfortune, there are people who consider them to be gifts.

A challenge is a lesson. Whatever you may think about the cause of the challenge, there is no better solution than to embrace it. Through challenges, we grow. We learn how to handle difficulties, or better yet – how to avoid them.

The important thing here to understand is that once you show appreciation for challenges, you are doing two important things. One is saying thanks to whoever challenged you and the other is practicing gratitude.

Don’t argue, rather embrace differences

There are many situations in life when we lose our cool.  Even though such reaction is sometimes justified, it is more often pointless. It serves for letting off steam and rarely something more.

Difference in opinion is natural. We form our standpoints in accordance with our beliefs, the way we were brought up, the circumstances surrounding our lives. There are no two identical individuals in this world. So, why do we let ourselves get annoyed when someone tries to impose the viewpoint?

Embracing differences makes us better people. Furthermore, it can help prepare us for many important steps in life. It shows that we value something or someone that exists besides us. Embracing differences decreases ego, or at least puts it under control.

When was the last time you showed appreciation for someone?
