ZemZem Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hmm...I don't think so. Shit happens, and fortunate things happen, so it really depends how your luck in general. (Man I sound stupid. ._.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passionfruit Cappuccino Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Possibly, if you decide to use luck as an excuse for things that happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euklyd Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I feel like more often people make their own bad luckand some of it is coincidencebut I don't think people are naturally unlucky (what does that even mean?)(or lucky)why am I typing like I would over IMs / in a chatroom wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euklyd Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (what does that even mean?) Like, luck is already something that's unnatural (or natural) and trying to make a distinction between "natural luck" and "unnatural luck" is completely pointless and makes you look like you don't have any idea what you're talking about and I sound like a fucking pedant caught up with fucking semantics and I hate it blaming you for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Natural as in born with it Nothing else to it This is for people who believe in luck though~ I don't really think that some are more lucky than others, but some are more fortunate than others Although now that I think about it if we're talking about overall, like throughout their whole life, well idk I don't know many people's entire lives to know how much situations can change or remain the same over such a long span Edited September 5, 2014 by Freohr Datia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercyWalk Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I think a lot of childhood is based on luck, what you're born into, type of school, etc. But once you can start making a change to your personal circumstances I don't think it's about luck anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryhard Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) I seem to have a way of winning most board games against people, if that counts. otherwise I don't think so Edited September 5, 2014 by Tryhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kokone Kirino Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 nah some people are just stupid/not stupid Meh A friend of mine once ordered something on ebay from a guy with 100% positive feedback. The item never arrived. I'd consider that bad luck. Even in matters of career, it is connected with luck (at least slightly), since your connections and the status you were born in influence that too. I don't like the term becazmuse of its un-scientific description (Quantum randomness makes it better, but meh). Still, something akin to 'bad luck' and 'good luck' does exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) i think of luck more like alb does--"luck of the draw" when you're born. genetics is a luck/chanced based game that will thankfully be changeable in the future (and let's assume used for good not for evil k?) but as you get older poor events happen more as a consequence of your own actions than as happenstance. (also, don't think i'm making that statement apply broadly. day-by-day stuff is what i'm talking about here.)

Makaze Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Yes. People born with sub-human abilities have it really bad. People born with super-human abilities have it great. If you mean someone for whom everything happens to turn out badly or well, yes. It's a statistical inevitability. Someone like that will exist at some point. Can't say that you'll be able to predict bad luck before the fact, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could see how funky society gets when eugenics becomes cheap and widely used, preferably in the far future when humanity has expanded into the far reaches of space we won't even have to find aliens to have sex with, thank you based genetic modifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peener weener Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Luck is a matter of perspective. It isn't really a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) That's always how I thought of it as... then suddenly I come across people talking about how it's supposed to be an actual thing or something and I just figured it was something I hadn't heard of before because I'm so very often uninformed But whenever I talk about luck it's always based on that idea, even after hearing it's some "supernatural" thing... I guess I can't really help the way I think about it Edited September 5, 2014 by Freohr Datia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
