Is RNG and gambling a skill?
>>
not really it's just a gamble
>>
One offs? no. Over time? yes.

It's a talent.

These aren't skills, and skill required is inversely proportion to how bad your luck is. Don't understand? Here's a 4chan example.
>you enter a thread
>the thread has a crazy person
This is bad luck, no? What if you leave the thread? You're using a skill known as self-control.
Second example: You play a gacha. Your friend rolls the character they want on the first pull. You reroll 100 times to get the same character. You used skill, and he did not.

You're confusing skill with multiple things; effort, persistence and exposure to adversity.

Rolling 100x isn't skill, it's more attempts, the probably doesn't change by trying more.

Likewise, leaving a shitty thread might demonstrate self-control, but encountering a schizo doesn't magically make you more skilled than someone who never encountered one.

Bad luck can increase the amount of effort required to achieve something without increasing the skill required to perform it.

By your logic, someone who loses 1,000 coin flips is more skilled than someone who wins their first. That's fucking ridiculous.

You're measuring how much adversity someone experiences, not how competent they are at overcoming it.

Okay, then I'll demonstrate competence. I'm closing this thread and closing it on the catalog. I will be on the catalog setting up filters, which is done for hours every day. I do this because I'm the last 4channer left and I don't know who any of you are. Enjoy each other's company.
