Legalizing Sports Gambling Was a Huge Mistake
  • i mean i agree, obviously gambling is inherently predatory when there's a house.

    my thought is mostly that the concept of "legalizing sports betting" is one thing, while legalizing pocket casinos and smashing you across the head with advertising is another.

    like hell, at least if you had to go to a bookie it's something to do, you're getting out of the fucking house. this is just sitting on your ass and pissing your money away without even a walk outside to speak of. it's bleak

  • Legalizing Sports Gambling Was a Huge Mistake
  • This would've been alright if you still had to like go to an official to place bets. The problem is there's a fucking casino in your pocket now and they've been given free reign to advertise to everyone on everything

  • Less than 3 hours left before Missouri knowingly and willfully executes an innocent man.
  • It's ideological within white supremacy, we're not actually yakubian demons, but as a whole what's the fucking difference when shit like this is allowed to happen

    If you grow up under it, as a white, you basically have to spend your whole life constantly fighting off bullshit the indoctrination did to your brains core processing. Otherwise you just become evil

  • Removed
    A short lib thread on the death by cop for the farebeater. It includes the phrase "obey a cop".
  • So the guy had a knife out, and he allegedly pulled it because because the cops were stopping him over skipping fare. Causal issues here are mental health issues, poverty, and the fact that the fare creates a tension that exacerbates the former two issues which is then brought to a head by the cop.

    The cop not being there gets rid of this situation, as their existence in a social group implies and creates violence and getting rid of the fare stops this situation.

    All the takes I see about this are ignoring what actually happened, which is annoying and doesn't really help understand the situation.

  • What is an important "butterfly moment" for you that helped push you towards leftism later on?
  • Specifically getting a job and the immediate dissatisfaction of my paychecks lol

    I didn't know what the hell was wrong until I ran into a leftist at a bar when I was like 23. Had no idea about these topics, the online discourse wasn't there yet so this was like the only way I could've found out

  • America yearns for the juice

    Trump's out of juice, my boys dry as hell. Kamala is off the xannies and just sounds like a bush era right winger.

    No juice. No sauce.

    There's nothing for me on this one anymore. Going to write in Xi on election day and be done with it

    Probably the best time to protest Israel is right now

    If it's going to ever have an effect it's now. The libs are doing good suddenly but they'll want to keep the vibes going. Probably time to see if we can make the mask come off or they'll make a concession.

    They look stronger than ever but it's the Dems, these swapups are coming from their fear.

    Listen, I don't think this happens but...

    It's the funniest possible sequence of events, and no one wouldve seen it coming

    What does that even look like for the culture of the US lol

    Apply for jobs in a walkable city and just go for it if you're in the US

    Like if it's even an option for you at all, make the move. It's such a better quality of life it's crazy, cannot be exaggerated.

    Obviously not easy, but if it's even at all potentially feasible do what you can to make it happen.

    The fentanyl machine line

    That was the moment of the debate for me. It all could've been argued OK he's old OK he's got a speech impediment but what the fuck is the big fentanyl machine they roll across the border supposed to fucking mean holy shit

    Freaked out at a cop who rolled into the bar in full gear

    I was drunk and I turned around and he's just standing there and idk I just went blank. Called him pig a bunch, someone told me to stop and I did, but wowee.

    Feel bad that I definitely made some people uncomfortable, but I mean who the fuck shows up the bar like that.

    I'll find out if I got myself banned in a couple days. Would be a shame, was making friends there. But if I got banned for telling a cop to eat shit then I guess that's cooler than being a regular nuisance.

    For context I'm in a large American city that has seen some shit, so it might be fine after an apology to some of the people that had to listen to it. The bartender thought it was funny

    It's still an infrastructure problem if your transport vessels are causing calamity constantly

    Truck blew up I-95, train blew up east palestine, boat blew up Baltimore harbor. Need regulation on the transport companies right the fuck now.

    What the fuck is up with countries posting their bombings and battles (read: atrocities) on Twitter?

    Ukraine does it now Israel. It's completely absurd.

    It's so fucking weird, they act like they're completely removed from the actively engaged war they are in and tweet as if it's prestige television. What the hell is going on?

    How much property damage could you do given 10 minutes and a wooden oar?

    You have 10 minutes before the cops arrive. If you break 50k they have to let you go, no questions asked.

    What's your plan?
