Strictly for those that don't need it. Just like most of what the likes of Hochum and Adams prioritize.

Not any more so than the reality it exemplifies.

That would be..

Yes, just like the legal term for a predatory debt spiral disguised as a short term loan used to be "payday loan" (now called something else to avoid regulation imposed on the previous euphemism).

The more innocent-sounding but deceptive term that a predatory industry prefers doesn't become correct just because they successfully bribe politicians to make it become/remain the official one.

Fair enough heh. You have yourself a nice day 🙂

Yes, it was. Now leave me alone before you start your nonsense on me again.

Not really, no. Read my subsequent response to their poorly thought out reply for more information.

It's going to affect immunocompromised people every day of the year regardless, whether it's supposed to or not.

Infectious disease doesn't take a break because the cops "need" to identify "troublemakers" with their Orwellian spying on blameless people.

Besides, making it unsafe for everyone who ever participates in a protest to be around anyone who's immunocompromised is a whole new level of oppression!

At least that one seems to be targeted at protests

You're celebrating that, rather than accidentally targeting immunocompromised people, it deliberately targets people exercising their constitutional right to dissent?

Btw, like with abortion, any exemptions a GOP ban has will just be a fig leaf for the complicit media that's not going to be in effect in the vast majority of cases.

Great job, dude!

I'm not gonna hold you to the impossibly high standards of the original vocals of the great Elton John, but that being said, great cover! Gave me literal goosebumps! ❤️

Gambling, not gaming. Games are things you play for enjoyment, not things that you pour money into with the (almost always disappointed) hope that more money will come back to you.

Examples of games:

  • Fallout New Vegas
  • Settlers of Catan
  • Twister
  • Truth or Dare

NOT games:

  • Roulette

  • Blackjack

  • Slot machines (whether physical or virtual)

  • Predatory capitalism

Hybrids and edge cases:

  • Any game with loot boxes and similar bullshit

  • Poker, though it's more akin to sports gambling than enjoyment with gambling.

  • online dating
