  • Knowing the odds doesn’t stop children from developing a gambling habit.

    We were on the way to banning gambling a couple decades ago, it was illegal online and it was hard for new casinos to open up. Sports betting was illegal.

    Now we’ve got FanDuel and gacha and loot boxes and crypto casinos and shitcoin shoveling influencers all this awful shit. And if you look around, the biggest shitbag bullies are the ones who are promoting it, because they know they’ll get their bag and their fans will never turn on them.

    You know, because they might win next time.

    These people are child predators, just not (always) the sexual kind. Fucking ban it all.

    Only if you have a condition which could fall under the umbrella of mentally retarded. Otherwise you’re just trying to illustrate a depreciation of self-worth, by insinuating that those with said disabilities are somehow worth less because of it.

    It’s that last part that’s shitty.
