It's a sign of a prosperous country when gambling is legal
how so
Because people who gamble have excess cash to spend on things they don't need
lot of gamblers are ppl who cant afford it
It's illegal here (besides the lottery and sports gambling, especially Football/Soccer) precisely because of addiction.
There are always problem gamblers, it's the same with drinking
i dont mind gambling per se but when parents are spending money on gambling then letting their children starve, thats an issue
Oh, and the crime associated with gambling.
I mean technically online poker was illegal in the US for a while, too. That was right after the poker black friday (fulltilt poker)
The DOJ froze billions of dollars in user accounts.
I had like 8k frozen for a few years.
The easiest way to gamble is by getting on a ship which sails out of the territorial waters.
Never tried that tbh lol
I'd just go to Vegas, seems better
Well, I'll cut it here, need to sleep.
Night
*or morning, it's 5AM here

@ETBrooD tsk, tsk, but what about cancer hurrrr durrr <:smugon:512048583806025739>
Ahh yes, as if cleaning with bleach and shit, constantly breathing in that good stuff does not cause any sort of health issue as well. <:smugon:512048583806025739>
But muh cancer man! When they are cleaning the buss there usually are no passengers or any living person in there <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
Links to false statements and papers which completely destroy the argument of human induced climate change. Co2 FOLLOWS temp increase. not the other way.
Mountain of data showing that the periodic activity of the sun in coordination with the periodic weakening and shifting of the earth's magnetic field leads to periodically irradiating much of the planet, disrupting the earth's crust by the sun actuating the mechanism that creates earth's magnetic field (rather than the other way around) and induces long periods of cold as the gaps in the field increases the moisture in the air by several degrees of magnitude. Solar Forcing.
Last 20 yrs, earth's north pole sayin, "Screw this. I'm headed south."
@ManAnimal Isn't solar activity on the decline since 2000?
Yes. Solar cycle. After an extreme minimum, comes an extreme maximum. When the earth's pole is stable, the earth's magnetic field forms a dipole, providing maximum coverage. However, as the poles move closer together, the field weakens. When the solar maximum corresponds with the earth's magnetic field being at it's weakest..... ot-oh
Ever take two magnets and move similar poles closer and closer together? What happens? It becomes harder and harder to move similar poles closer together until suddenly, the magnet physically reorients itself. The geological record doesn't capture such events that happen 'suddenly', only the long-term effects.
If the movement of iron in the earth's core induces a magnetic field, what happens when you put more energy into the field directly than there is motion in that churning iron?
In electric power generation, we call this 'reverse power'. A generator becomes a motor.
Typically, the generator tears itself apart.
Will cause a great many natural disasters if it does actually happen quickly. As far as I know evidence points to polar shifts typically taking long enough that it isn't cataclysmic, just somewhat disastrous.
How much of the planet is covered with water? Where does Goblekki Teppe fit into the history books? Or the ruins on the ocean floor near asia? Lots of unexplained evidence that predates or doesn't fit into what is accepted as the historical record. Earthquakes happen all the time. However, how much of a civilization would survive if earthquakes happen everywhere at the SAME time worldwide? what would be the difference in the fossil record to indicate this? Remember up until the 20th century, there were less than 2billion people on the planet.
@ManAnimal Could just be the global flood and shifting of the continents that happened several thousand years ago
Really depends on which view of history you accept as reality
