The damage gambling does to society in general and families specifically is horrific. It’s one of those things that hotwires the reward systems of a persons brain as surely as alcohol or opioids. And it’s so casual, gambling, especially at this level, finds the people who are susceptible, and exploits them until they are rung out like a dry cloth.

You may be one of the people who can just casually gamble, and not understand why it’s so crazy destructive, or you could be 10 toes in a downward spiral, there’s no way for me to know.

This period of legalized gambling is going to go have a body count at the end of it, a huge one.

I wonder if they tested the husband’s blood against the blood on the handle and knife?

[Everyone hated this]

This is adorable!

Yeah it’s always something, and it’s always gonna be something. And that thing is oligarchy.

Whenever there is a democratic majority, just enough Democrats will turn to make any actual change impossible, like a public option with Obama. Or when the blue dog Democrats fucked healthcare reform under Clinton. It’s happened every time and will continue to happen because the ratchet effect is a feature that always ends in facism and oligarchy, which is where you make your real money.

Brutal!

Newsome should be unacceptable as a presidential candidate for the left. He’s about as centrist and business forward as they come. Almost all his projects directed at Californians have a business windfall attached to them.

He’s a rich boy, with a rich boy haircut who has no concept of how his constituency struggles. We Californians voted him in because… Well look at him, he’s gorgeous. Like we are that stupid. We voted for Arnold for Christ sake.

Legit means walking like a homeless person, it’s fucking wild.

It wasn’t an answer! I think this is the most text I’ve ever gotten back for a two word response, I’m proud of you and your ability to ascribe deep and significant meaning to it.

Oh, honey…

Yeah, that’s like literally the point. In other news, water wet i guess.

Whisper excitedly under your breath, “here’s another one, chat!”

Take out your phone and pretend to look at it while you side-eye them aggressively. Everyone loves that!

They’re probably scrolling on mobile and did it accidentally.
