A lot of trials aren’t fair anyway, they are just influenced in a different way that is not accessible if you are not rich and powerful

I hate the stigma and laws against gambling. They don’t stop gambling, they create a higher barrier of entry leading to monopoly, and gamblers are paying more because lack of competition

The stigma against gambling exists because of the fallout when the gambler crashes and burns. The primary concern is for the dependents that the gambler is financially responsible for. The second order is the gambler's vulnerability to blackmail.

I feel that once a person starts gambling, they've just demonstrated they are not fiscally responsible. There should be a hard stop on increasing debt through loans or credit cards, and any income should go directly to the dependents and not pass through the gambler's hands.

Gambling is as destructive as DUI and should be treated with the same level of severity.


Buddy, it's gambling; the gambler decides how much they want to bet. I'm struggling to see how gambling monopolies make things worse for gamblers when the very nature of gambling is that the house always wins.

I removed most of them now, but it is a pain to work without a dark reader or a Google results remover.

It is almost like every government is shit and politics only attract psychopaths who want more power over other people.

Because mass unemployment is a bad thing, and the costs are lowered so people can actually survive on lower wages. Meanwhile young people in the West cannot even get a minimum wage job at McDonald’s


The publish or perish culture leads to this. The businessmen and politicians should never be allowed to decide academic fundings.


It is almost like the current system favours cheaters spamming fake CVs while most real people do have imperfections (eg gaps in employment)


A lot of fake positions. It is not even from the company, just recruiters recycling old job postings. I know it is fake because I’m in the company and the project is long dead.
