@eaglesanalysis1 @AshleyDCan @AOC I agree with that. Honestly, having seen gambling do serious damage to people in my life...I'd advocate for:
- Ban gambling companies from accepting credit cards as payment (some do this)
- No targeted ads to people trying to quit
- Limits of advertising in general

@UpstateCoder91 @AshleyDCan @AOC I’m fine with some regulation on advertising. But I don’t think that’s what AOC or detractors are arguing for.
And the irony is the only reason thy even care is its competition for sports-books and hurting the states tax revenue

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽♀️
Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

@eaglesanalysis1 @AshleyDCan @AOC And gambling often quickly spirals into severe addiction that can ruin lives and often leads to destroyed relations, careers and even suicide.
English

@UpstateCoder91 @AshleyDCan @AOC People should be free to make their own decisions and deal with the consequences. People also go broke trading stocks, are we going to outlaw that as well?
How about we let adults make their own choices

@AshleyDCan @AOC Spoken like someone who has never seen or experienced the real damage long term gambling has on people.

@theblackvault @Stevest48366771 Nobody with a brain cell or who enjoys being happy would run Windows servers 🤣

@UpstateCoder91 @Stevest48366771 All my servers are Linux :) So, I still work in the environment when I have to.

@Stevest48366771 I'm cooler. I use ASCII art programs.

@Stevest48366771 @theblackvault As I work in game dev...I'm kinda stuck with Windows generally but do get to live in Linux for backend work. :)

@sentdefender Wait until you learn the truth about UAPs. lol

Gregg Phillips, Head of the Office of Response and Recovery at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), said in January 2025 during an episode of the far-right conspiracy theory podcast Onward, that he has experienced multiple instances of teleportation, including to a Waffle House in Georgia. With Phillips stating, “Teleporting is no fun. It’s no fun because you don’t really know what you’re doing. You don’t really understand it, it’s scary, but yet um – but so real. And you know it’s happening but you can’t do anything about it, and so you just go, you just go with the ride. And wow, what just an incredible adventure it all was.”

@UAPodcast850 Full disclosure, I have not seen the episode yet. Just a thought I wanted to throw out there. Thank you both!
English

@UAPodcast850 Jeff...if you know the names of these criminals...you have to name them. Letting these people roam around terrorizing people if you know their names is not gonna fly.

Happy to say that this full episode with Jeff Nuccetelli is out now! I think this is one of the most important and significant episodes I have ever done, and this clip is a good example why. Jeff tells us about the direct threats he and others have endured. Break ins, face to face confrontations, and more.
This is scary and unsettling stuff, but sometimes light is the best disinfectant. Much more is discussed in the full episode. Link in the comments.

@elonmusk @jonatanpallesen Yeah, because smart people don't have kids in a world that doesn't care about life.
English

@jonatanpallesen So many smart people I know have fewer than 2 kids

The proportion of high-IQ people in the world is declining fast.

The total number of smart people in the world has just peaked. And now it's about to crash.

@theblackvault @AskaPol_UAPs @MattLaslo @RepEricBurlison It's definitely not about immigration, however...I agree whatever it is will probably be underwhelming.
English

Thanks to @MattLaslo with @AskaPol_UAPs and his amazing work, he asked @RepEricBurlison about the whole aliens.gov registration news.
Here was his response. Spoiler alert: he doesn't know.

Wow as per @Polymarket 61% chance that President Trump will declassify UFO files by Dec 31st - is disclosure coming soon?

@Honker0 @walterkirn Simple, if you admit a force exists that can do what NHI allegedly can do...your entire authority structure collapses instantly.
English

@walterkirn What is the point of the government making such a big deal about this and trying to keep it secret?
English

I don't think I'm being lied to about this UFO thing. I really don't. I've spent years on the matter. I think we need to demand more in terms of knowledge of the subject. Or at least expect more. I'm of the belief that knowing more is always better than knowing less but that gaming all this out is impossible. Let the chips fall where they may. Or float as they may. Because they just might, you know. Might float.

@RazorwireRPG Once you notice this about Starfield, you can't go back to enjoying it. It just feels so bland and pointless.
English

No single image of Starfield better illustrates how toothless, gutless, lacking in grit and texture than this one does. I made the mistake of visiting Neon late in my playthrough, excited about the idea of visiting a sleazy Cyberpunk planet. What I found was a clown show. There is something hollow and sad about the entirety of Starfield's worldbuilding and lore, that I can't even bring myself to be mad about - I'm just disappointed. This doesn't feel like a universe comprised of competing factions and people, it feels like a bunch of empty mannequins shooting at each other over nothing. Everything feels so dumbed down and family friendly. All the edges filed off to make everything palatable and bland. It's sad.
