Online poker was basically killed overnight in the early 2000s for... reasons... yet online gambling through Counter-Strike skins that purposely target kids is legal.. It's illegal to sell flavored e-cigs because "maybe kids get them," but no age checks or regulation for online skin gambling. Illegal to advertise cigarettes because "maybe kids," but not illegal to advertise online skin gambling, where you can sponsor content creators with a 12-18 year-old audience. While no one was paying attention, online skin gambling became bigger than all online casinos combined.

A few minutes ago I prayed to God while walking. I scared a stray dog that ended up in front of a car. The car stopped not to hurt the dog. The car number plate had GOD written on it. Dog spelled in reverse is God.

I love being lectured about the price we charge for labor being too high by people who pay their illegal alien laborers below minimum wage, don't pay unemployment, medicare, social security, taxes, insurance, health care, paid sick leave, paid family leave, or workers comp. You know those things you voted for that are meant to protect those people from scalpers like you?

Many people (especially politicians) say whatever words they need to, to receive what they want. Being authentic to them is actually a burden because it has the potential to do the opposite of giving them what they want. A person who has a reason for what they believe in isn't powerful because everyone agrees with them immediately. They are powerful because they have the fortitude to present WHY they believe what they believe, not just patronize people with what they think they want to hear.

To any and all who have a WordPress website you should know that ALL WordPress websites have a bus factor of 1. If 1 guy gets hit by a bus and dies you lose all ability to update your plugins, and keep your website up to date with the latest security patches. This is from the man himself: pbs.twimg.com/medi... Do you really want to build ANYTHING ontop of a single point of failure? Anyone with a business on WordPress should consider migrating. Do not build on WordPress.

I had no idea wordpress was controlled by one person with no oversight.... Always be aware of your dependencies because when you get large enough they can easily become your tax collectors.

Sometimes I watch ads for Google products and it's hard to believe they run the largest advertising company in the world.. I guess selling advertisements is a lot easier than making good advertisements.

Tis the season when politicians pretend to put your struggles and cares over their personal agenda. Once they are elected they go back to putting their ambitions over your cares. Give me a man of the people. One who's focus is on the people during election time as well as after.

Disappointing how easily duped our politicians are: "oh we aren't price fixing its an algorithm that controls that", "oh were not tailoring search results its an algorithm that controls that". Not saying the full truth which is that the "algorithm" is modified until it produces the results they want. If they understood even a fraction of how the modern world works they would ask more pointed questions. I just keep thinking of all the embarrassing hearings with top tech CEOs where they are essentially lied to and they still don't realize it..

Let me get this straight.. they tried to bankrupt the guy, put him in prison for life, remove his name from the ballot, and now kill him and you're telling me it's completely out of character for them to rig the most easily rigged election in history. Now I understand why pattern recognition is such a large part of iq tests.

It's year 5174. Brain researchers discover that neurons inside the brain work by quantum entanglement. A couple years later they develop a device that makes brain to brain communication possible. Now humans power a thinking network that's superior to AI, the quantum brain. Warriors who seek to destroy the technology move out to a nearby galaxy because communication is slowed down by the speed of light. A intergalactic war starts between AI, peaceful humans and the warriors. Peaceful humans continue to pursuit technological advancements to defend themselves from both AI and warriors.
