My partner and half his family have this gambling bug. You can see it in their eyes. You can see it when they win (not that often.) You see it in the veiled “next time we will win” excuses when they lose (most of the time.) I am glad I don’t have …this vice.
I went all in and it gave me brain freeze. Best vacation ever!
Use the app Brokada 5 or the paid one Brokada 6. I use the free version, tells you if an app has trackers and what they are, blocks bad ones.

Rodneyck@lemm.eeto [moved to piefed] movies@lemm.ee•Michael B. Jordan Did the Impossible — In an era of mounting crises, the "Sinners" star got people off their couches and into cinemas for an original filmEnglish2·2 months agoI agree with your point about it inspiring …better film making and originality, that is sorely needed. However, to see a film doesn’t mean getting back into the theater, especially since theaters started dying/declining even before COVID, dating back in the early 2000’s. Great films aren’t going to save movie houses. Streaming took away all the downsides of seeing a film; cost, audience annoyances, bad food and travel time to see one. They will still be around, like drive-in theaters were for film buffs and nostalgia.
Rodneyck@lemm.eeto [moved to piefed] movies@lemm.ee•Michael B. Jordan Did the Impossible — In an era of mounting crises, the "Sinners" star got people off their couches and into cinemas for an original filmEnglish5·2 months agoIt was a really well done movie, interweaving a main story with interesting characters, interweaving time periods, an homage to blues and some blue’s heroes, and at the heart lies a classic horror genre made fresh. This one took me by surprise. I plan on watching it a second time, just to recapture its essence again.
Now with that said, did it really rescue the film industry? I say no. One great one amongst a flow of mediocre movies you would wait and see at home, does not save the day or the movie theaters.
No, lots of us. Who wants to be the first to confront them and tell them the truth? One of our family members just had one, sent out photos. I swear, it looked like a 97 year old man. It got lots of likes. 🤷♂️ I made the comment to my partner that it must of been over-baked.
A confusing term. All the left leaning terms have been corrupted by the MSM and the uni-party system. I like to say neo-con/neo-liberal, pretty much both the same, to identify the left and right. There aren’t any real far left/old school liberalism/pro-worker in the democratic party, as much as the uni-party and MSM will tell you there is. They are now mostly independents. The neo-liberals would like you to believe AOC, Bernie and hand full of others are their progressive “left libs” but they are not. They are neo-liberals. Anyone telling you to vote for the neo-liberal candidate…is a straight up neo-liberal despite whatever game face they are pretending to play.
Speaking from experience, it is all well and good until you hit a sand crab.

I guess it is a wash? Good luck with that, they are burning through what little capital they have until the bank notes come due in 2026. Then we will see how they stand financially. Are those the bells sounding bankruptcy?

Probably won’t go to the theater to see it, but it will be a popcorn fest on the couch.
If you didn’t know what my point was, how can then formulate your own point from it? So confusing. 🤔
