I have personally seen gambling fuck up way more lives than drugs, and this was before it was being shoved down our throats. It's honestly disgusting how shameless the advertising has been, getting people to gamble like degenerates in "garbage time." Or poking fun at people "losing their shirt" in Buffalo. And don't even get me started at how they are using fantasy sports to get kids hooked early.

Fuck this so much. I know entire families - children, parents, grandparents - who've been put through hell over this.

Man I really feel for that guy. I know it's easy to poke fun because it's the Internet, but he's clearly in genuine emotional pain

Yeah no if he blew all his money on booze we’d be sympathetic to him as he’d be obviously a serious alcoholic. This is an addict suffering at the hands of his addiction.
