Politics is nothing but coordinated violence, in that it is nothing but coercion of people against their own interests. If you’re an interested party, than youre adding to the coercion of others. If you stay out of it, then it’s not political to you is it?

Politics:violence

Politics:economics

Economics:violence

Try telling people whose rent has doubled or tripled within a decade that economics isn’t violence. You’ll experience some carnal violence in return, I’m sure.

Politics = violence; it’s the NC-17 version, violence all grown up and sophisticated. Sanitized for TV, in it for the sound bites. In fact, I’d say at least half of it is theatre alone. It’s even been packaged up for the people to play along from home. The evolution of violence, fun for the whole family. I mean, what else would we talk about come holidays? HELPING each other?!?

Has existential crisis Adds philosopher to resume

Binges new rabbit hole every night Adds polymath to resume

That’s the standard issue. Helmet on soldier, you wanna live forever?

Yip. I took the government what, 17 years…? from suing to breaking up AT+T, and they were the largest company in America that entire time.

At+t tried to slap em with some exorbitant long distance charges and Uncle Sam got tired of the fuck around.

To today; Google’s been showing the wrong people the wrong kind of ads. Showing representatives ads for laundromats and daycares that offer drivinga ed after looking up how to launder money and traffic children. NO google, I did NOT mean THAT

Its allowed. Using a tool to help you IS NOT.

Betting table max, 3 hands, out of nowhere is a big indication you’re counting. It is, after all, a betting strategy.

And casinos stop it because if they allow it it could shut the whole place down. A business that loses money doesn’t stay open for long.

I’ve been a shift manager at casinos for years. I can tell the counters a mile away. I can deal a shoe and tell you the count at any point. I don’t kick em out, but I’ll flat bet them. Say the betting spread is $5-$500, right? They’ve played 10 hands at $5, now they bet $500. I’ll walk over and place a new placard on the table, $25-$25. They can only bet $25 a hand, no variation.

Anyone who’s there to press an advantage will walk immediately. And then we’ll make a dossier on them and it’ll get shared, nationally.

Yep. It is like that. Would you expect less, c’mon.
