So you can’t empathize with gambling addicts because you can’t understand how they don’t value the money being lost, yet your entire comment is about how the fun of gambling has nothing to do with value or money?
It seems weird to me that people can’t wrap their around the fact that gambling addiction has pretty much nothing to do with money.. yet justify their own “harmless” gambling actions by saying it isn’t about the money. You aren’t that different from the problem gambler, just be glad you don’t fall into the 1% of people who destroy their lives over gambling.
- Auracle 4y agoI suppose with all addictions it's a matter of degrees, no? I like to have sex. I like to play videogames. I'm not addicted to either, because that's simply not what I want to do all day. I don't play the lottery or do pulltabs. I've watched people spend literally $500 on pulltabs and maybe get $10 or $20 back. Loot boxes were different to me because I was always getting something and I wasn't looking for something specific. It was a "fun" way to spend $5 a month or whatever on the main videogame I was playing at the time. If it was $5 and 90% of the time I'd get literally nothing, I wouldn't have done it.
