Why do you have no curiosity when presented with a phenomenon that doesn’t make sense to you?
- Eumenes 3y agowhat's the phenomenon? how dumb and gullible the average person is? > We lie in bed next to each other, we have two tablets, two phones and a computer and all these apps spinning Reel Rivals at the same time am i supposed to feel bad?
- flappyeagle 3y agoHow can you not feel bad reading that?
- Eumenes 3y agoMostly because its pathetic and in a way, its poetic justice. Smart enough to save six figures, most definitely didn't cry victimhood when they "won big", but dumb enough to think that setting up multiple devices could improve their odds. Seems like they're sore losers, not victims.
- metabagel 3y agoHow can they be sore losers when there never was the possibility of winning anything?
- flappyeagle 3y agoJustice? Who did they harm?
- SamoyedFurFluff 3y agoWell you clearly said in your above post you’re just guessing. So you clearly understand you don’t understand something, but instead of expressing curiosity you assume a truth and derive conclusions from that. It strikes me as irrational, that’s why I’m asking you why you’re acting like this, because I have curiosity.
- Eumenes 3y agoI don't think its worth deeper introspection ... Gambling has winners and losers, the winners don't whine and the losers do, except now the media thinks its a cause worthy to parade around. Its a free country, you can spend your money how you want. Don't expect people to care if it works out or doesn't.
- metabagel 3y ago> the media thinks “The media” doesn’t think anything.
- SamoyedFurFluff 3y agoHow does an industry (media) think? Also what evidence are you using to glean the intentions of people who are voluntarily reported upon with their gambling financial troubles?
- mplewis 3y agoPeople don’t become addicted because they’re “dumb.” Addiction is a completely different beast
- Eumenes 3y agookay show me the rocket scientists and astronauts pumping six figures into casino mobile apps ... its not a kind thing to say, but at some point we just need to admit that certain behavior is prevalent in less intelligent individuals. using "addiction" as cover is just a means to avoid that unsavory debate.

We are all carrying enough of our own grief. But, it seems like you bear actual animosity towards people who are emotionally devastated. The least you could do is to maintain a neutral, non-judgemental point of view.
