Nothing about it should ever be CONVENIENT. Convenience is poison to addicts.
gambling should only be legal in physical casinos or like shady backroom poker clubs. you should have to go to a real place. the Internet should not be involved.

All my favourite artists are drug addicts

Mad dead drug addicts

And Kojima I guess

In my career, I've interviewed enough coke addicts to recognize all these signs. bsky.app/profile/atru...
I saw this clip circulating and pulled it for myself because it almost looked fake. Nope! It's real. What in the heck is going on with Don Jr's eyes? I don't think I've ever seen someone look this high on camera before.

In the U.K. the industry's own stats show they they make well over 80% of all their profits from just 10% of their customers. The industry can only survive due to the losses of gambling addicts. It should be banned.

is that it, are all the professional pollsters just gambling addicts now

ugh, this is so common. it’s also why gambling addicts have higher levels of suicide than other addicts. the hidden shame is absolutely crushing. and now we have tv ads encouraging you to give it a try!
A former partner of mine had an online poker addiction. Indeed, he was at rock bottom before I knew. And we were living together.

Safe consumption sites for gambling addicts

Also there's no limit to the expense. Drug addicts only need to spend enough to get high

This strikes me like writing a story about an alcoholic and using it to say that yes alcohol is as bad as it seems.

There are literally hundreds of millions of adults who gamble each year without becoming addicts just like there are billions of adults who drink alcohol without becoming addicts.
the scariest thing about this story is it confirms everything about sports gambling is as bad as it seems — and getting worse www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

i am pro decriminalization/legalization. for all drugs. harm reduction means so much to me. addicts are worthy of respect and care.

do stock markets do anything useful or are they just an excuse to put the entire economy at the mercy of a bunch of gambling addicts

You know many wealthy addicts OD.

Nothing strikes me as healthier than the people with more cocaine running through their veins than blood and gambling addicts.

Yes, addicts often know they are addicts and that doesn't give them a magic tool to stop, it does help as a first step

People die being addicts to things they know they're addicts of, that's why addiction is bad

Maybe I'm missing the point that's being made
worth noting: every single person nick berardini interviews in this story, besides the anthropologist who identified why slot machines are addictive, says they are addicted to gambling

Are gambling addicts worse to deal with than other people with addictions?

Startling amount of racism in the comments here, so many insensitive jokes implying all Khajiit are Moon Sugar/Skooma addicts. Really disappointed in Bsky moderation for allowing this sort of hateful rhetoric to stand.
Khajit has coin if you have wares

Finally, a game for lesbian breeding enthusiasts who are also gambling addicts.

I work with a lot of nurses who are without a doubt gambling addicts but play more traditional casino games, not sports gambling
November 15, 2026 at 12:27 PM
Like addicts, which they are imho

Cold turkey fanfiction addicts vs raging racist uncles, total family armageddon
November 15, 2026 at 1:27 AM
You see ex-cocaine addicts all the time, but how many ex-cheese addicts do you see? I rest my case.

20% of gambling addicts attempt suicide.

i don’t want even my worst enemy to suffer in the way active addicts suffer
November 11, 2026 at 5:45 PM
so many of y'all are really just trying to find nice ways to say "i think addicts deserve to starve" and i hate it
