dude is serious. WTF
I would lean more towards the guy being serious, but at the same he's so bold and oblivious to what being an addict means that for a moment it makes you think he's just messing with people.
So wholesome. Follow your passions.
no regrats
i will say that Uncut Gems made me understand why people can get so invested in sports gambling. i was shaking near the end and was so into that basketball game being played
That movie was concentrated anxiety for me. The gambling was one thing but just for a second, I wanted a moment of near silence instead of people yelling lol
That's exactly why I couldn't finish that movie, so many people talking, no one listening.
I've experience with a family member succumbing to addiction. I couldn't watch that movie.
If he's been doing it every day for 20 years and can still afford to, he must be doing something right, right?
Functioning alcoholic tier gambler.
Or he has an enabler. Like rich grand parents
He is in sports gambling as a profession. Writes about, gives advice, predictions, etc.
Oh man. I liked this post better when I thought it was a good joke.
Yeah wtf! I thought this was a great "Ken M"-style troll, well done really. But this guy being serious makes this absurd.
so his enablers are other addicts.. he's a pusher..
He is a pusher, but his enablers are more like major casinos, sports organizations, etc. He is a dealer high on his own supply
This is like a joke from MASH. Paraphrased:
Colonel Potter offers Radar a cigar.
Radar: Aren't they habit forming?
Potter: I've been smoking every day for 40 years, never picked up the habit.
I really need to watch M.A.S.H.
Highly recommend, it's one of my comfort shows. If you liked Scrubs, you'll probably like Mash.
They say if you if you got a song in your heart you should just go sing it.
Even if the song is ax murder?
