    I work at a gas station, and it's actually annoying how much lottery many people play every day. People come into the store EVERY DAY and will stay for an hour plus scratching tickets. It's actually infuriating, because I can't get shit done from going back and forth cashing and selling tickets. It wouldn't be so bad if it was only one or two people, but it's 10+ at the store I work at. It's also infuriating seeing people just blow money on something that is fake. No one really wins the lottery. I've had a lady come in and buy a whole roll of $30 tickets, a roll of $10 tickets, and six $50 tickets, totalling $1,500. That is ridiculous. Must be nice being able to blow that much paper just for some slightly thicker paper that may give you even more paper. But the government gets a cut of that paper. The world is phucked.

    It is times like this I wish more people would watch that Mr. Beast video where he buys 1 million dollars worth of lottery tickets. He managed to turn 1 million dollars into roughly 750k. I love that video because it shows just how well calculated the negative returns are. A lottery is essentially just a 25% tax on people dumb enough to buy them.

    Toho and Kurosawa did win in court, but Sergio Leone went on to make the trilogy anyway. despite Fistful being a shot-for-shot remake of Yojimbo, the plagiarism having been proven empirically, it is still rarely talked about.
    there's getting away with it officially, and *getting away with it* culturally.

    In China, there are two types of official lotteries: 體彩 (Sport Lottery) and 福利彩 (Welfare Lottery). Scratch cards can only be bought in official lottery shops. However, most people who bet on sports choose to do so online. These underground platforms are illegal, but the betting odds in the official sports lottery are just too low. That's why people choose online betting with better odds. I know this may sound foolish, but in a culture that encourages people to do anything to reach the top, this actually makes sense. Cheating is a part of their culture. You can see that they would rather have false hope from scratch cards than work on themselves.
    I am aware of these things because I used to work at one of these betting companies. Almost all of our customers were there to "get rich or die trying."

    Just carrying all the cameras is low-key genius, I can't imagine how stressful being told "Hey we lost your luggage with the 70 thousand dollars worth of camera equipment, whoops our bad lol" must be, it happened to the Trash Taste lads a while back.

    i worked at gas station
    in 2008 -2010
    saw lotto at least double year on year during that time
    also no legit casinos in china expect for the illegal ones run by gangs
    so lotto is the only form of legit gambling
