Hey...

Don't forget my correct predictions about The Little Mermaid and Elemental failing in the box office.

Or my soon to be proven prediction that Indiana Jones 5 is going to flop too.

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

Praise for oneself as a Nostradamus

Why, why Jack do you continue to post shit that shows you to be an idiot. Let’s examine my countdown threads that you say go back 6 years, and were all wrong, Ok?

My countdown until Trump is impeached thread. Well, he was not only impeached, he was impeached twice. All the while you said it would not happen. A hundred times Jack you said it wouldn’t happen. That makes me right, you wrong.

My countdown until Trump goes to jail thread. Well, he has been indicted twice now. He has with both indictments maybe 67 felony charges? Now because I know there are more indictments coming, I created a new thread explaining he has been indicted and what's to come. When he loses in court both threads will be updated to show he is going to jail. You said he will not even be indicted. You said over that same six-year period, about a hundred times he would not be indicted. Well, he was. Twice so far. That makes me right, you wrong.

I’ve stated he has at least two more indictments coming. I’ve decided to do a countdown to those indictments within the existing thread. How, by reminding readers they are still coming. I’ll remind you again, you’ve been wrong about it all. About it all Jack.

Now, some of what should have happened in the last six years that I didn’t foresee, was due to my not being able to anticipate the Republican Party completely imploding. Not only voting to ignore Trumps guilt as obvious as it was, but supporting him while selling out America. The reason, they are shitting themselves worrying about Trump having them primaried. Not to worry though, historians are already showing, by what they are saying about all this currently, I am right Jack, you are wrong.

During those six years Jack, while I was making accurate predictions, you were posting conspiracy theories. None of which came to fruition. All the false charges against Biden and his family for corruption to name one, another, the Durham report. 5 years and 6 million dollars later, nothing, he got destroyed, picked apart in the hearing as he desperately tried to imply, with no evidence, somebody, who, he doesn’t know, did something wrong. When asked what they did, he was forced to say he doesn’t know that either. Very fucked up.







I will admit I was not sure if 'they' whomever 'THEY' are ...would go so far as to arrest Trump

I mentioned that US Women's Soccer Team will not win the World Cup.

Movies seem to be making a comeback, Barbie and Oppenheimer then some more successful hits might come.

However next you will have delays from the writers strike and any movie delayed will cost extra money. Some Beyond more spider-Man the Spider-Verse thing, the Penguin, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, Blade, nu Superman, new Transformers, nu Avatar, Daredevil Born Again but I think this is 'tv', Deadpool 3, The new Avengers Kang Dynasty, new Captain America beyond Brave New World perhaps could face delays.

Expect Box Office Money

then expect flops some time ahead once again

Fire all of them. The writers and the actors. AI can do all the writer's work already, and 10 years from now we won't need the actors anymore either. Just one or two humans per company overseeing the AI until it's good enough to work without human interaction.

Love it or hate it, that's the future.

All those fucks told the coal miners to learn to code when they were losing their jobs.

Now they can fucking learn to code or die on the streets. They won't be missed.

I don't remember which thread(s) I posted about this in, but maybe Jaynez will necropost it and I'll remember to put it here.




The dark side of the US sports betting boom

Americans have bet $245bn on sporting events since restrictions were loosened in 2018. But many fear a surge in gambling addiction is coming


Coming? Did you not read what you wrote before the "But", FT?

Americans have bet $245 BILLION in 5 years on online gambling. BILLION!!!

This summer, Dylan, a 22-year-old trainee lawyer from the Jersey Shore, decided to come clean to his family and friends about a shameful secret: he had borrowed and gambled $50,000 in just over a year.

His first bet was a promo deal on the betting app DraftKings on last year’s Super Bowl: bet $5 on the eventual champion, win $300. Thanks to a last-gasp touchdown by the Los Angeles Rams, Dylan won. He then quadrupled his winnings playing online blackjack. He was hooked.

Dylan’s bets quickly became riskier. He maxed out four credit cards to place bets of up to $5,000 on everything from obscure tennis fixtures in China to Venezuelan women’s volleyball matches, using apps including FanDuel and Barstool Sportsbook.



Yup. That's how they get you. Too good to pass up deals or free money up front.


Best thing that ever happened to me in gambling was watching my buddy win $300 on the $20 slot machine next to mine while I turned $40 into nothing in a minute flat.

I'll be the first to admit I've got a very addictive personality (knowing full damned well that Second is going to throw that sentence in my face in the future because, stalker), but gambling never became an addiction for me for the same reason cocaine never became an addiction. Too damned expensive.



Quote:

Despite the harm they could be unleashing, state authorities are often conflicted because of the tax revenues generated from sports betting, which have contributed more than $3.4bn cumulatively to often-stretched budgets since 2018.



Well there you go.

And these motherfuckers still can't run balanced budgets and need to raise property, income and sales taxes because they can't possibly tax cigarettes or weed any more than they do for risk of people going black market or quitting altogether and destroying that revenue.

Our government needs an enema.
