There's a book called Recipes For Disaster by Crimethinc, which is an actual Anarchist Cookbook, has less bombs and stuff, but there's a lot of neat stuff that will actually work.

Good to know, thanks! I'll wait for the website to return then

You're not wrong. There's serious issues with the gambling industry that need to be dealt with, as well as outside social problems driving people to it.

That doesn't mean the whole concept of a lottery needs to be thrown out, or that anyone who participates is an idiot.

For real. I buy a ticket occasionally just because it's fun to think about what I'd do with the money for the few days before the draw. Worth the $2 in entertainment value. I'll occasionally win $10 or something, which is a bonus. I fail to see the issue with people spending an inconsequential amount of money for funsies.

It's the people who spend hundreds on lottery tickets that are the problem. Even then, people with gambling problems aren't idiots, they're desperate people who are being taken advantage of by the gaming industry.

That's not how our parliament works. The amount of people calling for an end to the speaker's independence is concerning.

The speaker's job is to uphold decorum of parliament. This one spectacularly failed to do that, and resigned as he should. That doesn't mean we should make it a partisan position.

Jesus, everyone involved in this shit is so deranged. God I hope the "Scene" dies out with the next generation, just chill people releasing cracks without following a tome of rules and schizoposting.

I think they made the correct call to hire a third-party to investigate this. A lot of things that are happening is LMG not treating themselves like a real company, rather a group of friends with a YouTube channel.

There's been a lot of incompetence and mistakes that happened because of the company's grindset, but they're not evil. They made some serious fuck-ups, and need to take major action to remedy them. I feel like a lot of people don't want to see these issues fixed, they just want to pull out the pitchforks.
