the house can only make $1 per play, and the bettor can make a functionally unlimited amount.

see the martingale strategy. you are basically sticking the house with a martingale strategy in which you get to decide when they bet.

it’s still not less suffering or GHG/pollution, only more.

the industry has ceaseless growth.

being vegan hasn’t decreased the size of the animal agriculture industry or even stopped it’s growth. for what reason do you think it would have any impact on the planet or animal suffering?

lots of people talk about economics as though it is science.

it’s storytelling, not science

“basic economic principles” is handwaving. you’re storytelling, not making a scientific postulate

Laws are made entirely on morals.

this has never been true

no reforestation has been caused by cutting meat out of ones diet. all reforestation efforts, in fact, have nothing at all to do with diet.

this uses poore nemecek 2018 and so it can be safely ignored

thank you

good tip

i mean… i see how the us treats julian assange and kimdotcom… i’d hate to get caught infiltrating the australian government’s computer systems under false pretenses. if i ever get over the equator tho, i’ll be sure to check it out in person.

you’re not wrong

yo! great find! while the only one on the list that will issue a free card to non residents is in wisconsin, someone in the comments pointed us to sunnyvale california! woot. add another card to my libby stack.

i have to say, as i look around for libraries/library systems that offer what i want and i think about, for instance, the netflix or disney+ or whatever fees… libraries are dirt cheap even if i end up shelling out a couple bucks. netflix is what, 25 bucks a month now? that’s $300/year. i could get access to some pretty awesome libraries for that.

thanks! looks like they charge $40/y for nonresidents now
