From stock market gambling, LLM gambling, Crypto gambling, or sports betting gambling gambling, to subscription services for every thing and reduction of consumer protections, E-V-E-R-Y F-U-C-K-I-N-G T-H-I-N-G in this world is a god damned scam.

I remember one of my peers from high school dropped out to start gambling his money on the stock market (ASX), and didn't have any other plans for careers or anything. I wonder how it's going for him.
