This is like a joke from MASH. Paraphrased:

Colonel Potter offers Radar a cigar.

Radar: Aren't they habit forming?

Potter: I've been smoking every day for 40 years, never picked up the habit.

I really need to watch M.A.S.H.

Highly recommend, it's one of my comfort shows. If you liked Scrubs, you'll probably like Mash.

i will say that Uncut Gems made me understand why people can get so invested in sports gambling. i was shaking near the end and was so into that basketball game being played

I've experience with a family member succumbing to addiction. I couldn't watch that movie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That movie was concentrated anxiety for me. The gambling was one thing but just for a second, I wanted a moment of near silence instead of people yelling lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

That's exactly why I couldn't finish that movie, so many people talking, no one listening.

If he's been doing it every day for 20 years and can still afford to, he must be doing something right, right?

Functioning alcoholic tier gambler.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Or he has an enabler. Like rich grand parents

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He is in sports gambling as a profession. Writes about, gives advice, predictions, etc.

Oh man. I liked this post better when I thought it was a good joke.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah wtf! I thought this was a great "Ken M"-style troll, well done really. But this guy being serious makes this absurd.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

so his enablers are other addicts.. he's a pusher..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

He is a pusher, but his enablers are more like major casinos, sports organizations, etc. He is a dealer high on his own supply

They say if you if you got a song in your heart you should just go sing it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That moment when you can't tell if John is a great troll or a terrible addict...

Or was he?

(Jeboa app takes to the wrong comment for some reason)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I would lean more towards the guy being serious, but at the same he's so bold and oblivious to what being an addict means that for a moment it makes you think he's just messing with people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So wholesome. Follow your passions.
