Are there any casinos that let you put down a hundred thousand on blackjack, let alone a hundred billion?

Nah, the max bet is 200 caps per hand.

The trick is to play the lottery instead of blackjack. It's much faster.

You can easily win $100,000,000 at some casinos, as seen in the documentary Casino Royale, but you should probably wear a cup.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Being remotely 'good' at gambling games, if skill is even a factor at all, requires a lot of mental effort and concentration that casinos are specifically designed in every way to make sure you run out of, quickly.

I love playing low stakes blackjack, but I once sat at the casino war table in Bally's Vegas down $200 for the day and left it up $300. And that's after accounting for all the free + tip drinks.

It's all a joke.

If you know how to bet, Blackjack is the easiest game to lose slowly at, and sometimes you get lucky and actually win.

I feel like that's in a Yakuza game. And I do wonder if there's Japanese players who get thrown by the Western card games and gambling, though probably less so given American cultural dominance.

I went into a pachinko parlor in japan put in a 1000 yen, the balls all went flying, a bunch of evangelion clips played, a slot machine started spinning and I lost everyting in like 20 seconds, and I left not even sure what had remotely happened.The seat was a cool and shaped like an eva though, so probably worth it.

One of our main right-wing politicians is a lesbian because I guess she hates foreigners more than she wants to be in a party that is not openly bigoted against her? You'd think that having her fellow party members openly complain about having to have "one of those" around for political clout would clue her in that they'll turn on her as soon as they get rid of the common "enemy", but clearly it doesn't.

Perhaps not the same, but I know a woman who’s father was in the SS and she said when she confronted him about that he said something like (paraphrasing) “It wasn’t that I hated the Jews next door or our Jewish doctor, it’s that we were made to feel like it was the Jews over there that were the problem.” And it snowballed from there.

This is a similar thing you hear with people who have like one black friend and they say “I can’t he racist I have a black friend!” despite actually being deep down a racist.

I imagine it’s a case of, for the right-wing colleagues of “well SHE isn’t one of the bad ones” as well as her thinking “well I am one of the GOOD ones and there are others that I hate TOO” that somehow aligns with the ideology.

Edit: oh Jesus this isn’t a recent page quote sorry.

The trick is to do that a hundred more times in which case you'll win some money and lose way more but you'll get to sit in the eva chair for like half an hour and that's really worth it

I agree with her that being a college football player doesn't make you automatically stupid even if you get a degree in paint-by-numbers studies or some such thing.

Clearly if we want to stop attacks at the border we shouldn't have borders at all. Can't attack something that doesn't exist, right?

Ambassadors are political appointees, and frequently pieces of poo poo who politicked and bought their way to the position; they are also probably able to pretend to be human at work. And expertise =/= compassion.

Is it really an open border if it was a checkpoint the car crashed into? To me, if the border was truly open they wouldn’t have crashed into anything, just plowed straight through the US to the other side. Then it’s Mexico’s problem, simple.
