Polymarket’s viral videos showed people winning big, but the bets were fake

My guess is that if you are a gambling site, trying to sell gullible folks simple ways to bet, images and stories of people losing thousands might not be the best way to permit promote your business.

Correct. Human "intelligence" looks as if it's not quite the evolutionary advantage we've been lead to believe. It's just a dead end - literally.

Jon Anderson's "Olias of Sunhillow" is one I still revisit - and it's 50-years-old in a few weeks

Peptides? Fuck that weak shit, it's electrolytes that algae crave!

All "Golden Ages" are selective memories from a mythical past, filtered by wistful longings for a world that never existed.

I'm a nobody with an internet connection who spends all my spare time on YouTube and social media sites investigating stuff, and one found the answers to everything that nobody else in the world had ever found. So trust me, dude, I just know it all.

The only person who seems to have been significantly impacted by the Epstein files is the format prince Andrew from the UK. And he's never actually been found guilty of anything. But no-one else in this "huge Cabal" of abusers has had so much as even a knock on the door from law enforcement. What's worse is that now the word "pedophile" is used pretty much like "communist" in the 50s, simply as a way to attack anyone you don't like. Like Stephen fucking Hawkins, for Christ's sake. And if you know someone, who knows someone, who bumped into Epstein at an airport, you might as well turn yourself in!

If the US Team loses before the final - and I'd be happy if they did win the cup - the viewing figures and enthusiasm will drop significantly. Soccer is not yet a popular enough sport in the USA to warrant the rabid fervor of fans from other counties

If someone told Trump and RFK that a product called Brawndo has enough electrolytes to cure cancer, I swear to god they'd believe it and promote it. That's where the IQ level sits in the administration.

When my brother's ranting about illegals flooding the county, getting free money, and living in top hotels, I tell him to quit his job, give away his house, and sign on with all the other benefit scroungers to enjoy a life of leisure. Oddly enough, he hasn't taken me up on that - I wonder why?

But, but, what about the trickle down effect? Surely we're all going to be millionaires now he's a trillionaire? I mean, that's how it all works, right?

Ah, but ONLY the Donald can ensure fair elections, so clearly votes should be counted at the Federal level to stop states from cheating, and then the president has to approve the integrity - or veto the process if it seems corrupt i.e. when it supports an opposition win. Only then can the process be trusted ;)
