I don't have, I don't advice that I don't do and not happening on me. But if it's a situational talk, probably it's a good thing to advise to our friends that are in danger or bad situation that they're going that far with their gambling addiction. In my opinion, all of us have this side that we tend to be good talkers and advisers but then deep inside, we've got something that others don't know about us.
So, if you're that type of person that hides things towards other people about your gambling mentality. Is it a big deal? I don't think so, there's no need to be guilty about it and if you're just trying to help other people with your experiences and advises, it doesn't matter but if that person you're advicing starts to ask you if you're also a follower of your advice, then you have to be honest on them whether you or not.
Because there is this bias from other people that they only listen to people that are reputable and true to their words not just an all talk and cheap talk guy or gambler but does things on their own and can prove that they're following their advises to the other people.

It's because he's a public figure and any backlash that he receives comes from his both fans and haters. It's true that he's not endorsing poker or to gamble and only does his own thing as a hobby and just caught during that moment. Nowadays, people are too sensitive whilst for him, this is just nothing but a hobby or some casual pastime that he wanna do. While there are other footballers that have been endorsing casinos and as well as gambling, they don't get that much backlash because they don't actual gamble and only are there to endorse and promote.
Whilst for the ones that are actually doing it, they're there to do what's necessary for them and as a normal thing to be done without having any malicious intention to encourage people in doing so. Him being a public figure is always in scrutiny to whatever he has been doing and he's not alone on this thing. All of the celebrities and athletes that have been raking in millions in salary are always in the eyes of the paparazzi's trying to scoop out of anything that they do so that they'll have content over them and gain themselves exposure on how they're able to got those news.

I agree that guns should be used mainly for target practice. I've seen issues about hunting and some of the incidents have become viral because it's not necessary to hunt specifically for endangered species. But what can we help with that? Nothing. Whatever the gun owners do wanna do with their guns, they'll do it. If it's for target practicing and it has become a hobby, that's much better but we don't hold the emotions of every gun owner and that's where the other harmful incidents start to happen.
It's true that most people don't have guns just like me but this is really a situational matter for most of the people especially those that are in a dangerous neighborhood. I don't know which state it is on the US to be specific and other countries as well. I hate it when I see news that there's a shooter that amok in schools and able to take down innocent lives. They shouldn't do it or if they wanna do and they lose their emotions and intellects, better not to harm anyone and do it to themselves.

In what locality or country you are living? There are a lot of localities where gambling is legal to their citizens but there are also places where they prohibit locals to gamble but only allows tourists to do it. If you're in Vegas or Macao then it's possible that you're part of the crowd that you'd gamble with anything that you have and there's no need to be ashamed of it when the biggest industry in your area is about gambling. As part of it, you're supporting your economy but at the same time, you're also enjoying and probably winnng some.

How much do you need from your salary to live comfortably? you don't need to answer how much your salary is but just take out what you need from there and whatever is left could be for your savings and as well as leisure and other recreational activities. Therefore, your gambling fund should come from there and set it coming from 1%-10% and whichever you are comfortable doing that and taking it out from means that you're not going to be problematic if ever you lose. That's why it's an amount that you afford to lose as we used to say.

It's a different category but it happens in real life that gambling can destroy someone's life and fortune. They're irresponsible gamblers and they don't see it coming and with their attention that have been purely included to gambling, they're having problems of reiterating if they're really smart or they've been outsmarted by the industry that they have been into it. Those that can't move on with gambling and have destroyed their lives on it, they probably have thought that they don't need someone's help and that's why they've took themselves to the path that they think they can handle it without asking anyone.

In general, it can hit everyone whether you're rich, poor, or average person. Whether you're professionally titled with your job or not, what matters here is that what you've said that it's not going to spare anyone with it. One thing that every gambler needs to remember is on how to handle our emotions because if we're not able to do it, we're just throwing our lives and money elsewhere without any direction.

Those that just bet and don't steal money from the others so that they can bet, there's no problem with that. There are mentally stable people but they're even more that does a lot of crazy things for them to be able to gamble. And with that, they should be the ones to get banned from entering into physical casinos or betting shops. Because if they're harming people, that's best for them to stay wherever they are and don't bring ruckus to the other gamblers that are happily gambling.
If they're not going to stop from doing those unnecessary things that bothers other gamblers in the betting shops, that's one reason to bar them from going in to the casino because they're too naughty and they don't understand how irritating it is when they're bothered by someone who's also a gambler but doesn't respect boundaries. And with that, it's best for the management to do actions before some customers request it to them to do it.

I understand where you are coming from but I am in a place that I can't think of something like that and that's why my attitude is like that. But I am very much open with the scenarios that can potentially happen to me if ever I visit some unknown neighborhood and places for me. I don't want to think that much about my family but I knew how it feels to lose someone with that scene because I've lost one brother of mine but fortunately, not with this kind of violence but more of a peaceful passing away. And that's what I am believing until now, I'm living at peace without owning one but who knows if I retaliate if somebody tries to do harm on me. I might run as I've said or I might have my revenge, I don't know because I don't want to think about it and I am just cherishing the peaceful living of this place that soon I am going to live. They're not warfreak and triggerhappy but it's a different ambiance that I don't like either and that's why I am just living and adjusting to them. But I won't ask for more compared to almost every neighborhood that owns a gun.

And I'd day without knowing who killed me but hey, it's in the city where a lot of houses are in each other and a lot of blocks that the shooter can't find me easily. Just kidding but yeah, that's the likely the scenario but I'd live on what I am believing about living with what I have and how I'd die.

That's why it's still a weapon that can do harm more than the good. Because even if you use it for self defense, it's either you will be hit or the person that's trying to attack you. But as crazy as it seems nowadays, we have to protect ourselves but for someone like me, I'm glad that I am living in a neighborhood that there's not a lot of gun owners or I just don't see them because they're hiding in the shadows and they don't want to get revealed that they're owning one. Thus, if they do, then they're all responsible gun owners.

Yeah, that seems to be a situation that your friend won't have any other choice because of the area. But fortunately, I know areas that are peaceful but livelihood there is limited and that's why I am saving up for my retirement to live there someday and when everything is up and good for me, I can have my passive income that will come to me while living the best life that I can. What matters to me is I'd live peacefully and I really have no plan of carrying one and I just treat it as a costly thing as well whether with registrations and stuff and as well as maintaining it.

My logic there is, you're a law abiding citizen but you anticipate that something might happen to you. Just as the hitmen that carry weapons, you also carry one so you might attract the same judgement. That's for me and what I believe so, quite confusing but this world is crazy. But I know that we have to protect ourselves with any potential danger but I wouldn't chose to go with hand on hand combat through guns. I'm a coward, I'll just avoid and run any potential danger while and until I can.

I am just speculating if they're going to re-sign their old members but most likely that they won't. It's best to have a revamp of their roster instead of welcoming their old line up because it seems that most of the older players don't really have that angst anymore. The young talents have a better future but with the help of the veterans to play as a coach or analyst will do the thing for them. With Riyadh masters and other majors having bigger prize pools now probably have attracted the management to be back at it again. I am amazed on the comments on the sub-reddit thread because it's true that they've been on their momentum until the pandemic came.

IMHO, Leviatan, the South American team with kpii and the team where Taiga was a former support should move to MENA. However, the team management is from there. But who knows if there are other organizations that are willing to go and start with their dota 2 team or some old organizations that has been out lately and will come back and start with the MENA region. As for TNC, I don't think that they'll relocate to MENA because the cost of operating a team there is much costlier than operating in their motherland which is the Philippines.

Hey folks, how are you? Not that much action this time for Dota 2. But I have seen this thread[1] on reddit of Dota 2 about the come back of TNC Dota 2 and I just want to know what do you think about it? is this for real? Will Kuku and the old TNC members will be taken back by the TNC organization or they'll start with a new roster? If I'll be the one to answer and do changes on it, I'd hire kuku not as a player but as the coach of the team. He seems to be an effective coach and he'd share his experience to the players and I'd add some new young bloods on it probably the younger ones who's a carry and mid lane as they're more aggressive and fearless. The replies on that thread are actually fun to read.

I think even with that change of laws about allowing every citizen to protect themselves to carry a gun. I'd still choose not to, it also varies in which neighborhood you live and I know that even you know people in your surroundings, you just don't know when these criminal minds will attack even their neighbors. But I've got this belief that if I live by the gun then I'd die with a gun and IIRC, this is also in the scriptures but that's how I think right now. Maybe, I'm getting older and I just truly want a peaceful life and I let people do their own thing so I won't get bothered and I won't bother others too.
If the state allows to carry everyone guns, there's should be more restriction on who are allowed to carry. Because as much as we can see, this isn't the type of life that we want to live with and neighborhoods that have got these kind of people, you'll also be influenced with them and instead of living peacefully, you'd live in fear because you're aware that everyone is carrying their own arm. Anyway, I might be too confused or my reasoning is too complex but that's what I think suits for me and I don't want to get into it.

I have voted for desktop and with all of the replies here, the tally is 5 for desktop, 5 for mobile and 5 for laptop while there's no vote yet for tablet. For someone who likes to travel as a gambler, for sure that you guys have been bringing all of these devices with you except the desktop. Obviously, you can't bring your desktop with you but laptop, smartphone and tablets can be carried wherever you go.
The cons of these devices is that they're all battery operated and you have to always check it out when you carry them so that you will be able to use them if you want to gamble anytime. That's why a responsible gambler will check his devices if they're fully charged or at least 80% before they go. Whilst for the desktops, there's no need for that, they're plug and play and you're not going to think of any battery as it's going to last while you have electricity or until it wears out. If it's for comfort, we're all agreeing that desktops are the best compared to small screens of laptops, tablets and smartphones but there goes the pros and cons of each devices. But if you own all of them, then you have been blessed and prepared for anything.

It differs per culture and country where you at, while in the US it's mostly a common thing for every citizen to have their own guns and bring it wherever they go. I'd disagree with that, I don't want to bring this kind of thing and I'm not a trigger happy person but I just want to live and don't have any desire to carry gun on me at all times. I know that it is a dangerous times it is but there is this kind of people like me that don't feel comfortable when I have one on my pocket or bag.
While allowing everyone to carry a gun, getting a license sure is a tricky thing as well. Some people might pass to psychiatric tests that will allow them to carry and don't have some signs of being a triggerhappy but eventually, when they get involve to some ruckus and situations, that will change as our behavior is different when we're with a gun. We become braver and emotions are too happy because you'd think that by just clicking the trigger one time, it will make you superior than the others. There's no problem about using it protection but I won't get into trouble and will always plan wherever I go and will able areas that seems to be dangerous upon doing my research if I am not familiar to that area.

This is actually true, if we go ahead and be back to 2016-2017 era. Many investors were investing due to the influence of the others and not basically they've done their own research. It's important to know what you are investing and what you'd be doing with your money because you are responsible for what you do and not the other people. It sucks when you have invested to something or any crypto tokens or what not and then your main reason because a friend of yours told you to, or you've read a shill told you to do that, you're doing it the wrong way.

They have to realize this that we're all responsible for any results that we do with our money. If fortunately, the random investment that you do and you've just followed the herd and you became profitable, that's good. But I'd tell you that it only happens rarely and this is not going to happen at most times, so it is best to rely on your research, your knowledge. It doesn't have to be in depth, but you should have an idea on what you're doing and spent a couple of times trying to know the basics of it.

It's actually true that most of the gambling streamers, they're using demo accounts provided by the casino that they're marketing and advertising. And that's why you shouldn't be gullible with what they're making from there because they've been done to convince you to gamble and to make it look easy. This marketing method is done by a lot of casinos and if you're not fond of the gambler, you have to observe it because if not then you're one of the many that they're fooling around and all they want you to do is to sign up under them.

That's part of the plan, they're promoting the casinos that they're affiliated with or they want to earn commissions from. But most of them are sponsored and for them to gain more money from their viewers, earning from their link is one of the ways for them to maximize profit aside from the sponsorship that they're paid to do it from the casino. So that it will make it look like legitimate from the eyes of the viewers.

Everyone has their own exit plan but I am not thinking that anymore because I've made a lot of mistakes before and did sold before the bull run came. Researches and analysis like this is what makes me to be more patient this time compared in the last bull run.


And even without too deep analysis about every halving, you'd notice the difference of gains every time that the halving has passed. It could 1 year that has passed or for several months and we'd see that the bull run has actually come.

I agree, your end game is probably going to take longer than what you're expecting to be because you'd just hold and wait until the price of Bitcoin reaches to the point that it's no longer from what your expected price. And every halving, the scarcity of Bitcoin is what makes the demand higher so as the price so, with basic knowledge about what happens during the halving makes you want to hold more.

It was actually a big deal because it's money laundering but with fame, money and influence, the sentence was lessened down and also where the charges against Binance were settled down with a hefty fine wherein that's became basis of many other countries where Binance operates. Anyway, Binance and CZ got away with it and so if he gets out of it, the sins were already paid for by him and his company and whatever his next moves, we'll see.

We shouldn't keep our funds even on Binance. But CZ is not anymore connected to Binance in paper because it's Richard Teng that has replaced him as the CEO of the company. But we do not know how the things in paper does with these kind of positioning but I'm pretty convinced that he's still connected to them even if there's this succession and resignation that has been announced before.

There's no Kawhi but yeah, having that lead by the Mavs is questionable. LOL

Wait until the Clippers and Mavs game is done. But it's so hard to think of which is which and whom will win. As long as there's the ball game for the Clippers and the Mavs, you don't know if it's going to be the Thunders and the Mavs already. Let's wait until the game ends as the series is now at 3-2 in favor of the Mavs. What I am excited for is the game of the Nuggets and the Timberwolves, Gobert versus Jokic and let's see who's better under the ring.

I've seen no hands painters but they're able to make good paintings out of their feet. Amazing isn't it? This is why talent is inborn and whatever situation you are in, you'd definitely find a way to showcase it. And these people aren't giving up in life and they always are giving me the inspiration to keep on moving because I don't know how long I shall stay on this world because of many tough challenges, but seeing people like them gives me the reason not to give up.
It is harder for them to fight life but they're the bravest of them all and showing that a person like me that has complete hands and no problems physically shouldn't give up with what I am dealing with. Because if they're able to go on and not give up with the challenges that they're going to face forever, I should set them as an example and for the others too, you should take a look at these people that keeps on doing what they can do in their capacity and despite of being incomplete, they're not complaining at all but still does everything normally.
