    Casinos I just look at as another form of entertainment. I earmark a certain amount to spend over the trip, and that's typically it. If you gamble to try to win, you are going to walk out with sadness and disappointment.

    Most people are stupid and don't look at it this way.

    Yeah. It's scary. I do have an addictive personality, but thankfully my gambling is curbed by the fact i'm a cheap son of a bitch that doesn't like spending money, especially on myself.

    To be fair there are professional gamblers out there who make their living at it. Usually playing blackjack or poker though. Also there are groups out there who network together and track the casinos then send out word when one has made a change to their play rules that tips the odds in favor of the player even if it is just by a few percentage points then the group goes and mobs the casino.

    Marketing people have in the past made changes to the math of casino games to make them more attractive to players without checking with their mathematicians and lost the casino millions of dollars in just a day or two.

    I took a senior level math class in college devoted to just casino math and our teacher was amazing. You wouldn't believe some of the stories he told us about situations like that.

    Yeah that's why I see it as more of a tax on stupid. If you are playing to win unless you are skilled playing certain games and know the math behind it you are an idiot.

    I'm going to finish my last year of graduate school with a full ride. I was able to land a teaching assistant position finally which offers a tuition waiver and a hefty monthly stipend that will be able to pay for room and board. Beyond happy because fuck these loans. That means I can actually make some money this summer and pay off some accumulated interest from the last 8 months.

    So okay. I got some good news, this time this is not a drill.

    My brother who's been out of work a year, FINALLY got a job. With the FDA. He got his badge and orientation date today. Hurray!

    Yes I am aware of that. Though some of those groups are relatively large when they all get together at a single casino.

    And then they wonder why people say romance is dead.

    I'm kidding. Free strawberries!

    Free strawberries is always a good thing. Did they skimp out and get mostly melon? If so, ditch and dismiss.

    Emphasize the usage of your mouth while looking out of your cubicle/work area. Whoever stares is it.

    If many people stare, it was a joint effort. Obviously.
