The difference is that black market gambling is distributed. It means that there are fewer protections for people who engage in it but more people profiting from it.

But legalization just means most of the action is controlled by a handful of corporations, and the government is involved in protecting the flow of money, of which they get a cut.

Why limited to young men in new york?

That’s like saying that submerging a young man’s head in water for over five minutes could lead to death.

Pessimistic me expected this all along; the goal is to make immigrants feel unsafe no matter where they are, even if ICE only targets some areas when they feel like it.

It’s the same way Trump approaches everything else.

This is getting way too much airtime.

Most people have taste receptors in their gut as well as on their tongue. It helps regulate how quickly your muscles contract to move stuff along through your intestine.

Some people don’t have as many, and some people build up a tolerance to capsaicin (in both their mouth and gut).

Dump it out and use it like any other popcorn. It’s pre-salted and the bag contains the oil you’d otherwise need to add.

But don’t put it in an air popper; the oil is likely to catch fire or just cause the kernels to burn.
