The obsession boring people have with thinking that someone is going to hack their webcam and record some sort of salacious content of them is astoundingly broad. To the point that very mundane people have web cam covers for their laptops or the little piece of post-it note taped over. Like people, no one gives enough of a shit about you that they will hack your camera and even if they did what are you doing that you care so much? If the answer is nothing then you are the last person that needs to worry about someone hacking a fucking webcam.

Its especially confusing because for many, many years, and even still today, American's are pushed to be UNIQUE and whenever anyone is UNIQUE then people criticize them for enjoying or doing things outside whatever is ubiquitous for whatever thing. Its ridiculous honestly.

Kind of surprised to see no one has suggested this. You can take the CD-Keys from the manuals and inside the boxes and most of them can be added to Steam. If it doesn't work on Steam then it most likely will work on Epic. I have a bunch of old CD/DVD based games and I was able to add most of them to my Steam Library using the CD-Keys. Turns them into Digital Copies.

Besides your examples there are only a handful of games where the player has so much as an even chance against the casino and even then it requires doing extra skill based efforts. One example is card counting in blackjack, using basic strategy you can lower the house edge to something like 1% or even a little lower depending on the rules of the table. Counting is the only way to push the edge in the players favor in blackjack. Even then, its taking what is around a 48% chance for favorable player outcomes and barely nudging it to a 50-51% chance for the player. Roulette has some of the best odds, something like a 7-8% chance to land on any one number and with hedge bets those odds go up without any input from either side but even then the house edge in that is still ludicrously high by comparison to blackjack, baccarat or poker.

Physical slots "feel" less likely to be rigged than digital slots but as another commenter said it depends on the jurisdiction one finds themselves in as to whether that is true or not. The state would like their cut too so most regulators want to keep the games fair as fair games draw players in. Rigged games eventually lose casinos business cause word spreads among the players. Overall digital slots just feel less trustworthy and most likely are less trustworthy.

Its astounding how gullible a majority of them actually are.

Cause they see themselves in Trump, a career criminal. That's why his most ardent supporters are mostly people that normal people wouldn't want to really associate with on a long term basis. His supporters are fucking gullible and insane to boot.

I would love if the US adopted a Euro style social democracy. Shit would be so much better.
