Don’t blind everyone on the road because you’re too dumb to adjust your headlights.

I made a couple hundred dollars with the bonus bets from DraftKings last week and similar with FanDuel this week. I always withdraw most of the winnings however.
It’s not your place to tell people what they can do with their money. Gambling restrictions are stupid and puritanical.

I've never played that ticket. I only play "$4,000,000 JUMBO CASH," "BILLION DOLLAR EXTRAVAGANZA" and "Diamond Millions." The guy at the Park Plaza 7-11 is like my stockbroker. His motto is "I only get paid if YOU get paid!"

The headlights are so bright now you don’t need the high beams anywhere. I’m glad you can see 15 miles ahead of you but it’s no good when I’m blind coming towards you

And I agree with that, I’m just explaining how/why it happens

A number of years ago I drove a friend to traffic court and someone tried to make that argument. The judge didn't buy it and upheld the ticket.

the author is saying "I can do this because I am educated and have an article in the Globe, but if you are not an Associate Professor of Humanities with degrees in English and Religion, FanDuel is far too complicated for you!"

Had a deer jump out at the 495/290 interchange one night. I might not have seen it if I didn't have my high beams on.

I’ve got a 2019 HRV Sport that has manual lights. They should be standard now but nope.

definitely! I keep telling people that betting the over/under requires very complicated and difficult to navigate methods...
It's like how not everyone knows you need to scratch your scratchers bottom left, than middle, then top right, then top left. If you scratch them in the correct order, you can make money from it.. scratchers arent slot machines.

Reply to Interesting Globe article about how DCF avoids going through the courts when they take custody of children by dazzlingupstairz
Of course they are doing this to purposefully hide from the courts.
​
It's why civil asset forfeiture (Thanks Biden! , teaming up with his best pal Strom Thurmond and Reagan to pass it) is designed to make it impossible to afford to challenge it unless you are already rich.
​
This is why due process is so significant. Life, Liberty, Property (and probably a fourth one, Family, should be explicitly added) cannot be taken from people without due process of law.
​
Nothing in this case even suggests the children were in imminent danger. DCF knew the court would never give them an order so they waited until the court house was closed to fuck a family over, maybe damage their finances permanently and scar their children for life.

I actually just got the car inspected yesterday and they didn’t raise any concerns about the headlights. If I bring it in for service in the future I’ll try to remember to ask if there’s a concern there.

2%?
I mean, there might be a few people making extreme bets like that (what would that be...+150000? 😅)
But there are usually substantially more winners than that. Closer to ~50%.

Honestly not something I would attempt myself no matter how much advice I got anywhere, so no worries there.
