    I’ve been to Vegas a couple of times, many years ago. I enjoyed the shows, food, and silly debauched spectacle of it all. But it gets old after a day or two.

    Did almost no gambling at all. The machines are very boring to me, and I’m too intimidated to play at a real game with other humans. I would misunderstand the rules and the odds, and screw up the etiquette. I know enough to know that the house has a significant edge in almost any game you play against them. Even on the “best” odds games.

    One of the guys that I went with made a decent chunk of money at Texas Hold’em. He said he really wasn’t that great at it, he just got lucky and found a table full of drunk tourists who couldn’t play for shit, and yet they would try to chase after it.

    The casinos that have popped up in my home town all look dreadfully depressing.

    It’s sad how normalized gambling addiction has become.

    Here’s how I frame it to myself: that person is basically screaming into the void after I block them. Sure, other people on here can see what they wrote, but 99.9% of them won’t care or remember. I was their “intended target” and I’ll never see their stupid comment. If it makes you feel any better, I’ve noticed a lot of troll types really hate being blocked and complain about it fairly regularly. You blocked them, you won the peace of them no longer existing for you.

    Also, if you’ve blocked them for being obnoxious, others probably have, too.
