Games of chance are absolutely moral and completely fine when played by adults who are not mentally incapacitated.

Why exactly? Why are these games of chance moral only if the government gets a cut?

>The "I'm okay being miserable as long as you're more miserable" crowd has always had a strong showing in this country.

If the choices are "I am miserable whilst my enemies are happy" and "I am miserable whilst my enemies are even more miserable", I know what I would choose.

Kernel-level anti cheats are not perfect, but they decrease the amount of cheaters to the point where they stop being “common” and become “extremely rare”. An imperfect solution is much better than no solution.

This law was supposed to give me control of my data. If I have control of my data, why can't I use it to pay the owner of the website?

I mean, it's entertainment content. It's like saying a movie is fake, they are actors playing roles. Of course. Who cares?

> I guess it depends on what you mean by "materials". It's quite common in US elections for politicians to make claims that are completely contrary to their actual actions. Even for objective facts, like I voted for X bill when they didn't.

So like everywhere else?
