While technically true, I think poker actually is one of those games in which the stakes (providing a tangible fear of loss) are a valuable element to the game. Tournament style poker would essentially accomplish this, but it’s not always easy to round up enough friends to make it enjoyable. And even then, the people who drop out early on have to either watch or find something else to do.

If Dems Retake Congress, Platner Says 'Compelling Case' Exists for Impeaching 'At Least Two' Supreme Court Justices

Even though Dems wouldn’t have anywhere close to 60 Senators, a massive bloodbath during these 2026 Midterms may convince at least a few republican senators that their political careers would be over by remaining tied to the Trumpstein crooks. Of course, let’s first win these Midterms, and then see about effecting real change to save this Democracy.

Recently within the past few months, I remember seeing a viral clip of one of the human stick-figure type robots in a demonstration at some kind of mall (probably in China but I can’t recall). The robot started malfunctioning, and the handlers had to physically restrain the robot so that it wouldn’t malfunction erratically around the audience or people simply walking by.

Most of the comments about the video were laughing at how silly and stupid the robot was behaving, but all I could think was: If that thing was just a little bit stronger, the human handler wouldn’t have been able to physically restrain it. That robot would immediately become a real physical danger to literally everyone in the vicinity.
