I like that you guys assume after I wake up as an attack helicopter I'd just go to my regular day job and then get overwhelmed with my new grocery bill.
Oh no, I can't fit through my apartment door and my rotors keep shredding through my jackets.

That's a wild interpretation of my post. Her inability to lose was merely a symptom. A warning sign that indicates missing coping mechanisms. In my opinion ignoring this is a bad idea. I let kids win a lot btw because there's only so much frustration tolerance you can expect from a child but if they have none whatsoever you better try your best to help them build it up.
It's very possible the parents didn't have any chance of guiding her through those early years without those severe mental health issues surfacing later but most therapists will tell you that you have the best chances if you tackle these issues early instead of letting them dig their trenches deeper.

Acquaintance's kid was the worst case of sore loser I've ever seen. Her parents would always let her win. Eventually she refused to play games with anyone but her parents because she was too afraid of losing. I'd visit and she wouldn't even want to play fully random games like uno.
Kid's been in and out of psych wards throughout her teenage years. It's possible that underlying mental health predisposition caused her behavior but I think giving in to it only hardened those pathways in her head over the years. It's vital to learn how to lose and still enjoy yourself.

Basketball: Sex toys thrown on court disrupt two WNBA matches
I saw a clip of this and gotta say they make way too much drama around this. Have security remove it casually like any other item thrown on the court. Throwing a towel over it to hide it and generally turning it into a bigger deal than it is will just motivate people to do it more.
At this point, with all the cameras it's easy to find the thrower and kick them out. The key is to make sure the stunt isn't worth it for them. This is coming from a non-american though so there's less ingrained prudeness I guess. If someone would throw a gun on a European court we'd be similarly shocked.

Gig-economies are always a scam. It's a circumvention of every woker right past generations fought for but it's somehow ok because it's an app.

Always important to keep this in mind. They got OP to engage with it despite not even being the target audience of the sub because engagement bait works.
