Capitalism has run out of things to sell us and is now just stealing from the vulnerable

throwing a wad of busted betting slips for Best Podcast into the garbage, they all say ‘Chapo Trap House’

Even South Park warned us about this in the "Conflict of Interest" episode last year

this is true which is impressive given the sheer amount of shit from 2025

Number go up (hopefully, otherwise I lose my house)

I would say AI --- unless you argue that it was the worst development of the world in 2024.

I absolutely hated it on the Golden Globes broadcast!

This is really dangerous, and it needs to be outlawed

Literally turned it off when this bullshit started

Running man?

Late stage capitalism for ya

Country you mean

i listened to like 1100 hours of podcasts last year and i have never heard of this mel robbins or his or her or their podcast

jesus christ

Dear God, was this on the broadcast....

True - nothing else as bad or worse started in 2025.

Especially when Donald Trump Jr. is an investor in one of the biggest poly market firms.

And then Kalshi too. It's like South Park knows what's up.

"Polymarket" what a corpo speak for straight up gambling. Fuck these clowns.

Not even top 10 worst things tbh :P

this last year has made me firmly of the opinion that it should be illegal to gamble without having to go somewhere and interact directly with another human being to do it.

I'm the same. And I don't think there's anything I have done a complete about face on in my life as much as I have done with legalized gambling

this + online sportsbooks need to be banned imo

Then the press secretary cuts it short and buys a new boat a week later.

welcome to america. there are three jobs left: ice guy, burrito taxi driver, and professional gambler

Explaining gambling to an American: imagine mcdonalds

Someone’s out there trying to score a 12 leg parlay on the Golden Globes and losing their house

I’ve been negatively polarized into being a former sports gambler bc of how much they’ve shoved it into every aspect of our lives

Idiocracy.

Onion person 100% correct here!

It's the nemesis dream made real.

No the worst development is the rise of mask-on and -off secret police in the U.S. The gambling is the future addiction that will keep the proles in check if we don't stop Trump now.

I hate this bet on anything and everything world.

I turned this on when I got home from work and turned it off 5 minutes later, because it was boring and because of this.

All the way down to the ”pull down to refresh” on social media feeds, which was engineered to resemble pulling the lever on a slot machine.

Welcome to Cyberpunk.

everything is permitted, the only crime is getting caught

Very good question given the suspicion that Leavitt specifically shortened a briefing in the nick of time to make a Kalshi bet

no

Any country with sane leadership would ban this immediately and yet here we are

i had no idea the golden globes were tonight, not even really sure what they are, also haven't even heard of anything they're nominating

I couldn’t believe this shit

I have never heard the term "polymarket" and was wondering what looking for a new Polycule after a break up had to do with anything

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

The degree and totality to which it was pushed into every corner of society in such a short time felt almost sinister. Like major, major powers were behind it.

Felt the same way when I saw it. What a bummer

Will Arnet getting owned by Amy again.

This is some biblical end times shit.

Was just saying this to my wife while we’re watching - and that kalshi space alien commercial - seems bad for all of our brains!

Hard agree. My friend and I were talking about how bad sports betting has gotten and I mentioned that new app kalshi or whatever where you can gamble on literally anything, like whether if it’ll rain tomorrow. It’s insane

This also has the added bonus of basically legalizing cheating.

God I hated seeing this

i think this shit might genuinely end society

Sorry, Will. Maybe next year. Loved your Criterion Closet appearance, though. You're really great at flexing.

It's not even legal in the US! You need a VPN to register.

Did ces have tiny June in your ear device this year? I need that.
