Even if you're not stupid enough to gamble because you know you have to lose

Obviously unless your a whale like Kerry Packer who is bigger than the casino and knows how to tip - however I digress.

I know there is charitable gaming however I've never understood, beyond organized crime, why all casinos profits aren't regulated into charitable causes and institutions to put people's desire for a non-lethal adrenaline rush to some good use.

Beyond fair use available to all, how?

I can't remember the specific details now, all I recall is seeing the clause (yeah, I actually read the contracts and law, it's quite boring) describing a gov veto power over the brand but 1 in a million that they'd ever use it. I don't even think I bothered asking my lawyer about it and thinking "Of course, gov maintains power, well there's fuck all I can do about it, I may as well just move on"

It's was one of those "Oh, they can do that too can they - typical" moments - I'd never thought about it until I saw this story.

I'd be booking the car in for warranty work to remove it

Ads are designed to capture your attention. To do this to someone when they're driving is surely a safety issue to drivers, other cars, and anyone else.

The car is the ONE place where I can escape ads, unless I listen to a radio, which I rarely do because of the ads. This is so many levels of fucked up.

They don't want you to find the analog AI super computer they built in the 60's that made em write the warning "A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION", in all caps like that.

> It's possible to help create something and yet hate nature the creation.

Sure, but people who hate their creation tends to not claim credit for it.

For that matter, I find that people who can create don't tend to get hung-up on their old creations, be they good or bad - they're just busy creating new things. On the other hand, if someone can't create, and they were lucky to be involved in the creation of something big but lost control - they can spend a lifetime being bitter.
