Snack machines also have something of a Slot machine, only the RTP is better and fortunately there are very few dead spins.

You're all from another world... I live in a village and only eat healthy things. And I already know how I would invest the money. Let's say in my business, which would ultimately benefit people....

Yes, and if there are, then beating the machine helps in many cases, unlike slot machines.

People make it very easy for themselves these days by immediately turning every loss of behavior into an addiction and disease. For me, a disease is e.g. cancer and not alcoholism or gambling addiction.

I recommend watching Southpark, the episode where Randy imagines he's an alcoholic. There's a lot of truth in it and, as so often, it shows how stupid our society has become.


Wow, I've rarely read anything so strange when it's meant seriously. You put forward theses and then argue with South Park? 😄

I wonder if he's ever met a gambling addict or alcoholic. I have my strong doubts about that.

I've met people with an alcohol problem. Alcoholism is a disease. Just like gambling addiction.

I am mentally strong and can control my addictions. Binge drinking? Never had one. I'm certainly not particularly addicted to gambling, but even I sometimes realize how much mental strength it takes to stay "dry". There are evenings when my fingers itch. Whether online or offline (arcade) doesn't matter. Recently, I've really been wanting to go to a casino again. So far (2 months now) I've been able to resist the temptation. That's why I still consider myself to be addicted to gambling - but I'm not at high risk. This is solely due to my psyche. People who are less mentally stable are certainly more susceptible to excesses.

Sounds strange at first, but even Spongebob has episodes like this where there is a lot of truth behind it, or even the simpsons. Nevertheless, I don't share the opinion that Gambling addiction is a disease for me, just like drug addiction

There was an old south park episode where wallmart rules the world and delivers everything with drones, now wallmart does exactly that.
It's really funny, the writers are really good at that.

But the Simpsons are the real world champions when it comes to "predicting the future". I find it really creepy that they had Trump as president in an episode 10 years before or so. Sometimes you think that reality is only created by the Simpsons makers.

And because someone is less mentally stable, they are ill? For me, they are simply weak and will act out their cravings all the more with the justification that they are ill.


I'm addicted to gambling myself, but I'm grateful that I'm healthy.

The creators of the old Southpark episodes were geniuses.

What now? Are you addicted or just weak?

I am an addict, but I control myself and pay all my obligations, only play with money I can afford to lose.
If an addict can't buy anything for his children because he has gambled away the last of his children's money, then he is weak in my book.

You are simply contradicting yourself completely.


Either you're just too weak and there's no addiction, so to speak, or you're an addict and then it's in the nature of things that you can't control yourself.

What you write just doesn't fit together. You're jumping back and forth between two contradictory things.

Why does an addiction automatically mean you are no longer in control?

Some people, for example, drink alcohol regularly every weekend but nothing during the week, which can be described as an addiction.
Are these people now ill and no longer allowed to control themselves because they are addicted?

If you are constantly told that you are ill, it is of course easier to give up self-discipline.

I think you just don't understand addiction. It's clear that it affects everyone differently and with varying intensity.


Here from the internet: "Addiction is the uncontrollable craving for a certain state of feeling, experience and consciousness" - this is the official definition of the World Health Organization (WHO)"

I'll emphasize it again for you: uncontrollable.

It's a good thing that the creators of Southpark also studied medicine and are world-renowned physicians. Before you write garbage here and try to talk down serious problems, I would recommend that you inform yourself beforehand and think about it.

Medicine officially recognizes addiction as a disease (and it has taken too long).

Alcoholism is indeed a disease. Okay, let me give you an example. When a person smokes, they inhale toxic substances. This person could get cancer as a result. That is a disease. Now imagine a person who drinks. He doesn't get a tumor, but his liver values deteriorate due to alcohol consumption. Is that not a disease in your eyes?

Gambling addiction doesn't directly cause illness, but it destroys people internally. Yes, mental health is also important and if you don't have it, you are also ill. According to your logic, depression is not an illness either. Good thing you're not a doctor. Watch your Southpark episodes instead of writing some snot here.
