90'larda doğanlar olarak hiçbirimiz yaşımızı göstermiyoruz. Bizden önceki nesil bu yaşlardayken gayet olgun duruyordu ama biz hala 20 lerin başında gibi duruyoruz. Bizden sonraki nesil de büyük duruyor ama biz nedense küçük duruyoruz. Anlam veremiyorum buna. Ne ara 30 olduk sahi?

Now seems like a good time to remind people that a bit over ten years ago, China compromised a network of CIA sources, hunted them down, and executed them.

Tomorrow becomes today and I couldn’t care less about a sandwich. The moral of the story is to act purely on impulse because the future is not real.

I still remember my boy hanging out on Crenshaw one night, and he got caught in the crossfire of a shooting without realizing it was about to go down. Before the first dude started shooting, he said “ayyyy my n’gga, DUCK!! I’m tryna get the n’ggas behind you!!!”
White girl on Tik Tok said she was outside in Oakland once when someone started shooting, so they ran into this tiny lil store. She suggested they get out of there bc they were sitting ducks if the shooter found them & all the Black ppl looked at her crazy like.. girl the shooter’s not gonna come in the store, looking for random ppl to kill.. that’s not really what Black folks do LOL

This zoomer pulled himself by his bootstraps and now the boomer casinos won’t pay him the money he’s owed
This 24 year old guy figured out how to beat a casino and won $800,000
The casino refused to pay him and gave him back just $50,000 and when he complained to gambling regulators, they sided with the casino.
His name is Thomas McPeek, he’s from Chicago who still lives with his parents.
Early 2024
- spends months reading sports betting books
- studies football parlays
- discovers Caesars is offering odds he believes are mathematically mispriced
He realizes he might have found a way to beat the house.
August 2024
McPeek walks into Horseshoe Casino in Indiana with around $30,000.
Instead of placing a few enormous bets, he spends an entire week making hundreds of small wagers through self-service kiosks.
(He doesn’t want the casino noticing his strategy)
By the end of the week, he’s won $350,000.
September 2024
He travels to another Caesars casino in Iowa.
Same strategy.
Another $450,000.
October 2024
McPeek returns to Horseshoe to collect his money.
But Caesars has other plans.
The casino voids his winning tickets, accusing him of coordinating bets across state lines and splitting his wagers into smaller amounts to circumvent its rules.
Instead of paying his winnings, Caesars returns his original $50,000.
And that’s it.
Another casino, Blue Chip, had already paid him $127,000 using his betting strategy.
They simply banned him from coming back.
McPeek complains to gambling regulators in Indiana and Iowa.
Both side with Caesars.
2025
McPeek takes Caesars to federal court, demanding the winnings he believes he’s owed.
Caesars argues that he violated the rules he agreed to when placing the bets and asks the court to dismiss his lawsuit.
McPeek responds:
“It’s not like I can snap my fingers and make the bets win. They still have to win.”
And he’s still fighting for his money.
Imagine spending months learning how to beat the house, actually beating it, and then being told your winning tickets don’t count.
But if those same bets had lost, would the casino have returned his $50,000?
Tbh I don’t think so.
