Yeah seriously that article paints a really dark picture

alright did i fall for a prank here or something

This is true. Ontario made online sports gambling legal and now the rest of Canada is inundated with online gambling ads whenever there’s a hockey game, and it’s causing an in increase in the number of people who say they have a gambling problem.

Whats a bbs?

Do you mean through radio waves like APRS, 10m BBS, or HAMNET? Interent though peer to peer like Freenet (Hyphanet)? Or solely through Mesh like MeshBBS?

Well, I don’t know what the details would look like. I was hoping the good people of lemmy could help me out with that

Just because some things are ambiguous doesn’t mean all things are ambiguous

They also provide a protective layer that helps prevent the cereal from getting crushed. Potato chips do the same thing by adding a lot of air to the bag
