Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

This idea that most of the guys betting on sports every weekend are “pretty much breaking even” is wrong. Anyone can get lucky on a long shot, but as soon as you demonstrate the ability to get the real edge -- the one that understands that odds pricing is the only thing that matters, you are kicked out for life.

"The house always wins," is a well-known phrase for a reason. Mathematically, games in casinos are rigged in their favor. Games that are more favored towards the player have lower payouts. Blackjack, for example, is a solved game and therefore doesn't pay out as much as poker, which has no limits and the house takes a cut of the pool one way or another. Slots are another good example of a rigged game. The odds of a jackpot are so horrendously low, casinos can afford to give players free drinks and rooms for playing penny slots.
