I still read it as Magic The Gathering every single time

It's like "I have a windows computer, I install software on it and use the software. Why would I need more than 1?" Turns into "ooohhh, computers are great. All the things I can run and host. Software isn't just a gui".

It's like learning to love computers again

Huh, interesting.
I imagine the "don't have to stop gambling to take care of another addiction" is more important than perfect scents.

I'm actually taken aback that smoking in indoor public places is still legal.
I imagine if the demographic swings away from being predominantly smoking gamblers then casinos will react quickly to have isolated smoking rooms/areas

Yeh it is.
Proving that a scientific theory is wrong means we don't understand enough about the thing. And we know we need to look at other theories about the thing.
Proving things wrong as well as failed hypothesis is as important (even if it is disappointing) as proving things correct and successful hypothesis. It rules the theory out, and guides further scientific study.
With published papers, other scientists can hopefully see what the publishing scientists missed.
Scientists can also repeat experiments of successful papers to confirm the papers conclusion, and perhaps even make further observations that can support further studies.

Oh, they do have psychological manipulation in mind.
There are 2 leading design types:
No clocks anywhere, designed to be difficult to navigate out of, designed to make the passage of time difficult to tell.
And open and bright with easy lines of sight, designed to allow gamblers to relax without leaving.

The former was developed by an ex-gambler that "turned their life around" into an architect that manipulates gamblers to gamble more. He studied the successful casinos, and gathered up all the techniques that makes gamblers gamble more.
The open layout was developed in response to this, and solely concentrates on making gamblers feel relaxed (or able to relax).

But lighting, layout, smells, sounds... Everything is accounted for.
Casino owners know the design of their casino is what makes gamblers gamble more

yeh, I need 50,000 shell companies to manage social media, online media, traditional media, us law, print media, branding, exhibitions, TV media, streaming media, free streaming media, physical media and ad campaigns.

Any anti-human when a "$10 limit for judge is sponsored by" law comes into effect.

Seriously, these judges are being bought for 500k per year. I have no sources on this. I have read news reports of politicians being bought for 10k to 100k. And, for me, 500k would massively change my life.
So 500k to lean to one side, 2 cases per year: I would be set.
The fact that these judgements affect 10k, 100k, 1m people? I would have issue with that, but if it was boiling a frog of minor judgements that don't affect anyone but slowly increased impact and payout... I might not notice.
Especially if they slipped in a few no-impact rulings with extremely high payout (this is the "jackpot" method for training dogs, name coined from - I presume - casinos and gambling).
And by the time I've realised I've been bought out by the bad guys: I would be planning for my exit, the aftermath and my family. I'd be demanding more, selling everything out, and making sure the laws I effect benefit my exit.

It's bought & sold. It's disgusting.
They should be held to higher standards and procedures, with ACTUAL consequences.
I hope - at one point - they were human, and cared, and that's why they were selected.
If they were in-human before they were selected, then the system is broken.
Considering they have the power to reverse or approve government decisions, seems like THEY are the ones people should be voting for and that the president is more of a guiding figure

You wouldn't believe it!

He is. But the people around him and controlling/handling him aren't idiots.
It's either in project 2025, or some other republican playbook. Scattershot out a bunch of crazy news to swamp the news cycle and overwhelm everyone, then get to work doing the dirty stuff

It's part of the strategy.
Overwhelm the news cycle, see what the news picks up and push that more, let the actual bad stuff go under-reported.
