Nobody said anything about wealth

Also... uh, yeah. That's the whole argument. Wealth is the reward of the lotto. The whole argument would be about that wealth and what the effects are from it, good or bad. I'm saying that wealthy people already exist and I doubt most of them are unhappy about it.

About the only things you could pull from are some studies that suggest lotto winners are x times more likely to x. I mean they're also x times more likely to x in positive ways too, you would have to guess. People who are rich go bankrupt more often than people who aren't; that's kinda how it works.

I've seen that word used a few times, but I'm still waiting for the study that shows it. I'd be happy to check it out.

Lottery winners aren't the only rich people, you know. It's strange that people point to all these specific cases of unhappiness or ruin, but the ones you can't read about are the ones that didn't end that way because people are only obsessed with strife. For example, that reddit topic does list several horror stories; but in Powerball alone there have been nearly 400 Jackpot winners since it was created. Where are all those other hundreds of stories? Mega Millions according it its website has over 200 jackpot winners. That's 600+ winners but because a dozen or so cases are so sad we just focus in on that for whatever reason, conveniently ignoring the large majority.

Just because you become wealthy doesn't mean you will be unhappy; it's much more likely that won't be the case. If being wealthy also means you are constantly harassed or stalked, then I guess all our favorite celebrities should be giving away their vast millions are all those poor, poor CEOs of companies just can't sleep at night from all the hounding. I suppose the constant woe surrounding the lotto is simply because some people don't want to see low income people essentially waste their money, and yeah gambling can be a huge issue. But that isn't all that common, especially with a game like MM or PB, because of their nature it's a little more difficult to get addicted to playing them and many people only try when the jackpot gets this huge.

People should just let others have their fantasies, without constantly bringing up a dozen or so stories about how bad it would be if they won. Hundreds of other stories ended a lot happier, or at least that can be assumed since no one is reporting on them. No news is good news.

Saw Nope yesterday. I'm glad I saw the second trailer because I'd have probably been disappointed in the film had I not. It's definitely not much like Get Out or Us; honestly, I have a tough time calling it a horror film even. It's much, much more sci-fi leaning and not really in the way Alien is (I consider Alien a horror film over science fiction). I didn't dislike it, it had its moments I think. It's no Get Out unfortunately; I'm not sure if I liked it more than Us. They're just very different films. Overall I think Us has higher highs, but also lower lows. Nope doesn't really have "lows" in that same way; it just is what it is, and I have a hard time viewing it as horror.

I guess I'm a bit behind on seeing horror films this year. I've only really seen the ones dropped in theaters (not gonna count Doctor Strange as horror... though honestly it might be more so than Nope, but I'm going to lump Nope in for now).

1. The Black Phone
2. X
3. Scream
4. Nope
5. The Cursed (technically a 2021 film, but had its release in 2022 in the US)
6. Firestarter
7. Men

Anyone else here play MADiSON? I thought it was a really good horror game! Better than Visage as far as PT likes go imo

Yeah, it's not bad at all. There are things to critique it on (main char's voice actor, some of the story not really connecting together very well). Really great graphics though, somewhat fun mechanics and some good puzzles.
