🚨 FLASHBACK: I called it. Bally's River North would fail. Lightfoot called me "full of crap." I stood up and asked her the question Chicago deserved answered. Why ram through a casino most of the neighborhood didn't even want? Why promise it would revive tourism and conventions when violent...

An Oregon woman put $100 into a slot machine at a Washington casino and watched it flash an $8 MILLION win. The casino unplugged the machine, called it broken, and handed her $80. – Veronica Castillo, a mortgage loan officer from Beaverton, Oregon, took her mother to the Lucky Eagle Casino in Rochester, Washington, in early November 2015. – She fed $100 into a slot machine called Jurassic Riches. The screen lit up showing a jackpot in the millions. – "I was very excited, happy," she told local news. "Then I couldn't believe it." – Casino staff came over almost immediately, shut the machine down, and wheeled it off the floor. – They printed her a ticket for $80, the actual amount the casino said she'd legitimately won based on the machine's true rules and that was it. – A casino spokesperson said the machine's real maximum payout was nowhere close to $8 million (reports on the exact cap vary between about $6,000 and $20,000, but every account agrees it was a tiny fraction of what the screen showed). – Every machine on the floor carried the same standard disclaimer: a malfunction voids all pays and plays. – Castillo called it cheating, possibly fraud, and said her first thought was wondering how many other people this had happened to and just walked away not knowing. – She hired a lawyer and pursued the casino for the full $8 million. – Like the Iowa and Bookman cases, the legal argument for the player never succeeded – Casinos have consistently won these disputes by pointing to the malfunction clause and the machine's programmed payout limits. She was a millionaire for about as long as it took security to reach the machine. Then it became an $80 ticket and a lawsuit that went nowhere.

Here is the actual GOP candidate for President of the United States attempting to say something about Mark Zuckerberg which is literally all I can figure out from this 90-SECOND LONG SENTENCE. 😵‍💫 “So Mark Zuckerberg called me first of all he called me a few times she called me after the event that he said that was really amazing it was very brave and you know and he actually announced he's not going to support a Democrat because he can't because he respected me for what I did that day I think what I did maybe was a norm to me it was a normal response but I was called by Mark Zuckerberg yesterday the day before on this same subject and he actually apologized he said they made a mistake etc etc in the correcting mistake a Google nobody called from Google one of the things I do in a show like yours you you show you know you see them Fox but what you really see it is all over the place they take clips of your show that you're doing right now with me and if I do a good job they're going to vote for me they're going to vote for me because it's not just on Fox it's on Fox is a smaller part of it you're on all over this those little beautiful cell phones you're on you're all over the place you have a product you have a great product you have a great brand so you have to get out you have to get out you have to do things like your show and other shows and Google has been very bad they've been very irresponsible and I have a feeling that Google isn't going to be close to shut down because I don't think Congress is going to take it I really don't think so Google has to be careful now I will say this I believe Mark Zuckerberg he called me so he called me a lot they are working and I think they fixed it but what can he's not doing what he did four years ago with the five hundred million dollars I don't believe.”

This lady plays music with colorful language every morning since her neighbor called the cops on her wrongfully. She makes it a point just to wake up early so she won’t miss her neighbor’s walk, she turned it into her own walk of shame so that everyone knows and she won’t let it down. In college there used to be a know it all in class with us, he would always answer first and most of the time he was right. So of course that gave him an ego that he felt like he was smarter than all of us. We were discussing psychology theories and the student professor asked about a specific theory, he of course raised his hand and gave his answer looking all smug like he was so proud of himself until the student professor told him he wasn’t right. He then spent the next few moments debating her only to irritate the class and I raised my hand and gave the correct answer. I was actually surprised I was right. It turns out I was paying attention that day. His demeanor towards me changed. He wasn’t no longer arrogant towards me, it shifted into back handed compliments and a rivalry I never wanted. It culminated when we were given an hour to do a test, it consisted of one question and we were to explain a principle in a theory that was given to us on the paper by the professor. Everyone had a different question, and we knew that. During the test he said what are you doing?! He made sure it was loud enough to catch people’s attention. He claimed I was looking on his paper as to copy his answer and the professor said even if I did it didn’t matter, we didn’t have the same test anyways and that’s why she did it that way. But to wrongfully accuse me of cheating could have gotten me kicked out of class or school. What irritated me the most was that nothing happened to him. I was expecting he would at least get into trouble for it but nope. Why don’t people who do this ever actually get punished? We see this all the time. Anybody who wrongfully accuses anybody of anything should receive the punishment that that carries in my opinion.

This woman is being accused of being rude by the worker, to me I think the worker was rude. She’s trying to return something without the packaging and was denied without it. So she went and bought another one and used that packaging to return the old one. She always had the receipt she just didn’t have the package. Either way she’s left with another item she didn’t need or return. I recall when I was at the pizza shop and a customer gave us the wrong address by mistake. She was babysitting and wanted pizza delivered to the customers house instead. I get a call from our driver saying he couldn’t find it, so I call her back and said that the driver couldn’t find the address, it didn’t even exist on gps. She argues with me how the home has been there for over 80 years and that my driver was too stupid to find it. I couldn’t find it on my Apple Maps either and asked her to double check the address. She told us the house number was 869 and it was actually 896. So after that I call my driver and he delivers it. Not even 5 minutes later she calls back complaining her food was cold. I told her it’s cold likely because the driver took a long time trying to find an address that didn’t exist. So once again she gets all belligerent. I refused to remake it or refund it based on her mistake and she claims I just lost a life long customer. Was I wrong for that, would you have remade it? Maybe I would have as a courtesy if she was cool about it but she wasn’t especially since it was her mistake. I usually don’t do anything unless we messed up.

I dated a girl once and she was extremely beautiful. She worked for DNA models. She ate a terrible diet that horrified me. She thought she had to. By far the strangest thing about her was that she would listen to the same song for over 4 hours in a row, every day She'd come home exhausted, climb into bed and put on her huge expensive headphones and start playing her song. It was this song. It was no secret, I could always hear it through the headphones. In her music app she only had this song and she put it on a permanent loop. Some days she'd listen to it for 4 hours. Other days for more. Occasionally at the weekends if she really needed to recover in bed, she'd listen for 8 hours or more When I was around her, I'd listen too. Not because I wanted to, but you could always hear it a little from her headphones, in the background. At a certain point, it started to feel normal. At the start, I asked her why she did it and she said "I just love this song, why would I listen to anything else". I really liked her answer. So I didn't challenge it. She said she'd been doing it for years Sometimes I'd pick her up from shoots in the city and the moment she met me she'd ask if she could please put her headphones on and listen to music. Then she'd start. She wouldn't do it in public without me there, because she wanted to stay aware of her surroundings. But if I was there, she could put her headphones on straight away and just trust she was safe. She'd listen to her song and rest on my shoulder and close her eyes as we rode the subway home Throughout our relationship we didn't talk much, really. It was more of a physical thing. Not in a superficial way. Not just lust. I mean that we were both completely satisfied just resting on each other, without speaking. We liked physical contact, or a sense of shared physical beingness. But neither of us needed to talk like most people do and we really savored that about each other I actually really loved it when she put her headphones on and entered her cosy,safe space. It was like she was entering into a little coccoon. With time, I realized it was a kind of recovery protocol and a meditative trance. It anchored a state of rest for her that she desperately needed. She didn't have OCD or any other compulsions. It was just this one thing. This one particular song. It was like a little cave she entered to heal from the stress of the day and burdens of existence. I dated her for 2 years and she did it every single day, up until the end. When I kissed her goodbye on the final day, she had her big headphones hanging around her neck and the song was playing through them. It was the last thing I heard, on the last day I looked into her eyes
