If you are interested in our project or have questions about decolonial Marxism we would love to welcome you.
The exact date is not yet concrete, so if you want to post any questions here in advance, this post will be linked to once an exact date is announced (this should be within the next day).
I'm not different people. Much like James Bond, I am in fact just the same person every time. And I'm the Princess lady not the green clothes guy, I know the title is confusing. It was part of my contract.
JT will be answering questions below. There are no strict time limits set for this so JT will come and go as and when his time allows, if he doesn't get to your questions be patient! This post will be edited when things end here.See bottom of post
That's right, JT will join us for an AMA this Sunday December 18th @ 10am Central Time (4pm UTC)
Well known by many on Hexbear, JT's work includes Second Thought on youtube and The Deprogram podcast which they share with co-hosts Hakim and Yugopnik.
So come by Sunday and he'll be answering questions about anything you throw at him. (site rules apply) :volcel-judge:
Hey folks, I figured I'd offer an ama for people unfamiliar with how casinos work in California.
I'd planned on making this account sooner (and planned for the name to be 'Different_Kind_of_Banker, but here we are) but better late than never right?
Here are some bits of info that may help get the ball rolling on questions
California has specific laws against Nevada style gambling (Where the house keeps the money if you lose)
Tribal land is exempt from those laws due to a court case over bingo halls on reservations in the 1980s (yes people were that aggressive about the small bits of money people got)
Casinos in California and not tribal lands are technically called card rooms. No slot machines are allowed and instead of getting the money from losses, it goes to a third party person called a banker. These third parties came up to circumvent the laws against Nevada gambling. So in the eyes of the law, card rooms aren't taking people's money. They are just hosting a place where they can gamble with each other's money and they have to pay for the space to use.
This workaround uses third party workers called bankers who offer up the money of the corporation to allow for gambling to take place. Players can play without a banker, but they have to use their own money.
I am a banker and I hate everything about the environment and feel like a gross person every time I come into work.
The customers are usually small business owners who want a chance to complain about losing.
With all that info, I welcome any sorts of questions you might have and hope you have a beautiful rest of your day.
Edit: Closing the AMA since I am pretty close to concluding my trip and therefore will be posting pictures/reflections which will give more opportunity to ask more questions!
You probably remembered my post earlier asking about places that I need to visit while in Cuba and as I am close to concluding my trip and a few days away to fly back home, I’d like to give everyone an opportunity to ask any questions that they might have about Cuba. I’ll post photos as well as my own thoughts/reflections when I’m back home so until then feel free to ask any questions. As for proof (if it’s needed), Mods could check the IP I’m posting from as I’m currently on Cubacel. I wish I could post a photo as proof but the internet infrastructure here is 3G and therefore would consume a lot of data just from me posting a picture.
