    I’m not going to lie, I’ve been very anti treatbrain rhetoric in the past but I think this thread has broken me of that. I’m genuinely unsure how we got to this point, never expected so many Hexbear to defend DraftKings like this

      It’s a simple but powerful motivational force: they got theirs. That’s all there is to it. The sports betting app went beepbeep, pleasure centers of the brain activated, defensive tendencies engaged if the source of pleasure is criticized.

      Many such cases. rust-darkness
