I keep thinking I'm okay, that I've dealt with the feelings about it all, and then I'm crying again. (It also sucks that I have to show up at this stupid place until I either find another job or June 30.)

I see discourse everyday on the addictive nature of gambling apps and how destructive they are but my entire YouTube ads algorithm is nothing but people opening packs of Pokémon cards hoping to hit big then resell on auction sites and we’re not taking it seriously as the gambling epidemic it is.

There is an endless cycle in Western society where we don't understand the mechanism for a disease, so we blame it on personal choice or "bad thoughts" or poor parenting or lack of willpower or whatever. Diabetes, cancer, depression, anxiety, ME/CFS, etc.
