I personally am not going to allow a lot of the horrible posting that went on in the original thread to take place and I will be very generous with post deletions and bans if needed.

If any accounts persistently do this they will be banned or exiled from posting in this thread. In these cases we may issue a warning first.
Accounts that are used only to or substantially to troll post in this thread will be banned.

Update April 2018
********************
OK Vlogger Thread, we are going with some new parameters to try to make this the POSITIVE vlogger thread that it is supposed to be, not the AIDS vlogger thread where a few loonies ruin it for the rest. Note that 'positive' does not equal 'only positive', it means anything negative being said CAN'T be namecalling or wild, unsubstantiated speculation regarding any and all vloggers. Personal lives and anything aside from poker is OFF THE TABLE.

A new update March 2019:
NO ****ING POLITICS!
I disagree, I bet if we polled 100 people a majority would agree that they would not want their life's savings that they hoped to leave behind for their kids be lost paying for their late stage dementia when they didnt even know their own name much less if they even had kids.
I know I'd be pissed if all my money that I wanted to pass on to my kids was wasted like that.
I think it's highly presumptuous to assume what someone would want to spend their own money on especially when there is a clear conflict of interest. Also it can be very subjective where the point is to draw the line on when it becomes no longer worthwhile spending on preserving someone's life or even keeping them comfortable.
I know it might seem like a convenient solution for you if the sick/aging person just died immediately with a minimun of hassle or cost to the estate that you may have already allocated to yourself in your mind.

Isn't this why we have living wills?

You make a good point, about the subjectiveness of "the line" however, at some point, it does become clear. If you dont know your own name or if you even have kids, I feel like we have crossed "the line." If cancer has spread to multiple organs . . . similar.
Once again, I didnt say any of this was all that easy, just that if you're serious about solving the health care crisis, this is the "arena" where 25% of the money is spent for literally no return on investment. "We got $100million to spend, we're gonna spend $25 million on that to keep people alive less than 12 months who are already really really old"
I guarantee you, I'll have a living will and it will state many things, but one will be "if I cant tell you my own name and those of my kids, not another dime is to be spent on my care, I've already died in the way that matters most, dont keep me alive like I'm some sort of science experiment to see how long machines and meds can keep my body alive"

oh boy, good thing you don't already have one or the plug would have been pulled a long time ago for you
I think over the history of his channel he's explained to his viewers at least 4 or 5 times now how they can walk across from Harrah's to Borgata. It could literally be his favourite subject to talk about, or else he just thinks it's something that his viewers need constant reminding of.

Rice thinks he's beating the system by not paying for the Jitney like all the dumb tourist do.
He bet the river trying to somehow rep a 9 for a straight (never has that), AK for the nut straight (never has that, he checked the turn when it got there) or running spades (almost never has that). He thought his opponent was so weak/passive that he wouldn’t call a river bet more than $80 without “a Royal Flush or better”. Because in Rice’s mind, a river bet that size might as well have been “the GDP of Italy”. I guess the dumb exaggerations were Rice’s way of justifying his failed river blu
This made me google the actual GDP of Italy.
2.255 Trillion.
Just a hair higher than Canada. (2.214 Trillion)

The Bodies Exhibit at Ballys Some Call It Horseshoe should offer a Tier upgrade to lifetime Diamond tier if a player agrees to donate his body to the exhibit. Also after dead it should allow permanent parking in the Ballys-Paris garage until a descendant comes to claim the vehicle.

He is just demonstrating his intellectual prowess, being the only person smart enough to figure out all by themselves, that the way to get between two buildings separated by a field is to walk across. I'm sure his viewers appreciate the awesome display of problem solving.

the best part is he doesn't take the safest way (especially at night) or the cleanest as that field b/w borgata and harrah's can get super muddy.

again, i'm not gonna answer in a way others do (although i understand it, this is a highly emotional topic), but let me give you an example and some stuff to think about (something i learned in a seminar a long time ago):
there's situations where you can't predict how you would act or react unless the situation is actually there. example:
1) i'll pay you 10K for your arm (surgically removed, no pain, just the arm gone).
of course (i assume) you say no.
what about 100K for a hand? prob still no
1mill for a finger? some people will start thinking
100 million for a small finger? i bet any amount a lot of people will say yes .
but: they might still say no, bc it's "theoretical" ... in the moment someone walks into the room with suitcases full of cash, this answer will be different, guaranteed.
2) other example (i'll get to my point, patience):
you have 2 kids, 5 year old boy, 6 year old girl. you are on a railway, a train is coming, for some reason they are chained to the track. you know you only have time to save one of them ... which one will you choose?
now, to finally make my point: you might say today that you chose not to live any longer, if your medical condition is like that, and i believe you, but i'm also certain that this attitude might (not must, but might) change, when you get older, get closer to that point, but are not there yet. its one of those situations where you don't know how you would react, unless it's actually there, and then you are prob not able to make a rational decision anymore.
i guess what i'm trying to say is: i don't think you mean all this in a bad way, but you look at a (for a lot of people) highly emotional situation from a very non-emotional point of view, and also with a "i know it all"-attitude, that will get you exactly the answers (and prob worse) that you are getting. a little more humility and understanding of the other side would prob help.
peace
This made me google the actual GDP of Italy.
2.255 Trillion.
Just a hair higher than Canada. (2.214 Trillion)
Italy GDP seems to be doing pretty well if it beat Canada and Canada has way more natural resources and oil.
If Texas were a country, it would be the eighth-largest economy in the world,
ahead of Canada and even Russia. In 2022, Texas’ gross domestic product (GDP) — the total market value of all finished goods and services — totaled $2.4 trillion. Texas keeps climbing the world economic ranks; only a decade ago, it was the 12th-largest economy.
In 2024 Texas GDP was 2.6 Trillion.
these are only the official numbers (for Italy), if you add Mafia it'll be more like 10 trillion
In today's video, ELD reports he received a text from Herbs and Rye telling him he could drive without a drivers license and just give his name and birthdate if stopped.
ELD states he has been Diamond tier since 2016. ELD states he is earning tier credits today and gets a $1-$3 seat and then moves to a $1-$2 seat.
Then ELD lists 500 NBA players.

I thought that last part was your signature or whatever so didnt read it, then it was the last post so i glanced again and saw it said he listed 500 nba players and laughed out loud. What a weirdo el diesel is.
If Rice is giving us nuggets about Slavko Vranes in his videos, what type of info is left for his patreon page? He needs to be a little more judicious with his free tidbits
Next week he'll name all of their kids...
So El Diesel/Rice played maybe 4 hours of poker over the course of 3 days in Atlantic City.
That ain't gonna get him Caesars Diamond status for 2026.
so he seriously went to AC in the dead of winter where the only thing to do is gamble to only play 4 hours of poker and go to fancy restaurant Wawa? Makes sense.
