i am not looking forward to the polymarket stats being on the scoreboard at this year's mariners' games

i mean, i don't know that it is going to happen, but it seems like the sort of thing that is likely to happen

fuck betting in general tbh

@ryan @ariadne to be more precise their claim is that it's a derrivatives market, just instead of having derrivativss on stocks or oil or sth. it's on what's happening in the world. Whether this makes sense is a different question.
