Searise

In a thousand years

the seas have risen

six to eight inches.

In this century’s hundred,

they’ll rise at least three feet.

They’ll swallow thousands of square miles

of earth,

displace millions of our species,

uproot countless others—or worse.

Human ingenuity and invention,

in the greedy grip of capital,

warps and devours life and nature.

To save nature,

end unnatural capitalism.

 

-Felix Cortes

  1. Basic strategy’s all about minimizing the house edge, right? Seeing platforms like nustar ph game focusing on secure accounts & smooth funding is a good sign – builds trust at the table. Solid foundation for any player!

  2. Yo, heard from a buddy about yaywingame. He says they’ve got some sweet deals on mobile games. Gonna give it a looksee tonight. Anyone else tried it out? Let me know what’s good! Hit up yaywingame for yourself!
