And you’re sitting here shilling it telling people it’s fine and trying to discredit others’ personal experiences. Paid much?

And you’re basing the world ln your own limited information microcosm biases.

“Relatively uncommon” is your uncorroborated bullshit in case you didn’t realize it.

So you’re saying it’s not bullshit… just not your take. I assure you, there are many I know personally who have been trying to quit for decades on and off with little success. This is not a normal craving like cake. For such an expensive addiction, it’s borderline theft. Some dumb 13yr old gets tricked into trying one and over the course of the next 20yrs spends more money on cigarettes than anything else in their life…. Gtfo if you think that’s normal.

Meanwhile one of my friend smokes and never gets hit with craving. It’s case by case.

My right to swing my bat ends at your face. There is an interface where personal freedoms need to be restricted unless you don’t mind living in fear 24/7.

Your take is very absolutist. If you’ve never smoked a cigarette, you might not realize how powerful the pull is. It’s not a normal craving. It takes over every free thought when it hits. It changes your brain in specific areas identifiable on brain scans. This shit is sugar coated poison.

Do you drive the speed limit? It protects others and future generations. Life would have been a lot healthier if someone hadn’t introduced that first cigarette to you 20yrs ago, and you would never have felt the loss.

We care about people, even if they hurt themselves (and tax dollars in future healthcare). Most people are better off never starting. It’s like trying to stop someone from hang gliding into a volcano. Sure it’s fun… but most people shouldn’t do it.

I would rest easier knowing there is less of it around for kids to get peer pressured into locking themselves to it.

Put the heroin back on the convenience shelf while you’re at it. Tricked into trying it? Too bad… you’re a grown adult and now your life is fucked.

Not as extreme, but some substances need more thought before unleashing them onto the pubic, if ever.

If you press Alt-F4 it lets you see account emails.

The censorship isn’t instantaneous.

So we can ensure the algorithm never shows it to anyone. Those platforms are censored black.

Yes. So the police can begin brutalizing Palestine supporters more fearlessly.

I used to be for gun control. With where the world is going, we all need bazookas soon.

Get yourself the cheapest n150 box you can, the 4 port versions are good im case you decise to upgade and convert it to a fw later. Get a 4tb 2.5 ssd if you afford it and a chewp dual or more jbod external for safe backups.

Every year upgrade and stick to proxmox and opnsnese untill/unless you have reason otherwise.

That we don’t afford consumers luxuries to lure them in, they need to fill their own neighborhoods. If no one wsnts to work there, maybe they need more lucrative and exciting work.

I just hate how he promotes “affordable” housing and does nothing to advocate work from home. Every affordable unit is booked 10yrs in advance while developers build 150 condos and have 10 affordable. Literally tricky dickle down economics.

Let’s use a school bully allegory to see how bad it is.

Big Bully has been stealing lunches and sitting on Little Billy since Big Bully moved into town. Little Billy kicks his shin and steals a nickel and hides it. Big Bully retaliates by pulling off Little Billy’s fingernail and promises to stop if he gets his nickel back. Little Billy complies; Big Bully continues pulling the next fingernail.

All of the teachers are watching horrified, but the superintended is Big Bully’s parent.

You can already see the hallmark signs of a state funded media campaign to undermine any and all claims that the ceasefire has been broken and continues to be so.

They’re using the fact that people are tired of seeing and reading about horrible things knowing they have no control over it. As a result, the public are now personally invested (mental wellbeing) into the ceasefire being real. Even if the bombing campaign and conditions are nearly identical to pre-“ceasefire” levels, the general public is exhausted and takes the (still propagandized) media’s coverage as truth.

“Gen Z” didn’t topple anything. This is coordinated by big money.
