Disposable e-cigarettes were a direct and immediate response to pod based vapes getting banned. Use to be, you would buy a device and just buy juice pods that were disposable. It still wasn’t great for waste, but that policy was a clear step in the wrong direction.

They saved children from using Juuls, just to fill the landfills with lithium batteries.

In this example, when you say “divide it zero times”, what you are really saying is “divide it by 2, zero times”.

When I said the problem with the first two things, I was referring to the concepts laid out by the person you replied to. I wasn’t saying the problem with the first two things you said.

Our revenues are about $20m/mo, we’re not massive but not tiny. I don’t take anyone for granted, not sure where you got that notion.

My point is that while there is a clear problem with both, it doesn’t represent everything. Social media tends to boil things down to oversimplifications and people will charge forward without thinking critically.

The problem with the first two things is the message seems to be that all bosses are bad and all landlords are bad and you should hate them all.

The owner of my company pays more than I’ve ever made in my life (like double), gives us a ton of freedom, has stated that if things are slow he’s fine with people chilling. Half of the time I walk into the warehouse, everyone is playing on their phones. We’ve also got a pickleball court. He pays for 75% of health insurance and buys everyone lunch once a month. I also know that he payed for a coworker’s legal fees when they were trying to get their kids back from their drug addicted mother.

All that, and a few weeks back some guy was trying to get people to unionize because he read something on the internet.

You seem so confused about who you are, it’s no wonder you’re so angry. Hope it works out for ya bud.

😀

I can tell you’re extreme left. When I see people like you posting stuff like this, it looks just as crazy as MAGA cultists. I don’t want to be associated with people who are toxic and vile to everyone around them. If the world was full of people like what you are portraying here, society would not be better.

Haha I’m not hating on it, I love Star Trek. It just seems like 10% of the posts I see are Star Trek memes sometimes.

Regarding anyone who isn’t exactly like you as scum, because you think they regard other people that aren’t exactly like them as scum seems super intellectual to me. Sure.

Extreme leftist politics, memes, linux, a weirdly active Star Trek community (comparatively) and blocking furry/anime porn communities daily. That’s been my experience so far.

Same thing as you apparently, we just distract ourselves by the state of the rest of the world and see it could be worse.

I really don’t think we need to keep adding more laws that no one will follow to be honest. The government acts like it cares about children, yet they budget laughable numbers to their education. We should be providing some of the best education programs in the world to our future generations. Give them the tools necessary to cut through the bullshit and make good decisions for themselves.

They want us to be morons so we rely on them to make decisions for us. It’s sickening how many people eagerly just give away their agency.

Have a stronger will.

Well, it is a capitalist nation. You also don’t have to watch them and you certainly don’t need to act on them. Commercials help fund television. If you don’t want to see them, don’t watch TV. Unless you think that should just all be offered for free. Actors should work for free, camera crews, sound, lighting, writers… all free, right?

I’ve got no love for FB, or social media in general for that matter, but why are they suing them for it instead of coming up with actual regulation to address the issues? It’s all just a show and the fact that barely anyone sees it means they are winning. You’re all victims of propaganda.

They did the same exact thing with vapes. It was never about the children - they were just a convenient talking point. Data shows teen usage has dropped significantly, but they’re still pushing that narrative because most people aren’t aware. Same thing with the black market THC vapes - some agencies are STILL making the claim that it was from regular vapes. Our government is fucking sleazy and they don’t give a shit about the truth or the people.

I am getting really tired of thinking about the children, and I’m getting real tired of the government forcing bullshit legislation over it. Let the parents think of the children and let’s get the government working on some real shit for a change.

This stuff has been going on since the dawn of marketing. Should we also kill off makeup commercials? Maybe just not allow anyone even moderately attractive to post pictures of themselves online, in ads or appear on TV? Make them cover their faces in public? We can’t have children seeing other humans and getting upset that they don’t look like them!

If parents actually gave a shit about any of this, they would just not allow their children access to these things.

When I read something like that, I don’t think “hey those are actual stats, wow!”. I actually think “hey those are actual stats, whoa!”. Kidding.

You’re being pedantic for no reason

It’s a generalization and their point was not the numbers. It was that in the past people complain about this kind of atuff, Google ignores it and people move on. Google probably even still continues to grow.

However, I think things have been shifting and that may not even end up being the case. Look at Unity.
