  • host of other chemicals also cause a wide range of health issues

    It’s mostly the tobacco causing health issues, not the wonderfully addictive nicotine. But yeah, it’s a good thing that flavored cigarettes are banned.

    Though it seems like big tobacco found a loophole on the first day, as you can still get menthol cigarettes in EU… it’s just not as strongly minted as it was prior to the ban.



  • then you’re going to have to do the math re: how much you’re actually going to use

    Sure, you’re probably going to spray a couple seconds at the most, which would be like less than 30 kcal. Basically nothing that you’d really count, unless you’re on a super-strict diet.

    But the problem is that it’s misleading. Uneducated shoppers might choose that brand specifically because “I’m on a diet”, instead of buying a cheaper non-spray version. And/or proceed to put a ton on their food, without realizing avocado oil is almost 900kcal/100g.

    “usually all have the same” isn’t fully true either in my experience. Are you really going to eat just 1/3 of a candy bar? It says 100 calories in big letters, surely it’d be much healthier than the avocado oil bottle that says 120 calories per serving.

    “Serving size” numbers are bullshit and should be banned.











  • The only smart excuse I could come up with would be that parking is cheaper at work than at home? 😅 My current job is only like 6km away and I still drive there usually, but mostly because street parking is like $4/hour during working hours, whereas I have free parking at work.

    A fully acceptable reason for someone to become an ex, though I assume there were many other reasons as well.





  • Imagine this: when you start your car, you’re forced to watch a 30 second commercial. Your car already has eye tracking, which actually is a good safety feature, but we’ll be using this to make sure you’re watching the entire time.

    If you stop watching, it will change to a 1 minute long commercial instead. If you still don’t watch the entire time, we might just start an even longer commercial.

    Or better yet: your inattention is enough reason for us to turn off your car. Lawmakers can’t ban this now, because it’s a secondary safety feature: you don’t have enough attention to mindlessly watch a 30 second commercial, so you’re obviously not alert enough to operate a motor vehicle. Think of the kids.

    Damn, I need to be like Sony and get a patent on this, just to stop anyone else from doing it.


  • Giving an opportunity isn’t entrapment. It would be if someone said “hey dude, that girl there dropped her phone, do you want it?”

    But yeah I get what you mean, and that’s what I meant with “there’s probably more impactful stuff they could be doing instead”… Because no one who does finders-keepers on someone else’s personal belongings (when they can easily see the owner) is a good person tbh.

    Normal people lose their stuff all the time; it’s a good thing if opportunistic thieves think again before considering hurting an actual person, instead of just being a quota-filler.
