And it works because Americans don’t pay attention and our media is full of traitors and cowards.

She plays it for 3 hours a night

“wtf are you on about? Oranges have been banned for 10 years.”

“I’m eating one right now.”

“You’re a liar, prove it.”

“I’m not going to take a picture of myself for you. What kind of idiot thinks oranges are banned?”

“Oh yeah, prove they’re not.”

“Prove oranges aren’t banned by the government? How the fuck?”

“See, I rest my case”

“You fucking idiot…[3 hours of research and case law into it being legal to eat an orange] here you happy?”

“Oh well they banned them in my country (of 6 people).”

I always try to remember this. SOMEONE is an absolute idiot in situations like this, but it’s not always the most obvious one.

Also: someone going super slow in the fast lane. It’s not always the car in front of you, especially if it’s a big car. Sometimes there’s a little car in front of em.

My money is on totally sober moron

They don’t. It’s like those “wait, bananas aren’t supposed to be spicy?” moments. You probably have a mild allergy.

Exactly. I’ve been playing Bethesda games for ages, news like this makes me happy they’re keeping the stuff that works.

Because - and this is the only real answer you’ll get - Starfield is “cool” and “normies” are looking forward to it. Therefore, the “real gamers” must hate it, ESPECIALLY before actually playing it.

Same shit you see in any niche community. Buncha nerds hating on anything too big or popular.

Privacy? What’s that??

Or more accurately, the military wouldn’t want you if you are too smart.

You’re mixed up, that’s US police, not US military.

You’re probably one of those people who has a mild allergy or has your brain wires crossed, like those people who think cilantro tastes like soap.

MintPress News (MPN) is an American far-left[1] news website founded and edited by Mnar Adley (née Muhawesh) which was launched in January 2012[2] and also publishes the MintCast podcast. It covers political, economic, foreign affairs and environmental issues. Editorially, MintPress News supports Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, and the governments of Russia, Iran, and Syria.[3][4] It opposes the governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia,[5] and reports geopolitical events from an anti-Western perspective.[6] In one contentious article, MintPress News falsely asserted that the Ghouta chemical attack in Syria was perpetrated by rebel groups rather than by the Syrian government.[4]

Tankie propaganda. Ignore.

Remember, when terrible things happen to people I hate, it’s okay.

Great, but that’s not why they were banned. I was talking about the US though, where a great many jurisdictions are totally banning vapes, or banning all flavored vape juice, due to this hysteria.

Nicotine addiction is not a PROBLEM though, no more than caffeine addiction. The problem is when the only legal way to get caffeine is by a cocktail of red bull and arsenic.

Nicotine is not the issue. The delivery method is the whole problem.

Sounds perfectly fair.

It does mean that, unless we are stupid or have ulterior motives, we should not regulate them equally heavily.

Besides, the science shows vaping is nearly harmless. I think that, again unless we are stupid, we should not be regulating it “heavily” at all. Just ban it for under-18s. Enforce that ban. That’s all.

The delivery method for vaping is water vapor. The delivery method for cigarettes is to wrap the nicotine in poison and then burn it. And you see no difference?

Let me just rephrase what you said. Instead of “the science isn’t fully decided”, which paints an incorrect picture, let’s rather say “of everything they’ve tested in a typical legal vape, everything is essentially harmless. Some of the components haven’t been tested.”

Saying “the science isn’t fully decided” implies “eh, maybe it’s dangerous, maybe it’s not, 50/50”. That’s not at all the case. It’s almost certainly all harmless. Just very addictive.

It’s the traditional soup of the gazpacho police
