I remember when no one talked about measles, and now suddenly everyone is. 🤔

Autocorrect shall decide the Victor.

Online vape seller has ‘no intention of stopping’ shipments to Australia, despite nationwide ban — ‘We have no intention of stopping just because of one twat in Canberra.’ ( www.vice.com )

Online vape seller has ‘no intention of stopping’ shipments to Australia, despite nationwide ban — ‘We have no intention of stopping just because of one twat in Canberra.’::The New Zealand-based seller issued a notice to its Australian customers that shipments will continue regardless of the government's vape reform.

Ignorant take. When vape products contain, at most, 6 ingredients, all of which have been individually extensively studied, none of which are carcinogenic, and 5 of them are FDA approved for food and pharmaceuticals, theres a pretty obvious harm reduction to inhaling thousands of compounds with at least 70 being carcinogens. So much so that every study you can find will conclude the same.

Here's a quote from a source I would call a qualified institution on the matter: "In its 2016 assessment, the Royal College of Physicians of London stated: “Although it is not possible to precisely quantify the long-term health risks associated with e-cigarettes, the available data suggest that they are unlikely to exceed 5% of those associated with smoked tobacco products and may well be substantially lower than this figure.”

That isn't pseudoscience. It's easily found by a quick Google search.

Conclusively, we're going to find that the tobacco industry makes far less money off of refined nicotine than it does from tobacco. There's a reason Phillip Morris bought a 30% stake in Juul, ran their advertising into the ground, and now also exclusively funds anti vaping ads rather than anti tobacco product ads.

They hooked a new generation on nicotine with Juul and are trying to ban vaping to sell their higher profit margin cigarettes.

Whether my conspiracy conjecture is found to be true or not, studies comparing vaping to smoking keep coming to the same conclusion, vaping is less harmful than smoking. If you have a study or information to the opposite I would love to read it.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

You're clearly not cherry picking. If you were, you might have some articles that at least hint that ECs might be more harmful than cigarettes, but none of them come close. The first link you posted gets the closest, but it's also just an article about one experiment, using 4 liquids that are not recommended in EC communities.

The rest of the actual studies you posted are not about safety. They do not compare disease or illness or death between the two. One of them does compare the amount of toxic chemicals in ECs to cigarettes and finds ECs to have zero. Until there are long term studies comparing the rate of death and disease, no journal is going to publish any definitive answer that ECs are safer than cigarettes. Until then, we will just have a bunch of studies comparing chemical composition, rates and particle sizes. And if it isn't obvious, chemical composition and their rates are a bit more worrisome than the latter.

If you read through these studies and still think vaping is more harmful than cigarettes, then by all means wait the 50 years it will take the scientific community to out right say the obvious "vaping isn't healthy, but it is significantly less harmful than traditional tobacco smoking."

The GOP would never agree to the parallel because the brown ones cost more.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

The brown ones cost more to raise due to their inherent behavior and lack of rooster figure.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

I'm sure there's a relevant bible verse that can be used to justify that.

There's that one where "and Jesus spoke unto his flock, 'maketh my words weapons, and ye shall have the word of God to force women to have sex with you for all eternity' and everybody clapped"

I encourage everyone who cares about piracy to not talk about it in an outright and encouraging manner. Here's some examples based on what people are publicly posting:

-"This is why we commit crimes"

-"I think it's crazy that everyone doesn't commit crimes."

-"Committing crimes is justified when I can't do it legally."

Do you think corporations would be upset with people encouraging what legally equates to theft?

Do you think corporations are unaware of if their legal property is popularly being stolen?

Do you think corporations avoid scraping lemmy for data or trends?

Do you think corporations have unreasonable power to lobby government and push legislation?

Maybe you should all quit narcing yourselves and making a public spectacle before another wave of legal action takes place to dissuade another generation, like what happened back in the Napster days.

Businesses aren't implored to be less shitty or charge you less. Businesses are implored to upheave whatever avenue you use to steal possible profit. When Businesses hear everyone is pirating again they aren't going to lower their prices or increase their service value. They are going to give pirates the shift.

Read between the lines. If you want to continue pirating don't talk about it online. If you want them to feel it in their wallet, don't talk about it.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

Yes of course there will be a way. That isn't the point.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

I never said to stop talking about them. I said people who do pirate should stop openly telling people that they do so. To say there is nothing corporations and the government can do is downplaying their power. The senate already thinks the internet is a series of tubes. Let's not give them a reason to plug those tubes.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

I would wager the capitalists with billions of dollars have a bit easier time passing legislation than any of us commoners do.

They are the force.

I'm just saying if everyone that steals from Walmart then goes online to tell everyone that they stole, and everyone pats them on the back, don't be so surprised when Walmart invests to have officers guarding the exit, and pushes some mandatory minimum sentences to make shoplifting harder and riskier.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

In the mean time we should probably agree to not talk about committing crimes on the Internet eh?

IDontHavePantsOn ,

....do you pirate movies,music, games, or books?

We all know that the vision pro is a porn machine masquerading as a innovative product. That goes for all VR. The first youtuber to give headset reviews centered around their ability to immerse people into porn is going to be the first channel I didn't accidentally subscribe to.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

Corner the market then lower your prices. It's basic economics!

IDontHavePantsOn ,

That is an outrageously long time to wait for a laptop without updates. From the prices I just looked up, it also is outrageously expensive.

I would have sought a refund before now already, but that's just my opinion.

He sees Carlson as weak and easily influenced. Carlson isnt stupid. Carlson has been typecast as an outsider. Carlson has been on a lot of JRE & friends podcasts which have a stronghold in modern media that caters to young men, conspiracy theorists, and GOP boot lickers.

I think Bow Tie Tuck is a better pick than many realize.

I've shit one singular time in a "public" toilet in the past 25 years besides workplace bathrooms, and Porta potties while camping. Workplace or Porta potties both have hand sanitizer which I take copious amounts of on my way in, drip off my hands onto the seat and wipe it down with TP. Rub the rest of the sanitizer on my hands, and eviscerate myself with the equivalent power of 10 men's shits in 30 seconds.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

I'm just here to argue.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

Don't tell me what I want, and don't tell me you're sorry. Do you think I actually came here to abuse people? Do you think I'm that fucked up? Are you trying to tell me what to think? I know what happens next door, and you're not going to get me involved with that weird sick shit that you're clearly involved with. Maybe that would fly with your other friends, but it's not going to here. Why don't you just take your weird sicko bullshit next door and tell them about my abuse huh? Yak it up with all your sick ignorant friends, and pat each other on the back while crying abuse. I'm sure you'll all have a really fucking nice time. Really. Go ahead and have a good time. Is that what you want to hear? Because if I say anything otherwise I'm the fucking asshole right? Well fuck you. I'm done. Got it? I'm done.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

I'll consider it when you give me a better option than to call you moron.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

The kind of asshole that creates a reason to fire anyone at anytime they feel like it, even if the state laws are not "at will", and if they are, they save on unemployment insurance.

Basically every time a psilocybin study is conducted for use in mental health applications it's found to be beneficial. It's just that the DEA doesn't give a fuck and refuse to change the schedule of the drug even with countless studies showing it's effectiveness, as well as countless doctors, researchers, and institutes recommending they reduce psilocybin to schedule III.

Also, we all know what they were doing with that thumbnail.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

I'll listen to the podcast because I'm sure there's info in it that will be new to me, but I do know drug scheduling creates a purgatory that makes substances difficult to research. When the scheduling means that it can't be produced in amounts to create meaningful clinical studies, the "drugs with no currently accepted medical use" definition is difficult to get out of.

To add on to that, if John Hopkins research labs, the same one that came up with CPR, water purification, and genetic engineering, thinks psilocybin has medical use and merit, I believe them.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

What really pisses me off was not just that is was lazily written, but that D and DB knowingly ran it into the ground. They had a Q&A where they admitted it.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

From what the article says, the guillotine was dull. It sounds more like the researchers didn't like watching the animals suffer from a dull blade and instead used what they had to to make sure the death was as quick as they could. As for the expired anesthesia, that should be under a direct policy of the university. If they don't have a policy to track expiration dates of their lab solutions, then the university is 100% at fault and should have a deeper remediation than just saying "solved". They might be able to back it up, but they are in hot water until they do.
