In 1997, $100 was worth about $200 in today’s dollars btw

Holy shit guys, does DDG want me to kill myself??

What a waste of bandwidth this article is

Old time beard look? You mean…trimmed beards?

Also, men don’t have to confirm to your beauty standards. Maybe THEY like having old timey beards

Can’t say what all the comments are like now, but at the time of you posting that there was literally no one defending vaping in the comments

He likes me :')

Is it? I think it’s worth pointing out that they only tested 3 models (?) from the same company. We have no idea if it can be extrapolated so the headline is hyperbolic. It’s like saying apples potatoes are poisonous but you only tested 3 farms owned by the same company for poison.

Regardless, I am pro-regulation for both safety and environmental impact. They created an insane amount of ewaste already and now some have full color LCDs…on a device you’re supposed to throw away in a month

I was civil the whole time?

Lil bro still out here arguing. If your goal was to get blocked, I guess you win!

Lmao. Did I already seen your alt? Is it lilbokchoy?

Anyway,

1. That is the only part that even implies kids are included - in contrast to several parts that imply only adults.

2. Get a life, man

I’m happy to be corrected and I do agree it’s a bit ambiguous but I don’t really see any evidence that this study represents the entire population. It says right there that adults were surveyed and the questions include the word “adults”

You still think you somehow deserve an answer lol

Don’t stew over this too long, lil bro. It’s not healthy.

Is there another page? I couldn’t find a link with more info on the survey but every chart says they ask the question specifically about adults. I didn’t look at the “actual percentage” studies but it would be pretty disingenuous to compare their surveys to the percentages of ALL citizens. If that was a bad assumption and they’re actually comparing apples to oranges, please let me know!

And as for the survey respondents - you need to be 16 to make a YouGov account so they definitely weren’t (deliberately) asking children.

Buddy, you may be an expert in vehicular regulations but I sure hope you don’t think you’re expert in picking up on social cues.

I will be blunt and leave no room for doubt here - I am not interested in debating this topic nor am I interested in debating anything with you in particular.

Imagine being in a casual conversation in real life and having some random guy walk up and start ranting about a point you weren’t making. You’re confused but acknowledge their presence out of courtesy. Then they drop another essay on you and this time they’re insisting you defend the point.

That’s you in this thread. You’re that annoying guy.

Please go make some friends. Your smarter-than-thou attitude is absolutely insufferable.

Buddy, do you really think everyone criticizing this uses vapes?

Do you think it’s impossible to criticize points you agree with? I prefer misinformation getting called out

Noting the flaws in mythology is kind of important to science…And the article doesn’t do it so people in the comments are.

Honestly it’s crazier that social media convinced us that “likes” are compliments and not just a dopamine hit for the person clicking it lol

My favorite airport security experience was in Japan. They were doing the whole “do you have any [thing you can’t fly with] in your bag?” thing and the guy asked, with a heavy japanese accent, if I was carrying any explosives.

After a few "carrying a what??"s from me, he pulled out a three hole binder and flipped to a sheet with a picture of a cartoon bomb. We both lost it when I pulled back and said “what the hell?? Nooo!”

I didn’t have anything special like precheck but he let me get in the rich person line afterward. I guess I just didn’t expect to be asked so directly and casually if I was planning an act of terrorism lol

I was obsessed with the D&B soundtrack on the PlayStation game “Rollcage” but as a child with no Internet access, I kind of forgot about the genre…until this exact album.

Hmmm interesting. I guess I got lucky, it was O’Hare to Atlanta and they didn’t ask me to on the return flight either
