Case in point, men and women are almost 50/50 in STEM careers around Eastern Europe due to the USSRs policies pushing more women into these careers.
People don’t realise that these norms they hold as dogma are so short-lived and subject to change that opposition only shows them unable to comprehend history past their lived experience.
It’s ashame they have to drag us down with them.
See what I meant when I expected the Australian government to do something over those protests? I guess it did make me feel good about myself after all
Pretty sure I had Embrace Extend Extinguish as my ‘status’ when microsoft inevitably introduced that linkedin style social media bullshit to a git server.
Plenty of good alternatives out there, or roll your own!
No I know, I agree with you. I just feel compelled to make that statement because without it people might be more complicit in the destruction of their world after reading yours.
That doesn’t mean we should stop trying for a better world however.
Watching that sub collapse from the influx of people realising something was wrong with the world always amused me, I tried my best to stop people blowing up over Sam Carana posts, doomsday apocalypse predictions, the newest fad political posturing/doomsday devices.
There was a lot of great information there; it was pretty much the only reason I kept reddit around. Thanks for modding.
I support this kind of protest, but let’s not get this twisted: this is only happening to make people feel better about themselves,
I went to this protest, I don’t expect Israel to do anything in response except call me an anti-semite. I do however, expect the Australian government to listen to it’s consitutents and take a hard stance against this fascist regime.
Barotrauma, I checked it out on a free to play weekend a few months back and have been hooked since
Lots of tinkering and the modding community is extensive, best played with friends but the single player is good too
Oh shit PS5 has no games?
Cigarettes have a myriad of carcinogens like toluene, benzene, formadelhyde, hexamine, napthaline and acetone
Stating that vapes are more toxic than cigarettes over one metric is disingenuous journalism.
I’m not disagreeing about the lead content but studies like this get picked up by journalists with the comprehension of a tomato and are then misconstrued into these fear-creating headlines for engagement.
The adoption of vapes tremendously ate into the big tobacco profits, its an extremely effective way of getting off cigarettes. (for better or worse)
If we instead listened to these studies and developed a similar form of nicotine replacement therapy with harm minimisation in mind under industry regulation we’d do far more for smokers, vapers and our healthcare systems than any fear mongering ‘don’t do it!’ campaigns which time and time again do not work.
If you read the paper, it assumes a 100% absorption rate of the heavy metals emitted.
I’m not here to defend vapes but I think that is a seriously overlooked flaw in this study. Most people don’t puff a cigarette/vape and hold it in their lungs until it’s completely absorbed.
Couldn’t see anything about the bioavailability of these carcinogens via lungs factored into the absorption rate either.
Ontop of that the sample size from this study is abysmal and from the same manufacturer and there is also a declared conflict of interest.
IMO more studies need to be done before we can conclusively determine the damage and risks of disposable vapes.
Shit dawg all you had to say is citation needed.
