  • Easier said than done. I used to smoke a pack a day for 10 years and I've tried to quit entirely many times in the past. I've tried every method there is out there and it never sticks. If anything, vaping has helped me cut down on my nicotine input significantly because sometimes I don't even use it for half the day and having it next to me is enough to get rid of cravings.

  • Yeah, surprisingly. But it's just vaping now. I started vaping to quit smoking but you have to account for half of gen z getting hooked on juuls awhile back. When those first became popular I was more surprised when I found people that didn't vape.

  • Well, they did have the pods more widely available back when I started vaping to quit smoking. Unfortunately, big tobacco companies lobbied to get all the pod flavors banned and now the only ones you can get at gas stations are menthol and tobacco flavor which both taste awful. Disposable vapes filled the market gap that was created and now we have disposable vapes with lithium batteries plaguing the places cigarette butts used to be.

  • Used to be a pack a day smoker. Personally I don't think it's better for my health, but I don't smell like an ash tray so I got that going for me.

  • Disposable vapes are genuinely evil. With the lithium inside the batteries they are significantly more dangerous than throwing a cigarette out your car window. They have chips inside them with metals that can be recycled and they are made of a hard plastic that'll be around for thousands if years. Whenever I mention this to people I know they agree with me that it's evil but continue to use disposable vapes because it's more convenient. I keep telling my roommates that it's massively cheaper to get a refillable one and they always agree but never buy one. Every time I go to the vape shop to get juice and coils I drop off a literal tub of disposable vapes from my roommates.

    I'm so tired of people being complacent in this and I'm tired of making this rant. People will get nervous about batteries when they see a phone explode in someone's pocket but they'll throw that shit on the ground or in the trash without a second thought. Just go back to smoking if you wanna throw shit on the ground. It's better for the environment and public safety that way anyway.

  • Well, at least one. That we know of.

  • As someone that has met a lot of people that do cocaine, yeah that's not surprising. Maybe not the seat specifically, but pretty much all of them do coke off of toilets. It's a convenient height, it has a similar color so it's easier to clean up, you get the privacy of the stall door, and nobody is gonna bother you while you are there.

  • Damn straight.

  • Even the kids that say it don't even take it that seriously and are 100% aware that it is just brainrot, at least from what I have seen. Although, I do still enjoy saying "sixty seven" to my nephew whenever it comes up.

  • Don't worry guys, they're only putting these AI cameras in literally every city and doing it in shady ways without anyone knowing. And false flags like this happen very frequently.

  • There is no reason for a camera to ever be in a bathroom for any reason. And no matter what reason they can come up with there will always be a downside that is substantially worse.

  • You know what? Sure. As long as they have a reason to release the files I'm down to support it.

  • Tucker Carlson is "fake straight" and should answer questions about being straight.

  • I was hanging out on some conservative forums when the news came out and almost universally people were pissed saying it's an overreaction to what they call the "overreach during COVID." And I'm sitting there reading these comments and thinking to myself that these people are so anti Democrat and anti "woke" that they seemingly have selectively forgotten that this is exactly what people were warning them about. They were legitimately surprised that this has happened and were in denial that this administration would do something like this.

    These are the people that we are up against. They are ignorant and so angry at Democrats that they will literally forget that they were warned about this exact scenario. And the reason I bring this up is because they are ignorant, but they are not universally stupid and can actually think for themselves when given the chance. And we should use opportunities like this to educate them instead of saying "haha you get what you voted for."

  • Well, you should have a problem with it but not for the reasons you think. Any invasion of privacy is an issue when the people in control get to decide what is a reportable offense without explicitly telling you. I get it, you definitely shouldn't be admitting anything illegal or asking illegal advice from a chat bot. You shouldn't be doing anything that is illegal in the first place.That's basically the same as googling how to make a bomb and if you're that dumb you'll get what's coming to you. The issue arrives when you look at the bigger picture. If they have the ability to report anything they want to the police, what's stopping them from releasing anything they want to anyone they want at any time? And when it comes to those receiving the data that's been reported, what proof do you have that these entities have yours or anyone else's interests or safety in mind? What if they decide to change the rules on what they should report, they don't tell you, and then retroactively flag a bunch of your conversions with said LLM.

    It's the same kinda situation that we face with these AI cameras that track us and our vehicles literally everywhere we go. There have already been multiple cases where people in law enforcement were using these tools to stalk people like ex girlfriends. All this is putting a lot of trust into people that none of us even know and expect them to have the best of intentions. What would stop them from reporting that you asked ChatGPT about the current situation in Gaza?

  • And our mass shooting events are pretty low when you don't count bigoted white men.

  • It would help if you actually went to the areas that have high crime and not just where the cameras can see them. If this was about crime it's not like you don't have the data to go find it.

  • I used to say this as a joke in middle-school all the time.
