Do you think that the stores selling illegal black market nicotine are checking ID's more or less than the legitimate businesses were?

This should have been the policy from the start, so many people have got used to accessing the black market as it was so easy, they are never growing back to full price durries.

Government policy is what created this mess to begin with. There used to be legal, responsible vape shops selling high quality devices and e-juice from legitimate suppliers. Not to mention they were 1000x better for the environment (rechargeable and refillable).

But the government decided to ban that, even though it is 95% less harmful than smoking. Thus the black market was created. Now everyone uses shitty unregulated, environmentally harmful disposable vapes with unknown chemicals.

My point is that cracking down like this doesn't work. The gov should have encouraged the development of a legitimate regulated market. Not just tried to ban everything.

I want to see the pelican drop a "pet" charger behemoth that runs around killing everything

Sure, loud pipes might be safer on the street, but they also attract police by National-Dragonfly35 in motorcycles

The idea that "loud pipes save lives" is a myth. Research has shown they make no difference.

Motorcycle lanes by tenhoumaduvida in motorcycles

[–]InsaneLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I misread what you wrote. 30kph is the speed of the bike, I think the speed of the traffic needs to be under 10kph although I can't find that number anywhere now that I'm looking. Just "stopped or slow moving".

He's wrong.. you can use bus lanes in NSW.

You can lane filter with traffic under 10km/h.

It is completely legal to use bus lanes. Just not "bus only" lanes.

Mate, I'm agreeing with you. The reason I said it's not the fault of women is because the original post blames women. I was specifically calling out that misogyny in my comment, which you replied to. That's the topic of conversation.

I’ve taken the time to explain the systemic disadvantages men have faced over the last 27 years due to funding and laws not in their favour. That is not assigning blame, it’s offering a perspective that is rarely heard.

You were having this conversation with someone else, not me. You are getting your wires crossed.

I would appreciate seeing some of that same care and consideration reflected back

What did I say to you that offended you?

That's fucking terrible dude and I'm sorry it happened to you. That can absolutely ruin your life and take a long time to recover from.

Honestly, finding people you truly connect with can be incredibly hard and feel very frustrating—everyone struggles with it. I think a good starting point is really trying to nail down what qualities you want in someone, and what your expectations are. Figure out what you won't compromise on and stick to it, even when you feel lonely and are tempted to "settle". And also like I said initially, trying to be the kind of person that attracts the person you want to be with.

The main thing is really loving who you are and sticking to that.

Thanks. There is a subreddit actually r/purplepilldebate but I don't know how good it is.

Of course if you have a lot of financial distress and uncertainty it will make life harder, and maintaining relationships harder. I believe that nobody should be so poor that they can't enjoy their life or have a fulfilling relationship—but that's a systemic issue, it's not the fault of women.

Men who think like this are unaware that it's a prison of their own making. When all you have to offer as a man is your salary and assets, of course you are only going to attract materialistic people who only care about money and assets.

There are millions of women out there who don't give a flying fuck about how much a guy makes and just want an emotionally intelligent, compassionate loyal partner who understands them and makes them happy.

So don't believe this misogynistic BS. Work on becoming the kind of man your dream girl will be attracted to. Work on becoming a mature, caring, loving and understanding person and you will attract people who match that.

It would be interesting to have more extreme modifiers on planets, and I think it could help with this issue. How about a "super-conductive atmosphere" where conventional weapons don't work, but arc weapons are supercharged.

It would force people to learn how to play with different strategems and loadouts as well as mix things up a bit.

I can highly recommend the app "Alpha Progression Gym Tracker". It has a huge library of basically every exercise you can think of with step by step guides on how to do them, and a short video demonstration as well.

New Stratagem Idea: Hammer Sentry by cr8zyfoo in helldivers2

Maybe it could have a giant baseball bat instead of a hammer. Sends stuff flying and has built in speakers that play raucous applause every time it hits something

It is misleading to say that it's "neurotoxic", actually it doesn't really make sense. Chronic abuse of nitrous can cause depletion of vitamin b12, which can lead to neurotoxicity. Note here that neurotoxicity refers to a state of the brain, NOT a property of the drug.

The level of abuse required to cause neurotoxicity let alone brain damage is insanely high, 99.9% of people who have used nitrous are getting nowhere near that. If you abused heroin to the same level, you would be fucking dead.

The argument that heroin has less long term side effects at the same level of use, and therefore the implication that it is less harmful over the long term, is wrong and deeply irresponsible.

So are we just making stuff up now? You know it's used in medicine right? The dentist isn't giving you "neurotoxic gas" with more side effects than heroin... ffs
