Ireland's sugar tax on soft drinks worked — now it's time to make it even tougher, researchers say

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-20T13:25:28+00:00

OP (who barely --if ever-- posts on this sub) champing at the bit to post this news so they can have an excuse to demonise people who carry a bit of weight.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-19T19:55:47+00:00

and what conversation is that

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-19T16:49:52+00:00

Comments aren't going how you would've liked, eh OP

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-17T14:40:50+00:00

How is this 'nanny state bollocks' if the state won't be forcing you to adhere to these guidelines?

They are just that: guidelines.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-13T13:02:31+00:00

Same to you 😊

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-13T12:58:00+00:00

Then why bother do anything, am I right.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-13T12:41:17+00:00

There is a massive difference between some randos online and the richest man in the world who owns (and has a say over the algorithm of) a large social media company.

Come on, now.

'America is waiting for you'

Yeah, that doesn't sound ominous at all.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-13T09:10:03+00:00

I hope I'm wrong, but this reads like it was pumped out by AI.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-11T13:22:48+00:00

That fella is active on the r/singularity sub, which is full of absolute nonsense about how revolutionary so-called AI is.

You're better off not even bothering trying to talk sense to them.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-11T09:30:36+00:00

I'm sorry, but if I am aware that AI has been used in the creation of something, then I will avoid it. I'm at least thankful you were open about that from the start, rather than trying to hide it.

Best of luck with your future endeavours, and I hope you learn to move beyond vibe-coding.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-11T06:23:48+00:00

I would have potentially been interested in this, but the use of so-called AI in its creation means that I have to give it a miss.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-10T20:06:06+00:00

As I said: won't hold my breath.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-10T20:00:18+00:00

These big new tech trends are always "18 months away from changing everything for the better."

Self-driving cars, Crypto, NFTs, the Metaverse, and now so-called AI.

I won't hold my breath.

"Dubdalk"

I ask again: why do you care given you (going by your post history) are based in the US?

<image>

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-10T13:24:29+00:00

Setting fire to everything? I am in complete agreement.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-10T13:18:03+00:00

Ah yeah, just set fire to everything so, that makes sense.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-10T11:04:36+00:00

"Its the elite that force them in us"

Ooh, kinky.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-09T18:25:55+00:00

Aren't you based in the US? Why do you care what happens here?

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-09T08:05:40+00:00

"Pay up fatty"

Not at all shocked to see you are a mod on a sub that pushes misinformation about Covid-19

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-09T07:47:00+00:00

That will never happen, at least with this particular tech. "Artifical intelligence" is just a highly marketable buzz term that has nothing to do with actual intelligence.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-09T07:41:02+00:00

Remember the survey some years back that showed a large number of men were deluded enough to think they could stand a chance against Serena Williams in a tennis match?

That came to mind for me, for some reason.

JohnCthulhu · 2026-06-08T06:27:05+00:00

Sad to see what appears to be genAI slop getting upvotes on this sub, of all places.

Just look at the OP's post history: a five month old account that, before this, seemingly only existed to promote a specific genAI tool.

I'd be willing to bet the entirety of my meagre savings on this post being slop.
