No they didn't, people got tired of the smell and public awareness of smoking came from watching family members die. Labels didn't do shit. Smoking was on the decline before the labels even showed up.
And its now for everyone. An armed minority is harder to oppress. You know why the LGBTQ+ and minority communities have the largest increase ever in gun ownership? I'll give you a hint: it's not because the 2nd was for slaveholders....
I brought it up from a different user who acts like all guns are for hunting.... your comments have done nothing to further the discussion, they made 0 sence in the context that my comments where in.
Because the OP said that the AR15 is a pointless gun and then ranting about hunting....the 2nd is not for hunting. Your comments to mine are pointless.
The wife and I are getting older. We have been working for decades at this point. But we are too young to retire, and we had kids late.

I mean...they can, you just refresh the motor. Tons of ICE vehicles out there with 400-500k miles on them. Hell most semi trucks have millions of miles on them.
I don't get how people are replacing their phones so damn often. I buy used flagships that are usually a year or two old and rock them for another 4 years. Note 10+ here, and I've had it for around 3 years now, probably won't upgrade for another 2 years, as it's perfectly fine still.
It's hard to improve when the data in is human and the data out cannot be error checked back against its own data in. It's like trying to solve a math problem with two calculators that both think 2+2 = 6 because the data they were given said that it's true.
Would be fucking hilarious if they're running their own shit AI that was just pulling its data from the TS platform and it created this ad. Considering we know what their userbase is like over there
Yep, call putins bluff and send in troops and wax the russian military. All this "o no they're going to escalate" is just giving them more reasons to escalate, because there is no threat of retaliation from NATO/EU.
Mine is nostalgia. That's literally my copium drug and it really is strong some days. It's not that I sit here everyday and never move on to newer things, I do sometimes embrace new things and realize there's more out there than what I have....
Understanding that the world is not black and white and that today is the best day ever and most peaceful day ever for all of humanity so far. Yes the challenges seem steep but when you understand history, they don't seem as bad as what has happened in the past.
DUBAI, May 19 (Reuters) - A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog, an Iranian official told Reuters, and rescuers were struggling to reach the site of the incident....
Honestly at this point NATO needs to call putins bluff and put boots on the ground, turn the russian military into fertilizer, and show china it's not fucking around. No sovereign nation should have the threat of invasion at some 2 cent dictator whim.
NATO allies are inching closer to sending troops into Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces, a move that would be another blurring of a previous red line and could draw the United States and Europe more directly into the war....
Fuck that, call that shit stains bluff and put NATO boots on the ground and turn russias military into dust particles. The only way to stop the new nazis is to remove every semblance of them.
Damn straight, if you ordered a sandwich in a restaurant and they brought you a burrito or taco.. you'd be really confused and a bit annoyed that you didn't get what you asked for.
This makes me wonder if they sell nsfw subs data...if they don't mods could just make their subs nsfw and the data doesn't get collected...might be the same for accouts set to NSFW as well.
I don't see how they're going to pass the safety regulations here and in the EU. A ton of their ICE vehicles never made it here because they're dangerously designed and built.
That's not %100, the EX30 is still engineered and developed in Switzerland and pretty much everything MG wise, was and still, is developed in the UK..yes both are owned by Chinese companies, but it doesn't mean the products are solely Chinese. You are correct they can build cars that are designed to conform to western markets with much stricter regulations, but I don't think they're going to do so without significant input from branches in these countries.
I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn't see anything relating to it and I'm kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see....
It's on par or worse than boomers. Do remember these kids grew up with mainly cell phones, very few had to actually learn how to type and use a computer. Go to r/teachers and you will see countless stores of how far behind they are compared to each previous year. I feel like millennials and Gen X strived for the easiest and best user experience, which means less having to figure things out like we did.

I will not work for a company that thinks it needs to babysit it's employees. The idea that you have to constantly micromanage someone is ridiculous, if they're that shit at their job, you let them go and get someone else for the role.
