Can’t say what all the comments are like now, but at the time of you posting that there was literally no one defending vaping in the comments

Is it? I think it’s worth pointing out that they only tested 3 models (?) from the same company. We have no idea if it can be extrapolated so the headline is hyperbolic. It’s like saying apples potatoes are poisonous but you only tested 3 farms owned by the same company for poison.

Regardless, I am pro-regulation for both safety and environmental impact. They created an insane amount of ewaste already and now some have full color LCDs…on a device you’re supposed to throw away in a month

Lil bro still out here arguing. If your goal was to get blocked, I guess you win!

You still think you somehow deserve an answer lol

Don’t stew over this too long, lil bro. It’s not healthy.

Buddy, you may be an expert in vehicular regulations but I sure hope you don’t think you’re expert in picking up on social cues.

I will be blunt and leave no room for doubt here - I am not interested in debating this topic nor am I interested in debating anything with you in particular.

Imagine being in a casual conversation in real life and having some random guy walk up and start ranting about a point you weren’t making. You’re confused but acknowledge their presence out of courtesy. Then they drop another essay on you and this time they’re insisting you defend the point.

That’s you in this thread. You’re that annoying guy.

Please go make some friends. Your smarter-than-thou attitude is absolutely insufferable.

Buddy, do you really think everyone criticizing this uses vapes?

Do you think it’s impossible to criticize points you agree with? I prefer misinformation getting called out

Noting the flaws in mythology is kind of important to science…And the article doesn’t do it so people in the comments are.

Perhaps don’t put words in people’s mouths and write dissertations about it? The lengths of our replies should be evidence enough that one party is trying to force an argument and the other simply isn’t interested.

Please move on and have a good day!

Why wait 12 months when you could do it this weekend?

I was literally giving an example of something apparent at a practical exam. I’m not reading another essay from you, farewell!

You asked me why I liked Idea A more than Idea B and I told you.

Now you’ve just written me a lengthy reply about why Idea B is actually bad and expecting me to defend it.

You are being weirdly aggressive about a strawman and it’s extremely offputting. Please don’t do that.

Because things change? People get worse at different ages? I dunno man, I like the idea of some routine verification that someone is capable of safely using a 2-ton murder machines.

How many deaths does it have to prevent for it to be worth it?

It’s true that it would do nothing for someone who deliberately breaks the law but, especially when it comes to the elderly, poor vision and reaction time is a big factor in driving ability - both would be obvious during a practical exam.

But changing traffic laws isn’t what makes people bad drivers.

Everyone should have to take the written AND driving portion of the test every 10 years or so.

Wow, you weren’t kidding.

Great way to get me to hit the back button and never go to that site again. A shame because I did want to read it

That’s not just an argument, that’s fact. Fascists and Republicans (yeah yeah, “same picture”) both actively campaign to the unintelligent and/or uneducated. Fear is a primal emotion and they love to stoke it

This is such an online comment, man. You could have taken 5 seconds to check if the election you clearly aren’t invested in happened yet but instead, you invented a result to get mad about

I bought a condo in 2009/2010 and the market is way crazier now. Back then it felt very…human? This time around, the whole process selfish and greedy with everyone trying to take advantage of you on both sides.

Oh also worth noting that housing is a different kind of beast in the way it “handles” supply and demand. If you can’t afford to buy, you can still rent. Banks will lend as much as possible because don’t care if prices get crazy - they benefit more than a single homeowner. And if they have to foreclose on you? Well, just add it to the bank portfolio and rent it out

Yeah, it’s just a weird period where things haven’t caught up and there’s nothing any authority could do to force it to catch up

That said, don’t expect prices to go down much. Outside of a total market crash, prices always rise
