This is a very volatile section of the world, everyone should pay us for helping with it

That is the common argument, yeah.

Just going to add a bit of data: NYTS

7.1% of high school students report "current use" (meaning in the last 30 days), of those, 27.5% use daily. Works out to about 1.95% of high schoolers vaping daily. Lower for middle school. Fruit flavors are most popular (which is always true for adults too).

Cigarette smoking is down. Vaping is also down. Overall tobacco use is down.

Unfortunately no reporting on the % using nicotine there.

Honestly seems, like, pretty fine? Do you know what the youth smoking rate was prior to vapes being a thing?

Here: 2011 data

15.8%!! Of high schoolers smoked cigarettes.

Then one day your mate says "hey try this one! It tastes just like candy floss!" But surprise 20mg you're hooked for life fool!

I think you're overstating the addictiveness here. Going from 0 to 20 mg would not be super pleasant - more nicotine makes it harsher on your throat - and it isn't that addictive. I'm sure you know people who smoked a few cigarettes without getting hooked, right? Even 20 mg vapes don't give you blood nicotine levels as high as smoking.

I haven't checked recently but I think your experience there doesn't align with the statistics. Although for these people obviously yeah, vaping is dumb

Fair!

Just imagine being addicted to nicotine but not wanting to die

I would argue my dick is used the vast majority of time, in a nonsexual manner

No doubt. If we're talking % of time then basically nothing is sexual.

But primarily it is a sexual organ. That is why we have them. I think that's the difference when it comes to your mouth example. Or hands as well. It's a little silly to take it to that extreme.

But certainly people overreact about nudity

I think you have good points but it doesn't fit with current social norms in most places. People respond like this because we don't usually see people's junk. Breaking this norm sends people's minds right to sex because that's when you usually see other people naked.

a naked body is not inherently a sexual object

Genuine question: what about a dick/vagina? Likewise it is natural and has other functions too. But it is an inherently sexual object, right?

If so, then I think it's clear why people see naked bodies (literally, the stuff we see all the time + visible dick/vagina + nipples) as inherently sexual. Nudity is fine in theory, but you don't get one without the other.

Just imagine! We would be so stuck. It would require some kind of hydrocarbon-based fuel to be held in storage just in case. Or we could try to split the atom. But that's pure madness. It'd never work

"Low value energy" because "the sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow."

Oil, on the other hand, famously requires no effort whatsoever to locate, extract and refine before use. The wells are just spewing out oil constantly, for free, for eternity. We never have to transport it. Oil just spawns nearby population hubs as ~~Allah~~ ~~yahweh~~ JESUS wills it. There's no way a hostile country could close a relatively small waterway and make that a lot less convenient. And no, oil will not run out eventually. It's eternal. Omg what a cuck who cares about climate change? CO2 is just plant food. Did you fail high school science?

Thank you. I'm thrilled to be destroying the climate (and getting rich) on this blessed day of independence

Come, friendly data centres, and burn up Slough. It isn't fit for humans now

The worst thing about this is when you actually get the money together but then afterwards you're too broke to get the run off the ground. It needs something good to copy or it's just dead weight.

Baron is definitely the worst offender for this because it sucks on a new run

I was wondering which line is most likely to come in. I think the middle row is a good bet in the earlier seasons (they had the CG inside body thing in basically every one)

Also maybe the top left to bottom right diagonal, but the blurry patient vision thing is not that common
