Just a heads up: this is an opinion piece, not a peer reviewed article. The obvious confounder in the argument --that kids that are likely to pick up vaping also have a propensity to engage in other harmful activities-- does not require a causal relationship to vaping, and is not discussed on the freely available portion of the piece. It's just a very basic description of a problem that's been described many times before. Not sure what the point is. Maybe there's an elegant solution at the end that's paywalled.

tldr: Unless you've been living under a rock for the last decade, don't waste your time

Maybe he should try not being such an asshole

I'm glad that the shift towards more progressive politics is being accepted by the establishment. It just makes sense even from a purely rational view of "my side wins", and if that's what it takes to enable actual change then so be it, regardless of what kind of politician chuck is on his own right.

Still on my fp4, still have ghost touches, still upset about their painfully slow update cycle and their abysmal customer service

Ok so I watched the whole video and he never said that in the video. They, the adl, monitor Internet traffic for things that could be potentially dangerous for Israel and then forward that to law enforcement. There certainly is overlap there but the headline totally misconstrues what is being said in the video. I am by no means a fan of Israel or the United States but there are plenty of real actual things to be upset about. No need to muddy the waters with statements like this. At least the posted video is not sufficient evidence to back up the stated claim

So I realize this is a shitpost but I've noticed that too and couldn't help but wonder why that is. My guess is that it's because bubble wrap is made to absorb and smooth out peak forces when things are bumped around. By letting the air out slowly the bubble wrap now more effectively does it's job even when it structurally fails.

This is way too good to be a shitpost. Which makes it a shitty shitpost. Which makes it a shitpost

Lol you know the moral of that story is the exact opposite. He ends up doing all the things so he can actually relax the next day. Anyway nice shitpost

ITT: people in a community called "unpopular opinion" making the point that unpopular opinions shouldn't have a platform

Thanks OP, for what it's worth I agree with you

We need to see the video he was making, you know, the one to hold the ICE agents accountable, the one they killed him for

And that, children, is why you double blind

Thanks Buddy! I got so wrapped up in the ai debacle that I didn't look into my question any further 😅 I was actually initially trying to find out where the German designations of "baby", "lady", "mono", and "mignon" come from. Haven't gotten very far on that end either 🤔

 

So I was looking into the history of battery naming conventions. this is imo the absolute best thing about the internet, quickly finding information on very niche topics. I was really excited that somebody actually made a video about the exact weird question I had just asked myself and couldn't find out enough about on wikipedia! I was however quickly disappointed to realize that it's basically just shitty AI slop designed to play the youtube algorithm and generate watch time. at 1:24 the way the sentence is phrased is not only a dead giveaway, it's also detrimental to the understandability of the content, not that there is really any meaningful information being conveyed in this video beyond the immediately obvious. then at 3:01 the battery shown is so totally not an A battery!! that's an ignition dry cell, the precursor to the LR40, the thing is 15 cm tall and can hold 40 fucking amp-hours! just look at those huge fucking screw contacts on the top!!! that's where I realized what was going on. these guys are spreading worthless, misleading falsehoods, poisoning the well of information we call the internet, and at the very least they're parasites, leaching away our time on this earth just so they can make a couple of pennies worth of profit. it breaks my heart 💔
