If you start to ban cigarettes, mcdonalds and similar, also many heart diseases can be avoided

Tobacco consumption has plummeted in the West and continues to. If anything it shows that sin taxes and messaging work. A ban leads to a black market and would be a gross overstep. Alcohol consumption has also fallen.

For one we could stop subsidizing suspect products (e.g. HFCS) and create other incentives.

But freedom.

It becomes like pearl harbour

I still remember Russia going to default 2 months into the war… western media is… like media everywhere else

The propaganda is so effective in the west, we really believe the news is news.

Extremists came from misery, and misery is what drives united states today

Much better now, to make you feel helpless, depressed, lacking just to keep you consuming anything

Ethical standards are exactly the same, it’s regulation that is very different, let’s not give credit to corporations that they absolutely not deserve

Nothing, I've never understood retro computing, for me are useless machines, so I throw everything away as soon as they're outdated

I am pleased to receive your waste!

My Logitech g915 keyboard, every day there is some key that randomly stops working and then restarts few minutes later

My football team has started to do the same thing, every now and then they change jersey throughout the season (without counting the THREE they start the season with) in order to sell new ones

They're making sports really hard to follow, and to be passionate about. Now I only watch it if I catch it in a bar and they have it on, I am hating football, it was on free tv, now some matches are on a paid TV, some other on another one, still paid, before it was wednesday, sunday, now it's monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. I hope a lot of people stop watching it so that we can go back to something that makes sense

Aren't the sports generally growing their revenue and audiences? It seems the reason for the multicolored jerseys, gambling ads, etc. is you: 'You' (most people reading this) keep watching, no matter what.

Wow, my initial thoughts on more jersey variation is "that's kinda fun, but sometimes they're ugly". I'm surprised you think it makes sport hard to be passionate about.

I assume you're referring to football (soccer) since you called them matches.

Do you really think jersey changes are affecting your passion for sports or is this just another example of the system breaking down, but pay-to-watch is what's really hurting your interest?

It's hurting because they're constantly trying to sell you something, even the jersey is full of sponsor in soccer

why not both, it's not the jersey in itself, its the constant tentative of sell you something

I start to recognise idiots when they start talking about absolute stuff, like "freedom of speech means you can say everything" or "developers don't know anything about X" this confirms my rule
