Vaping high quality CBD cartridges helped me through some serious situational depression and anxiety.
Of course some people told me that vaping was a "trash" thing to do, but thankfully I don't care and recognize that my needs are valid regardless of peoples' judgements!
Disgusting? Truly? Everything else I’ll agree with you on, but disgusting isn’t a descriptor I associate with vaping. Certainly not in comparison to cigarettes!
Wow, looks like you just solved it! You should go out and preach your gospel to all smokers, drinkers, and beef eaters. While you're at it please solve climate change and make everyone be nice to one another.
Yeah well obviously they are, but I always do love an HN "oh logical fallacy I win!" response.
My point is that your approach helps no one and has failed time and time again in the past. Remember D.A.R.E? How about abstinence health ed. programs? "Just say no" doesn't work. People like their vices. When a healthier alternative comes along it's a good thing.
Agree entirely that it’s disgusting and attracts kids to the habit.
Problem is kids do stupid things and who has the right to decide for me if I get to do something disgusting?
Bigger issue for me is the talk of socialized healthcare where I’d have to pay the healthcare bills for people who smoke. Why should I have to pay for their bad habit?
But a lot of comfort to the future millions of the people who would have had the same frustrating experience as the previous generation who couldn't find the comfort in those drugs due to their criminalization.
Made even more difficult by the fact that the current generation did not "do the deed" so to speak. In your example of Palestinians or Native Americans - the "occupiers" were born here, this is their home now, the original conquering generation is very much gone, what solution can there be?
Much of that conflict is about things that were done generations ago. True, recent and current actions also fit the bill, but it is disingenuous to claim that the settlement activity is the primary mover of the situation.
One thing that link throws around is the word "illegal". There are customs and treaties, but there is not a world government to enforce the rule of law for these treaties. Many of the definitions like "occupied territory" are up for debate as well. It just doesn't come down to a clear set of rules and an authority to enforce them.

The inability to enforce a law does not make a crime legal. The occupied territories are a violation of international law, even if they are never punished for them.

Look at their contribution margins though. Especially on subs. Unit economics are, I guess unsurprisingly, fantastic on selling 2k bikes with a ~40$ monthly sub.
Encarta had a time and place when I, as a child, had access to disks and wikipedia did not exist yet. What is the point today? Vastly inferior in terms of content by volume, controlled by a single corporation with black box changes to articles (as opposed to Wikipedia's history tracking), impossible to dynamically update after release... I could go on.
Edit: I absolutely cannot stand the smarmy "I wrote code that you use" on his homepage. Sorry buddy, you probably don't.
1) Disappointing HN thread - all about race and little about article?
2) Disappointing article. No depth at all. How is the money spent? How many bees are there? Where does one get bees? Are there flowers around for the bees? How did this person get into beekeeping? Why beekeeping and not, say, an organic garden?
3) Disappointing site - tons of flashing banners and ads everywhere.
What sounds like an awesome, uplifting story that may be replicate-able across the country was turned into an overall disappointing puff piece.
I had the same thought, I read the article to see if that was a thing, like black hat hackers. Turns out in the US, they find amazing that black people can be beekeeepers like white people. And yes, I checked who wrote the article, but it is probably a way of thinking that is shared nationwide.
Right? People raise bees. The people may be black. They may be white. They may be yellow. Or Brown. The people might me muslim, or jewish, or atheist. The bees don't care, and neither do I. I have no idea why it matters.
