It does sound like an obsessive trait but if it’s not causing you any problems and it makes you happy, then why not?

Although, a tip for you or anyone else reading this - letting your hair completely dry naturally without towel-drying it can make the texture so much nicer. I stopped towel-drying mine completely and now it dries with lovely, soft waves, no frizz at all.

Not in my accent 😂

Nice mellun / nice smellin(g)

How do you find it, all I seem to get is trash and if I have to hear the phrase “like and subscribe” one more time I’ll scream?

I don’t think it’s difficult to understand that people feel moved by atrocities that are closer to them. The UK directly helped create present day Israel and the colonisation of Palestinian land. Our current government also supports Israel in their attack on Gaza, meaning our taxes are being used to fund weapons and aid the genocide that’s happening right now. Of course people are protesting here.

Does it mean people don’t care about Tigray? Or course not, but we have less direct influence over what’s happening there.

🤦🏻‍♀️ So when Israel violated Gaza’s border, that’s fine?

There isn’t anywhere safe in Gaza right now.

Like what Hama’s did? Ya, forget terrorists dont have rules didn’t you?

We aren’t talking about what Hamas did, obviously that wasn’t ok?

Gaza is only 25 miles long. The furthest away I could get from my neighbours right now would be the next town over, where 1 million people already live and there is limited food and water. Have some compassion ffs.

And bombing civilians is a war crime, so no, it doesn’t happen in a war zone.

Children shouldn’t be punished for the crimes of crazy men.

Also women here, hi.

I’ve probably read all the threads on the front page of Lemmy about this Greta story, and used to be a heavy reddit user so regularly read threads about her there. The difference in contributed content is night and day. The odd negative comment here would be the main discourse on reddit. I’m not sure why you’re so insistent that there isn’t a difference. It’s ok for the two sites to be different.

I love a good whinge, everyone does, but a reddit whinge in 2023 leans heavily towards right-wing, pro-capitalist, thinly-veiled anti-women rhetoric. I’m not seeing posts here get bombarded with the same comments over and over.

And yet you don’t see it here on Lemmy. The point is the difference in culture between the 2 websites.

Just look at any thread with Greta in the title, all the top comments will be grown men whining about her, her methods, how she’s not making any difference, making fun of the way she talks or her appearance.

I don’t know how anyone can care so much about someone doing something they care about, but Redditors, uniquely, manage to get incredibly worked up.

I’ve literally never had this, could be country specific? I’m in the UK.

That data is 6 years out of date and times have massively changed. Seriously, just go walk down the street after the kids have finished school for the day and your eyes will be opened.

This report is from 2 years ago so still out of date, but you can see the change that happened just in the 4 years between this and the one you linked:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vaping-in-england-evidence-update-february-2021/vaping-in-england-2021-evidence-update-summary

Under half (43.0%) of 11 to 18 year olds who were current and former vapers reported always using vaping products that contained nicotine – 17.3% reported always using nicotine-free products. Three out of five (61.3%) 16 to 19 year olds who had vaped in the past 30 days used nicotine in their current product – 17.3% said their product did not contain nicotine.

Over half (58.2%) of 16 to 19 year olds who had vaped in the past 30 days did not feel addicted to vaping but 38.5% said they felt a little or very addicted.

Just under a fifth (18.4%) of current vapers aged 11 to 18 reported experiencing urges to vape almost all the time or all the time.

More 11 to 18 year olds who had tried vaping said they had:…

tried a vaping product and never tried smoking (28.9%)

That isn’t true, Elf bars and Lost Marys are so easy for kids to get hold of and it is 100% what they’re using.

It’s just a fact, I don’t think it needs to be funny or clever.

Rishi Sunak also just promised to ensure cars will be able to drive through heavily populated areas indefinitely and has pushed back plans to introduce electric-only cars. He absolutely does not care about peoples’ health.

I mean, we had a similar test in the UK ages ago so surely they realise this hasn’t affected vaccinated people?.. What do they think it’s going to do, exactly?
