Sodium isn’t rare in the slightest. according to Wikipedia, “Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and exists in numerous minerals such as feldspars, sodalite, and halite (NaCl).”

salt isn’t going anywhere. no need to fret.

I try to follow most asmr-nsfw content creators I enjoy on other platforms. But reddit is sadly where a lot of engagement happens.

I absolutely avoid reddit at all costs, though.

I was having a conversation with a friend about this just the other day, in fact. I feel that it would make a lot of things better, but a lot of things worse.

Privacy would essentially boil down to normal internet users, and then the illegal ones. I feel a subset for illegally obtained identities would probably be par for the course. So how to actually enforce this seems really hard to conceptualize. At least for me.

On one hand, I think trolls would either scamper away for fear of actually being held accountable for the things they say, or they’d double down and be even more bold.

It would also enable stalking/harassment/potential violence towards those that are just going about their day.

So I think it would absolutely make terrible people be held personally accountable for all they write/post online. But unfortunately, it would absolutely endanger those that don’t want to cause chaos and be trolls and join hate groups and stuff.

Lots of good. But way too much danger to those that just want to talk about their favorite anime or whatever.

it’s why I’ve stayed since the initial huge migration from reddit. I find myself caring more about interacting with other commenters.

I never did that on reddit because comment sections just kinda felt like battlefields or playgrounds rather than discussions.

oh my goodness yes. I couldn’t imagine buying a disposable every time I ran out.

that would possibly be just as expensive as smoking regular cigarettes.

I just use a little pod system that has replaceable coil heads. it was maybe 60 total because I bought two batteries. but I’ve not needed a replacement battery for my personal vape yet. Just have been replacing (or reusing) my coil heads.

of course they are. it’s why I always encourage people not to buy them. they’re awful for the environment, they’re wasteful and they are lower quality than you’d get with most standard rechargeable e-cigarette kits.

thank you! I will check it out.

I’m sure this isn’t the right place to ask this, but does anyone have a website they use for apks that is pretty solid?

I’m trying to de-google my life and the play store is the last holdover for me. I already use F-droid but that is more for open source software.

apologies if this was the wrong place to ask.

oh I understand yeah. certainly. but surely it’s not difficult to explain it to most users.

them understanding or caring about the issue is another problem. brand loyalty is a thing. but then there’s users for whom brand loyalty isn’t really a choice, it’s just what they’re used to or they’re not skilled enough to understand what the difference is.

i feel that’s a much stronger problem here. that particular subset of people don’t understand the device they are using. they’re basically angry because the green people in their messages don’t look right or don’t load right. that makes it “bad” if you don’t understand why.

basic understanding of the technology you carry in your pocket is lacking for a huge user base. but apple… kind of relies on people not understanding. it makes it easier for apple to go “Green text bad! hate people with that!” and still keep it’s users that might not understand in the dark.

I’m not either. considering that over 70% of the world is on android, you’d think the compatibility problem would be laid on Apple and not 3rd party applications.

“The source declined to identify the foreign governments involved in making the requests but described them as democracies allied to the United States.”

Speak up, now. There’s a lot of democracies and “democracies” to go off that description.

Why is it that signal users are so… obsessive? it’s just an encrypted messaging app. Not the second coming of christ.

it’s giving ghaik.

I think I’m at a point where I don’t care what appeals to kids. I shouldn’t have to miss out on stuff I like cause a kid “could” be interested in a flavor I also like.

“But kids like fruity flavors!” OK? and what do I care? I’ve never seen anything marketing ecigs towards children.

That’s on the kid’s parents. not me. I’m a legal adult and I showed my ID and bought my stuff. Parents need to be present if they don’t want their kids hooked on stuff. And keep their kids outta adult spaces.

I don’t see the need to make it more complicated than that.

Agreed. Education is the way to move forward. Banning it just creates more problems and solves none.

they think prohibition works. it never does. History always repeats itself.

don’t waste your time on them.

the “1984” got me good. XD

ayyyy nice one! 👈😎👈

I wonder how much of that is placebo effect.

This advertisement for the new Ratatouille is kinda weird.
