I’ve been daily driving Bazzite for about 3 months now and am really enjoying it. It’s a gaming focused ‘immutable’ distro.

Already been down voted by a .ml user that got offended by me daring to insult their precious instance. Fuck .ml and their trash mods and admins lmao

You have been banned from lemmy.ml for violating rule 2

I agree completely. I don’t want anyone let alone young people getting addicted to nicotine, but a straight up ban isn’t gonna stop it. When I was a teen it was easy for me to get someone else to buy me smokes or booze or weed, just needed to pay a runners fee which was perfectly fine to me back then. Kids are dumb (so was I, no shade) they’re gonna do what makes them look cool and helps them to fit in with their peers.

Idk what the answer is tbh, but straight up bans aren’t it. That’s just pushing it to the black market and taking away taxes.

Unpopular opinion on lemmy but why not? Kids are gonna get their hands on nicotine no matter how hard it’s regulated, same with booze and weed and cigarettes. Banning flavored juices just pisses off a lot of older vapers like me that have been vaping for years. I originally started to quit cigarettes, which I smoked for 6 years, and now 8 on the vape.

If I wanna poison my lungs, what business is that of anyone else’s? Don’t try and give me that bullshit about “think of the children” either, they’re gonna get their hands on nicotine regardless whether that be through vaping or smoking. Vapes are the lesser evil, my lungs don’t feel nearly as shitty as they did when I was smoking cigarettes. Anecdotal obviously and there aren’t any long term studies on the effects of vaping (as far as I know at least) but I don’t lose my breath walking up a small flight of stairs the way I did when I was smoking a lot.

You ban flavours and you’re just pushing that to the black market. Sure I could just quit but that’s insanely fucking hard and I’ve tried multiple times, and quite frankly I just don’t want to at this point. My life sucks enough, let me have my fruity vapour for fuck sakes and quit trying to ban shit, the alcohol prohibition didn’t work, keeping weed illegal didn’t stop people from getting it, you’re just taking a highly taxable product off the market. I don’t wanna smoke nasty ass cigarettes, I like my peach flavoured vape juice.

I know lemmy has basically zero sympathy for nicotine addicts so I’m sure this will be heavily down voted but I just wanted to voice my opinion. Fuck off and let me live my life how I want to live it. Lung cancer or liver failure is basically my retirement plan since I’m otherwise gonna work until I drop dead anyways.

Edit: But I fully support banning disposable vapes. They’re a huge waste and banning them would raise the barrier of entry for people that want to vape. I have to change my cotton every few days and change my coils every month or so, and it’s fairly easy to mess up. Even premade coils with cotton already in them are a barrier to entry, I know a 30 year old dude that went back to smokes cause he’s too lazy to buy new coils and change them when they start tasting bad.

Fuck disposable vapes. Adds a ton of unnecessary waste.

What did humanity do to deserve such loyal friends? God I fucking love dogs so much, one of the highlights of my day is getting home from work and seeing how excited and happy my precious little dog is to see me.

Dogs truly are humanity’s best friend. They love you unconditionally, as long as you treat them right of course.

I’ve been using a computer on an almost daily basis for over a decade now, and before that I used one whenever I had the opportunity because I’ve loved computers since I was a kid. I’m 30 and have carpal tunnel in my mouse hand, not bad enough to get it surgically fixed, but I wear a wrist brace pretty much 24/7 at this point to keep the pain under control.

That said I agree with your point about using whatever you’re comfortable with completely, just wanted to throw my own anecdotal experience out there for others to see. Everyone’s different and what’s fine for you or me may not be for others.

I like to think it’s because they have fun keeping the toy away from you, the act of trying to get it away from them is part of the game!

God I love dogs.

I can’t help but imagine the son doing tippy taps like my dog does whenever I get back from work 😂

It would’ve cost you nothing to keep this to yourself.

Do you not spend at least half of every day being angry about how much capitalism sucks? Filthy shitlib, you’re no better than a right winger /s

It’s no wonder the right is on the rise all around the world, they don’t have “purity tests” the way a lot of left wingers do. They don’t give a shit, if you support the cause then you’re one of them.

But the left? “Oh you don’t 100% support everything I want? Guess I’ll just not vote because both sides are just as shitty”

To clarify, I’m an NDP voter which is the left most party in Canada.

Nah, let your dog lick it clean since they have cleaner mouths than us filthy humans. Whenever I’m done eating I just let my dog lick the plate/bowl/whatever clean and then it’s good to go back in the cupboard.

For the cheaters? A feeling of superiority. For the people that make those cheats? Money from those losers, apparently enough to be worth the trouble sadly.

Admins of .ml are trash as well.

That’s completely fair, I don’t begrudge anyone for using .world, that’s a very good reason to use .world tbh. There are other stable instances though, and I’m gonna shill for my own instance, the .ca admin is top tier and very transparent with the userbase. They straight up said -

“The community is what makes this happen. IMHO any major decision that impacts all of you, should involve all of you.”

Edit: This was said in the thread about potentially refederating with hexbear. I’m sure they knew it would be an extremely unpopular opinion to refederate with that shithole but they still sought out the communities opinion rather than making the decision on their own. Massive respect for doing that, and they abided by the communities wishes to not refederate with them.

Rare to find an admin like that IMO, .ca is where it’s at.

Move to a different instance. Honestly, .world is too big and has too much influence. I get most people just wanna join the biggest instance but tons of other instances federate with .world so you can still have the content without the majority convening on one instance and giving them most of the power.

What would happen if .world went down? Tons of accounts and communities would be lost, people need to spread out to different instances instead of trying to make .world reddit 2.0.

Edit: just saw you’re not on .world, that’s my bad. But my point still stands.
