Definitely known. If you do any of the Instagram Reels/TikTok style of scrolling videos, you'd come across him fairly often. I have always been a raging lefty in almost every category but I still saw his debates quite often. They were kind of pushed by the algorithm as ragebait because the things he said were so ludicrous and his arguments were very weak but he was so confident about them.

I can remember being interested in wearing feminine clothing and even makeup as a child and teenager. At some point I had online friends who were transgender and they kind of pushed the idea that maybe I was trans too (no hate to them, they were teenagers too and probably just excited), but no, still definitely a dude. It's just fun to try different things!

Well, no. It's because Linux has never tried to appeal to casual users. Even if you download something like Ubuntu, you still have to jump through hoops sometimes to install things. People are turned off by using command lines.

With Mac and Windows, you just search up what you want and download it.

Compatability is a huge thing too.

I have a coworker who does this. I accepted a long time ago that we aren't having conversations, she's just speaking AT me.

No one is doing that. YOU'RE the one here that is getting angry at nothing. It's just an option for pixel users, who are one of the only demographics locked into Google photos. Other phone users are free to use their stock photo app. You've clearly just misunderstood the original comment and are trying to save face.

Also the 'equal rights equal fights' rhetoric I often see on here and reddit. Like seriously? Are we children?

When have you ever been in a situation where you have to punch a woman? It's such a ridiculous argument. I don't understand why women wanting to be paid as much as a man for the same job is equivalent to getting involved in physical fights. 'hey, you want to be paid fairly? Better be able to hold your own in the ring! No complaining allowed, you wanted this!'

I mean, I think that's a stretch. We know that vaping gives you popcorn lung and likely lung cancer also the same as cigarettes.

Alcohol in moderation has no long lasting effects. If you drink in excess it's not great for your liver sure, but it's still not as bad as smoking/vaping.

For the record, I'm pro legalising cannabis, and if people want to smoke and drink up a storm in their own home on a Friday night, go for it!

However, in the interest of public health, a tax on vapes wouldn't be a bad idea. There's no reason they shouldn't be as restricted as cigarettes are. If they're expensive then it doesn't stop those who really want to partake from using them, but it limits children's access.

Also, alcohol IS taxed already.

Maybe so, but they are terrible for you and there shouldn't be incentive to do it. Vapes are very cheap, this is partly why they're so popular with children. Maybe it they were a bit pricier then people would think twice. Can also put tax towards public health service.

A good move in my opinion. Not sure how enforced it will be but phasing out cigarettes full stop is a good idea.

Now we should be clamping down on vapes. Tax them more, ban advertising, hide them from sale and put them in the same blank packaging as cigs.

In my opinion, they should ban the sweet flavours and only allow menthol, tobacco or mint flavours but not sure how that would fly.
