Meat for the meat grinder.

It’s the tobacco industry that screwed themselves over with these. They opened so many stores near high schools you’d swear it was a drug cartel front of it wasn’t for all the kids coming and going from them. Irresponsible greed backfired on the tobacco industry spectacularly here.

In Australia, most of the tobacco store chains were grey market importing vapes from Asia that had nicotine in them even if they were labelled nicotine-free. They also weren’t up to our mandated standards, often containing many nasty chemicals that people shouldn’t vape.

The industry also shot itself in the foot with these vapes by opening countless amounts of stores right up the road from every high school in the country. The one near mine has 8 within quick walking distance. They were selling these dodgy vapes to kids, often still in uniform like candy. It wasn’t unusual to see kids come and go from these shops in their school uniforms all the time. A few kids ended up in hospital because of these vapes too.

Personally, I’m glad to see these go and the health of our people will be a lot better for it. This article is also incorrect about the timing, it was announced some months ago that this ban on vapes was coming.

Just visit the specific subreddits with content that your after using bookmarks while you also use Lemmy. There’s no sides to this stuff that you have to choose between.

A Big Mac where I am is basically just a cheeseburger with lettuce, more bread and different sauce. The circumference is exactly the same and it’s using the same patties too.

Charging parents for kids crimes will just be used as a weapon to lock up parents that authorities don’t like. The only way to stop school shootings is to have better gun laws in the first place, as unpopular as that might be in America.

That 5GB cloud storage is a bit stingy though on their standard plan.

A pen and paper, for work.

You know those people who seem useless and forgetful all the time? They don’t write anything down so they are lost when they try to do things and too embarrassed to ask for advice again because they forgot what you told them. You also end up repeating stuff to them over and over again when they just don’t do a task or mess it up.

Don’t be that person, write stuff down!

Browsing Lemmy on my phone.

It’s odd that you’re getting that. Are you sure you’re actually using a bidet and not your garden hose?

I mean, I guess that’s a complement in a way at least.

Ya’ll a bunch of techy people, how has nobody here just botted this yet?

Yeah exactly. I would have thought by the time I gave it a parents name or two that would be enough, but no.

And money by the looks.

Different goals. The Reddit app is trying to be good at whatever junk the Reddit owners want to shove in your face and to harvest information from you. That goal doesn’t typically align with a good user experience in the end.

Still using XMPP to this day and my current client is Gajim. Discord is still “better” overall than it. If XMPP could cleanly and neatly intergate voice chat (like Mumble) and support images and things smoothly then it would be great, but it does not. This is a big part of the reason “nobody” uses it beyond what happen with Google/Facebook.

I looked a little into making one but there isn’t an API for KBin that would translate into a good experience yet.

They have different UIs that are better tailored to their respective platforms so imo it’s better to have accounts on both.

You don’t need to have a single account for everything and it’s far better for several reasons not to, even when it comes to Lemmy. Your browser and apps remember your account details for you anyway.

Probably one of the few useful bots ever added to Reddit.

We didn’t need a million and one spelling, grammar and whatever other stupid bots the place got infected with. Hopefully Lemmy doesn’t end up with them either.

Oh you thought the end goal was to make a good website. Hahaha.
