Rishi Sunak is considering introducing some of the world’s toughest anti-smoking measures that would in effect ban the next generation from ever being able to buy cigarettes, the Guardian has learned....
I’m very pro-legalization but honestly tobacco is a shit drug. No real high, very addictive and awful health effects. I don’t see many people going through the hassle of maintaining their addiction illegally if it was banned everywhere.
I know, I am one :( But I also know that if I had to go to a dealer to buy cigarettes, I couldn’t smoke in public and it was as socially frowned upon as hard drugs I’d have a much easier time quitting.

China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.
The meme was created by Chinese bloggers, who used it to mock Xi despite heavy monitoring and censorship. If anything, perpetuating it is a show of support of Chinese dissenters.
Ça fait partie de l’endoctrinement, la sexualité ne doit surtout pas être vue comme normale et naturelle mais comme quelque chose de honteux contre laquelle il faut lutter, rapport à notre état naturel de pêcheur etc. C’est mieux si les croyants ont toujours quelque chose à se reprocher, ça évite les questions gênantes et les remises en cause.
Du coup les gens qui ont grandi là-dedans mélangent tout, parler de la puberté et des parties intimes est forcément quelque chose d’obscène, porte ouverte aux TP de masturbation et autres délires de frustrés perturbés.
Could also be a false flag: now they don’t have to do the all-hands which would have been disastrous, and they can pin it on their unreasonable critics.
Yep, I initially loved the show, but I stopped watching when I realized I didn’t care enough to try and keep up with the new clones they were constantly throwing at us.
The thought came to mind after reading a recent post about Baldurs Gate 3 here but it reminded me of the Japense only PSX game Mizzurna Falls where if you don’t perform a certain action early in the game you are prevented from getting a true ending. While this might not be a traditional soft lock because you can still progress...
IIRC failing the speech check is the “normal” outcome. If you convince him he gives you info you would have come across later, allowing you to bypass the next main story quest.
Sure, the technology is available and it works well (mostly). But people are not machines, and in my experience quite a lot of them are not as comfortable communicating through chat and webcams as they are in person. Older people in particular don’t really get that they can be used for quick, informal conversations, and only use them for preplanned meetings.
So am I :) The “older people” in my comment refer to my former boss and colleagues, and their reluctance to adapt to a remote working environment was a major reason for my departure towards more remote-friendly pastures.
For sure, there were other issues, which were amplified by the distance and the lack of communication. Point is you can come up with the best technical solution to a problem, but at the end of the day if the people aren’t able or willing to adapt, there’s not much you can do except fire them (which I couldn’t) or move on (which I did).
I really liked Lower Decks, and I had never watched a single Star Trek episode before. It works very well on its own, though there are times where I could tell I was missing the reference obviously.
Cours de politique aussi, l’extrême gauche c’est quand on pense que le système économique actuel n’est pas forcément idéal, et l’extrême droite ça n’existe pas.

Ça existe partout dans le monde : Yeti, bigfoot, chupacabra, … En général ça part d’une croyance religieuse des autochtones, de quelqu’un qui a trop d’imagination/picolé, ou d’un éleveur qui retrouve ses bêtes tuées d’une manière bizarre.
Fair enough, though one could also see it at recognizing the Jewish roots of the christian religion. And I genuinely believe that the holocaust and general hardships endured during WW2 bought the Jewish people a fair amount of goodwill, it’s not all cynical political calculations.
the French still ban us from wearing religious garments in public
This is completely wrong. You are legally free to wear a kippa or any other religious signs almost everywhere in France. Exceptions are:
in public schools
at work if:
you’re a civil servant
there is a legitimate reason for a ban (security, hygiene, …)
That’s literally it. I lived in a Jewish neighborhood in Paris and saw kippas constantly, nobody gave a fuck.
If you “recognize your roots” but changed your name and also have spent your entire lifetime attempting to murder your parents and grandparents, I think it’s fair to say that you don’t respect or care about your roots.
