is tiktok still chinese-owned? i can't remember but either way i'd say that might be a factor in the chode's verbage.

I think he's trying to draw an artificial difference between both by saying that most children are on TikTok, rather than Twitter and others. Which could be true between social media platforms

But misses that the vast majority of people and children are not on either.

They recognize, rightly so, it is the sitting president who is responsible for their material reality.

i quit smoking after getting really bad bronchitis to the point where i was physically unable to smoke and had to buy nicotine gum to deal with the withdrawal, and then figured i might as well quit since i already started.

My friend's dad had a similar quitting story. Got the flu so bad that he stopped smoking for a month because it was gross and uncomfortable. Once the virus cleared up he decided he may as well be done. 40+ years of smoking and that was it.

yeah if i was ever forced to quit temporarily i'd probably stop because i'm old, but the point remains that any government action regarding tobacco is a cynical pandering ploy that is more than happy to misrepresent risks and consequences in order to justify draconian policy.

historically things i've taken interest in have been either ignored entirely or whatever the worst possible outcome is has happened, so since i'm voicing pro-smoking commentary democrats will make all tobacco cultivation and consumption illegal, schedule 1

I mean smoking is legit bad for you, but the hysteria about it has always been overblown because it is a winning political strategy.



you can see the very obvious correlation, it's definitely bad for you 20 years later. but at it's peak in the 60s cigarettes consumption was four thousand per person per year. if you smoke 20 a day, a pack, that's only 7300, which means on average every single adult in the united states smoked a half a pack of cigarettes' a day, which is honestly crazy to me. in exchange for that, 20 years later, 80 people out of 100,000 die of lung cancer. 0.08% risk of dying 20 years later when you are in your sixties if you smoke a half a pack a day.

covid really hammered home how artificial the outrage about those deaths was, considering it is ten times more deadly and kills you immediately.

this isn't really a valid comparison because the distribution of cigarettes smoked isn't well described by an average, and people can only get lung cancer once, but who cares. it looks valid and that's what counts. no one will call you on it

edit: wait how did i end up in this thread

Covid has ruined risk assessment. Driving drunk is statistically less harmful to yourself and others than eating in a restaurant. Smoking a pack a day is less dangerous than eating in a restaurant once a week. Having unprotected sex with an HIV-positive person is safer than riding a bus without a mask. And so on.
