And let's face it, the only options for cutesy interfaces like in Trek would be Linux or MacOS.
My kid installed Arch once upon a time. I was impressed and pleased with him, but also thinking that was way more work than I wanted to do to not use Windows. So I bought a Steam Deck.
So, if can only assume that you don't believe tobacco companies did the other things they did because North Americans were growing, drying, and smoking tobacco for thousands of years before those companies came into existence.
Everything you described is what happens when niche hobbies become mainstream. That doesn't mean malicious organizations can't see the potential for profit and engage in predatory practices. And it doesn't mean that something that wasn't particularly harmful to society can't become harmful when it goes from a niche activity to something mainstream and commercialized.
Care to explain how your vaping experience would be lessened if the device didn't look like a children's toy? Or why they should be allowed to be advertised on TV? Also mentioned in those links, about 15% of youths vape with unflavored products. If they can do it these days, I'm sure you'll be able to handle it, too.
I kind of love how you acknowledge how addictive nicotine is, yet can't fathom tobacco companies, the same people who lied to their customers for decades to keep their industry afloat, making products specifically to entice new users at an easily suggestible stage in their life.
There was also a soccer team whose plane crashed in the Andes, and even they got along fine. Even with the cannibalism.
The tank that looks like a car...that looks like a tank.
This is a great reason to take a day off work. "Sorry, boss, my cat tried to eat a bee and I need to be with it." Then take all the pictures you can because they will all be pure gold.
Everything's golden with him. Toilet seats, sharpies, hair, skin tone in the right light...
Calm your tits. Were talking about going up to 2% of our GDP. Officially, China is currently at about 1.5%, but estimates put it higher. And that doesn't give us the second largest military in the world.
You're also ignoring how Canada has specifically not turned to the US for the latest NORAD spending. So how are we subjugating ourselves to them?
The devil (or God) is testing them. Resist! No need to test those who rely on science, they already failed.
Well, a part of me just wants to watch the world burn, and this and posts like it sate that desire. It's also a good reminder to use Voyager's tags so I remember this guy if we cross paths again.
