What if they watched it at a friend’s house?

The article talks about police being able to access encrypted data. More details about that should be made public regarding backdoors.

It also mentions child porn, I’m guessing that was perhaps the thing that caught their attention first.

The amount of nicotine one gets per puff in a vape is greater than a cigarette. As cigarettes are generally being made illegal, big tobacco needs to circumvent the law (which governments usually give multiple years notice to relevant companies). Sadly, using vapes is not giving up cigarette smoking but merely moving addiction from one nicotine method to another. Teens vaping causing a life-long addiction is no different from teens smoking and doing the same.

superficial

You’re right. Cancer is superficial damage. Speaking of which, enjoy your cancer.

I see you’ve been triggered!

lol #3

(It was such a stupid statement, one doesn’t need to).

Something similar happened In China recently. A female author of homoerotic texts was charged for it.

Nicotine isn’t really harmful,

lol #1

Much like caffeine it has some decent properties for focus / cognitive abilities.

lol #2

lobby harder.

People want to ingest a harmful drug and not see that as a threat to their health?

Go buy weed and pay tax. Weed may be made illegal again but not if you buy it…

In other news, weed vapes weren’t studied here.

Do these threats exist in the exhaled smoke? It seems like people around me don’t GAF about the exhaust from vapes.

Great, so m/billionaires get charged 100x more, right. Right?

I’m about to write something that I, with no international politics nor trade education but plenty of opinions shaped by social media, thinks world leaders should take note of.

I live in a country where I’ve heard a 15-16yo Pakistani kid on a packed bus state he was going to kill his sister because he didn’t like who she was dating - and that he had hit her before because of it. I don’t think most people have any idea how normalised it is in their culture. The country is England.

Yep, unfortunately, media have the right to be afraid following the Charlie Hebdo nonsense, here are some examples of criticisng Islam:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_Rushdie - Now Sir. a man who wrote some books Islamists didn’t like. So they threatened to kill him. A fatwa. Multi-million pound bounty and a failed assassination attempt. All because of a book. All through the 80s he was in hiding, covered by the police, paid for by the tax payer. When he emerged from hiding like in the 90s or so, everything had died down and was cool, yes? Nope, he got attacked by a guy with a knife and he lost an eye in 2022 in NY. Read this, it states “a man has been charged”, it (cowardly?) failed to mention that the 24 yo man was a Muslim with ties to Lebanon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabbing_of_Salman_Rushdie
• Charlie Hebdo - a French magazine was raided and people there were shot by two young Muslim men who killed 12 and injured 11. “It published cartoons of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 2012, forcing France to temporarily close embassies and schools in more than 20 countries amid fears of reprisals.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Hebdo_shooting. More Muslim-led violence continued after the Charlie Hebdo raid where jews were targeted and killed. Most of the muslims involved were unfortunately killed (so they think they go to a heaven, full of virgins or something… is that meant to be appealing to young men? - Islam knows how to market itself to an audience of rapist men)
• 2020, A French teacher beheaded for showing his students the Charlie Hebdo cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. Yes, beheaded and disemboweled. Not by the French peasants for a revolution, but by a former 18yo Muslim student who was shown such pictures in a lesson on free speech. https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20211015-france-honours-quiet-hero-teacher-killed-for-showing-prophet-mohammed-cartoon - It was seen as “an attack on the core values drilled by teachers into generations of schoolchildren, including the separation of church and state and the right to blaspheme.”

Yawn. Now talk about Sharia courts and Sharia law, where a woman can be sentenced to death for being raped cheating, female genital mutilation is allowed and generally, women can be sentenced to death given appropriate sentences and outside Muslim men deny Sharia law to outsiders keep the sacred secrets of Islam between themselves.

Media needs to give a new term to the concept of Pakistani “honor”. Governments are afraid to touch it (esp. the UK govt.) with regard to Pakistanis in particular and Islam. Probably for fear of being victims of ‘honor’ killings themselves given recent history.

so theoretically they could make sex bots and train them on… so they perform ‘unflappably’!

This isn’t about age verification. It’s about getting your ID and tying your (probably illegal but yet to be proven) online activity to it. Much like the firewall of China.

All wrapped up nicely in the disguise of “age verification”

Brace yourself, it’s about to go down
