And yet somehow a mandate worked for seatbelts. The people who politicised basic safety measures between then and now have blood on their hands.

You’ve just described Hexbear. :b

We’re not talking about 40-somethings who can’t get off of cigarettes, we’re talking about teenagers who are starting to smoke/vape because they think it’s cool.

And your attitude really could use some improvement, you’re coming across as a colossal, condescending dick.

Is it? Because if you thought I meant “it’s better to just smoke” then you’ve misinterpreted me, I meant “neither is a good idea”. If that was ambiguous then I apologise.

The judgement on vaping is still out. It’s not been around for long enough to know what health effects it’ll have in the long-term, but since you’re still inhaling things your lungs just aren’t made to inhale I expect that it will have a negative impact on health.

The current system is entirely sustainable. It does need reforms, but a regulated market economy combined with strong social welfare programmes is the best economic system we’ve come up with so far, by a very large margin. Planned economies were attempted, they universally failed.

Correct, all diminutives are neuter in German. In this instance the base word is die Magd (historically the maiden, nowadays the maid), which is grammatically female.

Which they technically didn’t. I’m sure Nvidia has a legal team that vetted their solution, they certainly have the money for it. At this point the “protection” against the proprietary driver is just anti-consumer.

31, Germany, I can’t drive at all. City kid.

I’d assume that fucking it up is the goal. Some people are just irredeemable sociopaths who get satisfaction out of ruining other people’s days.
