There isn’t anything inherently wrong with stealing if you need to, but in our society, you’ve done some things that are socially unacceptable. However, you can’t change the past so don’t worry about it. People do dumb shit when they’re young. You can only change your behavior to better yourself and your neighbors in the future. Be better tomorrow than you were today.

It’s definitely photoshopped, but I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be.

Edit: based on the post title, it’s probably supposed to be the demon core.

Yes, but this replaces the right control key iirc

When I say that they don’t relieve stress, please understand what I mean.

The net stress received from smoking cigarettes is greater than an individual’s short term benefits. Your health will suffer. Your friends and family will suffer. You are modeling to those around you that smoking is acceptable. “Do as I say and not as I do” is not convincing to everyone because we are social creatures who learn by observation.

Smoking also does not provide any tools to properly manage anxiety or any other types of stress. It does not teach you to tolerate your feelings and work through them. Cigarettes are chemically addictive- your body is stressed when it feels the chemical desire for a cigarette. You crave it. It feels good to use it. It entices you to use more. It rewires your brain to think “I feel something. I need it to change. A cigarette will make me feel what I need.” The more someone uses cigarettes, the more dependent they become and the harder it is to quit.

This is not a DARE or Reefer Madness bit. I am calling out the harm it causes to society. When a show uses suicide as a topic, they typically have a disclaimer and the phone number (800-950-626 in the US) of the suicide hotline. I believe this is important because if someone sees a potentially life ending/ruining topic, they need to be made aware of their options and provided with the facts. In the same vein, if someone is spreading misinformation, fake news, lies, it is important to call them out.

We live in a society, and it is the duty of each individual in our society to look out for one another. If even one person reads my comment and thinks “hmm, this guy took this lighthearted topic seriously for some reason. I wonder why”, I’ve done my job.

That is neat!

Is it true that in Spanish, the word "propaganda" can be used interchangeably with "publicidad," which means advertising?

It depends on where the magnets are located, but I agree it’s an engineering consideration.

Also, using magnets instead of rails does mean that if you drop your switch, the joycons will go flying.

If it doesn’t have hall effect sticks, they aren’t paying attention.

Apple could have done the same thing with the EU. Either don’t put USB-C on their phones, or cease doing business in those countries.

Advertisements should be considered harassment.

Keep in mind that using things like ublock and noscript make you stand out like a sore thumb for fingerprinting. I’m definitely NOT saying you shouldn’t use them, just spreading awareness.

 

And I’m still confused.
