The editorializing on “smoking is bad” is moot—we all know it and it’s not the point.

I realize that but I was following that author’s other posts and they just seem into restricting the rights of everyone to prevent disorderly conduct. So where does it stop??

It was a “throwaway” so I suppose I shouldn’t expect actual discourse.

It was front page shit for two days, sorry. I think others explained it well enough but I still insist that it was perfectly relevant.

I can only assume that this is a 3rd rail of sorts for “Western” types who seem to be 100% anti-Iran lately, even though I remember about half a decade ago the same sorts of people were pro-Iran when it came to giving back their money that would eventually be used to fund terrorism, but would love to take Russia’s money for doing the same thing.

Never forget that Biden fistbumped MbS.

Why don’t we just ban drinking altogether then? And while we’re at it, if you’re irritated about something perhaps just keep it to yourself. Society doesn’t have time for discontent or deviation from the norm.

Good lord.

I can still see the Iran flag in all of its unaltered glory here in the US. I guess they missed the memo?

Sure, that's "old-fashioned" as a friend once told me (who was a Rhodes scholar.) At the two universities I've attended, the B.S. in physics required more rigor and the B.A. offered more breadth and didn't require as many courses starting in "PHY". I'm guessing it's an American thing too.

Sorry but if you put 10% of your net worth into BlockFi you didn't fully understand the risks. I feel bad for anyone who lost money (a few grand here) but this was all akin to a trip to the casino for me and my expectations were set accordingly.
