Meh, I’ve met plenty of nice French people. I’ve had one French asshole as a coworker, but the other French coworkers agreed he was an asshole. Though honestly I’m Dutch, and the official motto here is “France is a great country except for the French!”.

This is because the “poor” can’t and won’t afford to make every interaction transactional.

Can’t be the leaded gasoline, gen-x grew up on this stuff.

Isn’t MacOs based on BSD in the same vein?

Android?

It depends on the subject. For some things I use search engines, for some things I’ll just google for books or research on the subject matter and obtain pdf’s for those, some stuff on relevant internet fora, and it used to be that youtube had some good info, though lately it’s overrun by AI slop.

That’s the one!

I’m missing Betterhelp, that one really expensive safety razor, and Bambulab for makers.

At this point you should just tell us what message you’re trying to convey, and then we can simply say “you’re right” and be done with it.

There is literally a picture of a vending machine in the article

True. But that picture is like those AI videos on youtube today where the thumbnail doesn’t show up in the video. According to this article, those vending machines were banned in 2004 and the trade in used panties was driven to specialized shops.

Edit:

that was one person, not a pattern of behaviour by the masses Does this count?

It also doesn’t seem to mention vending machines, but specialized shops or online selling. It’s still gross, but it’s also not unthinkable that this could happen in western countries. There was for instance an English internet personality who sold her used bath water a few years ago.

SP probably.

Ofc if all you do is “have fun” and be a sexual hedonist you’ll never find out what a real connection between two human beings is, all you know is how a body feels like, so hopefully you date for love and long term monogamy and not just look for fun because your peers are doing it too and you feel excluded. With that line of thinking you could defend doing crack! And, just btw, being a thot is not a necessary part of human development, lol.

This part, if you’re not monogamous (or at least strive to be) you’re a thot and might as well do crack. Who are you to infringe your values on someone else, someone you don’t even know?

Wow, that’s a lot of judgement on a sunday morning, you didn’t go to church yet?

Some examples I’ve seen recently:

1. Guy was sceduled for cardiac catheterization in four days because he wasn’t feeling well (he had a history with heart failure). Still drank seven bottles of beer at a birthday party.
2. Long haul truck driver brings a tray of beer to work so he can drink a few after work when away from home.
3. On a city trip a guy brought beer back to his room so he had something to drink there, even though he was attending bars when not in his room.

You could always ask AI to complete it…

To the point that it compares with asbestos, radiation and tobacco.

This is kind of ambiguous; it’s in the IARC group 1, which indeed includes asbestos and radiation. It also includes a lot of other things, like therapeutical hormones, many viruses and bacteria, being a firefighter, leather dust, being a painter, processed meat, wood dust, plutonium, vinyl chloride and outdoor air pollution.

I bought a used super-oem player years ago for €100. They’re more for DJ’s I think, but the quality and maintainability is great and spare parts are abundant.
