  • I'm not invested in this topic argument. I was just interested in highlighting your logical fallacy.

    Critical thinking and logic has been on a decline in modern societies, and I believe it's important to point it out so that hopefully people learn to refine their beliefs/illogical thinking tendencies.

    I'm sure you can make logical points in an argument advocating for farming in the desert. But that doesn't change the fact that your previous argument explicitly used a logical fallacy and therefore is invalid.

    Again, I'm not interested in debating this subject, so you'd be wasting your time trying to convince me of your perspective. I was just trying to help you improve your arguments/promote logical thinking.

  • One of his recent defenses centered around that word "intend." He believed that by specifically stating "intend" it doesn't mean he will/has to do it, as he merely "intends" to. He argued that he can "intend" to do something at one point, but later change his mind, and he believes this is a legal loophole. It's not..

    That defense has fallen flat.. But it's worth pointing out because in his deluded mind, he believes that allows him to violate all of his contracts/agreements.

    I guarantee that's the situation here with Maralago being his residence.

  • I remember a time when searching reddit on Google would barely produce any relevant results, and no one I knew was familiar with the platform.

    It takes time. Lemmy is still very new. Search engines have begun combing lemmy. Name recognition doesn't happen overnight.

  • You can look at my comment above.

    BHO extracted products and ones that use additional terpenes for flavor/as a diluent agent should be avoided. This does not only apply to black market/vitamin E acetate containing carts. This very much includes mainstream carts available on the shelves of dispensaries.

  • If you're vaping BHO extracted products/products with added terpenes, then you are doing damage to your lungs. Dry herb vaping and live rosin excluded.

    You have to be so careful with the extraction methods and diluent agents when it comes to vaping concentrates (that includes regulated vape carts--not just black market carts).

    [Cannabis] extracts are not diluted in propylene glycol or glycerol like nicotine due to their hydrophobic properties. Instead, various forms of oils including vegetable oils, terpenes, and tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E acetate) have been reported as diluents. In most reported cases of EVALI, additional flavoring additives are also added to products.

    Although many of these diluent agents and flavorings have been “generally recognized as safe” for oral ingestion by the FDA, recent research shows that when heated to form an aerosol and inhaled, conditions including bronchitis, bronchiolitis, acute hypoxic respiratory distress, lipoid-associated pneumonia, and pneumonitis may result. [1]

    The terpenes used in vape carts to dilute and reintroduce flavor and aroma (which is lost in some extraction methods, like BHO) also produces harmful byproducts when vaped. [2]

    Another problem with cheap vape pens and e-cigs is the cheap atomizers/coils used. There have been confirmed cases of these coils/atomizers leeching heavy metals into the vapor produced.[3]

    It's always important to consider the risk-mitigation approach, but a lot of people don't comprehend that not all vaping concentrates/methods are equal, and some should absolutely be avoided.

  • Important to note that the population of the study all had a history of cardiovascular health issues, and were not representative of the rest of the population.

    Also important to note is the failure to assess a distinction between combustion and non-combustion consumption.

    Combusting marijuana results in particulates, carcinogens [1], lack of oxygen, and off-gasses benzene. [2] These are very important factors to control for, and this distinction was not addressed at all.

    Definitely in need of further studies on the topic. This is an interesting area to explore, but this study falls a little flat in addressing any causation.

  • Even if BPM is affected by non-combustion, it doesn't mean the carcinogens, particulates, lack of oxygen, and benzene from combustion couldn't play a key role in the cardiovascular health problems in the studies.

  • Maybe he was a redditor who watched as every subreddit became an r/AdviceAnimals and r/funny clone, where relevant discussion was buried under the same lame ass jokes on every post.

    When morons posted r/funny material in r/nonononoyes, but were too ignorant to understand how that was a problem, this example was usually helpful:

    Do you think it's okay for r/wtf material to be posted in r/awww or r/EyeBleach? If r/TheOnion posts were posted in r/WorldNews?

    There exist different communities for a reason. This is so obvious it's painful to imagine how some people can't grasp such a simple concept.

    Why should the boundaries of the two different communities with different purposes errode? Because of laziness? Stupidity? What's the point of even having communities if people just post the wrong content?

    When you're at a grocery store, are you one of the jackasses who decides "Actually, I don't want this steak" and just set it on some random unrefriderated shelf in the wrong section?

    This is the type of bad user behavior that turned reddit to shit.

  • Ha, I don't give a shit about downvotes. Let's not bring the lame karma obsession of reddit here.

    I'm not a fan of repetitive memes and circle-jerking. My blocked communities list is like 50% shit-posting communities and 50% anime communities.

    I will also say I was being tongue-in-cheek with my other comment, but I guess everyone is too easily offended. No skin off my nuts nads tho.

  • I 100% agree with you. I was downvoted a lot of times years ago saying about as much on reddit. I like the iron-sights and some mechanics of NV that 3 didn't have, but the storyline in 3 was so much better.

    In 3, there was a tremendous core story that you played a pivotal role in and had a grand sense of purpose. But in NV, you're just a random courrier doing random tasks and just kinda meandering around for "revenge" which comes and goes pretty anticlimacticly. And then you get to decide which factions to support in a battle that's going to happen regardless.

    In NV, it feels more like the player character is a side-character in the main story's plot. In Fallout 3, you were the main plot.
