I’ve reported so many fake accounts and accounts promoting right wing violence or blatant racist and every single time they send a report back saying the account/comment doesn’t violate any rules.

One used Nike shoe - size 13 - $40
Used Nike shoe. Left foot only. Mild grass stains and small hole in sole that can be easily repaired. Cash only. No low ballers.

SOTYUKU sounds like one of those shitty Amazon product listings that’s just reselling shit bought from Alibaba/AliExpress.

And now they’re showing locked episodes, which drives me up the fucking wall. Seems to only be with all the podcasts that SirusXM is buying up as of late, which unfortunately make up a good chunk of what I listen to.
- Comment on From 4chan to the White House: James Ball explains how failing to take games seriously has fed the populist right 4 weeks ago:
I’d argue that this is a symptom, not the cause.
The real issue is that these guys are what most people would call “losers” who sit at home, isolated, playing video games and browsing the internet all day. The right noticed this and targeted them specifically with a bunch of propaganda telling them that it’s not their fault they’re losers, it’s the fault of the left, women, and immigrants.
I used to game with two guys who fall into this category, and over time, their language got more harsh and militant until I couldn’t take it anymore. They always had someone to blame like “SJWs” for their own personal decision to sit at home all day rather than work on their shortcomings. They expected attractive women to want then even though they’d do absolutely nothing to make themselves attractive to others. They’d have wild opinions on far-flung groups that they never actually interacted with personally since they’d cut themselves off from the real world. I saw Steve Bannon’s tactics playing out in real time in their words.

I wouldn’t question interior space based on the height of the car. I’m also 6’3" and have comfortably driven Geo Metros and Mini Coopers while being cramped in 4Runners and Tacomas

Same problem here with size 13. Most stores maybe have a couple available in my size so I mostly just wear Nike since they consistently have my size available.

- Comment on Lithium-ion battery waste fires are increasing, and vapes are a big part of it 1 month ago:
Imagine that, your previous images were pulled from an article claiming these are being sold in Thailand by Chinese companies just like I thought, so your argument is that vapes should be banned in the US because of what may or may not be happening in Thailand?
or the illusion that your country is the only one in the world.
How convenient for you and your argument since that means you only need to find one example of a bad thing happening in the world and can then apply that bad example to millions of other unrelated products sold elsewhere in the world. What happened to your argument claiming that these were being stopped by US Customs? That so quickly morphed into “it doesn’t matter if these products were actually shipped and sold here because Thailand!”
Your other article, from the rag that is the Daily Mail, claims that Squid Games is a children’s TV show, and only lists one western company receiving a notice (which they incorrectly called a “Canadian” company rather than a California based company in true Daily Mail fashion) for having a vape that resembles a banana. How convincing since we all know how crazy and insaitiable children get when they see something that slightly resembles a banana. They gotta have it!
I’m not going to discuss …
Didn’t you already say that when you claimed you “didn’t get those images from a quick Google search” and “wouldn’t bother to verify the legitimacy of these products” even though you just now claimed to do a quick Google search to find the very articles that your images came from? Why such inconsistencies?
- Comment on Lithium-ion battery waste fires are increasing, and vapes are a big part of it 1 month ago:
You aren’t going to look for them because you just grabbed whatever image you found from a Google search and have no clue what you’re even talking about.
If these even exist, the only reason why a black market would exist for vapes is because of the idiotic bans that created it by killing the legitimate market further proving my point. Furthermore your argument that they’re “stopped at customs” contradicts your previous argument that they’re being marketed and sold to kids since they aren’t being sold at all.
- Comment on Lithium-ion battery waste fires are increasing, and vapes are a big part of it 1 month ago:
How convenient that none of the manufacturer or product names are listed for any of these devices except the “Moti Pop” which appears to be a black market disposable from China. It’s almost as if someone just either fabricated a bunch of items or cherry picked a bunch of already illegal devices in order to push the FUD angle. Can you provide any listings or images showing that any of these were ever sold in a vape shop anywhere in the western world because I’ve been vaping for 13 years now and have never once seen anything even remotely resembling anything like these sold in any store. It’s just more bullshit propaganda.
- Comment on Lithium-ion battery waste fires are increasing, and vapes are a big part of it 1 month ago:
This is literally the argument they used and it’s complete bullshit propaganda. Can you elaborate in detail on what makes it “toy shaped?” Do you consume fruit and or fruit-flavored things as an adult? I’m surprised you didn’t also mention “bright colors” as another draw being so appealing to children as well. I guess I never got the memo as an adult that I should only be consuming and enjoying drab colored, unflavored oatmeal for all my meals as color and flavor are no longer appealing to me.
I suppose I should be forced to smoke cancer-causing cigarettes produced by big tobacco for my crime of enjoying nicotine and flavors as an adult all so some shitty parents can be absolved of their duty as parents. While we’re at it let’s also ban things like D&D and rock music because those lure children into worshipping the devil which leads to things like talking back and human sacrifice.

I’ve been vaping since around 2012 and ran through a ton of disappointing eGo clones and mods and got a GeekVape Zeus about a year or two ago and it’s been rock solid. It is a dual battery but that just means it lasts a day or more depending on how often you’re using it.
- Comment on Lithium-ion battery waste fires are increasing, and vapes are a big part of it 1 month ago:
They literally only exist because of all the government regulations that decimated the industry “because of the children.”

Well, I hadn’t seen that mentioned anywhere, so if that’s the case I agree it’s not a big deal to pack your trash back to the cafe.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 2 months ago:
I can see taking things that I brought with me like granola bar wrappers and water bottles, but if you have a cafe selling cheeseburgers, fountain drinks, and coffee, it seems dumb to expect people to carry all that home rather than allowing them to throw it away at the same place they bought and consumed it.

- Comment on Receipt checkers trigger me 2 months ago:
Walmart receipt checkers infuriate me but Costco receipt checkers do not because Walmart is a predatory shithole while Costco is the opposite of that. It’s the same reason why I don’t give a shit if people steal from Walmart.
