Society doesn’t treat men as sex objects in quite the same way it does with women. It happens to some extent, sure, but not nearly as great an extent. It’s the dehumanising aspect that’s the problem, not the portrayal of sexy characters per se.

I’m sitting here vaping honey flavour. I’m not ending up smelling like an ashtray, my fingers aren’t nicotine stained, how is this not already sexier than the original thing?

No, it’s an aerosol. Nothing is combusted therefore there is no smoke. Now, I can see why it’s annoying to have “vapour” blown at you, which is why I vape just like I used to smoke - I’ll purposely exhale away from people, and in an indoor environment I’ll ask anyone else present if they mind if I vape. But no, it is…

Studies have so fair failed to show any discernible ill effects of “second hand vapour”. There is a tiny amount of nicotine in it, yes, but the dose makes the poison.

Nobody who’s knowledgeable about vaping claims that it’s harmless water vapour. It’s actually harmless propylene glycol and/or vegetable glycerine “vapour”. Technically it’s not even a vapour, but an aerosol. It’s certainly douchey to vape in an inconsiderate manner, but it’s not douchey to vape in a manner respectful…

How is this a reason not to vape, rather than a reason not to use unsafe lithium batteries? Is the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 a reason not to use mobile phones?

Given the game engine’s ability to create all sorts of creatures through procedural generation, and the quadrillions of planets... what happens when a creature is inevitably found that’s almost identical to an existing trademark/copyright protected character, like a planet of Kirbys or Mickey... Mice(?), will there be…

Chemical testing though nowadays generally just means putting a single drop on a paper strip. If the strip changes to a specific colour, the chemical in question is present. I’d be kind of surprised if school cops didn’t already have such a testing kit for various drugs easily available to them, even if I wouldn’t…

We need a total and complete shutdown of purple people entering the US, until we can figure out what’s going on.

It stimulates the CNS, which obviously does place extra strain on the heart because it’s a stimulant drug. But hell, I’m prescribed ritalin, so I can’t say I’m massively concerned about the CNS strain from nicotine stimulation. Also, “attacks” really seems far too strong a word for the small amount of extra strain on…

I’m really confused by how irrationally hateful some people are towards vapers. I mean seriously, “douche nozzle”? It’s a safer cigarette replacement, not a fucking fedora.

I think it was the same in the UK, the legal age of being an adult in general (including the ability to be drafted) used to be set at 21, which I find so strange.

Why? I mean, if you make it mandatory that they’re accurately labelled and trust manufacturers not to break that law, then why must we treat all mixtures as containing nicotine? If it’s glycerine and flavourings then it’s glycerine and flavourings... which is an absurd thing to regulate even if you do call it…

According to a 2013 Cancer Research UK report, “The accepted medical position is that while nicotine is highly addictive and comparable to drugs such as heroin or cocaine, it poses little health risks except in certain vulnerable groups”. I mean the report did specify currently regulated NRT methods and didn’t…

The rationale for the drinking age being 21 was always a high incidence of drunk driving existing amongst those aged 18-21. That the small depravation of liberty was worth it for the amount of road fatalities it prevented. This new rationale though... is what, that that can be justified as a precedent to be all…

Vegetable glycerine and/or propylene glycol, food grade flavourings, and nicotine. The minor concerns that are raised aren’t really about knowing what’s in e-cigarette vapour, they’re more about not knowing what the long term effects of inhaling such ingredients are.

The five-and-a-half watt pop-up blue laser that Grant somehow managed to squeeze into the already compact gauntlet is the most powerful model you can legally buy online.

I was about to say... the human body is an absurdly complex and intricate “device” that’s essentially built using super advanced nanotech. Molecule by molecule, in 9 months. This is like a caveman complaining that they can’t rapidly build a skyscraper with some rocks and vines.

Mystery solved, thank you!

...Wait, what’s happening here? What’s the light source, why is it cycling through ROYGBIV, where’s the difference between this and one of those RGB LEDs that’s programmed to do the same sort of cycling (or older lightbulb with spinning coloured translucent disc technology that used to be used for the same sort of…
