What is a “drug” and what isn’t is an arbitrary, made-up distinction. There are only molecules.

Or, a culture that values respect over individualism. To each their own, but to me willingly eating food wrong to belittle a culture isn’t “fun”, it’s just stupid and rude.

None of this is mandatory, the sign says so. They’re social norms, not legal rules. It’s just saying “this is how this food is consumed in its original country, and breaking these norms may result in inadvertently offending someone or embarrassing yourself”, which might be something you’d like to know if you plan to travel to that country, or simply to try experiencing it in the traditional way - after all, most social norms have a hidden logical reason. Many of these exist simply to avoid making a mess.

You’re free to eat however you want, however some cultures do place a lot of significance on food and how it is consumed. People in Italy will lose some respect for you if you try to order a Hawaii pizza, put ketchup on pasta, or use a knife improperly. The same goes for Japan and many other places. You’ll still be served and probably treated with superficial kindness, it just depends on how much weight you put on your experience vs that of others.

So spending money gives you the right to disrespect cultures? Interesting

Who has ever said nicotine is not addictive? Lol

That’s been a thing for a while. Bluetooth ones work too

You do realize that you are not answering in good faith, nor providing anything to this thread with this comment? You’re being one of the people you’re complaining about ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I’m sorry but this comment is just very misinformed.

Why would people not just switch to unflavored vaping instead of smoking? […] Would you not switch to flavorless?

Because there is no such thing as “unflavored vaping”. Just forced flavors.

the flavored ones are tailored towards younger consumers

Also just untrue. I’m an ex smoker, but just can’t stand tobacco flavored liquids, or menthol ones. Some vapers like those, others prefer fruits and cakes. And if you’re already vaping, why wouldn’t you choose what you like best? Especially considering the alternative is cigarettes.

Am I having a stroke or are you?

indicate the absence of select known fungal toxins and compounds such as the hallucinogen psilocybin and cannabinoids.

The article says that the tests say there is no psilocybin.

HTTP/3 is yet another thing, unrelated to both of them. Wikipedia has a disambiguation page for the two meanings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_3.0 https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/04/web-inventor-tim-berners-lee-wants-us-to-ignore-web3.html

Yeah, I’m with you. web3 is the cryptobro blockchain web, while Web 3.0 usually refers to either RFC-based standards or “the state of the modern web” - the post 2.0 era

Web 3.0 ≠ web3
