Crazy, ain’t it? I’m pretty consistently amazed at the poor media literacy I find on Lemmy.

Israel is obviously perpetuating a genocide.

That being said, this source is not reliable due to obvious bias and/or being propaganda. When you see something like that you look for other sources that are fact based and dry.

It’s weird, I see the same behaviours and fanaticism on Lemmy that I saw from Qs and f right wing nuts. Just coming from the left now. Fucking facts are getting hard to discern.

AP telling the same story. Looked like Reuters was, as well, at a quick glance. So I guess this is confirmed.

What a terrible thing.

Crazy. That’s effectively prohibition, and we all know what that does to black and grey markets.

I have given up on trying to fight my nicotine addiction. Vape with homemade liquid because I’m cheap and I want to know what’s in it. Smoke pipes and occasionally a cigar as I really love tobacco. May grow my own tobacco at some point just to play with it. (From the US)

Anyhow, potato vines contain useful amounts of nicotine that can be extracted and used in e-liquid. Atomizers can be easily made from nichrome wire. If you can’t get it direct, guitar strings can be a source of wire after burn off. Vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol are easy to get anywhere.

Holy shit! At that point, you could probably turn a profit growing shitty tobacco in a greenhouse and selling it black market.

US made things that are the best or in a small group of the best:

Hand tools, power tools, machine tools, alloys, plastics, clothing/footwear, hardware, firearms, whiskey, porn, movies/shows, glass/ceramics, camping/outdoor, and all sorts of luxury items.

Affordability is a different issue. There are usually options that are good enough and cheaper.

You may already know this, but is commonly taught by evangelical fundy Protestants that Catholicism isn’t Christianity. It is considered a polytheistic cult due to the praying to and veneration of saints. By these group’s definition: Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses are not Christians.

Me? I think they all suck, but, I was raised by the fundies.
