There's little evidence of pure nicotine being carcinogenic afaik. Nicotine in tobacco is carcinogenic due to certain reactions with other chemicals in the tobacco plant

Yeah I'm so sick of the "women and children" thing. It's so blatantly misogynistic and helps construct the idea that every man in a warzone can be considered a combatant

It literally just feels like a guise so that when humans rights groups or the international community raise questions about it they can be like, "But we warned them!!"

I think the issue is that they fear giving workers too much freedom. With that newfound freedom, they may start realizing that they can demand more

Damn France and Macron are really leaning into the authoritarianism lately

Metroid is based! The first one I played all the way through was Metroid Prime 3, but have also played much of Prime 1 (not the remaster) and more recently played Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid II with a color mod, and Super Metroid. Super Metroid is one of the best games I've ever played, it's truly incredible, though in a way Metroid II might be my second favorite 2D Metroid I've played so far.

I was playing Metroid Prime on my Steam Deck but haven't picked up for a few months and sort of questioning if I should play the remaster or continue with my current save file on my Steam Deck. As far as 2D, I intend on playing Metroid Fusion next, and then Dread.

Posing this on a whim since I tend to be a lurker on Reddit, but I am really struggling to get into Lemmy. Part of it is that I'm used to lurking but now we all have to put a little more work into not lurking in order to start to get the content we want, but also I have yet to find the sort of shitposting content I guess I'm looking for. Maybe that's for the best, not really sure. I'm sure I will get used to it if I commit, but I really need some more communities that'll really capture me

Sorry for the rambly post, really just putting this out there in a communal spirit
