If we are suddenly concerned with genocide, there’s much bigger (and legitimate) fish to fry in the world currently.

“I want to be able to use my expensive hardware for the reason I purchased it in the first place” seems like a pretty solid argument to me.

I’m sure there’s a way to do that, but I would let the recipient work out that problem.

These need to be handed out in every state that no longer allows you to the front page.

We know. It sucks.

Appreciate you finding the one thing I wanted to know from the article.

Just a bit of light invasion.

I keep my old phones instead of throwing them away. They become music players in the house/garage. My pixel 7 pro definitely has garbage speakers compared to a pixel 3, or an old Samsung note (can’t remember the Gen). It’s a stat I didn’t even bother looking at, since we seemed to have hammered it out years ago. It’s akin to asking if a new car has electric Windows.

I wish I would have checked.

Such a good time killer!

Hopefully. Let’s get back to that.

No VR support at launch. That’s a shame.

Playing devil’s advocate here, there’s a couple issues with that. First, an empty spot in the pack means it will crush more easily in someone’s pocket, during shipping, etc. Second, like you mentioned, those things are smelly garbage once they’ve been used. A lot of smokers aren’t going to make the rest of their pack taste and smell like that, or carry that smell with them all day long. Also, it doesn’t address the issue that these single use, disposable things are made with plastic in the first place.

I get it, smoking is bad. The world is slowly transiting away from it. But this right here is the most common sense approach. This is a manufacturing issue. Even if cotton weren’t suitable for whatever reason, there’s got to be another alternative. Stopping people from smoking is a separate issue that will take years to accomplish, and various approaches could be used to make progress there. In the meantime, let’s just not make them from plastic.

This was the final straw for me at Reddit as well. Happy to be here now! Still trying to learn the ropes.
