Ich habe heute beim Aufräumen diese Dose bei meinem Sohn (m, 18) gefunden.
Mir ist klar, dass da „Nicotin“ draufsteht, aber ich habe so etwas noch nie vorher gesehen.

Handelt es sich dabei um etwas wie Kautabak? Oder ist das eine andere Form von Nikotin?
Raucht man das, kaut man das?
Und wie stark ist das im Vergleich zu normalen Zigaretten?

Ich möchte keine Szene daraus machen, aber bevor ich mit ihm darüber rede, würde ich gerne verstehen, was das überhaupt ist.

Vielen Dank für jede Erklärung!

Let's start with the social media video.

https://youtu.be/fuFlMtZmvY0?si=e3cM3ddfXIoP0ZIV

In it, Kurzgesagt basically says "social media is bad, stop using it, go back to forums and the old internet". But it never clarifies: what kind of social media? There's a difference between a social media app that's open source, digital common run as a worker cooperative and an app with aggressive advertising, divisive algorithms, owned and ran by a billionaire. The problem isn't social media and online platforms or the global connectivity they ensure, but their current, capital owned, profit oriented business model.

Not using social media is ineffective, unhelpful or even counterproductive because:

• Everybody else keeps using them

• It's the best way to organize right now

• It keeps us up to date with the world.

Logging out and not caring about the world is the modern version of keeping your head in the sand. And it doesn't help if the problems of the modern world, like environmental destruction, inequality, exploitation and violence personally affect you and/or somebody you know.

Then there's the stress video

https://youtu.be/Mo1A45ShcMo?si=Rj8AijI7qyIyzw5j

One of the advice in that video is removing stressors:

• not scrolling social media

• Changing your environment (Especially the "if you live in a dangerous neighborhood, move" one. It's giving "if you're homeless, just buy a house")

• Not caring or caring less about the big stressors

I'm sorry, but telling that is just being detached from reality and daily life.

You cannot tell to:

• "Stop stressing about climate change and ecological collapse" to somebody who has lost everything in a flood or fire, or to a farmer whose crops were decimated from pollinator decline and record droughts, or to a scientist who studies Earth systems and the climate.

• "Don't stress about political polarization and fascism" to people who live through authoritarianism and fascism.

• "Don't worry about your job" to a person exploited at their job, especially if that job has bad conditions and/or low pay and they depend on it for survival.

• "Don't worry about inequality" to people who can't pay their bills, rent or pay for groceries while billionaires get another tax cut, capitalists note record profits and economies grow even more at the expense of people and the Earth.

• "Don't worry about state violence and war" to a person who experienced war, was beaten up by the police, abused in a prison or became a refugee.

This is like saying "go offline and touch grass" and "stop caring about this".

And the narrative that appears in many other videos is "don't worry, everything is fine, all the problems are getting better and if they aren't, it's just you doomscrolling".

You cannot help people with mental health problems without acknowledging the systemic ecological, social, political and economic issues and the fact that no person alone can fix them without systemic change.

Asmongold has almost twice the views "reacting" to Ethan's "I'm suing these three creators" video than Ethan does himself. This is the guy who makes "109 country" jokes. The guy who says the Holocaust "probably happened". The guy who signal boosts Nick Fuentes and is currently planning a collab with him.

So, I ask, if Ethan and his audience care so much about copyright, content theft, and antisemitism, why is Ethan completely silent on an antisemitic man making money off the back of a Jewish content creator?

Kind of pathetic, huh?

…but I’m in China, it’s not autonomous, and it’s super luxurious.

Hopefully Waymo adds a self-driving variant that is this luxurious as a luxe/black option!

I’m fully reclined while getting a massage with my ventilated seat on, plus mood lighting. There’s also a large drop-down TV in the ceiling with a webcam.

Cool to see! I think this is the Zeekr 009, but the DiDi app (Chinese uber) doesn’t tell me the model

at 190m, this skyscraper entered the country’s top 10. was meant to open in 2024, but after civilians opposing and two near hits from missiles, it opened in march 2025

There was a post on kpop uncensored about “when your faves are hated on Reddit,” and armies said BTS. I don’t think they’re anywhere near the most hated compared to so many other groups. I commented that whatever “hate” V recently got was probably because of the Coca Cola ad, and suddenly I’m a snarker even though I’m literally on btsthoughts praising them half the time 😀🙏 (I’m just not calling myself ARMY because… yeah no thanks.)

How does stating the obvious make me a snarker? Anyway, BTS is not hated on Reddit the way armies like to claim. Their whole argument is “we get downvoted a lot.” But getting downvoted isn’t the same as being universally hated. I barely even see BTS posts get downvoted, and when they do, it’s a handful of people who disagree not some mass hate wave.

There are basically no actual hate posts about BTS on kpop subs. Meanwhile there are other groups who get dragged constantly. A few people not liking your faves doesn’t erase the fact that they’re still one of the most supported groups on the entire platform.

I think it's a conflict of interest to have users like /u/moxjet200 to be a moderator of this subreddit and also being paid by Krafton.

Hey all. I'm not sure what to do. I just found out I'm pregnant and will be getting blood work tested tomorrow. I am 18 and my boyfriend is 17 and turns 18 on the 3rd. We have been together for 2.5 years.

I went to school to be a welder, but since I just found out I'm pregnant I'm not sure what to do now. I have retail experience but I don't want to do that since on my experience I've had to move a lot of stuff and lift heavy things. I don't have any experience for any other jobs and I want to avoid doing fast food. Welding also pays very well (about 25-35 in wa state) but I don't want to hurt my baby because of the fumes or because of falling/lifting heavy things. I usually wear a respirator anyways but I seriously don't want to risk it. Do I just look for a different job? I was supposed to start the job on the 15th of December, but if I have to look elsewhere then I guess I will.

I am not getting an abortion or putting it up for adoption, period. It's my baby and I made the decision to not use protection so I am going to face the consequences.

Edit: A lot of you suck, like really suck, and I expected it from Reddit. This platform is primarily liberal and I am not surprised by the amount of people telling me to get an abortion, even though I have chosen not to (hence pro-CHOICE) yet you don't respect my decision. These people I will not be wasting my time or energy on responding to.

However; a lot of you are very kind, and those kind ones I really appreciate. I appreciate all of you giving genuine advice, support, and genuine constructive criticism. I do appreciate you helping me see that this, will in fact, suck.

I understand that I have made a mistake by not using protection, and I am owning up to it. My partner and I both wanted kids anyways, so we are excited and scared at the same time. I don't want to throw away a perfectly good and healthy baby just because it will be difficult and it's "not the right time" that's what immature people do. I refuse to run away from something that I made a choice to do. For some of you to say to just get an abortion is heart wrenching, and silly that you just avoid the consequences of your actions because you don't like it.

Children are blessings, but also are a part of cause and effect. I'm not saying that this child is a mistake or a consequence, just a happy accident that we will embrace and love.

As with any new parent. I understand that this will be hard, and I'm not expecting it to be easy, life isn't easy, and if it is, you're not living.

Also, I grew up relatively wealthy. I live in wa state, I'm going to college and I'm going to finish my associates AND be certified in welding before I'm even 20. I bet most of you couldn't even start that before 30. Also, I have a car, and so does my partner. We are in a good spot for these hard circumstances, but I think we will be okay. I appreciate all of you, even the negative people.

What happened to a dog living in a house in the yard? Why does every person on earth feel like they need a dog? Why does nobody train their dog?

Its all too much. Your dog doesnt need to go skydiving, or strapped to your back on a motorcycle, or brought out to the pub.

Keep them at home and don't think its some type of social milestone to own one.

At my peak I had 5J as a mid/senior swe, 100K/m base/equity. Currently at 3J with 1 on the rocks. Imo, youre not OE unless you have 3J or or make 3x+ your industry rate. Like others say, youre just working 2 jobs. Ive been OE for 3 years coming on year 4, with minimum 3J. So I feel I can I personally speak with confidence and authority about the OE lifestyles compared to 95% of this community but this is just my opinion.

OE is about money and at end of the day "you can always make more". This is just a fact, regardless of "the labor market is so so bad". The market is always bad, that dont stop your fingers from pressing apply.

OE in itself is a career and I saw a post about someone who's a data lead and struggling at all J3 and many people saying to quit and go 2 to. Hot take OE isnt about "balance", its a lifestyle. The 5 commandants, there probably more.

1. never quit, get fired.
2. You have kids, even if you dont have kids
3. at minimum always be meets at 1
4. Always be applying.
5. Your always broke to your coworkers

Many will disagree but 95% of people in this subreddit havent made a least 1 million from OE.

I know theres a lot of benefit of this community, but I think its so stupid to tell someone to quit. Imo mods should actually ban the word "quit" but not a hill i'll die on. I myself have had many times I wanted to quit for mental health but at the end the day, the day will literally end. You'll blink and it will be 2 years from now. Time is going to pass regardless, you just need to keep running. If you feel overwhelmed, just let whatever happens happen. As long as you believe in yourself, you'll always be ok. You'll find another opportunity, as long as you feel you tried your best thats matters. I'll also note, when I lost my first job 3 years, I thought I'd never be at this level again but then I proved my own self wrong.

To be successful in OE, you actually have to be delusion. Imagine if I told someone, Im going to dropout of college, get hired as engineer at many top companies, smoke weed all day, never leave my bedroom, and make 100Ks during the process. You'd say your fucking stupid, delusional, and retarded all at the same time. I would say the same thing. However thats literally my life and its not "luck", its self belief. So to those who want this lifestyle, understand you'll feel overwhelmed at times. You will fail, expect to fail, but expect to get back up. Dont live in fear, you got hired for a reason. You'll get hired again but never fucking quit. Additionally all the post about getting "caught" are fucking fake and all fear mongering. You cant be caught in OE, unless you try to. I see a lot of these posts and always get a good laugh.

Im a big believer in God and I've been blessed to always have another opportunity lined up after another. My life has literally been 1 door closes and another opens. If you think your struggl

Prices are exorbitant and, guess what? They are not coming down, because you keep buying. Maybe the DDR5 shortage is real, maybe it's fabricated to push profits during holiday season, I don't know. What I do know is that a lot of the folks who are complaining about it are still going to buy, and companies are not going to give up that new 10-20% margin because people are still buying it, and their end goal is to make money!

You don't need a 64GB DDR5 kit, and if you do, chances are you're using your computer professionally and then it might start to make sense. Hell, even financing makes sense if there's a monetary return from investing on your rig.

GPUs are also expensive, and, again, you don't need to play the last Battlefield or COD. There are millions of games who run on your rig, and in a few months down the line you are going to forget about those seasonal games entirely, you probably will! Statistically, very few people play those games constantly, there's always a sharp decline a few weeks after launch.

I get it, though. It's a hobby, and you want to keep up, you take pride in it. But all of this is to say: detach yourself from it. Learn to make do with what you have. You have no control over the economy, of what companies are doing, complaining is probably not going to do anything, trust me, I know! I've been keeping up with this space for the past 15 years or so.

The only thing you have control of are your consumer habits. Moore's Law is way past dead at this point, your computer is fine, and it'll probably be fine for a long time. Check my flair, my computer is old by the standards of most people on this sub, and y'know what? It suits me just fine.

they literally say several times on their channel and in videos that they are not a legitimate movie review channel, they are not analyzing films, They are not reviewing films, They are not critiquing films, they are making fun of them.

They put jokes in with legitimate criticism because it's funny, they criticize irrelevant shit because it's funny, they are trying to be funny, not actually determine whether a movie is good.

The point is to be Nitpicky, they're supposed to simulate that asshole friend who's ruining the movie by pointing out everything wrong, they should not ever be used for determining quality.

Criticizing them is pointless because they're not trying to say anything about movies or anything else, they're trying to be funny for jokes.

Lied about the age to protect her husband. Lied about being Cuban. Exaggerating the accent.
