Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said it, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

TOTAL! BS!

(Snark on full) the lovely people have spoken and wallyworld has pulled ALL vape products from their stock. I mean, why not? A handful of people have died due to use of those products, “we have to keep public health standards” and yet,

AND YET,

There are cartons and cartons of cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, dip and chew, right there as well. Products “known by the State of California ” to cause all sorts of health issues and terminal diseases.

So, you pull the one product that helps people quit a habit, but provide a source for the habit they want to quit. (Snark off) There are ads on u-tube drumming against vaping, and I’d be completely unsurprised if certain big tobacco wasn’t involved in the creation of such. Public issues with one of the product lines was traced back to the fact that they wouldn’t sell out to one of the big names, and as soon as they did, ‘public outcry’ against them ceased.

This begs the question: How much of our social media is actual manipulation by corporate types to herd the people in a direction of the corporate types choosing? How much is state sanctioned manipulation to keep said herd in check?

Rhetorically asked; how legit is what we see and hear now?

    Only that which you personally observe in your own meatspace and can replicate.
    All else is questionable…

      Advice I wish more would take: “Question everything”. Far to many feel that ‘the media said it, why would they lie’ and carry on. We both know they will lie to sway public opinion and do so unapologetically and with bigger deeper lies until they are satisfied. And people still fall for it. It gets very frustrating to me.
