It’s always upsetting no matter what but the biggest upset is when people do this to their children when they’re not even religious, which is common in the US and South Korea. I don’t think some parents realise how abnormal it is.

This will get repeated until it’s the year 2080 when it becomes doubtless. I still see the claim that vaping “fills your lungs with water” when VG/PG produced vapour draws moisture away, the complete opposite.

People will create a black market for them, but it will be really small and die out.
There’s already a black market for tobacco, and it will just grow in size not shrink. You can buy 50g for like £5 on DNMs.
I don’t like being unknowingly associated with something or anything that could get me into trouble in the future. I have no idea what will happen during my lifetime and it doesn’t even have to be from the government of my home country.
stretch (verb)
to make your body or your arms and legs straight so that they are as long as possible, in order to exercise the joints (= place where two bones are connected) after you have been in the same place or position for a long time

stretch (idiom)

Also worth pointing out the demand isn’t to dissolve the oil and gas industry over night - but to suspend all new licensing and expansion of the industry which in this case… is 1) something the UK should be doing anyway to meet their climate commitments and 2) not that radical or unreasonable
The majority of trips taken in the US in cars is 3 miles or less, completely walkable/cycleable/public-transportation-able. I don’t think anyone would say no one should drive 41 miles in order to go to work, but it doesn’t mean regional and local infrastructure especially in urban areas shouldn’t aim towards these goals because that is where the bulk of ALL general vehicle traffic is.
These two things are not incompatible. In fact, it would benefit those who do drive because everyone doesn’t need to drive for many of their trips, and won’t because there are accessible and attractive alternatives.
There are moments in Outer Wilds that left me grinning like a child. It hits at that same time of wonder I felt playing ocarina of time when I was very young
