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
Holy crap, how did I miss this
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken defended Israel’s military actions Friday, saying they were not retaliatory but rather defensive.

Me too, it's completely insane
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!!"
Just leave bro! Trust us™
Israel's military on Friday called for all civilians of Gaza City, more than 1 million people, to relocate south within 24 hours, as it amassed tanks near the Gaza Strip ahead of an expected ground invasion.

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
Yeah, scratch a centrist and a fascist bleeds
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.
I've sort of been worried about this at my new software dev position but I work at a small enough company that I think as long as I get results they don't give a single shit, but it's still in the back of my mind
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
