Well actually ;-) both tobacco and alcohol are pretty strictly controlled and also banned for under 18s in my country. On viral suppose it is more that I only see who I follow, not someone else's post that got popular by others.

The vulnerable adults seem to be forgotten about - it's not just under 16s that have serious issues with social media. Maybe the viral algorithms are what need to be banned, for everyone's sanity. It's those algorithms that boost fake news and misiformation to everyone.

So tourism obviously not a concern for that municipality... enough income from other sources obviously.

"The Federal Aviation Administration last month issued a warning to US aircraft urging them to “exercise caution” when in Venezuelan airspace" - what would a foreign country's military be doing in another country's airspace?

Problem is everyone hears about the one or tow big winners, but never the millions that are losing every day. Would be great if we stop publishing the jackpot totals as well as winners. Just publish amount squandered per day.

The adults are the problem, and it is also the many vulnerable adults that should have been protected. But despite that, there are so many good alternative social media platforms, if anyone cares to move off the mainstream.

Always wondered what would happen if we, the citizens, were to ensure equal cover by hovering our drones outside the houses of parliament, police stations, etc to ensure our civil servants are safe and working hard ;-)

Imagine real-time fact checkers for all politicians - we'd all have a good laugh

And what when rural voters get better informed too...?

That cannot be called democracy

Just like 6G he has no clue what peace talks are actually about. It is certainly not just sitting at a table and showing off a signature. His Russia/Ukraine "efforts" indicate too he does not understand what the war is about.

Yet the "Church" could identify 10,000's of witches in the middle ages. A lot of this just breaks down all the Church supposedly stands for and starts to bring home that it all seems very human, and not godly.

It goes to show with all the world agencies etc, a country can actually do as they please. There seems to be no consequences for the USA, Russia, not Israel. It's all words.

I used to buy from River Valley Trading for smaller quantities, had imported bulk from Amazon, but now finding the R14 from Clicks pretty good (not overly sharp) - see my page at gadgeteer.co.za/myotherinter...

Worst is it used to be these superpowers providing weapons instead of food to these countries
