I think this is a big one.

Church separate from state is only a suggestion apparently

That's not only a modern day problem.

Misinformation has always been so rife that probably about 90% of what you think you know about the middle ages is entirely backwards, for instance. (People lived way longer in 1300 than in 1920, for instance; and women ruled empires under their own authority.)

That’s why I’m glad it’s banned in my country

I don’t think people are « willingly ingesting » those, they’re just hard to avoid nowadays

Beyond the health and environmental concerns, it just tastes bad. Really. Where I live it is not commonly used, and today I threw out 2/3 of a drink that contained HFCS because it was undrinkably sweet (it was an import I didn't realise contained it until I tasted). You don't realise how bad it is until you have a chance to taste how good sweet things are without it.

and you aren't even a hamster

The picture is of Jocelyn Wildenstein and cosmetic surgery and denial caused her problems not Botox, although I agree Botox is extremely poisonous.

many work 6-7 days a week and have no home. our system as it currently operates is simply not sustainable.

People who film concerts and don't just watch it are the same people who compere their lives to others

I work in a high school...this is a HUGE problem for our youth.

I have heard of athletes who fill the bottles with water to keep the sponsors happy... Tells you everything you need to know about drinking them for sports.

THIS! I HATE OUTRAGE! /s

Don’t forget the (proven) cancer causing nitrates in so many processed meats. Bacon, ham, hot dogs, etc.

This is literally my problem

Not sure why people commenting CNN, MSNBC, ect are getting down voted. ALL mainstream news media are paid off by corporations to help or hide different stories, all push an agenda based on their political leanings, and care more about money than news. At this point it isn't conspiracy because it's completely out in the open. Down vote me too if you want, but I think it's worth examining all news outlets to better understand the ways they work to control and manipulate us.

Some are true. Epstein didn’t kill himself, there’s no way Lee Harvey Oswald worked alone, etc

Yes, I have given up cigarettes but I now have COPD, which is my fault.

You can beat it, I believe in you!! (I started smoking at 15, now I'm 30 and haven't touched a cigarette in 3 years so far!)

Just about the only vice I never picked up. Tried just didn’t take.

But isn't there a way to get the nicotine kick without smoking? Like the gum? Or patch?

I was severely addicted to Diet Pepsi. Toxic chemicals bad for your body, bad for your teeth. Been off it almost 30 days now. Yay.

Try substituting nicotine pouches. Yes, still getting nicotine, but, you stop inhaling cigarettes as much. It's helped me a lot

Ya think?

No probably about it :(

It is killing you

Same

Flush it from your system. I used Golden Seal, but I was not on any medications that might also be flushed. Don't use more than a couple weeks without a break... say a week or two. Get doctor advice... I'm just an old hippie, not an old physician.

I know a couple people tried Chantrix and it screwed them up for a month after they quit the pill

Golden Seal helped me flush nicotine from my body, which eliminated craving. It took about 10 days to break *habit of smoking after meals, while driving, or at computer. Shouldn't use GS more than a couple weeks without a break. It's pretty efficient. Talk to your doctor, though. Mine recommended it.

It’s not as much the nicotine, but the combustion. Nicotine is a natural ingredient and found in quite a few fruits and veggies. Nicotine is similar to caffeine, as it’s a stimulant. That’s what gets you hooked. Even vaping can cause harm by using propylene glycol. Although it is used to keep the air clean in hospital settings, inhaling large amounts often can be harmful. That said, cigarettes and vapes are probably killing me too. It’s a hard habit to stop.

Groundhog post

Glitch in the matrix? This was #19 and #20... and had the same responses for both!

Same here, tried to quit my vape many times and can't , it's so hard :(

Can anyone give any advice on curbing/beating sugar addiction? I don’t drink sweet drinks but I’m seriously addicted to sweets and chocolate. TIA

That one is true. The combination of liquid sugar (often high fructose), caffeine and phosphorus acid is detrimental to your health. Empty calories that cause blood sugar spikes, insulin desensitization, fatty liver, obesity, tooth decay, attention deficits and a host of other problems. Source: I'm an actual MD

I'm what most people would describe as an optimist and the constant negativity of others is killing me. I Dont want to spend ym life thinking about how s**t everything is, I want to talk about that time I saw a woodpecker in the woods, or how cute my friend's cat is.

I recently introduced my daughter(5) to “YouTube Kids”. There are some really good aspects to this, she has learned so much already. BUT I have noticed a real decrease in her attention span when watching any other format. The ability to just skip/scan for other content the moment there is a lull in a video is a small but significant side effect. Films have become really difficult to watch all of a sudden… I can’t imagine what short format would do to her! 😬 (I am aware I sound like an old bastard saying “back in my day!” But honestly it’s a real problem)

It's banned in the UK, as one of the Southampton six. Xenon is right, but we are also seeing lots of natural alternatives now.

If you watched it 24 hours straight, that would be toxic. However, not all of us have 9-to-5 jobs, so having the opportunity to watch when convenient for you is not toxic. Also, fake news is toxic regardless of the time of day.

please be easier on yourselves & others. we are all being manipulated beyond belief to think the faults lie within ourselves. you are perfect as you are!

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO ME AND VALIDATE ME! *jumps up and down waving both arms*

Yeah, better to lay down in bed 😉

Nah, they're useful. The problems with them relate to the social media apps on them, which others on this channel have commented on. I suggest you just uninstall the social media apps. The smartphone itself is useful. For example, I really appreciate the GPS apps because I can avoid traffic and reduce my carbon footprint by not unnecessarily sitting in stationary traffic.
