Disposable extinguishers have to be replaced every 10 years or so. Used or not.

Rechargeable ones need internal service every 5 or 6 years depending on model, but with proper maintenance they can last indefinitely, but doing that costs money.

The picture really allows for some quite astute plausible deniability regarding his dry testicles for sale.

Yeah, it seems like a totally unnecessary move.

There is video of him being removed/taken away by others. He certainly was not crushed.

In that link, they refer to it as:

"The 1989 political turmoil and subsidence."

That is a really weird way to call a massacre, don't you think?

Please we all know that the Government hides the search results in China if you look for it. Or are you going to deny that?


Like, why lie?

Also, you are quite correct.

I go out of my way to not use any MS product. Thank god for Linux and Foss apps.

This is such absolute cope that lacks real world nuance.. The problem with social media is the nature of social media in the aggregate. Specially for younger minds. That is not to say that it will not affect adults as well.

Social media is addictive period, and how some of them interact against the human condition. Making it not privately owned would not fix this. Say the government owning it, or having extreme control over it, mostly devolves into a tool of control and surveillance. As it can be demonstrated in some countries.

it is true that social media is made way more addictive due to incentiviing profit, you are correct there. But for example, studies show that despite the addictive nature of platforms like Instagram, girls self's worth gets utterly destroyed by merely using the app, over time. Addiction not required.

A little bit of column A and a little bit of column B.

It has been proven that social media damages teeneagers's development and self-worth. Or anyone here is going to attempt to deny this?

Either parents get way, way, way better at managing this or someone else has to do it.
