It took a sinister turn right at the end…

To be clear, when you say doctors endorsed cigarette smoking, a small percentage of doctors were duped into endorsing it and their recommendations boosted by the tobacco industry.
I’ve got my Grandfather’s old copy of The Boy’s Companion published before the date in that meme, and it’s very clear in its message that smoking is bad for you. They’ve known it was harmful to health since at least the 17th century, and tobacco was only brought to Europe in the 16th.
The cunts who sent that mascot to the hospital fucking KNEW. (edit: or at least they would have if they existed, it looks like the whole thing might have been AI generated)

Of all the notions that exist around hypermasculinity, this one is the weirdest.

Then the enshittification kicked in, and now most of what I watch is from bittorrent.
One of my friends is married to a Chinese woman only two years his junior, but because she, like most Asian women, looks a lot younger than her European contemporaries he still gets lots of dirty looks and untoward comments from judgy fucks who think it’s any of their fucking business.

Not even that it doesn’t matter, it’s almost entirely the point. The reason why using ‘females’ as a noun to refer to women is dehumanizing is because it’s a noun we use for animals.
Bees live less than two months, so if only 80% of bees died in the last 8 months that would suggest a sharp recent population increase. And even if you take it as read that it means bees dying and not being replaced, 8 months is still a terrible timeframe to use because it’s literally saying “there are 80% fewer bees now, at the tail end of winter, than there were at the height of bee season”.
I’m not saying there isn’t a bee crisis, just that this factoid is very badly worded.
I’ve noticed a significant drop in people using the phrase “America bad” as a mocking jibe, since it no longer really works as a hyperbolic statement.
There’s numbers for testing CC software.
