He's abusing the law, it's obviously not designed for a 30 plus year old to have a relationship with a 16 year old.

While it's not "technically" underage rape, let's be honest it basically is. No normal person thinks it's acceptable for some in there 30s to have a relationship with a 16 year old.

The law is there to protect say an 18 year old in collage, where it's common for 16-18 year olds to be in the same classes, not for creepy 30+ year olds.

I'm a long term vaper as well but I'm going to be honest I do get the appeal of the disposables. Ludicrous regulation has made proper vapes so ridiculously annoying to use for an average person that it's no wonder people just turn to the easiest option.

The 2ml tank cap and having to mix your own nicotine are both annoying and impractical. There's also been a marked decline in the quality of coils and the tanks themselves since that law came into affect, with no actual benefits.

I had to switch to an RDA tank because the terrible coils on offer now were costing me a fortune, I'd gone from using 1 every couple of weeks to having to change them every two days. I've tried tons of different tanks and coils but it seems like it's just a fundamental design flaw, 2ml of juice just isn't enough to keep the coils wet if you use a decent mod.

RDA tanks are fine if you work from home like I do but it leaks all over my handbag when I go anywhere, so if you don't work at home it's just not a good solution.

I kind of agree with OP to a degree. I did 10 years of retail (mostly in small local shops where I could help influence how stuff was run) and now run my own business, which is essentially retail. So I've experienced 100s of Karens over the years.

Their endless and stupid complaints in a lot of cases have helped me simplify process for the thickos, make information as dumbed down as possible and helped me clarify things that I assumed anyone with half a brain would just know. It's also given me the opportunity to learn how to deal with completely unreasonable people, which is a really useful skill to have in life.

The Karens help anyone with average and above intelligence see the world through the eyes of people who are completely ignorant, they allow you to see "issues" that no normal person would ever consider and help try and mitigate the Karen complaints before they even begin.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not excusing their behaviour and I get incredibly frustrated every time I have to deal with one, but you can learn lessons from these people in a lot of cases that'll make your life easier if you have managers/owners who are willing to listen.

Not the person you replied to but personally I'd like to see some kind of random communities feature so I can discover new ones.

Most of the stuff I see is memes or US politics that I'm just not interested in.

Is this currently working for you? I've followed every step and it just get stuck on installing forever.

It's the YouTube algorithm that's pushing this garbage and it's blatantly obvious, the actual adverts largely line up with my interests. If I don't watch a YouTuber for a couple of weeks they disappear from my reccommed. I never watch anything about American politics, barely watch any American YouTubers yet there it is every single time without fail.

YouTube is absolutely dreadful for it. I have literally zero interest in American politics, I'm interested in world events but frankly couldn't care less about another country's domestic politics yet it's pushed almost every time I load the site.

I mostly watch things like travel vlogs and trip reports, yet get endless spam about right wing American politics. There's nothing in my search history that would suggest I'd care about it.

When I was at school the uniform was just a basic pull over jumper, polo shirt and skirt/trousers. They were pretty effective at getting you caught if you decided to bunk off, like I did during PE and RE.

The uniform kids have to wear these days, which is basically a full on suit looks so uncomfortable, especially in the summer.
