I’ve read the comment chain, it just seemed like you were implying that this ban would achieve some kind of beneficial outcome.
It’s fine if I’m wrong, that’s okay. I’ll take that loss. That’s not my point. I just think this ban has no positive effects whatsoever and I’m just hoping people realize that if true.
This ban is on the sale of menthol infused cigarettes. It wouldn’t criminalize smoking menthols and there’s plenty of other ways to infuse cigarettes with menthol or buy a synthetic alternative.
If your point is at all that this prohibition would in any way, shape, or form help fulfill that goal, that is incorrect.
AKA bankrupting the disadvantaged that have developed a drug dependence like a complete tyrant.
Did you know that tobacco is the third most addictive substance on the planet?

Is there someone who solves my subtitle issue?
Yes! Bazarr is specifically made to make this task completely automated. Other people have mentioned Radarr and Sonarr, there’s also prowlarr/jackett for adding uploaders to grab from. I’m using this setup, along with overseerr to handle grab requests, and as soon as I click a button to request media it usually shows up in 10-20 minutes on the server with subtitles. If you’re interested in setting any of this up feel free to DM me!
Alternatively some great folks have been working on something potentially even better that uses Debrid to speed up the time it takes for the media to be on your server: https://lemmy.world/post/6196363
I have barely looked into this and I really couldn’t say anything for sure, but you might be able to use that+Bazarr to accomplish the same thing.
I completely agree. This is not even a subject that I’m particularly educated on and I’m still waiting for a single substantiated defeator for my opinions on the topic to change my mind.
Then you look at the downvotes and you’d think that you missed a comment that disproved your statement(s).
I don’t understand why you have a problem grasping basic concepts. 🤷
Are you okay? You seem to not be able to understand what “no direct data” means.
So you have nothing to support your claims. Got it.
usage rates did not surpass pre-prohibition levels.
How many times do I have to tell you that this is impossible to know based off indirect estimates before you get it? Because this is the third time.
Then where’s your data?
Sure, and I agree that this should be approached with scepticism and not blind bias.
I’m basing this off tobacco being the third most addictive substance on the planet.
Being that dependent on a substance suggests that practical decision-making and rational thinking, such as adding motivation to quit through price, is certainly not going to be the most effective way to reduce dependency while also further harming those that fail to break their dependency.
Edit: Also I just want to point out, again, that I was never referring to tax. From what I saw there’s not enough conclusive data for me to form an opinion one way or the other on the effectiveness of increasing tobacco tax . All of my comments are about this ridiculously assanine ban, or the increased prices that come as a result of this ban.
Thanks for your opinion.
When supply does not meet demand, prices rise.
Thanks for proving my point for me. I appreciate it.
Your link shows an estimate of alcohol consumption during prohibition based on mortality, but there is. Zero. Accurate. Data. of alcohol consumption during the prohibition.
Incorrect. Prohibition decreases supply. Supply and demand have an inverse relationship. This is economics 101.
There exists no accurate data of consumption during prohibition because it was a black market.
Yeah I definitely flubbed the terms, but if you extrapolate what I’m saying it should be obvious I was talking about tobacco. And I feel like the people in this conversation are so eager to hate on me that they’ll just incorrectly use this as evidence that I’m wrong lol
Hooray for your dad, but one anecdotal claim is hardly a proven method.
Okay thanks, but we are talking about tobacco. I understand that I messed up the terminology, but why are you replying this to me and not the one that is denying it?
Edit: Wait…you do know that cigarettes contain tobacco right?
One of the most well-known studies, by Nutt et al. [12] in the UK, ranked tobacco third in dependence, following heroin and cocaine.

You call bullshit on scientific study?
Other people have kind of touched on this already, but clients prioritize connections based on stability and speed so things like seedboxes often get utilized more than your average home client to saturate a downloading connection.
Again, other people have touched on some bottlenecks that can cause this (y’all are good lol), but clients also have a bit of connection overhead that will ultimately affect your maximum upload speed to peers at a varying degree. Here’s some details, if it helps:
