If there were only only Walmart and target and those were the only two brick and mortar stores in the country and Walmart refused to cooperate, then there would be antitrust concerns.

anti-trust is anytime you abuse your market position to influence the market. Walmart has has numerous antitrust lawsuits in the past and this is despite the fact they have tons of competition (though their scale gives them an unfair advantage).

Hard to argue Tesla at fault when clearly the driver was impaired and at fault here.

Really happy with sync on my chromebook. I use iOS nowadays and wasn't expecting to enjoy using sync as an android app on chromebook?

It's not a competition of what is more or less harmful. I agree that they're both worse than marijuana. I don't see reasonable argument for pretending there are no risk though. As you know, we throughly awknowledge the risk of tobacco and alcholol. I think going back to caffiene is fair though. Most people they know there are risk to caffiene and they know that having too much of it can cause issues. Warning or awknowledment of risk isn't to sway convince people not to do something, it's to give them informormation to make an informed decision.

here's the two options to present:

  1. weed is a healthy plant. it helps people manage cancer and fixed my grandmas glaucoma. Alcohol is worse. There's no hangover or drawback to weed. (this is legitimatly how weed is often portrayed).

vs

  1. weed is drug with reletively uncommon and relatively minor side-effects. Most people experiece eurhoria or relaxation with consumption. Marijuana may be helpful for alleviating cancer or chemotherapy symptoms or and may help with other specific conditions. A small percentage of users exerperience anxiety, panic attacks, or pycological dependence with usage.

The point I am trying to make is that it's not harmless. There's positives and negatives. I just know a lot people(and have seen people argue online) who can't stop talking about the positives and act like there's literally no risk. It has risks.

They're not extreme or anything that means it should be banned but there is risk. To argue otherwise would be disingenuous. I think people are either being deliberately disingenuous, or maybe they literally don't know that there is potential risk with marijuana use.

At least with caffeine I would approach it with caution similar to marijuana. Dosages above 300 mg/day are shown to have negative health effects. In general it is fine. Marijuana is also generally safe, but can have negative effects if you take too much or use too often.

People rarely refer to theanine as a drug. It's more of a dietary supplement (food). It's an amino acid.

I feel like the pendulum of how safe or dangerous weed is has spun back in the opposite direction. At the end of the day weed is a drug. There's worse things out there's but it's not harmless. I know potheads who look at it like it's another green leafy vegetable that also cures cancer.

Edit: I just realized this is the science community. This article is not science. It's news or maybe an editorial. There's plenty of legit studies to post if we want to have this discussion.

Just so you know, the buttons are redundent. You can swipe left out right on the comment depending on what you're trying to do. I think the button should disappear though at the end.

I understand but the concern but your device is reporting the location anonymously and you are not tied to the report.

It only notifies you if the air tag is without ite owner. If this wasn't the case I'd be getting notifications left and right for my wife's airtag. Instead I only get notifications when her phone is left behind but her tag is with me.
