Oh yeah, fuck the medical and care fields entirely, not to mention food preparation and hygiene.
Rather than come in aggressive, why not educate? It's easy to forget that there are genuine needs for disposable items when you don't encounter them every day.
Lol, I did educate, you not liking my tone is a you problem.
Tone is a problem of the one who sets it, and you were unnecessarily rude.
no
No, I’ve absolutely no idea what the issues are with those two sectors. You explained nothing
Reminder to everyone reading this BLOCK THIS USER
Take a look at their post history and how they interact with anyone. It's condescending, vitriolic and pedantic at every turn. I don't wanna see comments like this as they literally just go out looking for arguments. It makes our communities worse and leans into the idea that redditors are pedantic assholes.
If you just block them then they can fester in an argumentative corner with the other cretins. The rest of us can have chill open discussions and actually behave like normal fucking human beings.
I've come across this prat before, literally every single thread that they're in they have to take some stupid brainless position just to be argumentative, for the sake of being argumentative. It's not worth interacting with them, they're not interested in an actual discussion because they don't actually have an opinion, they just want to be awkward.
If there was a thread the sky is blue, they'd probably take the opposite position just to be irritating. They have no opinion of their own.
what are you saying??? how do disposable vapes help with food preparation and hygiene
No, but neither were you saying "disposables vapes shouldn’t exist altogether", you were making an ignorant generalisation about "disposables", and I pointed out that there is significantly more nuance to it that you seem to grasp.
Perhaps in future say what you actually mean.
He is in a thread talking about disposable vapes. It is very easy to grasp that his comment was entirely about vapes. You have somehow taken a huge mental leap, to arrivale at disposable everything.
They literally said disposables shouldn’t exist altogether
I think it's a huge mental leap to pretend they were being nuanced and accurate with their words or to act surprised that someone took their words literally as they presented them.
You're having an argument with an imaginary position rather than asking them to clarify. It's beyond stupid to assume their position when you didn't have enough information to begin with. You're not showing yourself to be as smart as you seem to think you are.
Except they DID have enough information as this entire conversation is taking place under a "UK is considering banning disposable vapes" thread. The "well actually" is strong in this one.
Lmfao, and you lot are throwing a hissy fit because someone pointed out a position you never generally consider and made you uncomfortable.
I'm done here, feel free to continue shouting the defences of your cognitive dissonance in to the void... 👍
Oh so now it's a hissy fit because you don't wanna admit you're being a prick and don't know how to effectively communicate. That's definitely a you problem lol.
You are literally having another imaginary argument where everyone else is cognitively dissonant to your position. I wish I could be this deluded and self aggrandising.
Hey, I think you might need this:

I think you're getting a bit too worked up about pixels on a screen
Ah, yes, the "over sensitive" dismissal, a classic. Gotta make sure you never consider for a second that you might simply need to express yourself more clearly in future.
Good luck with that.
Oh. Was your reading comprehension so bad, you thought he was talking about disposable nappies in a thread about disposable vapes?
Context is important. From the context, the OP was talking just about disposable vapes.
Yes, context is important, and as a disabled person I have the context of seeing people all over the internet call for an end of disposables and single use plastics literally all the time without ever once considering the impact that would have, so yes, context is important, and if they didn't mean disposables shouldn’t exist altogether, they shouldn't have said that. Or at least not be surprised when somebody points out the issues with such a generalisation.
One things for sure - the reddit migration did nothing to improve this community...
Please stay on Reddit, I think your way of communicating is much better suited for over there. Speaking for myself I think you make this community much worse than someone missing a piece of context in a comment.
Bruh you literally just commented on how prisons are slave labour
You well know all disposables should be phased out aswell. They may provide a place in the medical and food fields but we can come up with alternatives given time
One has nothing to do with the other, but I'm glad you got a good stretch this morning!
As a fellow disabled person. Simmer the fuck down.
Their comment was clearly in context of the title, regarding disposable vapes.
And actually, you did nothing to improve this community or comment section.
I'd say have a nice day, but please don't.
As a fellow cripple, you gotta find some chill, my homie.
I think you dropped your magical fedora of pedantry. I hope you don't interact with people in real life this way.
lol, you go ahead ant tell yourself whatever makes you feel better..
No, you were intentionally ignoring the obvious context to score internet points. Either you knew the context and ignored it to be a jerk, or you honestly misinterpreted the context and tripled down when you realized you were wrong.
