the internet speed increase has nothing to do with any legislation, but rather advance in technology

[@kineticdeath]

that knowles guy put his head on the internet telling americans he would prefer to live in a date and time where there is no united states. I mean there wasnt a president either, just a king

[@danmc_2783]

The King of England was a 12 year old too lol. Not to mention the Fifth Crusade and Genghis Khan's campaign in Central Asia. Great times to be alive, I'm sure

[@geogeo4139]

[@danmc_2783]

@@geogeo4139 Nah, the King of England was a 12 year old in 1220, so he'd be far more intellectually mature than tRump

[@rb-pk8ds]

As a voting American / Australian, i dont mind at all that Biden has been stingy with the press interviews. He's been getting stuff done, and current day press interviews or White House Press corp events are NOT as infirmative or easy to listen to as they were "before TFG". There is shouting and accusations and just plain attention whoring completely drowning out what could be a useful information exchange. I LIKE that he's just getting stuff done and anyone paying attention knows what is going on. Your 2 examples were a bit cringeworthy, but i'm thinking thats why you picked them. So while we are staring down the gullet of a potential return of TFG i'm just going to appreciate the vibe of some solid getting stuff done and hope for a Blue landslide.

[@blackout07blue]

That is not a big change to Marijuana laws. We still get arrested for it and taken to jail in most states, especially the 25+ Republican states.

At least he found courage again..🍻

[@yeah.cheers]

So the Dr guest said John's question was "racist" (whether menthol cigarette use among black people has a historical or cultural reasoning), but then herself went on to explain the historical reasoning.... Ridiculous.

[@mcviper270]

"leading expert in the role of race in tobacco industry inequalities" ... sounds legit

[@Albot940]

Lmao I thought the same thing. Like wait what?

[@tmuxor]

She is a professor of African American studies, so calling white people racist is part of her job description.

[@sloppynyuszi]

I don’t get this either. Is it not ok to ask why something is racist, when there isn’t anything clearly derogatory happening?

[@atari947]

Yes i thought she was rather rude to the host. He was asking about common arguments.

[@lucy.loves.travel]

"Oh America" 😂

[@DuckReach432]

The last Trump/Biden debate was pretty messy. Trump wanted to own the room by constant interruptions whilst Biden was speaking. I can't imagine he'll back off next time.

[@triabunna]

i am currently a 22 year long smoker, trying to cut back/ quit. I smoke menthol's. Please just ban tobacco.

[@wisdom1224]

7:38 highly recommend to do charts like this on a logarithmic scale. Else 2020-2024 looks better than 2016-2020

[@samburke5789]

7:42 I care. It's sad to see the current trend of Australian media/news personalities who don't care or openly advocate for less access to freedom of information and free speech. It's kind of disgusting, to be honest.

[@thidang6247]

I'm pretty sure in this context Chas is refering to whether or not it is a hot topic issue for the american voters, and not a personal indifference

[@braytongoodall2169]

Menthol cigarettes are slightly more damaging in terms of exposure, as far as I know, but only slightly. The difference in damage is due to usage patterns (breathing deeper, as mentioned on the show, and smoking more of them). I think you could justify a health intervention with cigarettes, however targeting menthol cigarettes is essentially targeting the most enjoyable type of cigarettes (for those that enjoy menthols). A compromise to a ban would be a tax (or a rate limit like 1 menthol pack a month, though this would have weak compliance in general and difficulty being enforced). However there'd likely be heavy pushback against tax introduction since it would open the door for future tobacco taxes/

[@jh5401]

The Menthol Cigarettes interview was very interesting. The speaker very deftly spoke about racism in cigarettes and spoke in a way that brings ignorant people along beautifully

[@lesleyghostdragon3149]

"1220"? Really? Apparently there's no know in Knowles.

Hi Lesley, just letting you know I read your comment and I really enjoyed it. 👍Keep yourself safe.

A question is a question, Search for truth. It cannot be racist. That DR needs to be educated properly. I'm guessing that she has a racial bias herself.

Funny how Americans don't care or know anything about Australian politics but Australians follow our politics

[@kineticdeath]

US politics impacts the whole world, australia not so much. Being a smaller player has its perks though

[@Albot940]

Well we are all living on Planet America. What America does impacts us, is it really that surprising? And there's the bonus that the shitshow is fun to watch.

[@shanewall4470]

For me, it's because US politics is a helluva hit comedy show!

19:53 you meant to say the bright ages Artwork from mediaeval times are brighter than the Renaissance

[@BassLiberators]

It's called the dark ages because comparatively little is known about it next to the eras before and after it. Not because of the style of artwork.

Good episode. Looking like Trump gonna win so we just have to hope the US doesn’t fall apart for the next four years. He’s weak and indecisive on strategic & geopolitical concerns. He just does whatever the last person he spoke to says.

[@BassLiberators]

Biden was ahead by 0.1% in the last aggregated polls.

[@intoxxau]

The absolute irony of an ABC show saying USA banning ciggies would be a good policy 🤣

[@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax]

Why is that.

[@intoxxau]

@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax We are the luddites of the world when it comes to tobacco harm reduction, massively outpaced by NZ & Europe in flow-on impact to public health outcomes, despite tobacco being mostly legal to grow yourself in those places. Our current tobacco policy is prohibition via a consumption tax, which has resulted in the advent of chop chop and violent gang crime over a newly established black market. It's an absolute shitshow

[@phoenixmodellingphotography]

I don't understand your surprise about Trump saying something humorous? 🤔 Extremely bizarre comment because the guy's always been known for having a great sense of humour, in fact it's one of his defining personality traits and one of the only good things I can say about him. Makes it hard to trust your opinion reporting altogether when you don't even know the first thing about the presidential nominee and most talked about person in the world currently

[@Squashed8Ball]

People laugh at Trump, not at his jokes. There is a big difference.

[@Kangaroo-Bob]

It was actually clever. He's normally just abusive

[@AZ2PM]

Trump's " always been known for having a great sense of humour"? No he hasn't. Not in his early days, not in his casino days, not in his Apprentice days, not in his presidential days. Trumps persona has never been witty or comedic, it's been blunt and brash. Those two things tend to not be funny to most people.
