Gambling should only be legal in specific locations (casinos, horse tracks, maybe cruises). No more lotteries, scratchers, phone apps, sports gambling, gas station slot machines, websites, nothing. And those places have to have crises centers to help addicts.

There is a strain of weird, puritan moralising around certain serious health issues like addiction, dentistry and obesity, that needs to be dispensed with if we're going to fix them.

It should be illegal for radio adverts to include car horns, sirens, or anything else that might cause a driver to look around.

I definitely feel more than a little scorn people who just leave their bikeshare or scooters in the MIDDLE of a sidewalk or somewhere else that is inconvenient for literally everyone passing by but the rider.

I don’t know if this is niche, but I’m a mom and I think that those little plastic toys for birthday/holiday gift bags are consumerist trash that everyone throws away. I only do edible treats for my kids.

People need to understand that "I don't like this" and "this isn't good" are different things. Everyone has their own tastes. I dislike lots of things that are good because they're just not the kind of thing I enjoy.
