(Also tobacco companies are complicit in deforestation and cigarette butts kill birds)

Healthy radium cigarettes

This one was inspired by a tweet I saw a few years ago, something along the lines of “machine learning is the radium salts of the twenty-first century”. This joke is more relevant than ever; corporations are trying to squeeze “AI” into every role imaginable, no matter that it’s mostly useless and often harmful.

In my later teens (from 1988-1990), I sold #cigarettes from a kiosk in front entrance of a #supermarket. It was best paid Saturday job I ever had (paid more than normal supermarket staff and it was hard for a teen to get - you had to be good at arithmetic and trustworthy (no barcode scanners on till, everything entered manually!)

I probably helped kill a fuckton of people and also smoked regularly myself, but didn't care as I was still young.
