They just straight up lie. Law are pretty lax back then. You can have patent medicine and say whatever your medicine can do. You know, snake oil, and similar stuff like that.
But why take on debt to go on expensive vacation?
Yeah it is like Chinese students got to learn history, and how communist party have given th bright future
What the ruck i just reading.
Now they can't ads cigarette anymore. But others industries, they still lie on their ads, until they got caught.
I just pay attention to the full text after read this comment.
Well, Camel advice us to smoke while waiting for next dish.
I did try in real life. No good. Smoking then eating make the taste of food go bad. You got to brush your teeth after smoking if you want to taste food again.
But let cat eat human food is not healthy. Cat is carnivorous. If you let cat eat bread, noodle, rice, ... staple food that people eat for carbohydrates, your cat will have digestive problem. Raw meat or raw fish is good enough for cat. Don't buy preprocessing cat food.
Can anyone post more about this kind of stamp ? I want to see more.
Back then, they ads sport gun as it was real gun.
Nowadays, they ads real gun as it is toy.
The language in the ads is so strange yet so nobles and beautiful that I have no idea what they are describing.
What the hell is "toasting" ? How it make cig less harsh
Opss, sorry I just post a new tobacco ads.
Velvet tobacco - 1939
The leaves (brown stuff) to put in your pipe or roll your own cigarettes.
They even have flavour.
Ohhh, good old day when tobacco ads is not banned.
As modern day, we know that no filter actually help with cigarettes.
Just quit smoking.
So how is this game ? Is it worth downloading?
They have invested a lot in branding, now they got to claim it back.
Moreover, a high retail price make that bag valuable.
More text to read.
Cool man.
@[email protected] you might want to read this too.
Wow, someone just realize it.
We cannot lower carbon emissions if we keep producing steel with fossil fuels.
Are mass layoffs and hiring become a trend today in big corp world ?
Just my opinion.
I work in the industry for about 10 years.
At time when I began my career, every year, especially after new year, people collect their end year bonus, then quit, seeking job at another tech company, usually at higher pay rate (a jump in salary), for new graduated, the jump is high, usually 20% to 50%. It always happen every year.
But in recent 2-3 year, thing look bad. Corp layoff at end of year (with parting package instead of end year bonus), and people looking for job at the beginning of new year. Ahhh, something more, those who are layoff usually don't get pay rise at their new post like old day.
Maybe the corp have found the way to turn the bargain in their favor.
What do you think.
What if life is a roguelike game ?
What if when we die, we respawn, as another human, or even, another species.
Each life, from birth to death is a roguelike run.
Weew, if it too difficult, will you reset for new run :v ? Just kidding. But also, I know that modern roguelike game have something to make you stronger, and inherited into new run, on and on. Kind of permanent upgrades.
So, perhaps, if this run too hard, endure it. Which will make you "get-gud", and hope for some useful bonus, permanent upgrades for further runs.

I am keep losing my computer mouse (wireless) and feel anxiety to purchase more mouse. How should I help myself ?
I buy 2-3 wireless mouse online once a while. Then when I lose 1-2 mouse, I feel the 'need' to buy more mouse, and I do place order online waiting days, weeks for mouses to ship to me.
And I keep losing them.
I mean, my cat doesn't eat them, and mices don't go anywhere. But I keep losing, and feel anxiety when lose them.
Firmament - We are trap underwater, deep, very deep down
The concept of the Firmament Solid dome dividing the primal waters comes from ancient beliefs about how the world was created. According to these beliefs, there was a time when everything was covered in water. Then, a solid dome called the Firmament was placed above the waters, separating them into two parts - one above and one below. This idea helped people explain why there is sky above us and why it doesn't mix with the water on Earth.
How to start on freelancer while also keeping a full-time job ?

How do I start on finding freelancer job ?
How can you help someone escape a cult-like real estate group?
He have good full time job as software engineering (5 years experience).
He begin side hustle. He join a real estate agency. (which seem unreasonable because he should work in IT industry side hustle, which he have 5 years experience) But most of the time he taking class, and post picture of class on social media.
I am worries. It feel like a cult.
A friend offer me a investment opportunity at 15% annually, is it too good to be true ?
He was my coworker. I know him at work for years. It is unlikely he take money and run away.
He ask me a loan to scale up his business, promised to pay 15% annually.
His work is in manufactures industry, maybe B2B. He said he his business don't depend on number of customer available. I don't know. I am a salary man. I know nothing about business and investment.
I haven't ask him into the detail yet. I know nothing about this type of business. He seem confident, but I feel the 15% is so unlikely that will come with (hidden) risk. Maybe my friend is also a victim of another scam, or he just overconfident.
People of Lemmy, I ask you, those who are investor and business owner: is >= 15% annually ROI possible ?
[draft 1] The Trading Symposium - Where player can get high-end stuff.
Have you ever wondered where players can acquire legendary weapons? From a street vendor? A city shop? Nah. Ward of Armor-piercing Magic Missiles or Legendary Rings of Charming don't appear at city vendors so frequently.
And what about when a player wants to unload their useless but highly rare items? How can a fruit seller afford to pay 50,000 gp for The Golden Skull of Rahul? (Hint: he sold all his children for that)
==================
I add a basic idea and some flavor text.
I took the idea from Chinese novel (xianxia, wuxia) where main hero get his stuff at auction house and secret trading market. High end item should not available on every street vendor :D .
