If I interpret this correctly he may have not lost his thumb. Which is a huge positive obviously.
You're quite late to the conversation, and responding to the top level. It's been discussed and determined that even factoring in recidivism, it doesn't do enough to impact the results in a meaningful way. We already know what recidivism rates are in the US (about .6, which is shockingly high!), and factoring it in doesn't make a significant difference.
What do you mean? A high rate of recividism demonstrates you were right to suspect this study is flawed. Also undocumented immigrants are more difficult to catch and therefore arrest and convict. I think it might be your narrative that's getting in the way. The idea that undocumented immigrants are significantly more law abiding than the very similar demographic of legal immigrants is a bit nonsensical I think.
I have a handful of friends that smoke cigarettes under 35. That's it. I personally didn't try a cigarette until I was 23 or so because those campaigns were effective and there was nobody except the 'sketch kids' that would smoke. I had one puff tobacco a little bit before that because a local farmer friend cured some of theirs and rolled a cigar-thing with other herbs.
Smoking cigs is less common for this generation. Weed on the other hand...
Smoking is much more strongly correlated with socio economic class than with age. In the UK anyway. If you are not in the lowest deciles your friends like you probably won't smoke.
As someone that grew up working class, there are fewer new smokers than previous generations. Again, it's around a handful of my friends that actively smoke cigarettes.
I honestly see the well-to-do university students from Asia smoking more than I see my hometown highschool peers (that still live there and are factory/tradespeople mostly) smoking. The shame game was strong when people brought up that they had a cigarette as kids.
Perhaps class was the wrong word. Status would have been better. Fewer people smoke now than they used to in all age ranges but as you might expect young people have the most new smokers. As older people give up there is no one in their demographic to replace them by starting. Counterintuitively smoking is most common in the unemployed along with manual workers. Anyway having looked it up now in England smoking prevalence is actually higher in people under 35 than older people which I admit surprised me a bit. https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/statistics-on-smoking/statistics-on-smoking-england-2019/part-3-smoking-patterns-in-adults-copy
Used to be a firefighter but you're going to have multiple teams checking different places plus the teams fighting the fire and ventilating etc. It's hard to communicate this info quickly. Realistically if it is safe to do so all the rooms get checked
And what does a firefighter regard as safe during a fire?
I don't think sexual assaults/harassment is done by opportunistic criminals, especially when it happens in their own homes. For the few cases where a stranger (non family member) is involved, there is usually a pre-existing relation (teacher, gym instructor, doctor, nurse, whatever). Even when a relation doesn't exist, it usually starts with stalking / voyeuring.
I agree that it does not seem a super effective idea to protect kids (maybe infants). I was not supporting that.
I think there are plenty of rapes and sexual assaults that are not associated with family. The majority I imagine. I agree that most are perpetrated by someone the victim knows or at least has met before.

She looked like his Mum even back then!
She was only 41!
I know. I wonder if they saw much of each other as the years passed by.
You should definitely buy one from them. Maybe they'd even let you have one if they knew.
What the actual fuck. Maybe you should think about removing that before it is read by that person. Highly insensitive.
Empire bad. Shhh.
