Never.
There. OP done and answered.
Got it, loud and clear. Acknowledged yet again. Mea culpa culpa culpa culpa.
I will leave it to someone else to open a FQ thread if ultra-processed foods are unhealthy. I’m not touching that with a 10’ pole.
Atticus Finch answered this definitively over 60 years ago.
That’s not what I asked. I asked if you’d go into a thread (or wanted to post but held your tongue) asking for suggestions for route planning on a motorcycle road trip to tell people they were idiots for riding motorcycles – or at least the motorcycles are unsafe and they should consider not riding them. I thought it was far enough from the food issue to perhaps not peg your personal biases so hard while also being almost perfectly analogous to lecturing people about food in a thread dedicated to finding/comparing/discussing the specifics of some unhealthy food the person was enjoying.
Anyway, that’s fine, you don’t have to reply if you don’t want. I’m not trying to pull contrition out of you, I was trying to make an analogy I thought might help you understand.
You did ask about helmets. Sorry if I didn’t address all your questions or points. I’m not going to line item them. I got it. I really got this point. Not sure how I can express it more. I started expressing that in my earliest responses. My nose has been shoved in the proverbial shit. Do you desire to shove my snout into it one more time?
I’ve learned a lot posting this question. A lot.
You could quit answering. There are those in life and on this board who will keep banging their drums.
I believe some people get a rarified tickle to keep coming up with different ways to ask you over and over and to defend their oh, so clearly correct veiw on anything, ad nauseam.
You did exactly the right thing. Ask first. I see nothing wrong in that.
To the various folks upthread who’ve asked “When do we ever bad habit scold around here?” …
I’ll point out that in the “Lost $2000 on Friday at the casino” thread one hell of a lot of people basically accused that OP of being a gambling addict. And repeatedly badgered him about whether he in fact knew how much money he must have been losing through his terrible habit. Over and over and over and over.
This board absolutely can be full of scolding busybodies. It seems our community standard has carved out a safe space for bad diets and obesity, but not for too many other vices.
The truth is that almost everyone engages in self-destructive things all the time. As most people know by now, I think the majority of modern life is destructive to human physical, emotional, and moral health. My child tells me my custom tee shirt should read “why do people even DO that?”
The reasons are legion. Poverty, convenience, physical addiction, no good modeling, peer pressure, adrenaline fix, pride, sloth, gluttony, envy, anger, lust, greed, hate, delusion.
If kindly-meant advice caused people to change for the better, then opining would be an act of mercy. But it doesn’t. It doesn’t ever. So all it does is cause you to feel self-righteous and them to feel irritation at you. No positive outcome. So don’t.
Bet my Tommy’s-style chili dog thread inspired the OP! The copycat chili condiment recipe was so good that I bought some more burger to make another batch and will use it to top some chili size.
As long as you have it with beers and a Winston and then go for a drive you’ll be good. Ref @Ulfreida’s wise points, four wrongs have to add up to something good! 
ETA: Is there a casino near you?
Nah, I’m guessing the Jimmy Dean hash browns one.
I just want to point out that in the OP, you were essentially asking if it would be alright for you to be yet another voice that someone has to listen to telling them something they already know. That first “I GET IT” response came about an hour after you asked for advice. Imagine how people feel after a lifetime of hearing unsolicited ‘advice’.
These unsolicited advice threads remind me of walking around a grocery store with baby. I was surprised at how often people would march right up to me to tell me what I should or shouldn’t be feeding her.
I bet half the board now has “You don’t win friends with salad!” playing in their heads.
Well… they do manage to reproduce, so they must have some friends.
O.T. and possibly TMI asked for, but how do vegans.. uhm… deal with oral sex?
I didn’t participate in that thread but, as I recall, the story in the OP was someone who has made “I’m a gambler” his board persona complaining about how he lost a substantial amount of money by being mentally unable to stop playing a slot machine he was just sure would pay off even to the point of intentionally getting more money to play it beyond his initial limits.
If someone posted the same general thing in basically any other context, I’d assume people would have still tried to convince the OP to moderate their behavior, including if I was to post all the time about my eating then one day lament how I felt unable to stop (even after vomiting), I gained a large amount of weight, my clothes don’t fit and I can’t climb stairs without needing a rest but I intended to keep on the same path.
On the other hand, if I just posted “Hey, what casino games are the most fun or interactive?” I doubt I’d get much flack. Someone recently made a thread asking about an experience they had at the casino (and why the dealer didn’t intervene) and, while I didn’t follow it to the end, I don’t remember people piling on about the fact he was in a casino.
Nailed it!
The interesting thing to me is that we still hang around here. Then I realize, there aren’t as many as there used to be. Hmm.
If someone’s promoting the “eat high fat and extra sugar” diet for its purported health benefits, by all means speak up.
On the other hand, if a poster says how much they like a good baklava with ice cream once in awhile:
Yep.
No, not them either.
