Be prepared for the onslaught of hate from the kinja moral masses who hate all things vape! Lending emotional support before the bashing starts.
Given some of your language describing other humans in this post, I think you likely got the day karma planned for you. Google ableism, then rethink your post.
Esther, I hope you’re so shamed over all the righteous indignation in this comment section. How dare a blog writer in America have a different take than the moral masses! I’m particularly fired up over the comments that insult and shame you, and all vapers. Preach on, kinja community!
Cigarettes had a powerful lobby that vape companies don’t. Outside of Juul, the majority of businesses are mom and pop owned shops. Vapes are easier to target.
I starred it for balancing my brain chemistry. https://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/Nicotine_It_may_have_a_good_side
Co-signed on dopamine. As a person who has bipolar disorder, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder, nicotine is quite literally a lifesaver for me. Things really reared their ugly head for me when I had quit smoking cold turkey after 15 years, as I should have, when pregnant with my son. I went 5 years without…
So was on a roadtrip with a friend, out in the middle of nowheresville. We had to desperately pee, so stopped at the only place in sight, a very dingy dirty gas station with an even grosser bathroom. As she was hovering over the pot about to let loose, I just casually dropped “You know, crabs can jump 3 feet.” Her…
Thanks for this review! My relationship with Sims 4 is on again/off again. I have a huge list of expansion packs that I haven’t bought because of this. But this one sounds like something the game needed, a culture that is more than just aesthetic. It makes me wish for a culture chooser in build-a-sim mode. I’ve been…
There’s not a damn thing wrong with stimming! I’m always a bit amused when I see the tools that we’ve used for sensory and self-regulation hitting the mainstream. Weighted blankets, fidget spinners, yoga balls (now in many mainstream classrooms!) Sensory activities help loads of people, not just autistic, and I’m glad…
This, this, this. I’ve been one of those autism moms who’s frequented forums and disputed claims and shown the science to others for about a decade now. The discussions always end with how severely autistic my son is compared to their “recovered” children. It doesn’t matter if their children started out moderately…
I’m very sorry for what you went through and the lack of justice. It’s sadly all too common. I was by no means dismissing abuse.
That’s great, except for the dick ob! Just ugh with the overly recommending episiotomies! That is a problem.
You’re probably a new mom now! So if you check in, I’d like to see an update about the baby! I followed these comments, and thought to come back and check!
I think Mittens just looks constipated.
Not to mention, that he was earning near a billion dollars a year, how much of the agreement was for her to take less of the money?
I read the entire wapo story. He claimed a few problematic things, one that he stayed at work to avoid her when she was raving and abusive, and that he knew she was emotionally unstable. The other is her documented arrests. He was 3000 miles away from his kids knowing she was unstable in the first place, and according…
Really poor headline, as Shanahan was never found himself to be violent. He is still a shitbag, but call him a shitbag on the right grounds. Everyone is of course entitled to guess or not if the wife saying he hit her means he’s absolutely hit her, but to put it in a headline is crap. He left his kids to be with a…
Rant away, I agree with you. Overall was my bad choice of wording. It ended positive, but then again who reads to the end? I remember most of the comments on that buzzfield article were bashing buzzfeed because it had positive conclusions, therefore they framed it negative when it really wasn’t. Sounded like the…
Of course they were owned, most bought as speculation and abandoned.
