+1 for quitting smoking with a vape. It was startlingly easy to do by lowering the nicotine content over the course of a few months.

...shielding the very people who have built our most dystopian technologies from feeling the impact of their use.

Both safe injection sites and e-cigarettes are part of harm reduction strategies though. And e-cigs are the thing getting banned in SF while normal cigarettes are perfectly legal.

Same here! Also a 23 year ex-smoker. Three years on ecigs, gradually lowered my nicotine, now i'm at almost nothing. 

You can get 0 mg juice. Technically, it’s just flavor, water, and vegetable glycerine. 

Me too, man-- I smoked for 23 years and COULD NOT quit for anything. Vaping is what finally let me get free of the smokes, and I haven’t had a cigarette in almost two years now. :)

I smoked cigarettes for over 30 years and switched to e-cigs for about 3 years and now I’m completely smoke free.  e-cigs is a way to quit if someone actually wants to quit.  You can slowly lower the nicotine until you no longer crave it.  Many people are addicted to the act of smoking, I still reach for my…

It’s the same problem with all partial smoking/vaping “bans”, no matter which side of the coin you’re on. They’re completely unenforceable unless it’s 100% on everything.

Great. Now how am I supposed to look cool?

This great response

This has become too easy of an out for Warriors fans. If they win without KD and Klay, the level of boastful pride is going to burn this country to the ground.  If they lose, they have an automatic out and will apply an asterisk to this championship.  We all lose. 

By the way, thank you for your service on the beaches of Normandy, 75 percent of a century ago today.

I will laugh and cheer the day Trump finally rides in a funeral home limousine 

Well, only if you believe there’s justice in the world.

Henry’s reason was that Cromwell set him up with Anne of Cleves, a total 4.

But Jekyll’s not “the good guy”. Jekyll is the guy who wanted to get credit for being the good guy, while still getting away with all the evil stuff he secretly wanted to do, so he created the potion so he could just turn into Hyde whenever he wanted to and be an utter shit. As a description of a politician who wants…

the correct joke is “if you want to run, you can’t Hyde”

It’s been a good week of self-owns. Here in this piece comparing Trump to Henry VIII, Steve Bannon compares himself to a guy who gets his head chopped off.

she's clearly a moron. being rich has never made anyone smart.

Oh my fucking god, the responses to that CSPAN tweet are horrid. Just putrid shit. I am so thankful I am not on Twitter.
