Recovering heroin addict here (1 year clean).

Grammatical genders can be very hard to wrap your head around for those who only know english. Some tend to make more out it than it really is

American media frequently portrays POC as simultaneously sexless and deviant. Asian men are either portrayed as horndog perverts(ala that John Hughes film) or sexually disregarded completely; Asian women are either portrayed as shrill shrewd and sexless or as personality devoid sexbombs(frequently wearing a…

If you think cops in small towns don’t know the repeat offenders / problem people, you’re dead fucking wrong.

Sam’s Eyebrows of Justice decree it!

Go get him!

America is the only first world, technological nation that fails to have a basic human right to health care and socialized medicine as standard. Only in America is health care a privilage and not a right.

A shocking number of Americans would rather be dead &/or bankrupt than have a single cent go to the “moochers”... who are apparently everywhere and are living in squalor like kings.

We can’t even float the idea of switching to metric without ‘Muricans throwing a hissy fit. Of course they’re going to go ballistic about universal coverage.

As an outsider, it just seems so stupid to watch the US struggle with this issue for years. Just suck it up and make everyone get insurance and have the government run essential health services as a non-profit.

They don’t actually care if you get the gun from someone else. They implemented this because they don’t want the PR hit from a “Mass shooter bought his rifles at Wal-Mart/Dick’s” This policy isn’t about trying to stem the tide of mass shootings, it’s about them not wanting to be responsible for one in the court of…

While scootenfruity made me full on belly laugh, it’s definitely pronounced shaw-den-froi-duh.

Just to be clear, Pronunciation Manual is not exactly to be trusted. Take a listen to how they pronounce “Pronunciation Manual”.

This youtube comment made me laugh

I honestly can’t imagine this because the escape books provide me with allows me to tolerate people.

Juuling. Congratulations teens, you now have an addiction. Take it from me, you don’t want this monkey on your back, because it never completely leaves. Ever. 30 years later and it’s still with me. It never leaves completely, you only learn to manage it after gut-wrenching hard emotional work, gallons of tears, and…

I was a pack a day smoker for 25 years, at a local cost to me of about $200 a month at the time I quit.

I use an ejuice high in propylene glycol and low in vegetable glycerin, to reduce the vapor output. I buy unflavored nicotine solution at a strength of 24 mg/mL. I buy my own flavoring and primarily use spearmint,…

Smoking weed doesn’t lead to harder drugs, it leads to fuckin’ carpentry.

As a child of the 80s, this is the single most accurate depiction of the DARE program I can possibly imagine.

Teenagers definitely shouldn’t be using these - frankly no one who isn’t already a smoker should use any vape in my opinion. Nicotine and the daily rituals surrounding it are fiendishly addictive as we all know. But I’ve been smoking pretty much nonstop since I was 19 (39 now), have tried all sorts of things to try to…
