Yes, the small consumer vapes sold at convenience stores did not deliver the amount and experience that came close to replacing burning cigarettes for me. Nor did gum. Gum did not deliver nicotine in the same way at all, it made me nauseous, and was not helpful for me. What helped me de-couple from nicotine was a…

Trying hard not to judge people based on vehicles.

Very similar to my experience. Took up vaping in order to quit cigarettes. It took a few years. The first year was just getting used to nicotine via vape and being cautiously grateful for the diminished desire for a burning cig. Vaping offers options in nicotine delivery, so was glad to be able to ratchet down after a…

That’s kind of what happened to trump, no? He likely got sent to military boarding school for rich oligarchs (including the son of Pinochet) for a reason though.

Oh, geez. It’s way worse than that. All three branches have been staffed by republicans since the 2016 election. With that much power and that much obsequiousness to billionaires that fund the politician’s ‘lifestyle of the rich and famous,’ common folk will be supporting these politicians and billionaires for the…

Yep. It’s a small business; the type that both d and r’s say is the most American of businesses. The owner was polite and discreet, risking both other customers perceiving a customer leaving and also risking the very scary wrath of extremists.

Sorry, but ‘turned’ is the verb tense. Have to find joy despite the news of the cruelty marching inexorably closer.

Passing the blame and believing that blame is mandatory appears to be prevalent in conservatives and republicans. It happens to me too. It’s a virus of sorts, perhaps. Creates conflict and solves no problem for any living thing.

This admin see no difference between asylum seekers and job seekers and criminals escaping justice. It cannot discern a difference in the citizenry, either. The US is functionally a dictatorship. Prepare to obey or be imprisoned or ‘fired.’

That child is thinking! Wish I could help her and so many other humans in this country.

Would love to purchase a Swiss Army Knife multi-tool for myself and the hubby, though not through Amazon. Their warranty and customer support is practically non-existent. I’ve attempted to return a $55 speaker that malfunctions after 10 months of use. Perhaps $67/year is an acceptable cost for sound projection.…

Include compassion in the training. Focus on social service by police rather than fear based attitude towards people. Different people might apply

Pretty sad. The end of democracy.

Very true. Keep it simple. Simple messages might get through. No critical thinking can be expected.

Conservatives also run from self knowledge. Money wins. Blame anyone, anything, the wind, some group, some creatures for their own anger/sadness/angst. Then kill or torture the target because it is their fault. Strange logic.

A win for trump inc might be a net gain for ecology? Fewer war maneuvers are definitely a good result, despite my horror at this admin’s human rights abuses. His hotels and bulliii realestate nonsense will doubtless do as much damage as bombs, so ...argh.

Since she and her father lie with most statements, who care what they say? Ivanka is functioning as a spokesmodel for a dictator. They can both be bester.

Trump walking the line between an attack on the west coast which might affect him, and making another sentient being cower. Making something cower and resent him wins. Good luck, world.

Do not miss him. He’s the one that coined “axis of evil.” Just like Trump, inciting division and war.

Have personally come to the conclusion that dems vs repubs is inherently a losing proposition. The repubs have ‘won’ their prize: power to change society via legislation with all three branches of this fragile system in their care.
