Damn, I didn’t follow any of this advice. When the market cratered and I saw the fed buying freakin’ junk bonds to prop the market up, I took all of my cash, all of my savings, all of my emergency fund, and stuck it in a few stocks I like/trust. I’ve overdrawn my bank account several times as a result, but with COVID,…

Disagree with the decision. Tom Cotton’s platform absolutely deserves a page in the New York Times. He is not calling for something unique - he is writing the opinions shared by a huge chunk of America. That fact makes it journalism-worthy. You can absolutely disagree with what he says, but getting it into print that…
People were pretty pissed about the hillbillies in Georgia, but that was more “well, let’s fry these racists and get on with our lives, you can’t fix evil.”
I was ready to beat some police snaggletooth, but black folks told me that it was interrupting their grieving and protest. So, I backed off for the moment. But, the anti-fascists will be back once ya’ll have your justice.
This is first-world Judaism. If eating bugs will send you to hell, you might as well break all the other religious laws too, because you’re fucked.
Are there bugs in your strawberries? Yes.
Gainer nollie kickflip over my mobility scooter... into a grind
I mean, I started playing Super Mario Bros 1 when I was two years old. Was I any good at it? No. Did I learn determination, the ability to persevere? Sure.
I only smoke Seabiscuit Slims.
I’m not suggesting it’s a quest. I’m suggesting that we’re all stumbling through life and gravitate towards what works, and most people find that cigarettes help them. I base that claim on two things I believe but don’t care to go dig out research to support, so salt to taste:
Sounds like your mother was not the best mother. I am sorry for your suffering. I am definitely not responsible for her treating you like she did, so, while I understand that you carry this anger with you every day of your life, it’s fairly easy for me to choose not to burden myself with your emotional baggage, random…
I’m not mad at the people who “hooked me on smoking” because I didn’t start smoking until I was in my late 20s, when I started writing heavily, because I enjoyed pairing an unfiltered cigarette and scotch while trying to cram my soul into a paragraph. I was convinced I would eventually write the next Great American…
No desire to.
As an aside, I have an acquaintance who is running clinical trials of what most people would consider extremely high dose adderall (200mg+) for treating some serious cognitive issues. I’m not super well versed on his research (friend of a friend), but I do know that he’s seen a remarkable effect on smoking cessation…
This reply confuses me.
Fair assessment. Good luck in your quest to outlive all of your friends.
This is a fine expectation for social norms.
I don’t know if it’s a question of “belief.” While I’m fairly educated on the chemistry of it all, and I’ve also made a few choices with regard to flavoring compounds that I see as significantly reducing the risk of the “unknown,” I will happily accept that it’s better for the lungs to not vape than to vape.
I think you must have misread. I was offering a similarly bullshit anecdote “proving” the antecedent just to show how wildly silly the entire premise of “I know somebody who got sick” is.
