#

Yeah I know, but I still like him

#

He does cool shit

cursive crypt
#

Heard some ppl had to sleep in the office to catch with his deadlines.

errant raven
#

And

#

Those are some cool slaves

#

Being capable to make cool shit

cursive crypt
#

Polygamies were also modern back then. Several wives.

errant raven
#

That's something

#

One wife is cool, but several is horrible

cursive crypt
#

Its okay, they are not really together. He just makes babies.

errant raven
#

Imagine getting asked to take out the trash 9 times a second by 3+ wives each

errant raven

Don't ask, just subscribe, it'll be fun for your close ones to find a charge for subscriptions on the X website on your bills

# errant raven Yeah I know, but I still like him

What cool thing has he done though? There was a time when I liked elon but that was when I didn't really know anything about that guy. He made a flamethrower, spewed bullshit ideas about colonising mars, reinvented trains and got fired as CEO for smoking weed

errant raven
#

Rocket reentry

empty dune
#

His engineers did that, not him

errant raven
#

Reusable

empty dune
#

He paid their bills

errant raven
#

Who thunk it up and spent the money for it

#

Well he didnt think it up

#

It's been a thing just not applicable says NASA, who just wants more money

empty dune
#

Yes, he just spent the money for it. Something every other billionaire has been trying to do since 2010s when the Nasa space fleet was decommissioned and private space launch agencies became lucrative

errant raven
#

Only difference is, he achieved it

#

Which is cool

#

Nothing hes done makes him a unlikable person either

#

Unless you're a twitter stan

empty dune
#

Uh, okay. I doubt elon can solve a second order differential equation but he achieved reuseable rocketry. Got it

errant raven
#

SpaceX is his company

#

So by default, he technically achieved it.

pearl elk
#

Elons not likable until he follows through on Occupy Mars

empty dune
errant raven
#

1 bad thing

errant raven
#

Just yapping

empty dune
#

Lounge has been reset

soft night
errant raven
#

Because you brought up a "point" about something that has no solid proof of its existence, and even if it did it still wouldnt be on elon because it's his dads company?

errant raven
#

Yapping to yap. That's that twitter mentality

empty dune
errant raven
#

You could offer me a solid point with some truth behind it instead of yapping

#

Liquid points fill the empty space better

errant raven
#

Someone making a flamethrower is a reason to hate them?

empty dune
#

Plasmic points

errant raven
#

Or spewing ideas to colonize another planet

errant raven
#

These are all points YOU stated

#

Not me

empty dune
# errant raven These are all points YOU stated

I didn't state those as the bad one tf, do you lack reading comprehension? I just stated some moronic things he's done. Then you said he was likeable as a person as he hadn't done anything wrong. That was when I mentioned the "bad" thing

empty dune
#

Yeah time for the old block button, not worth it

unborn lotus
errant raven
#

The bad thing literally doesnt have solid proof

#

They've found no evidence of that mine existing, even if it did. It was his father's. Not his.

empty dune
#

Cats are liquid yes

empty dune
#

Do not the car

unborn lotus
#

Cats are alarm clocks actually

queen isle
#

why is noone paying to watch the marvels, i heard it has cats

empty dune
#

DO NOT THE CAR

#

Its a meme lol

#

Cats are often referred to as cars in memes

empty dune
#

And that line is a meme way of saying "do not harm the cat"

errant raven
empty dune
#

Well I could mention the early paypal frauds but that would make me a yapping stooge in your eyes, probably lol

#

I have terrible impulse control

proud jay
pearl elk
#

He crashed a Mclaren F1, who does that... I was even upset when Rowan Atkinson did the same thing

errant raven
#

Who am I dick riding?

empty dune
pearl elk
#

But Elon was so angry at the car for crashing itself he bought into Tesla to make a car which wouldnt crash itself

errant raven
#

Should've gave paul Walker a tesla

proud jay
empty dune
#

Laura desperately trying to reset lounge

errant raven
#

I'm not pretending

#

I generally asked for a solid thing to not like him for

#

The mine is not solid. They found no proof of it existing.

pearl elk
#

Im so amazed at all these car movies with Teslas in em... oh right, imagine the insurance on a EV in stunts

errant raven
#

Maybe stop sucking your own dick and read ๐Ÿคญ

pearl elk
#

I can do both

errant raven
#

How

pearl elk
#

I learnt it from Elon

proud jay
empty dune
#

PayPal frauds, paypal frauds ๐ŸŽถ

unborn lotus
#

and also saying Ukraine should just give up those teritorries to Russia

proud jay
#

this is not including being an absolute dick in the paypal saga

#

claiming that he founded tesla, which he didn't

pearl elk
#

Thunderfoot has heaps on videos on Mr Musk. He sold solar tiles at one stage

errant raven
#

Finally some solid points

pearl elk
#

I coulda just said I dislike all rich people

proud jay
pearl elk
#

Actually filthy rich people

errant raven
pearl elk
#

Fine to have money just not obscene amounts then complain bout the one time you have to pay tax

proud jay
#

I don't know how you could say he's a likeable person after knowing anything about him outside of what he says himself really

#

there's plenty of documentaries and books on him

#

the recent biography is a hit, and also doesn't paint a pretty picture

proud jay
#

read "Elon Musk" by Walter Isaacson and see if you're still a fan

errant raven
#

Not a fan, just like the rocket reentry

#

Anything that remotely shits on nasa

proud jay
#

spacex does cool things

#

but musk is barely involved anymore

pearl elk
#

I cant wait till we start mining asteroids with quadrillions of dollars of resources then the market cap of these companies go through the roof and all other companies get absorbed into X

errant raven
#

Cant wait till every company is absorbed into one big company

empty dune
#

The year is 2089. Everything in your credit card bill is one way or the other an X subscription. Children cry in the streets. There is no hope

errant raven
#

And the trash gets stacked so much that company builds giant ships for humans to leave the planet while robots make cubes out of the trash

proud jay
#

do you want to live in Wall-E?

pearl elk

How are the children crying when there emotions are regulated by neurallink

some say ambulance will be the first volunteer for tribute for neurallink

errant raven
#

Fuck that

pearl elk
#

Ahh yes suffering for the techno kings amusement

errant raven
#

If I got neural link I wouldn't be able to bash people for unnecessary plastic surgery

#

I myself would have an unnecessary bodily injection ๐Ÿ˜”

pearl elk
#

Not vaccinated with 5g?

errant raven
#

5G?

#

Its 2023 where the fuck is 6G

soft night
#

mons the 6g is new

empty dune
#

When 12g

pearl elk
#

14cg

errant raven
#

5G needs some range increase atleast

empty dune
#

Then i can inject it and immediately break my neck because of the extreme g forces

empty dune
errant raven
#

What is neural link

empty dune
#

Cool elon shit

#

Try it, you'll love it

pearl elk
#

I think Elon will clone his consciousness into an army of clones

errant raven
#

Is it supposed to make you smarter or something

pearl elk
#

X is legion

empty dune
#

Yes yes very smart. Much smarter than twitter stooges. Get it now, there's a sale happening

pearl elk
#

Elon is your God now

errant raven
#

That wouldn't make him a god

empty dune
#

He needs to fed the souls of 1000 psykers innocents every day for 10,000 years for him to become a god, you're correct

errant raven
#

Thatd make him a queen

#

Leader of a hive mind

pearl elk
#

Embrace the warp

errant raven
#

If we kill him the rest will die or give up, as shown in independence day

empty dune
#

embrace slaneesh

raindust if legion is killed in me2 it comes without memory on me3

empty dune
#

||its not legion, its a copy of legion that the geth consciousness makes to honor the true legion||

#

||you also have the same thing with the rachni queen||

pearl elk
#

My choices in Andromeda caused one of my best ship mates to become a depressed alcoholic

empty dune
#

||if you send the clone rachni queen to the crucible, you get a special event, that's about it||

unborn lotus

||different color endings, gamers love it||

errant raven
#

@pearl elk I know the perfect woman for you to be your wife. Would you like to see

empty dune
#

Atleast the Andromeda dev team tried

#

Man i have played way too much mass effect

pearl elk
#

It must be difficult to keep a series like that going

fleet tangle
#

Same with most series.

empty dune
#

me3 should have been the end tbh. i want the universe to continue but shepard's story needed to end in me3

fleet tangle
#

Power creep gets you in the end.

pearl elk
#

I dont think many trilogies really set out to be that

errant raven
#

Final fantasy is going on strong

#

Cod is going

fleet tangle
#

Cod isn't exactly a progressive series. It's just "fight ze terrorists" in a slightly different combination.

pearl elk
#

CoD is on a remake of a spinoff

errant raven
#

Of a remake

pearl elk
#

And Final Fantasy, we know this isnt the last one

empty dune
#

also the entirety of cod lore is about half of mass effect 1 campaign

fleet tangle
#

CoD has lore?

median wraith
#

had*

empty dune
#

yeah

errant raven
#

Cod zombies, the mini game, has better lore

soft night
#

mons did you make side deal with enemy on andromeda

errant raven
#

Queen of a powerful colony, has some cake, is attractive, Presumably human, knows how to handle some big ass weapons.

median wraith
#

why Gears of War isn't a thing on PC Steam ?

#

and why is called "Gears"

errant raven
#

Because the humans are

#

Fuck

pearl elk
errant raven
#

The gears that keep the coalition moving

empty dune
errant raven
#

I think that's why they're called gears

#

Coalition of governments or something like that

empty dune
errant raven
#

Gears 4 and 5 are

median wraith
#

no is not is called "gears"

#

and only the 5

errant raven
#

The first three are xbox exclusives

empty dune
#

well, sort of

errant raven
#

And judgement

#

Oh, we dont talk about that

median wraith
#

4 isn't on steam

errant raven
#

Big ass fucking corpser and brumack

#

I thought 4 was

#

Or was it on epics game store

#

For pc

median wraith
#

nope is only on windows one

pearl elk
#

Windows Me

errant raven
#

It's on one of the many pc game marketplaces

median wraith
#

Gears of War isn't owned by Epic

errant raven
#

Not anymore

pearl elk
#

Published by Miicrosawft

errant raven
#

Its owned by a cringey studio that changed their name to Coalition once they got the rights to gears

empty dune
errant raven
#

Microsoft owns that studio too

#

Atleast gears has never been touched by the defilement that is playstation

pearl elk
#

Gears 5 had a terrible ending

median wraith
#

"AI Artist" wtf

#

This is new, there are some profiles that are a collection of red flags

empty dune
errant raven
#

Ai artists isnt a new thing

empty dune
errant raven
#

They're gonna bitch and complain when they find out the artwork the ai makes for them isnt eligible for copyright protection or trademarks

errant raven
#

I need a epic developer who worked on gears 1 and 2 to tell me that Skorge and Raam are canonically female

#

All my dreams will come true

errant raven
#

Skorge, raam and me are gonna be in the back

#

I hope raam chokes me like he did Hoffman

And for some reason, I see the UI/UX and I can thing only of the Division.
It is like the same template, just different chars and enviro.

It is like content-focused. I heard the other day the term, Marvelization of cinema. Kinda applies here too.

Dodge rolls have dominated action games ever since Kingdom Hearts 2, but they were recently popularized with games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring. Theyโ€™re everywhere in the gaming industry, from Pokรฉmon to Hogwarts Legacy, and their overwhelming presence is starting to become tiresome. Letโ€™s talk about โ€œdodge roll gamesโ€.

After two quiet years, Im so stoked to share "White Lie", out now on @monstercatinstinct . I wrote this piece while trying to understand honesty and the grey area of truth. This track marks a new chapter for the Haywyre project. Thank you so much for watching and listening, it means the world to me. Get ready for a busy 2024 ๐ŸŽน

so f1 in vegas got drama when some drainvalve got bustedto one f1 car

proud jay
#

So I did this instead of amogus cutting board

#

still needs some sanding and oiling though

#

only regret is I should've made the hole cutout a bit larger, but can't be bothered to redo it

errant raven
#

Feet

proud jay
#

thanks

errant raven
#

Yw

#

Are they not cold

#

Is that floor not cold

unreal ether
#

That's why socks exist

errant raven
#

Not really

#

Certain socks yeah

unborn lotus
#

pay 5k to get heated floors or 10 bucks on a pair of thick socks

proud jay
errant raven
#

Floor heating?

proud jay
#

yes

errant raven
#

What is that

proud jay
#

Underfloor heating and cooling is a form of central heating and cooling that achieves indoor climate control for thermal comfort using hydronic or electrical heating elements embedded in a floor. Heating is achieved by conduction, radiation and convection. Use of underfloor heating dates back to the Neoglacial and Neolithic periods.

#

bunch of tubes with warm water under the floor tiles

#

it heats up the whole house

unborn lotus
#

and no visible radiators in your rooms

errant raven
#

Is this a common thing in Belgium

proud jay
#

not common

errant raven
#

Pretty fucked if you drop a piece of beloved chocolate

proud jay
#

but not uncommon either

proud jay
#

normally tiles are just cold though

errant raven
#

Makes sense

proud jay
#

I'd say the floor temperature is slightly colder than my skin

errant raven
#

I wonder if we have that in the u.s

proud jay
#

and chocolate doesn't instantly melt in my hand so

#

it used to be something rich people did, but it's becoming more common here

#

it became more interesting with the rise of heat pumps

errant raven
#

Seems pretty expensive

proud jay
#

idk

#

I didn't pay for it

#

but I'm probably gonna put it in my house as well though

errant raven
#

Electricity bill too

proud jay
#

well, you'd be heating your house anyway

#

whether you put it in the floor or in the air doesn't make a cost difference

#

I think the floor heating is actually more efficient

#

also, get solar panels

errant raven
#

Probably not common here since we have to keep natural disasters in mind

#

East coast always bombard by hurricanes, mid west always hit by tornadoes, and the west coast has too many energy consumption laws

proud jay
#

knowing our politics, we probably have worse laws

#

electricity is also way cheaper in USA

errant raven
#

California's energy laws are so strict their pcs can only consume 650 watts of power

#

Last time I checked/heard about it

#
Most gaming machines machines made after July 1 are restricted to using no more than 50, 60, or 70 kWH of power a year, depending on the type of computer in question โ€ฆ
#

Whatever tf that means

proud jay
#

strange law

#

floor heating can also do cooling btw

#

almost forgot about that

unborn lotus
errant raven
#

I'd be happy if the u.s integrated roads like germany and bike lanes like the netherlands

#

Current shit is so confusing and makes me not want to drive

#

Especially in small/big cities

proud jay
#

americans have bikes?

errant raven
#

Yeah but no bike lanes in most places

#

Only in cities or in parks

#

Cant even use a skateboard for transportation

fleet tangle
proud jay
#

I think we have bike lanes by law on certain types of streets

#

it's only like around highways we don't have them

#

or when the road is so small that there would probably not be cars on it much anyway

errant raven
#

It's pretty hard to keep a bike here in some areas

proud jay
#

keep as in you have no space, or as in it gets stolen

errant raven
#

Stolen

#

Bike locks are semi useless

proud jay
#

we have that in big cities too though here

deep glen
errant raven
#

I think riding bikes also died out here as well. We had a lot of bmx parks but most are abandoned. Only old people ride bikes on the park trails bow too

proud jay
#

when you go to the cops in a large city and you tell them your bike was stolen, they just tell you to steal another one lol

proud jay
#

difference is crazy tbh

deep glen
#

ikr

#

I want it too, but munnies

errant raven
#

How is it better to have the heating in the ceiling

#

Doesnt heat rise

proud jay
#

in the mornings the hallway is cold af (cause we keep the window open) but in the bathroom it's like heaven

deep glen
#

it does, but since its already at ceiling, it pushes down, which is more effective than it rising.

proud jay
#

yeah, the heat will not rise through heat

#

so if the ceiling is warm, the heat on the botton floor will be kept better

deep glen
#

re: bike

#

my bike was stolen two years ago, and since its a rather peculiar model, they actually found it and brought it back.

proud jay
#

nice

deep glen
#

10/10 thought it was a lost cause.

errant raven
#

We have a custom bmx bike shop but it barely ever gets business

proud jay
#

my brother's electric step was stolen, and they know who did it, but they can't prove it since the camera images are not sharp enough, so he just got away with it

errant raven
#

My state is basically Belgium

proud jay
#

and the guy didn't want to admit

#

so now my brother is using my step

errant raven
#

Practically two areas divided by wealth/culture

proud jay
#

so you pay insane taxes?

errant raven
#

Somewhat

#

Federal tax, and city tax

proud jay
#

ok but how much

#

cause I bet you I pay more

errant raven
#

Fed is 7% and local is like 5 percent or something

proud jay
#

lol

#

rookie numbers

#

our lowest tax bracket is 25%

#

we also have city taxes, but it's like next to nothing, paid like 30 bucks last year lol

#

but yeah, we get fucked on wage

errant raven
#

Jesus

soft night
#

the drainvalve/manhole what youcall it

errant raven
#

State income tax is 4.75-5.25% and fed is between 7-10%

proud jay
#

the median wage is 3.5k, * 13.92 pay cycles, is 48720, so the majority pay 50% tax on part of tehir wage

deep glen
proud jay
#

of course you can reduce it in some ways, by having a low income partner, or if you have kids or disability

#

but most people are just fucked

proud jay
errant raven
#

I'm legally not "disabled" anymore

deep glen
proud jay
#

you see why belgium is not very competitive in the international space

#

labour costs are really high

#

our main export is probably politics ๐Ÿ˜†

#

people working for the EU are balling though

#

their entry wage is like 6k, and they only pay 1.5% tax to the EU, not to belgium

soft night
#

well in vegas strip

errant raven
#

Is the tax rate different between the Flanders and wallonia area places thingymabobs

proud jay
#

not for this, this is federal

errant raven
#

The Dutch side and french side

proud jay
#

but the discounts you can get have some region specific things sometimes

errant raven
#

I'd imagine fries are discounted in Wallonia ๐Ÿ˜…

proud jay
#

at least we have no tax on capital gains, so rich people can be rich

errant raven
#

Sounds like the u.s

proud jay
#

if you cross the border, the housing prices drop like 40%

errant raven
#

A law just passed makinh Political leaders not liable to trade in stocks or something like that

#

Since they always seem to be ahead and make money from it

proud jay
#

well, guess who is making those laws

errant raven
#

Corruption being dealt with, but they'll probably get other people to do it for them

#

A political leader

proud jay
#

we also have a law that puts a ceiling on maximum pension, guess what kind of jobs are exempt from this ๐Ÿ™‚

#

spoiler, it's politicians

errant raven
#

Corruption is gross

proud jay
#

and they're already making more than 4 times what the average person makes

#

and they don't even have to show up

#

we have a politician that abused government funds to commit fraud and stole 2 million dollars, she's still active in parliament, but she hasn't showed up in 2 years cause of "illness", she's still getting paid full wage

#

again, normally you lose your wage partially after a month of not working, but not for politicians

errant raven
#

Politicians dont even work

unreal ether
#

I find it crazy what you get over here for being PM

In the UK once you've been the prime minister you get ยฃ115k a year for life. For doing nothing. Take a recent example, of Liz Truss who was PM for 40 something days, royally screwed the country, resigned, and now gets a top .5% salary for doing so

errant raven
#

They just occasionally pass a bill or go golfing

proud jay
#

USA presidents also get money and security detail for life though

#

but I feel like that's on a different level

errant raven
#

Our budget is insane

unreal ether
# proud jay how do I become uk prime minister?

Align with the views that the rich get richer, force everyone in cities who can't afford a car that's only a few years old to pay a daily fine, live in the rich suburbs of London, and spew some spiel about how wonderful the country is

proud jay
#

USA is also a world power and the president has substantially more power and control and is more likely to be a political target

#

who gives a shit about UK prime minister

unreal ether
#

Exactly

proud jay
#

look at my boy boris

errant raven
#

Just be the owner of the british museum

proud jay
#

he's like a kindergartner that accidentally became PM

unreal ether
#

I'm just miffed that someone who got a job, was so bad at it they barely lasted a month, in the process screwed a lot of things, causing great inflation, and now gets to do nothing while earning a salary that's probably higher than I will ever earn

proud jay
#

yeah it's wild

#

much like diplomatic immunity is just abused out the wazoo

#

it's meant so you don't get prosecuted for going against the current government

#

but people just use it to drive their car at 230 km/h and not get fines and the likes

#

and the concept is strange in itself really, cause the government can decide to remove your diplomatic immunity, so what's the point

#

it's just a longer process

unreal ether
#

I heard about something American cops have that's wild called "qualified immunity"

Which basically means they can assault you, violate your civil rights etc, and if they're on duty, they can't be found personally liable.

Which means if you're an unfortunate victim, and the only recompense you get is seeing the department give them a week's paid suspension, you still can't personally sue them for damages!

errant raven
#

Yeah cops do what they want

#

It's cool when you run into level headed cops or young ones fresh from the marines

zinc wagon
errant raven
#

The one that arrested me kept a knee in my neck the entire time after slamming me down when I was already sitting down

#

Belittled me too

#

The EMT's released me from him and took me into care instead lol also had another cop come instead and try to cheer me up

unreal ether
#

Fortunately a lot of the UK cops are great and I don't have to worry about being shot.

I'm sure most of the American ones are fine too, it's just no one talks about the good cops, so everything I can hear about them, being overseas, is negatively biased.

#

I only ever met 1 American cop when I was a very young child, outside of the Orlando airport, and he was extremely chill

errant raven
#

No one wants to record people being decent humans, they just want bad stuff so they get more views

unreal ether
errant raven
#

I've been "pulled over" just for walking with no shirt on and having "marijuana bracelets" that are sold by a store not even 5 minutes by car away from where he stopped me

#

They forget that CBD is weed, legal too

unreal ether
#

The UK has a very weird stance on weed.

We allow CBD, some shops even sell wax and seeds, hell, he met police even opened an official lounge where you can smoke a blunt and eat snacks, all above board, yet cannabis is a class b drug, and you can be fined and arrested for possession ๐Ÿค”

Cbd doesnt get you high

Thc does

It's the thc that's illegal

zinc wagon

Cbd does other things

#

Good for anxiety

unreal ether

CBD can do wonders for joint pain and anxiety and stuff

Can even be great for chronic disease like Parkinson's

errant raven

No

Not that I know of

Everyone knows that cbd shops sell thc weed under the counter

unreal ether

#

Delta 8 also gets you high but it's legal as well

I just find it weird that us lot opened a shop where you can commit a crime but it's not a crime

errant raven
#

What happens to the "criminals" in prison or jail for marijuana when marijuana gets legalized while they're incarcerated

zinc wagon
#

but idk tho all i know about weed is some wikis i read while laying in bed ๐Ÿ˜…

errant raven
#

I used to smoke weed, was the easiest thing I've ever quit

#

Didnt feel any negative effects from not having it or even needing it

zinc wagon
unreal ether
#

Like comfort eating, or unhealthy gaming habits

errant raven
unreal ether
# zinc wagon pardon me?

The met police opened a shop with snacks and sofas where you can smoke weed. Like actual weed, not CBD, but weed is still a class b drug

errant raven
#

It depends on mentality from person to person

#

Addiction is more like a spectrum, I guess

unreal ether
#

I find it crazy that tobacco is legal given the harm of it, as well as the sheer addictiveness of nicotine

zinc wagon
errant raven
#

They raised smoking age to 21 from 18 like 3 or so years ago

zinc wagon
errant raven
#

In the u.s atleast

#

Gonna have to start taking nicotine patches and give up smoking

unreal ether
unreal ether
#

I don't think it's a bad move, I just think it's a fruitless effort, and is gonna be a waste of tax money

fleet tangle
#

It's a great move.

errant raven
#

Just set it to 50 and be done with it

fleet tangle
#

It won't be effective right now.

#

In 10 years, you'll see a difference.

errant raven
#

Just make it illegal so no one can smoke

zinc wagon
#

honestly i think we should switch it up from cigs to weed. at least weed has way less long and short term damage on the person

errant raven
#

Itll also help with climate

unreal ether
#

It is indeed.
I just don't think it will ever work.

The reason people start smoking is a tale as old as time. Their friends do it and they think it's cool.

A ban on cigarettes isn't going to change anything. Half my peers at school were selling and doing drugs.

errant raven
#

I feel obligated to pick up any cigarette butt I find on the ground and throw it away

fleet tangle
#

This way the people who already smoke are fine with it.

#

Except half the teenagers in the UK who are 14 probably already smoke.

#

And have had at least 1 abortion.

errant raven
#

Vaping encouraged more people to start smoking than cigarettes

#

I only see teens with vapes and they always say ew when I pull out a cigarette

zinc wagon
errant raven
#

(My younger brothers friends)

zinc wagon
#

vapes are biggest scam on earth

errant raven
#

My cigarettes will give me tar lung, in a few years

proud jay
#

have you considered not smoking

errant raven
#

I'm not even a heavy smoker

#

I smoke like 3-4 cigarettes a day

zinc wagon
proud jay
#

that's not little

errant raven
#

Wet lung

#

3-4 is better than 8-12 or a whole pack

unreal ether
#

I don't get the human obsession with inhaling things you aren't meant to inhale

fleet tangle
zinc wagon
unreal ether
#

There have been isolated cases sure. But nothing that suggests a trend so far.

fleet tangle
errant raven
#

Its nasty

zinc wagon
fleet tangle
#

So it's like living in a hot climate?

fleet tangle
errant raven
#

Also if you hit it too often the cotton inside can burn with the vape liquid on it, and if you inhale that too much itll kill you

fleet tangle
#

I have smoked and vaped. I haven't done either in 5 years.

fleet tangle
#

Basically what vaping is.

errant raven
#

Currently trying to cut down to 2 cigarettes a day, eventually half of one. Just to switch to nicotine patches

fleet tangle
#

I stopped cold turkey.

zinc wagon
# fleet tangle So it's like living in a hot climate?

nope. the issue is with vapes is the more hot you make it, the more "flavourful" it becomes. if you tweak it down that should be fine. but most people like to push it to the max (up to 250~ C) for "most" flavour

errant raven
#

I dont think I can do that with nicotine like I did weed

zinc wagon
#

there also not even starting it

#

best way to beat an addiction

proud jay
#

the cost alone is enough to keep me away from smoking

#

next to the fact that I don't see any point in doing it of course

fleet tangle
#

People who smoke can always afford another pack.

proud jay
#

they think they do

fleet tangle
#

Mostly because it's an appetite suppressant and they don't eat.

errant raven
#

Menthol cigarettes are being banned here so it's why im working on stopping

#

Plus inflation made the prices more unbearable

fleet tangle
#

Menthols were the best.

errant raven
#

I'd never stop smoking if they had tobasco cigarettes

zinc wagon
proud jay
#

average pack of cigs here is 10,70 euros

unreal ether
#

I think one of the biggest bads about vapes isn't that people are misusing them and burning their lungs, it's that the batteries in some of the bigger ones like to go boom in people's pockets

proud jay
#

imagine smoking up 40 bucks a day

#

I'd be so poor

proud jay
#

so smoking 4 packs a day would cos you about 14k per year here

#

which is approx 30% of median income

unreal ether
#

Some of the UK's attempts at stopping smoking were laughable.

Like putting cigs in grey unbranded packages and requiring grotesque images on them...

No one's smoking because the packet was cool

proud jay
#

imagine spending a third of your money on a shit habit

unreal ether
#

It's wild

#

Save the cigarette money and build yourself a mean Dev rig and build server ๐Ÿง 

proud jay
#

or a house or something idk

zinc wagon
unreal ether
#

I'd say at least 3 quarters here

proud jay
#

maybe even less

#

in my social circle the only person that smokes is my mom

#

let me see if I can find actual stats

#

study in 2018 found that 15% of people smoked daily

fleet tangle
proud jay
#

and 4% on occasion

deep glen
proud jay
#

4.7% smokes more than 20 cigs a day

zinc wagon
zinc wagon
proud jay
#

well this is about cigarettes yes

#

but I also don't see very many people vaping tbh

zinc wagon
#

is it because people just dont like any more smoking or is it because the prices are too much for them to afford would you say?

proud jay
#

another study found that from people aged 15 to 24 only 0.6% vape daily

#

25.4% has vaped at least once though

fleet tangle
#

A lot of media made smooking look cool. It's not allowed to any more.

proud jay
#

and 5.5% occasional vaping

fleet tangle
#

Now everyone just does proper drugs instead.

zinc wagon
#

progress!

fleet tangle
#

I'm definitely on the legalise and regular side of that.

#

Think of the tax income!

proud jay
#

regulate?

#

I'm for legalization too

fleet tangle
#

Educate. Tax. Etc.

proud jay
#

although I'm against drugs

#

but better to have an eye on it

#

and make some money in the mean time

#

"Let them take whatever and whoever survives gets to contribute to the gene pool"

proud jay
#

we have some semi-legal places here in belgium already where you can be assisted in taking your drugs

fleet tangle
#

Do they have those "test these drugs for purity" things?

deep glen
#

we have free drug-test-labs across the country. it def helps.

proud jay
#

as in you show up, they check if your drugs is of decent quality and not laced with chemicals, and then they set you up in a room to shoot up properly with guidance and monitor you

deep glen
#

lets just say the last batch I had tested was "Yea, dont take this, we dont know whats in it, but lab confirmed its not good"

fleet tangle
#

How do the dodgy dealers survive with such systems? Figuratively and literally.

proud jay
#

at least the consumer survives

deep glen
#

its generally the quick buck a-holes that do polluted batches. --generally-- though, regular dealers have pride in their work and want their costumers to buy again.

That all comes under the education bit, tbh.

And, well, teh same way you don't watch porn in public.
