I mean I guess its slightly reassuring. Truth is, its hard to trust a "moderator" that you paid for. Its just the nature of how shit works.

Life is too short.

Pepsi is NOT okay.

Da' Baby

It took me like a million years to find Brainbug - Nightmare (Sinister Strings Mix) because I had only heard it in a oddball movie trailer and the song wasn't used anywhere in the movie.

Not at all. Our state government sucks ass tho.

Jokes on them. Broke.

Man, I dunno. My brain suuuuuuuuucks. Whats the value here?

It totally doesn't. Also you need to send your friend back to Nalthis.

It would drag on for years and eventually US Republicans would be calling it a "peaceful political movement"

None. I avoid them when ever possible which thus far is most of the time.

Why buy a slim, light state of the art phone just to slap a case on top of it?

Because they cost a lot of money. Money most people can't afford to drop on dime when the all glass phone cracks.

Looks cool but I really don't get the point. Most people are not rich enough to buy something like that then not slam it into a case that covers the whole thing up.

I like Rezz. She lead me to 13 who sadly seems to have stopped releasing music. I can't help but wonder if the difficult to search up may contributed.

If Rezz is trying to hypnotize you with bass then 13 was trying to murder you.

A heart cursed copse

I mean it sort of makes sense from a business perspective. The amount of rapid scaling is something you can get wrong very easily.

But yeah a lot of big ass bonus checks is a good start.

I heard this song and added to a play list and I guess at some point googled the band because "the algorithm" started giving me stories about the dude. He kind of seems like a huge d bag. Good song tho.

Considering I've reached the point where for the first time in my life at the end a 2 week cycle SOMETHING is left over even if just a little bit? Yes.

I had a zip drive. Eventually it got the click of death though. First PC had 5 1/4 and 3.5in drives.

That is for sure not my reaction to pictures of pretty women. But you do you.

I get bigger raises.

No. Its pretty easy to work around. He just went right to twit to be a special baby boy.

Helldivers 2.

Gonna have to pass on that one good buddy. Don't shit up Firefox.

I don't. There are far more interesting fictional character to talk about.

YOU ARE PROTECTED IN OUR WALL GARDEN! APPLE USES HAVE NO NEED T- oops, anyway YOU ARE PROTECTED.

I'm not offended by that specifically but if there is a god I'd like to speak to his manager. We have some bigger overarching things to discuss.

People walking around with them on is basically just their wait of saying "look at my butthole!"

Something very haunting about that Raised by Wolves intro. Very striking.

Is the lead singer slowly morphing into Phil Collins?

If you've not really saved for your future do it NOOOOOW like yesterday level now. Like 2 checks from now something must be being sat back. Even if its just a tiny bit. The time to start was many years ago. Don't wait even longer.

Always been a big fan of the song Stuart. It serves as a reminder that the people they were making fun of are very much still a thing many years later. But this one isn't far off either.

Shit your pants during dance class. All possibility is dead.

If it makes you feel slightly better I pay about $70/year for AAA so thats about half of the cost there since it comes with Roadside assistance.

No I changed to Pixel phones, not going back.

My motto: Pixels go on sale so, wait for the sale. Only been rocking my 8 Pro since black fridayish.

Rocky. I quit once years ago for like 3 months and went back, never got the will power up to try again. Then one day my doctor told me there is a good chance I had cancer (spoiler: didn't have cancer) and it scared the shit out of me.

Knowing technically its probably to late I tried to quit, failed almost immediately.

Then kind of sat down with myself and had a good long thing about why. Determined it was a multi layered problem.

1. The nicotine itself.
2. The act of getting up and going outside
3. The hand/mouth part of it

So I took a multi phased approach.

I switched to vaping, which I found hard. But instead of puffing on a vape non stop I got really strong fluid so each time would just be a puff or two. Then I'd sit on the porch for a min before I went back in.

Later I lowered the MG on the vape fluid. Then about a month later lowered it again. Kept that up until it was the lowest MG fluid.

Started the patch. Still went outside a few times a day and would just have a tic tac and relax a bit. Occasionally I'd get a really strong urge so for the first week so I'd let myself have like one puff off the vape but after a week of that, threw it in the trash.

Patch level down, down again, and then right before the lowest level I actually felt I was already ready. I had to take the patches off each night or I'd have bad dreams and the next day I'd put another on. But that last day I woke up and I just put last nights back on. I'm sure it had very little left in it but I knew it would have some effect. I did this so that I would be totally unaware of when the nicotine really stopped. I was playing a mind game with myself and so at some point that day I pulled it off and went about my life.

Two days later I had an ABSOLUTE HELL DAY. One where later I even had to apologize to my boss because I was being such a raging asshole and then... I was free.

I kept up the sitting on the porch thing a few months, I also picked up a pretty big tic tac habit which I had to later break but thats childs play compared.

Its been over 2 years now. I've finally stopped dreaming about smoking or if I do I'm mad at myself (in the dream) about it. The smell to me is now awful instead of something that I want. And I never ever ever want to go back.

I do struggle with my weight a lot more then when I smoked though. Oh, and every scan shows whatever they thought might be cancer hasn't changed in size and might even have shrunk a little. So I guess if whatever that is doesn't kill me I can say "Thanks, weird shit on my lung."

But if you're reading this and you're a smoker. Quit. Now. Soon. But quit. Don't wait until its too late. When the world drops out from under you and you know you've fucked up in a way that can never be fixed. Don't wait until you feel like your whole world is winding down and wait on some sort of miracle. Find whatever path works. Please.

Its a trap!
