My spouse and I both did.

I was a pack per day smoker for 15-20 years. Switched to vaping as it was becoming so popular. Stepped down the nicotine over the course of a few years until I finally just got tired of going and buying 1mg juice and stopped. Haven’t had a vape in about 2 years and a cigarette in about about 5.

I still get a craving now and then but it passes. Cigarettes usually just smell like a disgusting ashtray and I’m glad I don’t smoke anymore.

edit: we both actively wanted to quit and I’m so happy it worked for us

There is no war but the class war comrade.

We have more in common with an entitled boomer or homeless man than we do with Elmo or Zuck (or McConnell or Pelosi) or any of the other elite.

*more of a victim of capitalist fuckery so far.

There is no war but the class war, full stop.

The boomer I see sleeping on the sidewalk every morning is more a victim of capitalist fuckery than I’ll ever be. There’s no war but the class war, everything else is secondary.

I take it back.

Louder for the people in the back:

THERE IS NO WAR BUT THE CLASS WAR.

I’m going to watch this soon, I almost did last night. Stavvy is based and funny as fuck I have to support him.

Memoir of a Snail at a theater a few weeks ago. It was a good movie and my partner and I enjoy going to the theater, I regret nothing.

An increasing number of Americans are beginning to see the problems inherent in capitalism.

You have to actually consider what the other person is saying if you want to have a productive conversation. Being snarky or just responding with memes and cliches only distracts from the point being made.

“Rugged individualism” is propaganda sold to school children from the time they’re in grade school.

That’s the beauty of it, they’re not wrong either way.

Give it a decade and people might become a lot leaner and a lot stronger though, I hope. Admittedly I don’t have a lot of faith in my compatriots but it could happen.
