Maybe it’s not very addictive for you. It is for most people.

The way you are with coffee is the way I am with nicotine. I’ve smoked. I’ve quit smoking. I’ve started again. The most craving I’ve gotten for a cigarette was incredibly mild. Once I read that nicotine could trigger certain diseases that run in my family, I quit tobacco completely and I’ve never looked back. I haven’t had a cigarette in about 18 years, and quitting was trivially easy for me.

Based on this, I could say “Cigarettes aren’t very addictive. They’re easy to quit!” And of course, I’d be dead wrong.

The more you look at it, the more wrong it becomes.

I mean why else would an LGBT+ person vote Republican unless they’re just plain stupid?

Greed?

Oh, yes. He started campaigning for 2020 immediately.

I didn’t expect that they would hire people to pretend to be them.

Why wouldn’t they? Think about trying to respond to all of those people, every day, on top of doing everything else you need to do.

Oh, look, a straw feminist. Haven’t seen one of those in awhile.

Aren’t you afraid the uptown girl could rape you?

Only if you’re a downtown man.

Do you think that somebody would actually do that? Get on the Internet and tell lies?

Shaved bald?

A friend of mine was so angry at men after her breakup that she decided to shave her head. She thought that would make her unattractive. It had the exact opposite effect, because she ran with an alternative, artsy crowd.

The moral of that story is…know your audience. I’m sure if instead she had started dressing conservatively and quoting Bible verses, it would’ve worked.

Just that they think that using house rules everyone agrees on is a great idea.

I can think of one or two times where house rules were appropriate, and a couple of dozen times where they broke the game. I think that you should only apply a house rule where 1) the game is already broken and 2) you’re reasonably sure that the house rule won’t break it further. It’s good for when an otherwise fun game is ruined by something that the game designers overlooked.

How would you get the numbers for a lottery that was 23 years ago?

Do you know what website you’re on?

There are stories about people who attempt suicide and fail, so they’re disabled and/or disfigured now. The crazy thing is that they’re still alive. They didn’t attempt it a second time. What that tells me is that suicide is something that temporarily grips you, and if you have the ability to cope somehow without killing yourself, things get better. Or maybe things don’t get better, but you no longer want to die over it.

There are guys out there with half their face gone because they missed, and they decided that life was worth living.

The area I lived in voted for a minimum wage increase several years ago. Tons of people were saying that it was a bad idea, because the businesses would just raise prices on everything.

Minimum wage increase passed. Prices didn’t change.

I think this is because minimum wage increases don’t happen in a vacuum. There are other things to consider. If your company raises prices, I’m going to go to a competitor who doesn’t. The idea that “they’ll just raise prices” assumes that all businesses will react to a minimum wage increase in the same way, and that’s not the case.

Can’t zoom in on an animated GIF. There’s no reason for that to be animated.

Fucking raise the minimum wage. The problem is that prices are rising but wages are remaining stagnant.

Where did I say that I wasn’t going to vote? I’m voting Green. If there’s a good Democrat running for Congress, I’ll vote for them, too. This isn’t complicated.

I live in a blue state. Using that same logic, my vote for a Democrat is a wasted vote, because my state is going to go blue whether I vote for them or not.

You should look up bug poo tea. It’s exactly what it sounds like.
