  • You're not wrong but it's also the people's fault as well for engaging so much with this bullshit. I swear 90% of the internet exists simply to circle jerk about things people hate while the remaining 10% actually talks about things they like. I'll never understand why people choose to talk so much about the things they hate, just fucking downvote and move on to something you actually like.

    All publicity is good for these pieces of shit, stop feeding into the rage cycle and they wouldn't be covered so much. Or they'd have to pay more for their coverage at the very least.

  • The factory may need those resources to grow at some point. Best to stash em away just in case.

  • I got a 4 ten hour day schedule with 3 days off and I MUCH prefer it over 5 eight hour days. Having a whole extra day off easily makes up for working ten hours IMO.

  • Here in Canada I got locked out of my account because I had a camp job. I had to either pay to use it at home and at camp or choose one or the other. So I cancelled. That was around March it happened. Fuck Netflix.

  • I'm in this meme and I very much approve.

  • Everyone is a natural Morn killer. How could you not wanna kill him when he never shuts his mouth? You try to join the conversation but noooo there's Morn making all the Dabo girls laugh. Best to get rid of the competition.

  • Got any recommendations? My ears have been pissing me off lately cause they're constantly feeling blocked. Not just for the ear pick but anything in general to help with to much wax in the ear.

  • Won't someone think of the shareholders?!? If they don't get the profit they're expecting, then they may not be able to afford that 6th home for their kids spring break! Can you imagine how embarrassing that would be for their kids? Have a heart you filthy peasant! Think of the children!

  • Boo fuckin hoo. The poor multi billion dollar corporation, what will they ever do?

  • I've been vaping for 8 years after smoking for 6 years and the smell of cigarettes are gross to me. But when I see someone in a tv show or movie smoking that tends to make me crave a smoke. Weird how the brain works lol.

  • Nicotine is absolutely addictive wtf are you talking about. I smoked cigarettes for 6 years and then used a vape to quit cigarettes, it took about 3 months to wean myself off cigarettes and get used to vaping full time. My original plan was to use a vape to get off nicotine completely by gradually lowering my nicotine from 24MG to 0MG of nicotine in my vape juice but that didn't work.

    Now here I am 8 years later, vaping my 3MG juice daily and just as additiced to the vape as I was to cigarettes. I have literally the exact same habits with my vape as I did with cigarettes, as soon as I finish eating I pull out my vape, I wake up and have coffee, I pull out my vape, I have some drinks I have a vape. Nicotine is nicotine regardless of how you get it. I've literally tried to quit by going to 0MG juice or going cold turkey 6 times over those 8 years and I just can't do it. It's to fucking hard. I've given up on trying to quit because life sucks and I have no good reason to quit anymore, getting lung cancer is basically my retirement plan at this point. (no clue what the actual health effects are regarding vapes, I'm just being hyperbolic)

    Don't get me wrong, vaping is definitely a MUCH better alternative than smoking cigarettes but don't try and downplay just how addictive nicotine is. Nobody should touch nicotine vapes unless you're using it to quit cigarettes.

    I 100% agree that kids will get a hold of vapes or smokes regardless of whether it's legal or not to sell it to underagers, but that doesn't mean it's a good thing. Vaping is definitely preferable to smoking, but not getting addicted to nicotine is WAY better than either of those options.

    Don't downplay how addictive nicotine is.

  • I mean, it's like grade 3 level English. People can tell what you meant but that's because it's so common that so many people make such simple mistakes. Educate yourself ffs.

  • Tons of great answers in this thread, but as you can see from my username, The Expanse is my favorite piece of media of all time. Both the books and TV show are god tier IMO. The show is one of the rare examples where the majority of the book readers agree that the show is a top tier adaptation, as opposed to a lot of other shows based off great books that the book readers don't like due to major changes. There are definitely changes to make the show flow better, but I'd say the changes are very well done and I've gone through all the books and novellas twice, and watched the show about 8 times all the way through.

    Both the books and TV show are top tier sci-fi. Any sci-fi fan owes it to themselves to give either or both a shot!

  • There's no such thing as "faking" racism you dumb fuck
