  • I agree with the spirit of your message, but it is a hell of a lot more than 100 angry people in that mob. In my opinion, there should be thousands more. The only other option is to do absolutely nothing while democracy dies.

  • As much as I hate seeing our brave comrades getting shot up with rubber bullets and teargas, this kind of protest is exactly what needs to be happening in every city in the country. Fuck the police, fuck the fascist oligarchy, fuck the rich who have all conspired to divide and control us for millennia.

  • said the mother giraffe.

  • I’m going to be cautiously optimistic and say I hope this allows Sheinbaum to get a lot of progressive changes passed.

  • Oh, you know, just centrist politics things.

  • Good, fuck all y’all, I’ll see you in hell tomorrow if I can.

  • I never use a case for my phone, and have broken them only twice, which is a better success rate than most people I know. I wouldn’t buy a sports car and cover it up to drive it, so why would I cover my expensive phone to use it? I do get AppleCare though, so I’m not out a full 1k if disaster strikes.

  • My point is that it is within the realm of normal annoyances from other people and there should be a reasonable expectation of both politeness from the smoker and tolerance from others. A strong perfume, a fart, body odor, spicy food, and many other gasses can be encountered at any point from a similar distance, but nobody suggests punishing people for those.

    I find the desire to over legislate things due to personal preferences about how other people behave is a bigger and more annoying vice than smoking.

  • Like outside more than 10 feet from a doorway? Surely 10 feet is enough to change your walking path and save yourself from a waft.

  • Everyone forces their vice on bystanders in some capacity. I consider censorship and Puritanism to be a vice that is forced in nearly every aspect of society. It’s moral fetishism.

    Between the two, I’d rather see someone smoke a cigarette than be judgmental towards others.

  • School playground might be a bit much, but I unironically support your right to sun your anus in the park. We all have them, we shouldn’t be ashamed.

  • So where do you fall on the natural tobacco brands?

  • I don’t smoke, but I also don’t want to live in a world where you can’t.

  • Anybody who thinks they are breathing clean air just because they banned smoking is kidding themselves. At least the cigarette makes the smoker happy and causes minimal damage to passersby when smoked outside—meanwhile the massive air pollution that companies emit is shortening lifespans of every breather across the globe.

    Sure, don’t smoke inside, whatever, but the criminalization and exclusion of addictive behavior is bullshit, in my opinion, especially when it comes in the form of pearl clutching “for the children”.

  • If you can’t smoke outdoors and you can’t smoke indoors, where can you smoke?

  • Minus 5 points for having the wrong World Trade Center in frame. Plus 69 points for big swangin’ Bills.

  • Yeah, the bargain bin whirlpool my apartment grudgingly provides does not perform the same. Convincing them to shell out $800 or even to let me do so would be like convincing DOGE to fund universal healthcare—impossible.
