Sent! It takes about 12-15 hours to beat it so I doubt we'll be able to get through it all today but let's go wooo!

I can speak as someone who previously smoked for a decade+ and then quit. I started because some friends who smoked offered me one and I was dumb enough to say yes. Horrible. But there was a very nice immediate head rush/high. And then that led to friends continuing to offer cigarettes and me continuing to be dumb. And then addiction takes hold and it goes from there.

I probably didn't actually BUY my own smokes until I'd already smoked more than a carton off of other people offering.

And it is a HARD drug to quit. Still to this day when I smell someone smoking a cig I immediately get the "awww fuck I could really use one of those right now" urges

I stay out of that fight because I don't know enough about the real statistics to comment on it. Which I feel like would drastically improve the situation if all these armchair "bIoLoGiCaL aDvAnTaGe" people would do the same.

It was kind of shocking seeing some friends openly turn so incredibly sexist and racist and generally horrible once Trump was elected. I don't regret the finding out, but it was a little surprising seeing I wasn't as good of a judge of character as I thought.

I have this one friend who is an immensely kind person but she's just horrible at this. She tries to relate with a relevant story but it always comes off as her just trying to shift the story to herself. If she wasn't such a sweetheart I'd think it was intentional but I think she's just bad at this one particular conversational aspect. Is a little cute seeing her try so earnestly and fail so spectacularly, not gonna lie

It's a store in the US that sells most stuff for $1, for context. Or $1.25 now apparently

I guess it depends on the price point. I suppose even an hour or so I'd be content with if it cost me less than a dollar, you expect a lot more out of a pricier game though

You'll have to stop buying eventually to play through them all or you're always gonna have some left in the backlog at that rate. Oo maybe you can hand down your library to your kids and they can continue on the effort

Port and starboard are in relation to the ship while left and right are in relation to the person
