Oh good, I’m too old to be expected to understand wtf this new bit is.

Hi, I vape. You’re not wrong at all. One day I will quit, but for now it’s a psychological crutch (and physical addiction) that is less bad for me than the pack+ a day I smoked for like 9 or 10 years. I didn’t take your message as an attack, for the record. Just giving context for the rest. I would never intentionally blow vape in anyone’s face and have gone to great lengths to avoid doing so. The only exception to this has been with partners and friends where it’s an in thing.

Those same people would have probably blown cigarette smoke in your face, but there was such a negative social connotation. For some reason, people who vape seem to think that because it’s not smoke they are magically allowed to blow it in your face now and 'look cool '. For some reason not enough people are decking these individuals, so we’re not building that negative connotation properly.

Maybe some of these people are too young to even know that blowing cigarette smoke in someone’s face is rude? I’m in my 30s. That feels like more benefit of the doubt than I’m willing to give the overwhelming majority.

I was just complaining to a friend that I think it’s fucking absurd that Messenger still doesn’t work with webp but I now have an ‘imagine’ button for making stupid ‘AI’ art.

I did not know what waffle stomping was. I regrettably do now.

It’s horrible and I hate it. A partner in the past stopped wearing a velvet item of clothing. Not because I asked - I would never - but because I touched her noticably less when she’d wear it. I cannot stand the feeling.

Edit: peaches don’t bother me at all.

I’ve not personally had the benefit of owning square plates, mostly as I think all my dishes have been second hand. That said, they would stand up in the dish drainer much better. No rolling around. You win lol

Hm, round. To fit the plate.

Potentially zinc oxide, then, which is horrible for you.

So this was part of a much bigger discussion and turned out in reality to be mostly due to some unaddressed mental health issues. But on the tail end of an argument, y’know when you’re starting to talk nice again and resolve things, I said something like it’s okay, sometimes you’re just a sad pancake. She burst into tears because she wanted to be a waffle. Hormones and mental health are wild, y’all.

Yes, but I read someone make the point, much better than I will now, that Trump’s people are Trump’s people. They’re not Republicans or conservatives or whatever. They will support him no matter what.

Speaking entirely from personal experience, this is accurate. I don’t know what percentage of people in the US are Catholic, but at least where I’m at (the south) most are Protestant. I went from being raised as a church kid (Protestant, Pentecostal to be specific), to hanging out with pagans after I left the church, and with a bunch of other groups. Everyone makes fun of Catholics.
