Seems pretty honest to me. Pay a few bucks for a pack, ignore the warning label even though everyone knows they cause cancer, puff a lot, get cancer. Granted, I don't like smoking cigarettes but I don't see how they're a scam. I don't see anyone running around saying they're good for you. Same argument can be made for alcohol. Government isn't going to ban tobacco, but wont get in the middle of all the stuff that's been added to them to raise the cancer rates from using them because they've also been done to make them more addictive and government loves that tax money. For me, that's the scam, former smoker here, that is not afraid to go hit a hooka but terrified of vape pens because I feel like they are designed to get me back on cigarettes. Another thing government turned a blind eye to until it started undoing all the work they put in to get kids to stop smoking cigarettes.

You look cool if you imagine yourself to look like Sean Connery circa 1973 and not just a gross incel (which is what you are). No health benefits, they actually kill you (but don’t tell you that part). But you are addicted immediately and cant live without them due to a physical dependency. Meanwhile, they are like $10 a pack, and if you are good and addicted, you HAVE TO smoke an entire pack every day. So $4000 a year or more which is probably 20% of your garbage salary. You smell like ****, adding to your un****ability. Then, after a solid life of being disgusting, you get to have lung or throat or mouth cancer and die the horrible death you deserve for your stupidity.

gbear Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Free will. How close are we to being able to predict a person's actions in a given situation based on chemistry in their brains? If all of our decisions can be modeled out, how long till all of humanity can play out in a computer simulation faster than we live it? Maybe the Calvinists got it right...

Renegade7 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Catching up on an actual holiday... Look, if you actually stay in touch, there's no need to dread the potential of multiple 1-2 hour conversations to see how the year went catching up...and no one has time for that while cooking or opening presents anyway. Treat every holiday like Valentines Day, if you looking at it as a make up day regarding a relationship with anyone, you doing it wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I don't know if scam is the right word, but colleges have a lot of nerve asking alumni for money after already receiving the price of a modest house in tuition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta give it to her, that is a slick ass move. I don’t presume to know how long y’all been married but that has the feel of a veteran all over it lol. My wife just catches me chillin and starts talking until she runs out of tasks. I try to ignore her, or slip into a coma, but it just doesn’t stop.

My parents paid in to ss all their lives and died before retirement and i got 300 from ss as a death benefit. A reall “retirement” account would atleast give you what you paid into it….
