  • The issue is that they are NOT doing this for healthcare costs, or any other reason other than telling others what they can do. If it was for healthcare costs, it would be everyone, so you can rule that out from jump. So why did they say 18 and under, because they weren’t sure if they could get a large enough following to say yes is they went to high, so divide and conquer. Find enough people who don’t care about the minority, and they can get it to pass. Why 18… Because they mostly have no say. If we relabeled it to non-whites can’t buy cigarettes, people would be like woah that’s racist, but the attempt would be the same, trying to control what others can or can’t do while not restricting enough of the majority to lose their votes.

    Under 18 can’t smoke is like saying under 30 can’t cat call people on the street, under 40 can’t slap their coworkers on the ass, under 50 can’t beat their children, and under 60 can’t rape minors.

    Either they are all bad/wrong for society… and should be banned for all, or they are manipulating votes as a plot to slide something else by under peoples noses while playing it up to look like a good guy


















  • Someone gave us one of those salt lamps (bottom middle) when I lived in Florida. I thought my spouse put a glass of cold water on the table it was on and forgot about it till the next day and cleaned up the table forgetting the sweat. So I cleaned it up. Next day the same thing. I picked the salt up and realized it was slowly melting. The humidity was just so high the salt would absorb as much water as it could, then when it couldn’t hold anymore apparently just leak it on the table. Ended up putting a towel under it, then just throwing it away and buying a dehumidifier.



  • My spouse was still sleeping earlier so I tried to sneak into the room to grab my phone I left on the nightstand. When I was walking out I stepped on a stuffed mouse on a string (usually hangs from a doorframe so the cat can play with it but he pulled it down apparently). When I stepped on it I thought it was a real animal and soon as my foot felt the pressure of pushing down on such an object I jerked it up roughly to my waist, kicked the door I was trying to walk through and it slammed shut.

    One of those moments where you want to apologize, but really then you are just causing more noise to wake them up further.

    Tldr; I’m an idiot
