There is data to show nicotine might have a performance increasing effects on people. However, the idea is more that you ingest a safe amount via methods that are not smoking/chewing.

then you likely need to wash them now, like right now

Don't worry guys, it is just scenes from a video game

Yeah, show up a day early to your office job, and find out that they don't have the system set-up for you to be there. Then go home, while everyone there thinks you got the start day wrong.

this combined with them really pushing to make recording the police a felony

Well, this is a solid admission that they are going to use deep fakes to influence elections.

"Texas is a coping mechanism disguised as a state" gonna be stealing that quote

The IDF loves recording themselves committing war crimes, and posting them on telegram.

I have been dumped for not expressing emotion, and crying, due to tragic things happening.

Let me guess, DOGE bros didn't know what it was?

There is an old man in my building, who got into video games about 10 years ago, when his wife died. When I first moved in I played games with him fairly often. After I knew him about a year, he exposed himself as racist. So I just faded away from interacting with him, too old to bother lecturing, so I just stopped socializing with him. I do see him around, and we make small talk, in the halls, elevator, etc.

Anyway, now that you have context, I ran into him in the elevator when Shadows first came out. He said he had been playing it, and asked if I had. I said I didn't then told him I was a little surprised he bothered with it. He said "Cause you play a colored samurai?" I said that I figured it wouldn't be his thing, a lot of people didn't like the idea. He replied "He was a real person, though" I told him a lot of people were mad about it, he said "it's just a game". So, if a racist, 83 year old, man didn't see the issue here, these people have to be seeking things to be mad about. He doesn't do much online though. Only social media he does is look at FB when his kids tell him they posted new pics of the grand kids, or whatever. This is purely a symptom of being terminally online.

I was banned from an amusement park because, many years ago. They sold drinks, in cups, that were shaped like bongs. My friend and I were sitting in a small pavilion area, that was in a rather remote corner of the park. We were smoking cigarettes, which was fine where we were, and my friend and I were talking about turning the cup into a bong. At one point he stuck his face on the opening like you would a bong. Some people, in the next pavilion over, were staring at us, then left. We were punk kids, like the music, so we were kinda used to random people staring at us, and we thought nothing of it.

About 20 minutes pass and a cop walks up to us. He asks us to turn over our paraphernalia, and leave the park, and he wont arrest us. We give him a WTF look, and say what paraphernalia? He says people reported seeing us smoking from a large, purple, water pipe. Friend says "you mean like this?" and holds up the cup. He looks at it for a good 10 seconds, and then says yeah that looks like a bong, I can see why they may have thought that. He then told us about how he was a punk, pulled up his sleeves to reveal GBH, and Casualties, tattoos. We commented on how he isn't a punk, now that he is a cop, those things are mutually exclusive. Short conversation on punk ethics ensues. He then says sorry for bothering us, and walks away. About 10 minutes later we are walking back into the main area of the park when we see punk cop walking with a man and starts flagging us down. The man is the park manager, and even though the cop straight up said it was a cup THEY SOLD, he wanted us kicked out, and trespassed. Cop asked us if we were going to leave now that we are asked, and we said yes, and left. However he stopped us at the gate demanding the cop get our IDs to put on file, cop tells him we left when asked, he can't actually write us up as a trespass if we leave upon request, unless we come back. So we started walking back to our car, and as we are getting up to it, the manager runs, literally runs, up to us and takes pictures of us, and our car.

Thing is, our friend circle included the daughter of the owner of the park. So we called her and told her what happened. Ban pulled, though that same manager was still there the next time we went, so he wasn't fired. We also refer to that guy as punk cop to this day.

not only that, but people usually use boomer, in this context, to say that the complaint is stupid, or selfish, or something

the gradual loss of ownership is a real fucking issue

This reads like creative writing. This is the form of someone that went into the situation specifically to document this like a documentarian, not like someone who had a short conversation with their aunt. I could be absolutely wrong, but when anecdotes online read this way, my default is to reject their veracity without further evidence.

On September 11, 2025, The Wall Street Journal issued a caution regarding its earlier report on an internal law-enforcement bulletin concerning the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk. The bulletin had mentioned ammunition found near the scene with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology” engravings, but the Justice Department indicated the report might not accurately reflect the messages on the ammunition as the probe was in its early stages.

This is statement from the WSJ

Dropped this for jellyfin years ago

Yes I have seen cowpee, and others, disregard any information from any western organization, government, university, etc. Then, when someone did the same with information coming from china, cow said they were clearly to immature to have a rational, good faith, argument.

Western media is just propaganda, doesn't mean everything they say is wrong. Same goes for the media branches of the CCP.

I mean a less harsh version of that has been going on. Trump has ejected many people that used to be in his inner circle, and has, or has tried, to fire almost the whole federal government, too many people who got there without him to trust

At least anon can identify that his impulse is bad

they are implying you are the orange shirt guy
