I concede that the moment the butt is on the ground, it's not cool. Downright gross in fact.

But the act of flicking the butt is cool.

I happen to be somewhat of an expert on what is cool and what isn't. Trust me bro.

Smoking is cool, like it or not. Flicking a butt is style.

1992 Pepsi commercial sure made drinking pop seem cool.

Whoops.

Wrong thread

Smoking makes cool people look cooler, but makes trashy people look trashier. It kind of a neat little thing that way. Like torn and frayed jeans.

Vaping is more neutral. Though people who vaping using those big honkin units look like total dorks.

“Bro you got any vape juice?”

No, loser. Pod life forever.

Seeing an attractive women light a cigarette is not cool. it's disgusting and a total turn off.

Cigs or nothing, buy the ticket take the ride. If you vape you’re a dork no arguments no concessions. Nerrrrrd

Yup, especially:

Laundromats
Bars with VLTs
AIDREP classes
Convience stores that are not 7-Eleven or Circkle K

My Monday mood hasn't been this healthy in weeks.

"Going to work in sunlight" has done nothing but just place the sun square in my eyes and mirrors on the morning drive for another few weeks. I'd prefer the darkness.

Always live east of where you work.

Or above, if you're lucky like me.

Best part of WFH was taking up smoking so I could do it in every Zoom meeting.

They ain't asking me back anytime soon.

You know...its funny that you say that but...I know a lot of people who took up smoking during the Pandemic.

Which, I find of ironic to take up smoking during what was...a largely respiratory-system destroying disease.

You’re talking about the same people that panic hoarded TP, because of a respiratory disease.

Dont even get me started on the goddamned hand-sanitizer.

Goddamn...that was a wild ride. What a time to be alive.

Funny story, I was in a pharmacy picking up some stuff for my office at the outset of the Pandemic and, lo and behold, there was a pack of TP there, I knew my office was down to our last 2 rolls and it was the last pack there.

So I bought it.

And who was in line at the cashier? Oh yes. One of my clients.

"You too??"

Ya know...regular people still need to buy regular amounts of TP. Its not like I'm here with 5 cases like a lunatic or anything, I grabbed a single unit.

[Brendone]

Yeah, it was embarrassing to buy TP because you were legitimately down to the last couple rolls. “Really, I’m not a moron! We really need this!”

The hand-sanitizer and Lysol wipes were a different story, that was batcrap nuts.

My receptionist had to wipe down every surface after every client right up until the point where the Government locked us down and that stuff was hard to get.

Remember when people were wiping down boxes and grocery containers? We didnt know anything!

I mean I think we mostly made the best decisions we could with the information we had at the time. But I now look back with irritation.

I was wiping down groceries when I was hearing catching Covid was like 1 lethal Skittle per pack of Skittles, and it was the most transmissible thing ever. Neither was true.

Then I pulled my kid out of school and activities when I thought there was just as much chance of a child dying as anyone else. Again. Untrue.

After getting vaccinated, I assumed it was like the childhood vaccinations, and would prevent you from getting or transmitting Covid. Again, wrong. Hence me catching Covid 3 times after getting vaccinated. Which showed me that it was less severe than the flu for me.

In hindsight... kind of feels like we stopped down the world for the sake of the elderly?

In particular shutting schools - sacrificing the young for the old feels like a massive mistake brought about by having geriatrics at the levers of government.

Happy to be wrong on any of the above BTW.
