Tobacco is the worst addictive drug in some ways

@undersatan5685 I started when I was 15 and smoked for 40+ years. It really damaged my lungs and I just want to do what I can to put off younger people from not starting. It is a rubbish addiction

@undersatan5685 Yes it is I'm afraid, deny it all you want, but there is a shit-ton of evidence. Setting fire to leaves and inhaling the smoke is bad in general obviously. I have been addicted to various things but it is tobacco that caused me irreversible lung damage which led to COPD

 @lucasgrey9794 I can certainly agree that "tradition" usually represents the forces of reaction and authoritarianism

@lucasgrey9794 The "great man" view of history is thoroughly discredited, you do know that don't you?How about you explain why each one of these were progressives? You're a piece of work Lucas man, I largely agree with you and you start some alt-right BS. Fuck off

@lucasgrey9794 No it isn't Qanon, is is the rebirth of the far-right on the internet. Obviously politics is on a quadrant not a simple right-left line.

@lucasgrey9794 No they are crypto-fascists(or not even crypto just blatantly neo-Nazi), farmers for Trump's cattle etc. Guys that Trump pardoned, e.g. Steve Bannon, the Oath keepers, the Proud boys etc etc

@HonISfirE Normal life is a concept. "Not normal" means "abnormal". I don't think most people want an "abnormal life". They probably want to get married, get a decent job that they get satisfaction from and raise happy, well adjusted children. Average is a quantitative value which has to refer to a numerical variable. It is a term which does not imply failure. It is your sort of vague, hand-waving language that self-help grifters employ. Your statement by itself is meaningless. I think many people have an abnormal life thrust upon them, due to poverty, war and disease. Many people around the world regard a normal life as it is lived in Europe or North America as a probably unattainable dream of happiness. The four Horsemen of the Apocalypse do not give a fuck about "normality" man.
