  • I had such a nasty smokers cough and spit up such nasty brown shit all day, especially in the morning, when I smoked cigarettes. I vape now, and I definitely still feel like it’s harming my lungs, no question about that, but instead of being out of breath all the time, I only get out of breath when I’m actively vaping, and I don’t cough so loud I wake up people two houses down anymore. Quitting vaping is definitely hard though, nicotine intake is instant and higher because there’s no built in “quit” like when you finish a cigarette.












  • It’s so bad. Even in high school I knew a lot of people who were illiterate 20 years ago, but it’s gotten even worse nowadays. I made sure to teach my young brothers to read before they were a few years old, because school was never going to teach them. I was always a voracious reader, and I think a lot of it comes down to being read to as a child, which made me want to read ASAP. I think the alienated and disaffected parents these days don’t have the energy for that, and so we have entire generations of iPad kids. Don’t get me wrong, I was a gamer kid, but you could only replay Mario World so many times, and so I’d end up reading books, but now the slop is available as a non-stop intravenous drip feed custom tuned to light up your dopamine receptors. Without boredom, people never do anything that challenges them I feel.
