It’s nicotine.

Head spins are when you intake more than you should or are used to. That’s nicotine’s most notorious symptom after having it. Go smoke a 16mg cigarette or put a patch on, you’ll spin and probably puke. Even your vape friends would probably get light headed or spin too.

But then also there’s the matter of it retailing at just $250 a gallon which would last some people up to a decade, most at least half a decade. The other 3 ingredients, water, vegetable glycerine and/or propylene glycol are even cheaper still since it’s in so much food. And that’s all that’s needed. 4 super common and dirt cheap ingredients.

If anyone’s adding things, they’re burning money. If anyone taking the high risk of substituting, they’re doing so for just a couple cents. But I don’t know of anything that could substitute nicotine that doesn’t cost at least 10× the price. It would be one of the moronic business decisions of all time.

You should educate yourself on the topic before asserting wildly incompatible assumptions as truth, them go barreling down conspiracies of how your assumptions are the big problem.

The truth of bad regulation is that nicotine is so cheap, manufacturers could put more in than advertised to give more hit and get users hooked on their brand over others without realising. Trying friends different ones, I’m sure some do. Some have big hits that feel higher mg than they’re meant to be. Is that “the problem” though? Only if true.

Get a dehumidifier.

Ensure ceiling fan rotation is switched on summer mode.

Bag of ice in the freezer to chew on and always have in a drink. Ice trays are no good.

Waterhole.

Office job.

Keeping lights off/low can be psychologically “cooler” for some.

Bed with wet hair or damp towel will help sleep faster.

Wash regularly to scrub “ick” layer and keep fresh skin on top.

Pub.

Ice pack vests. Can DIY. Fucking amazing.

Sit around in your undies and pretend you love it and eventually you do.

Title implies the USA has national parks in other countries 🤣

Seriously, I’m surprised by the lack in the middle and Texas. NPs aren’t all trees. Plenty of our national parks in Australia are arid.

It’s a weird movie. It’s bad, but it’s not bad. It’s disappointing but also cool. I think most people would throw a 7/10 at it, but they’d tell everyone 4/10.

Oh, please. He’s a marketer that mimics. It’s a rinse repeat exploit that’s paid well. He’s like a super efficient Simon Cowell because he doesn’t have to find people with a voice, just keep a close on upcoming artists, blatantly copy them, flog sales. And idiot fans marvel at his broad range in genre and sound like it comes from within lol

Edit: Oh, yeah, and then there’s all the copyright issues he’s constantly in when flying too close to the sun.

I feel that. Every time I need to upgrade a PC part, it’s like going back to the town I grew up in, but 50 years have passed.

Disgusting.

Two please.

you often need to buy it from other countries. For instance, Russia. Not great.

Yeeeeah, I wouldn’t worry about that. Sure we (Australia) are conservative with our fears of mining and exporting uranium, especially with the Cold War and reactor whoopsies around the world. But historically it doesn’t take much for us to go down on an ally.

Just let us finish unloading all our coal off to the worst polluting nations first, then we’ll crack the top-shelf stuff.

Ah, we were taught to avoid the NIV as it was like the Merrium-Webster of translation; a bit more adapted for the modern Pentecost, so obviously it would be lenient compared to traditional translations.

You shall make no idols to yourselves; and you shall not set up for yourselves graven images, or a memorial pillar. And you shall not set up any image of stone in your land in order to bow down to it. For I am Jehovah your God.

He went pretty ape shit about the golden cow—as believable any part of that story goes. Catholics seem to be all about idoloc knick-knacks and getting all stabby and controlling over them… Like, the opposite of what a Christian is meant to do.

Unfortunately it depends on who’s doing it. Who’s creatively in charge and what freedom they get.

At the moment, it’s reliably bad. Even when the vision is good, it’s dominated by invested poo poo.

It’s hard to tell if it was/is logistically effective vs. everyone shitting in it because that’s trendy rn.

With knowing absolutely nothing, I can only assume it’s an excellent concept that will (unfortunately) help a lot in a broad range of situations.

At the moment, plenty of creases to iron out, but it’s not a failure and humanitarian aid can definitely bolster with it.

I really loved your comment. I tried to reply to you, but obv couldn’t. Then tried to PM you, but couldn’t figure it out or I just can’t.

It was really insightful for both perspective on myself and on the community.

Go on…

Just curious if you can.

I have personally yelled, “Fuck off! No means no you fucking creep!” at the top of my lungs in a crowded bar. It was genuine, but over the top so every other person would turn and see them, ruining their chances of “picking up” at that establishment, forcing them to leave.

“Are you okay?”

“Oh, yeah I’m fine. That guy just needed to learn a fucking lesson.”

That does work too, but not on the ones that put shit on you and demand payment, usually operating as 2+. Their tactic is intimidation and drama—playing the victim to you—but it can not be beaten if you’re playing the role of a happy idiot, providing random or exact opposite behaviour to what they’re attempting.

Scammers abroad: Troll with randomness. Laugh at inappropriate times. Nod at them while making the eating food gesture. Randomly start pointing down a street like you’re trying to give directions but just shrug. Pick a random sports team name and say, “Gooooo EAGLES!” while nodding and dancing. Basically pick some random thing, pretend they said it, and you’re going along with it.

If they’re pointing to friendship braclets, you say “9 o’clock.” even though it’s 1:30. If they keep doing it, you just laugh, nod, and clap.

My favourite is pretending I’m deaf and making up signing. When they start gesturing, I repeat the gesture in shock. When they nod, I act disgusted like they’re sick in the head.

They will very quickly move on since you’re a waste of time. The more awkward you make it, the better, especially if you’re drawing looks from others.
