If I don't eat beef, there's not much incentive to create better alternatives so that I don't.

I don't want other people tied up in my feelings for her. I've had two dates in the six months, and yeah, plenty of flirting but it's mostly talk and I don't go much further. There's still shit keeping me from accepting someone else.

I told my cousin I'd hold off on dating until I had more to offer another person other than misery.

By my family for the most part, and anyone else I've talked to regarding divorce, as if it's so matter-of-fact.

I mean I get the idea. If we are absent from eachother's lives, the separation will be that much easier and less like slowly ripping off a band aid.

I'm not surprised, "bro". I fully expected to be a miserable pile of shit. I'm in a divorce from 15 years of marriage.

I get that, and I do my part,... but I recognize the reality that the majority never will, and that's the depressing part.

I, you, everyone you know, everyone they know and their kids could recycle, buy an EV and be a saint, sipping solar from their rooftops until they're 70, and the world would still burn like a matchstick in thirty years.

It's industry, law and utilities that really desperately need the change. Power stations and infrastructure, monetary investment, even.

How much of that is just new users doing their 23rd Arch install?

Not exclusively. Nicotine inhalation traditionally has been in combination with the rest of the chemicals and tar in cigarettes.

Personally... yes? I know some vapers who have been around in the industry for almost 20 years. I've heard reports around x-rays of older vapers coming out nearly the same as a nonsmoker.

The real enemy of nicotine inhalation seems to have more to do with what carries it rather than the nicotine itself.

Not much considering they've basically dipped toes into vaping rather than entire legs.

Most of the vaping industry is independent companies removed from the likes of the usual tobacco figureheads and single-use Vuse and Juul vapes(their brands) were fizzled out years ago.

PM and RJR do have their noses invested in some of those smaller companies, even Altria owned a chunk of Avail Vapor before they went to shit in the late 2010's.

but their investors tend to be more cautious than the "black market" or smaller vape industry of juice bottles, single-use vapes and box mods, and they don't touch Delta 8/10 vapes with a 39.5' pole.

Nextcloud needs a heaping helping of a disclaimer before anyone installs it.

Use the Docker or Podman images, they'll include most things a lot of first time users leave out that render Nextcloud buggy and inconsistent. It includes a cache, and about half of the security issues preconfigured out of the box.

Installing it native from a guide with zero explanation beyond "welp, there's the start page" as the final step really doesn't do much for people and there's a lot of guides out there like that for Nextcloud.

Don't get too down. It's September. Zoom out every now and again and look at every low.

I hope this place burns to the ground

"Dad! Don't say that! What if it actually happened!?"
