Former heavy smoker here, quit two decades ago. It creates a strong craving, which briefly supplies pleasure when you appease it. It provides (or at least used to) social connection with other smokers, particularly at “smoking breaks”.

And it gives you something recognizable to do while waiting for something. Rather than sitting there, staring out with a stupid look on your face, you instead sit there smoking a cigarette.

It’s an incredibly difficult addiction to break, it’s expensive, and these days identifies you as either very old or more or less a loser. Avoid, avoid.

That reminds me, I need to book a flight from here on the west coast to go get my laptop fixed at some obscure shop in N.J. Damn, I wish someone out here was blind enough to fix laptops.

Is that all that was in the bill? I completely mistrust …“vetoed bill that sounds like good stuff” statements as bills are never that clean, there are nearly always poison pill attachments when that seems to be the case.

If they’re made instead of making fossil fuel vehicles, they do (addressing the cartoon, not the barely related added title) . Cars will still be made as many become no longer repairable. Which kind to build? Yes, better to make more electric buses and trains, but cars wont simply vanish in any scenario.

Wondering whether we in the PNW could use our tax $$ to deport some of the MAGA aholes here down to Texas?

It’s not as complicated as portrayed. Everyone has some kind of point. But the people controlling the attacks are pretty much assholes, and the citizens getting killed are innocent victims
