Couple of reasons in my experience. Cigarettes have a generous butt, and are pretty structurally sound, which makes them pretty easy to handle that way, and you can ash with a simple flick of your thumb. Joints often have no butt, or just some folded up but of paper or some other dodgy bullshit, so there’s far less to grab onto. They’re also often pretty flimsy, and fall apart easily. So holding them that way gives you better control and is more gentle on the joint.
Because in capitalist America, you only get financial help if you don’t need it.
Sounds like a 13 year old edge lord with a lot to learn about the world. Pretty normal and hopefully he will grow out of it in the next 5 years or so.
Don’t mean to sound insulting, but sounds like you have a lot to learn too if you’re hung up on someone like this.
We all think stupid things at that age. Getting out into the real world cures a lot of people. Some are sufficiently privileged that they never get out into the real world - those ones become CEOs and senators, some are incurable - they become some version of maga.
Just try to remember that everyone has their own history, hangups, and demons. We’ve all got our own battles to fight, and most people just want to live their lives and be left alone.
I never understood it, and I grew up on 80s action movies. Love Arnie, Bruce, Sylvester (before maga), even Chuck. But never got into James Bond at all.
There have always been Nazis in America, even during WW2. Listen to Rachel Maddow’s podcast “ultra” to hear about how close they came to a takeover of the US way back then. They never went away, they just went low profile for a while.
You didn’t wake up, this is hell.
I believe the US is a failed state. trump just decided that himself and his AG are the only people who can decide which laws apply to the executive, and ordered the termination of all remaining Biden era US Attorneys. I know we’ve been saying this a lot lately, but it feels like a mask off moment.
What types of inputs do you need? So far all I can find in Australia is 1 to many all HDMI. Worst case scenario you might need a bunch of speciality whatever to HDMI adaptors and feed them all into a HDMI switch.
In what way is he your boyfriend? He doesn’t sound like he is. Poly is really hard, and it’s full of shitty people who use it as a justification for being shitty. Sounds like you need to do a whole bunch of work on yourself right now, and it doesn’t really sound like either of your “partners” are good for you.
