My mom with COPD tried vaping to try to get off cigarettes and quit after she the culture it spawned. So now she's back to hacking her lungs out every time she tries to finish a sentence. Thanks vapists for helping my mom back on her way to an early grave!

Your Computer posted:Is this vape culture thing an American phenomenon? Literally the only person I know who vapes is my mother, as a way to quit smoking (and it worked great, I'm really proud of her ) My mum read a book by Allen Carr and just stopped smoking, and she doesn't vape either. She did the right thing, imo.

The tagline was "Some thing are really weird. *pic of watermelon goggles dude* Church shouldn't be. *name of church*" That's not even a weird stock image, its just a Saskatchewan Rough riders fan.

i’m not against vaping, but man, vaping two inches from my face on the subway is a ridiculous rear end in a top hat kind of move. this dude was billowing like he was auditioning for the role of haunted house fog machine. the humidity in the whole car changed, he was ruining haircuts. just jump starting the water cycle. condensation was dripping down my glasses, people were slipping off poles, it was chaos. it was like watching one man try to terraform the moon. a planet with one dense, root beer scented atmosphere blocking out the sun and choking all life.

So in a FB group, someone talked about how there was some kind of Steampunk thing in the park, and one of them creepily told his friend that she'd look really hot in a corset. That started a discussion about how Steampunk is probably as AUG as Furries or Bronies, even then at least they aren't romanticizing a period in history with massive social injustice and an acceptance of genocide and colonialism around the world. Nope, its an excuse to wear top hats, googles and have silly facial hair. Anyways, we started making GBS threads on Steam Powered Giraff and then I discovered there are tons of lovely Steam Punk bands are they're all AUG as gently caress Every single one of these bands has a guy who insists on being called "the Professor". They also look like they smell like a basement.

The funny thing is that early Steampunk actually played into how hosed it would have been if the world had been stuck in the industrial revolution with all the dangerous poo poo and attitudes that existed back there that never changed. But nerds ruin everything

But nerds ruin everything Yea, I remember ages ago reading a short steam punk story which was about how the Zulu's had been given the steampunk tech by the Prussians and used it against the British, and the brits were shown to be the bad guys. Now its like "The Victorian age was so cool...". Worst statement I ever heard from a steampunker "It was a great time, everyone knew their place". Yea, Rich White West European Men on top, everyone else at the bottom.

Nope, its an excuse to wear top hats, googles and have silly facial hair. I ran into a steampunk guy at a bar a few nights ago. He was wearing a top hat with goggles and several cogs on it. He had brought a portable chess board with him and every few minutes he'd walk up to a girl and as if instead of staring at her phone all night would she rather indulge in a mentally stimulating game of chess and riveting conversation about philosophy. There weren't any takers.

You know, if he'd just asked "would you like to play chess?" he may have had some luck. He had to add all that other crap to it and was probably asking the wrong women. I notice that weird awkward nerds always fixate on, for lack of a better term, conventionally hot women. There are lots of weird girls out there that may not look like a supermodel, but are a lot more approachable. What am I saying though? These are the kinds of guys who say "0/10 wouldn't bang" to Scarlet Johannson and Jennifer Lawrence. Oh I should probably post the picture that started it the lady in the background is the one who was told about wearing a corset. She has a "Oh please god take me anywhere but here".

It is usually a woman, maybe mid 20s, and she looks as if she has been dragged there by friends of friends and is too polite to say no. They usually have that same look of revulsion, fear and tension that this poor girl does as they try through gritted teeth to sidestep the thousand fedora-ed miladies that are thrown their way.
