Karate Bastard posted:Ok so people keep saying this but I never really understood what it means. Like is it the new "moron"? Or "dingus"? Like, "you fuckface"? KnifeWrench posted:It's a verb. Substitute in something else people bring up insufferably: "We get it. You run marathons." "We get it. You don't eat meat." On top of that, vaping can be very ostentatious. If you see someone using one of those box mods, they're often set to blow huge clouds. On a humid, calm day, it's pretty easy to obscure a scene (on a much smaller scale) like that. And of course, even for those who use vaping as a way to quit smoking, it has a tendency to turn into a very  hobby that they're happy to talk about at length whether you want to hear about it or not.  For relevant content:  Edit: I'm not sure if that was considered breaking tables, but it seemed way too big on my screen. Turned it into a timg.

Megillah Gorilla posted:The word you were looking for there was 'obnoxious'. I said exactly the word I intended to say.  Because... bike tory posted:Vaping is fine, it's people who take it on as a loving identity that are obnoxious and lovely. Same with how smoking weed is chill and good but people who wear weed leaf patterned clothes and spend all their time talking about it are the loving worst. I think that goes for just about any part of consumer culture, basing your identity or forming a community based on the products you consume is shallow and obnoxious. Mammal Sauce posted:So does vaping have to involve huge clouds twice the size of the fedora'd slob sucking on his robot dick, or are those the coal rollers of the vaping world? Okay. A bit of  here, a bit of  here.Vapes spun out of e-cigs, and both are nominally smoking cessation devices. Some people can quit smoking with the little e-cigs, but other people need something that mimics the feel of smoking as well. In the latter case, the addiction is less to the nicotine and more to the feel of smoking. That's the origin of all these The problem came when people saw it, started saying "oh hey that looks cool," and it became the new thing. Very seldom will you find people who use them to quit smoking tobacco say that non-smokers should pick them up in the first place. Obviously yes, I vape and I have a "robot-dick," but I also smoked tobacco for 15+ years. The above is personal experience and stories from having hung around e-cig forums for years - well before vaping became popular. #ididitbeforeitwascool etc. And just so I have some content so I'm not technically contributing to the derail...    And now I'm going to go back to lurking this thread.

Karate Bastard posted:Haha you vape More properly, "We get it Epsilon, you vape." Except I was trying not to be "that guy." Usage is more like... Someone rolling down the street with a car that's loud for the sake of being loud - "We get it, you have a small penis." (in other words, they're compensating for something.) Alternately, "We get it, you have a loud car." Someone who is at a BBQ, talking loudly about how terrible the meat industry is and how could we hurt all those cute fuzzy animals - "We get it, you're vegan." Someone who is blowing massive clouds in people's faces and keeps talking about how cool it is and brings it up out of context and won't STFU when you're obviously not interested - "We get it, you vape." Someone who keeps talking about how much better PC games are when people are talking about console exclusives - "We get it, you're PC master race." So... more like a dismissive way to say "yeah, we get it, but you're being really obnoxious about whatever you're talking about/doing." To give counterpoints to the examples, you wouldn't say the same thing to: Someone who is on a racing strip of some sort Someone who is staying away from the grill and just eating their vegetables Someone having a vape away from the crowds/near the smokers Someone who just doesn't engage in conversations about consoles, or excuses themselves when they come up. I live in Seattle and saw that fog, and "we get it, you vape" was my first thought. It was so bad at some points that it was obscuring buildings that weren't even 100 feet away. Also, heh, Phanatic's friend apparently lives really close to me - I just realized what building that was and what angle that's from. DontMockMySmock posted:Okay, so you quit smoking by vaping instead. Good for you, honestly, that's great. We get it DontMockMySmock, you're a non-smoker.

Milo and POTUS posted:I must be missing something because I read that like 5 times and I keep not seeing it I'll take the hit on this - I edited it out, but I didn't want to announce it unless someone wanted to make a fuss about it. It wasn't strictly a slur (more like casual racism,) but it was a term typically used to refer to loud Japanese cars when I was younger. I'm not exactly a car person in the first place, so I fell back on what "everyone" called them back then.  Edit: And to be clear, I'm not defending it. No sense in leaving it there though - it's called out, and I'll hopefully remember not to say it next time I talk about cars something like 10 years from now.
