Oh good, I'm too old to be expected to understand wtf this new bit is.

Antici...

But in all seriousness, I know the feeling you're describing, but I also don't have a word for it. It's not a great feeling.

...pation.

Hi, I vape. You're not wrong at all. One day I will quit, but for now it's a psychological crutch (and physical addiction) that is less bad for me than the pack+ a day I smoked for like 9 or 10 years. I didn't take your message as an attack, for the record. Just giving context for the rest. I would never intentionally blow vape in anyone's face and have gone to great lengths to avoid doing so. The only exception to this has been with partners and friends where it's an in thing.

Those same people would have probably blown cigarette smoke in your face, but there was such a negative social connotation. For some reason, people who vape seem to think that because it's not smoke they are magically allowed to blow it in your face now and 'look cool '. For some reason not enough people are decking these individuals, so we're not building that negative connotation properly.

Maybe some of these people are too young to even know that blowing cigarette smoke in someone's face is rude? I'm in my 30s. That feels like more benefit of the doubt than I'm willing to give the overwhelming majority.

Jeez, stop bragging. Some of us are lonely.

I was just complaining to a friend that I think it's fucking absurd that Messenger still doesn't work with webp but I now have an 'imagine' button for making stupid 'AI' art.

I did not know what waffle stomping was. I regrettably do now.

I have not cut my hair in... 10? years.

Appending -ai to your search seems to get rid of most of it.

For Google, append -ai to your search.

It's horrible and I hate it. A partner in the past stopped wearing a velvet item of clothing. Not because I asked - I would never - but because I touched her noticably less when she'd wear it. I cannot stand the feeling.

Edit: peaches don't bother me at all.

I do tend to agree. But I also feel like there's too much we don't know. This guy didn't get a little loaded and suddenly become a prick and she suddenly escalated to having her own personal burning man. They've known each other for years, apparently. This couldn't have been an isolated incident. To me it feels like this was just the proverbial straw. A little liquid courage and marching powder, and we get a crispy Mr Louder.

That all said, I don't actually think this was an appropriate response still. But important to acknowledge what we don't know. Obviously she could just not be friends with the guy, probably.

Thank you for that explanation! I've been pirating for nearly 20 years now and didn't know that.
