Hear, hear! There’s so much detail to pick up on!
Yes. Switched to vaping and was vaping for multiple years before quitting completely. Biggest thing was the “safety” of always being able to have my fix without an actual smoke. The “never again” mentality made it so hard to ditch the cancer stick but the vape was always like “it’s ok, you can just have a little puff whenever you feel like it”. Slowly down the nicotine content. Puff less. Even less. At some point I just forgot. Still have the vape. Still have the liquid, albeit it’s dark red now and looks radioactive so utterly unusable. But point is that the vape eventually faded into irrelevance in a way that cigarettes never could.
Oh man, I forgot about the bicentennial man 🤖😢
That’s when you start looking deeper. Pick up birding as a hobby. Start caring for plants. Consider woodworking. Not per se because of the hobby but because you’ll start noticing more and more detail everywhere around you.

Thanks for the reply! No, I wasn’t thinking about any “real” criminal activity. I’m from Germany and thus I’m very outspoken against the systematic murder of minorities. I may have peacefully protested at times and always wonder if China has my face stored somewhere on a server ready to barr me from access to their country, should I ever want to visit, which is unlikely.
Genuine question, so if I can’t enter China for… reasons…, does that mean the Kiwis won’t let me vacation in the Shire?
This is genuinely amazing. Thanks!!

Tankies are a pejorative term for left-wing, often communist, supporters of authoritarian regimes they see as anti-imperialist or socialis, it now broadly includes defenders of governments like China or North Korea. Critics argue tankies overlook human rights abuses, prioritizing geopolitical stability over true socialist values.
Are the hookers part of the contract?
Summoning Salt is legit!
Ya know there’s caring about religion and there’s curiousness. I don’t care about the catholics but I’m curious about the torture methods of the Spanish Inquisition…
