nice job @DenaliBlues that's a pretty awesome quit you got going.

a little change of pace. a little motown always makes you feel like moving.

merry xmas. still here

congrats @overcome 5 months is a great start

the banning of toxic substances in and of itself isn't a bad thing. it's the enforcement of the ban. I have been driving down the highway and get pulled over for riding in the left lane even though I was passing someone. I then had my vehicle searched cause his dog decided I had drugs in the car. Not only did the cop tear through all my personal stuff and leave a mess for me to clean up, he decided that the $230 in cash I had for emergencies on my trip was to much for me to be carrying and I must have gotten it from illegal activity and confiscated it (read that as stole it). I was then sent on my way with no ticket, an hour and a half of my time wasted and cashless...only to have it happen again 2 hours later in the same state. the 2nd cop was shit out of luck cuz the first one already took all my cash. I had no drugs on me or in my car but they just "had to check". that is the problem with those types of laws. it's all cool as a mf as long as it's happening to someone else.

yes, because tyranny knows no bounds and freedom comes with responsibility. most people won't do heroin just because it's legal and those that do heroin won't stop just because it's illegal. all it does is give those in positions of power a reason invade everyones privacy to make sure we are in compliance.

congrats @notsmokinjoway to go. that addiction got knocked TF out!!

all this will do is create a black market and set a precedence. there is already a movement to ban meat and push everyone to eating bugs. to smoke or not to smoke is an individual choice. where the problem comes in is when govt's attempt to spread the risk of individual choices over the entire population. it gives them the motivation to control certain aspects of your life which leads them to controlling every aspect of your life. they think you're a little to fat, they will cut your credit card off at the grocery store. they think you aren't getting enough sleep, they'll cut the power off to your house at 8 pm. think it can't happen? if we give them the power they will most certainly take it and guaranteed they will abuse it.

this is insanity. when i was a kid we decorated for xmas on xmas eve and tore that shit down before midnite on new years eve. when they were dropping the ball in Times Square we were lighting the tree on fire and toasting marshmallows over the embers. we keep going down this path and folks be getting christmas lights out while they're still hung over from the 4th of July. please God make it stop!!!

because ignorance is bliss and I'm way to happy.

not only question what you read, but who wrote it and why. what was their agenda for writing what they wrote? there are no shallow rabbit holes.

it's been a minute since i've dropped anything here on my quit thread. maybe that's a good thing, i don't know. some personal family issues arose recently that got me to thinking, what do we really know vs. what we are told and blindly accept as truth. for instance, i'm quite sure that there are 7 and a half billion people in the world. How do I know that? did i count them all or did some person that i don't personally know tell me that? Or worse, was it some faceless entity that claims some kind of authority over everybody to tell us how many of us there are? The fact is I don't know how many people are in this world. Hell I don't even know how many houses are on the street I live on much less the number of people in the world. sometimes we have a willingness to put faith in institutions that may or may not have our best interests in mind. questioning ones world view can be a healthy thing to do especially since we are programmed (and highly effectively I might add) through electronic media. that intentional programming started very shortly after the mass adoption of the radio so if you believe you aren't being programmed you might want to think again. In fact, the more fervently you believe you haven't been programmed the more effectively you have been. Even with smoking Hollywood programmed the men to believe that smoking made them cool and desirable and women to believe smoking made them sexy and desirable and the most sinister part is that we didn't even know it until we realized we were hooked. Now you want to look me in the eye and tell me with a straight face that those same people would stop at cigarettes? You think for a second they would stop at selling a product through sexual innuendo when fear is ten times more effective at manipulating the herd? At any rate, I started doing a little experiment were I would write down something I am 100% sure of and then I would write down how I came to know that particular fact and found out that most of the stuff I "know" I don't even know how I came to know it. Most of it I saw on tv or some video on line but my shields were down and it just got rubber stamped by my psyche as true, and that is just a best guess. Maybe i'll start a thread in Games called "Debunk Yourself" where you take a commonly held fact and then state very truthfully how you came to know said fact. Then the rest of us can pile on and tell you what an idiot you are. sounds like good times. But if I don't start the thread you all can pile on here and tell me I'm an idiot. you wouldn't be wrong and my feelings won't be hurt cause I already know the truth. I am an idiot. it's tough not to be though. Think about it, if the world was hollow who would know/ only those who touched the sky/ the rest of us in invisible chains/ aren't even allowed to try.

Wow @Mac#23 i hope your power stays on. if we got that kind of snow where i am the power would be out for a month. it's pretty but i'm not really a winter kinda person.
