Oh yeah it doesn’t matter at all. It’s just fascinating to see how petty people can be.

I don’t get why someone downvoted you. You asked for big messes and this is one and you commented as much. The internet can be weird.

But the way you’ve formatted your first comment is “this thing is a military thing, as can be seen from this fictional military” which doesn’t necessarily imply said thing is fictional even though the military you’ve used as an example is.

“I’m not reading your comments. Or the Wikipedia links. Because reading is dumb! >:(”

I don’t understand how people like you don’t realise how it seems to admit to willfully being ignorant online.

Just because you can’t read more than a single sentence without looking at your phone doesn’t mean we all do. Some of us enjoy reading and writing. And that “some of us” does not contain you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

onto your keyboard and reply with human words instead of having a clanker do the work for you. It’s obvious with your lazy replies

Gee, thanks buddy. I remember like 20 years ago when people used to be super snide much in a similar way as you are now. Only it was “it’s obvious you have wall hacks” because I listened a little bit better than they did. It feels just, so good.

Who the fuck would use an AI to write forum replies? You, probably. Or someone you know. See you accuse me of being friendly with machines when you call yourself “a real machinist.”

Your dumbfounded “I’ll not open your Wikipedia links without explanation”-ignorance is the reason I come to forums like these. I enjoy watching you get upset and project a ton. :)

Time enjoyed is time not wasted.

Oh noo, he insulted my profile picture and said to go be elsewhere. :(

Such brilliance of rhetoric, the mind is positively dazzled in your presence!

Ofc you won’t, you’re a real machinist. Duh.

Also, good call, never know what Wikipedia links lead to. Might mean you’d learn something, shudder.

No, you’re not. You’re just wrong on the internet.

Lol what a fucking strawman.

It’s not magic.

CDs and had this phone stuck up my ass

Kids will think you’re joking, but the vibration on those things was a proper… well, vibrator.

Nothing like getting a text from your crush with your phone in your crotch for her/him having indirectly caused you sexual pleasure.

(Also we did actually have contests on who’d throw their phone the highest without failing to catch it. And the throw were easily 5-15 meters high. And lots of misses. But not a single disabled phone. Small scratches on the covers maybe, but you could also buy new covers so it was no problem.)

It can be a zip file.

Or just a playlist you made on one of those streaming services. Ain’t no difference.

Physical addiction, sure

Except that’s an oxymoron. You mean dependency. That’s a physical thing. Addiction is a brain disorder. They’re actually medically two different things. Like a psychiatrist and a psychologist. Sometimes a thing can be both at the same time, but those two are distinct medical things.

But as a drug I like it

Yeah see that’s the addiction speaking.

an overall benefit to my life and health.

Luckily I’ve never heard this from people who shoot up amphetamines and go to work (driving a HGV) and think their boss can’t see they’re high as balls. Oh wait, yes I have.

so I do not think smoking anything is good for you.

And who would argue otherwise? Cannabis can be used without staining one’s teeth, unlike coffee. Just eat it.

We’re not doing a comparison between coffee and cannabis, because this thread didn’t start with me saying “cannabis has never been proven harmful”, because I know that’s not true. You however you said is “coffee has never proven to be harmful”. Yes it has. Very clearly and obviously and there’s tons of data on it.

Honestly, this is like listening to some old smelly smoker puffing unfiltered rollups tell me how unhealthy vaping is.

I don’t care about your addictions, you’re welcome to have them. But to pretend it isn’t an addiction and is actually healthy for you is more ridiculous than those “you can’t get addicted to weed” bros.

Not to mention that caffeine is a more risky and harmful drug than cannabis, except for when it comes to first-time inebriation, where cannabis slightly takes the lead.

70% of daily users get physical withdrawal if they skip their daily fix.

Physical. Withdrawal.

Caffeine makes you much more likely to hear auditory hallucinations. We had one coworker at a phone dispatch, who yelled loud af and always banged her keyboard constantly, some sort of neurosis. She was literally banned from doing orders that the govt paid for because of her massive error rate, because she was always so amped on caffeine as to be half-blind. No-one drunk the shit she made. It was like tar. And she had like a dozen cups during the working day.

“Healthy” yeah sure.

If your daily caffeine fix is not an addiction and just for your health, would you believe my daily wake&bake is also just for health reasons and carries absolutely zero risk?
