Already there my friend. I don't buy crap. I don't play AAA titles. I don't pay full price for most games. I haven't been to a theater in ages.

I just watched the last avengers a few months ago. It was a boring dumpster fire. I have no idea what the hell anyone is proud of. The previous one actually took a little risk, and the last one just magically undid it all. Boring.

I heard a movie reviewer on YouTube say something that stuck with me. "I can forgive bad. Bad movies took a chance and failed. But they tried. The worst kind of movie, is a boring one."

Ask yourself, is ANYTHING going to happen in the last star wars? Is there ANY chance of Ray dying, or becoming evil, or having ANYTHING happen to her that she herself is incapable of defeating without someone else's help? Is there ANY chance of Finn becoming evil, or dying? No. No. and No. Even though they somehow defeat "the biggest evil ever", the next movie they're somehow back even stronger. And somehow they're the only ones fighting "the evil" yet the entire UNIVERSE won't stand and give them some aid (at least under the table)? My butthole.

Disney is also pandering to China, and while I love their culture, I do not for an even ounce support China's government nor think AMERICAN companies should be censoring AMERICAN movies for CHINESE government approval. For example, if you ever wanted the idea of gay people existing in Star Wars, ha ha ha, good luck now.

OH MY GOD. GET OUTER WORLDS NOW. I feel like a kid again. I'm so. happy.

I have a JavaScript library that gives me a UI to create the quotes. If you quote exactly then it's still fast. If you don't, Allegro.cc will have to iterate through every post to try to find which one you're quoting,... You can probably just fill in garbage too: <quote name="Chris Katko" src="garbage">.

I'm taking advanced Java for school, and we have an eight-week "final project" thing. The instructor let me choose the project. Since at my job, we do pair programming, I thought "why not a pair managing service."

The back end will be a Java (of course) RESTful API using Spring and the front end will be a basic React app using JavaScript (of course). Look, Chris Katko's two favorite programming languages! (I'm just jostling you.)

I don't like vaping or smoking, but even I'll admit the former is much less harmful (except for the black market vape juice that has been making people sick recently).

There's also the possibility that they were vaping illicit thc capsules, but didn't want to admit to it.

I don't understand what people have against just breathing in air. There are definite problems with vaping, all vaping. I researched it because I felt it would be a great way for my wife to quit smoking. She has a VERY hard time quitting, but after some research I discovered all sorts of problems with it and concluded that you're only swapping one harmful addiction for another.

Personally, I quit smoking when I was 27, just went cold turkey and I was over it in a few weeks, and year later I didn't want the things around me. Plus at the time I put aside money I used to spend on smokes to buy a new computer (an Amiga 500 at the time), which helped as well. Been paying for upgrades with the same amount of money each month ever since.

Who would have thought that coating your lungs in moisture could cause pneumonia?!

It is the tar and junk in cigarette smoke that makes one susceptible to pneumonia... Albeit, inhaling anything foreign into your lungs presents some added risk, but some things are far far worse than others...

I bought some starter kits years ago to try to get my brother and his wife to switch. I tried it out first, and then I think I bought them a kit or something. I forget. That was years ago. They wouldn't at the time. Idiots.

My uncle just died a little over a year ago from lung cancer. Mid-50's. We thought he was relatively healthy. Of course, he always covered up his smoking around us because his parents didn't approve. He was somewhat destructive because he got fucked in a bad marriage, and the courts favour women. His wife was allegedly cheating on him with another man, she left, and eventually ended up with full custody of the children and an alimony on top. And he killed himself with alcohol and cigarettes basically. Cigarettes won that competition. Anyway, I sympathize.

We thought he just had a bad cold/flu. He missed Easter supper for it. He went to hospital for it shortly after, and they declared it pneumonia. Further tests revealed that he had advanced lung cancer, and it was irreversible. He died about 2 weeks after going into hospital. I didn't get a chance to see him (initially we didn't realize it was so serious, and by the time we knew it was recommended to "remember him as he was"). The really hard part is that he was perhaps the "elder" that I most related to. And despite the many years that I could have visited and perhaps even helped to ease his pain I never did. It was just awkward. My grandmother died a few months earlier, and I couldn't really "feel" it because we knew it was likely (also cancer). For him, in part because it was unexpected and sudden, and he was so young, and perhaps building up from my grandmother, I wept uncontrollably when I got home. For hours. I mean, I set the mood to do it. I wanted to. But I was able to, whereas I couldn't when my grandmother died. I think it affected me somewhat when he died. It felt sort of like a premonition or foreshadowing. Anyway, it was a very hard loss.

Cigarettes are not a joke. Honestly, if you're still smoking cigarettes in 2019 give yourself a HARD slap in the face, and STOP IT now. If you're trying to kill yourself I guess that's your business. Though at least you could lobby your government(s) to provide better health care services to people like you, and for the law to treat you more fairly (if you are suffering a similar fate as my uncle). If you don't intend to die prematurely nor abandon your family then seriously commit to quitting smoking. No matter who you are there are people that will miss you. That's not always clear to all of us, but again lobby your government for better mental health care.

It's a shame that we can't figure out a way to control a substance without fueling criminal enterprises. I'm not sure if a solution exists, other than education and perhaps social assistance for people trying to quit. We can provide both medical substitutes and counseling... That's about it...

I never really understood smoking. I tried it various times, but I never inhaled. I guess the education I was provided was enough to scare me away from it. Thankfully. I was so wary that when I tried smoking weed for the first time a very powerful joint did NOTHING to me because I was so accustomed to smoking without inhaling. I had to research how to even inhale because I couldn't do it naturally.

Swimming increases your chances for pneumonia but directly inhaling water doesn't? Really guys?

I'm not saying "don't vape". But come on.

bamccaig is dead right. Don't smoke kids. Please.

I've been a smoker for nearly 25 years now, and I feel worse than ever. If I don't quit smoking soon, I may not have much time left.

I don't know how I feel about vaping. I won't comment.

Well eff you guys. I'm a fish and I need water to breathe. :/
