This nonsense again? John Hislop runs a gambling blog for money, and published this googlebait years ago to get sweet SEO candy. Clearly it's still working.

Well if we can redefine words where “center” becomes “far left” and “antisemitic” means exclusively “antizionist,” why can’t we redefine memes and yes, seo people who abuse seo are still the devil.

Pal, buddy, why are you bringing such politics into this?

Doggy dog world

It's a dog eat dog world. Bone apple tit!

It's bon appétit. They're a diamond dozen!

It's "a dime a dozen". As they say, knowledge is power, France is bacon.

It's Francis Bacon, the author that said "Knowledge is power". Come on now, this is easy enough to look up...it's not rocket appliances.

It's rocket science. But we'll cross that bridge when we cum on it.

The expression you're looking for is "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it" Not that it matters, it's all water under the fridge anyway, mostly a moo point.

Come on, man, it's "water under the bridge". I want to contribute but it felt like we were drifting into malaphors there for a second, so I'm gonna play it by year and just see what comes next.

Not to be rude, but it's actually "play it by ear". I'm trying to come up with something witty to say, but I'm dropping a blank.

I don't want to beat under the bush so I'm just going to say it. You should have said "drawing a blank ".

Hey man just want to correct you so you don't embarrass yourself, it's beat around the bush. Good thing I nipped that in the butt.

It's nip it in bud - which is not the nipple of a human, but the bud of a rose. Sorry for being so pedophile.

A pedophile is a kiddie diddler; you're thinking of "pedantic." But, that's just my two scents on the matter.

I'm sorry to correct you, but it's actually nipped in the bud. I'd hate for you to use that in public and get egg on your plate.

You mean “drawing a blank.” It’s like you can lead a whore to water but you can’t make a drink.

Also it's actually not that hard to quit smoking. I've quit smoking four times.

On a serious note, there is a type of natural Antidepressant in cigarette smoke (MAOIs) which you come off of like 2 weeks delayed because it has a type of reservoir in the body. So once you quit you can get like delayed withdrawal symptoms.

Yeah, can confirm, though it was usually around a week for me. First couple of days are rough, then you start feeling better, then a few days later you feel like shit again.

Yeah not sure about the time frame. For me it wasn't too bad because I switched to vaping so I still had nicotine. But it would have helped if I had known why I was suddenly in such a super bad mood for a few days haha.

When I used to smoke I made the new years resolution ever year 'to stop more often next year'

I go on holiday more nowadays, feels like a better use of the money

That is fucking hilarious! Is what a 15-year old high-schooler would say!

Close. It's from someone that a 15 year old high schooler might be assigned to read.

WC Fields? I doubt a single 15 year old in America knows who that even is. The point is that the joke is almost a hundred years old. Do you want to do Who's on First too?

This is me with Coke Zero

My favourite tweet possibly ever

This is so absurd. It sounds like it comes from one of those AI presidents-playing-minecraft videos on youtube.

I still can't believe twitter made Donald Trump a Potus. It has to be one of the wildest stories in our country's history.

Don't forget that enough people were so impressed with his fuckery that there's a very real danger that he'll be given a second shot at it.

Trump drinks diet coke and would never call himself not thin.

This is me with vodka

And me, switching from stinky cigarettes to candy flavored vape. I thought a month or two max. It’s been three. Time to fix that. Look out world (fr). Maybe since it’s warmer, my bike is fixed and I’ve almost gotten the interior of my home back in order, it won’t be so difficult when I replace those nicotine hits with dopamine hits? 😬 🙏🏽

I quit smoking by switching to candy flavored vape. Then I quit vaping and it was easier than quitting smoking.

Yep. This week will be particularly busy/trying, and I expect my current vape to run out Tuesday. Please send good vibes, that I don’t give in to temptations, bite off anyone’s head, or grind my teeth to dust. Tyia.

Good luck! I need to do that with running more.

Thank you! Wishing you the best of luck and gritty determination until you build momentum and the high kicks in again!

I replaced my caffeine habit with a water drinking habit. You truly do swap one addiction for another one, and it's really bonkers how I legit get the exact same withdrawal symptoms if I haven't drank water as I would if I didn't get my coffee

Maybe Freud’s oral fixation theory isn’t so insane, after all. I posit lunder/over emotional nourishment is as credible as a cause as under/overfeeding.

I know, just musing.

Hey, I took your comment as joking. In caseI misunderstood, I wish you all the grit in overcoming your challenges.

I was too, until they changed the formula a year and a half/2 years ago? Started tasting more like Pepsi to me, not a fan. I can do Cherry Coke Zero on occasion, or if I've got a craving I'll do regular Zero with a squirt of orange Miso.

Please tell me miso is a brand and not japanese miso

Oh God - auto correct fucked me. I meant Mio. Like the concentrated drink mix that comes in small bottles that you can add to water.

Oh ok. I have seen those before yet didn't think of them somehow.

You're not alone, stay strong my friend! And keep me a bottle in the fridge

That joke is stolen from Richard Pryor. "I've been doing coke for 15 years and I'm still not addicted." Or something like that.

It's probably a joke as old as the word addiction itself

Older actually. The gentleman who came up with the word addiction was quoted as saying “I’ve been coming up with words for fifteen years and I’m still not…I’ll get back to you.”

Lol’d. It happens!

Btw, did you mean dog-eat-dog?
