I quit smoking cigarettes using a “box mod” in 2016 and gradually tapered down from a very high nicotine blend to 0 nicotine using 100% vegetable glycerin and peppermint flavoring and then I finally literally lost my vape and just never bothered to replace it…
So anyways, I started smoking over 30 years ago and I don’t vape or smoke anymore.
If you lived in the US, your numbers (and your memory) are absolutely incorrect.
Editing to add info:
Assuming the previous commenter is actually 40 years old and lived in the US, the minimum wage would have either been $4.75 or $5.15 when they were 14 (not $3.25)…
In fact, minimum wage in the US has never been $3.25.
Why would anyone be proud of something they had zero control over?
It’s extremely stupid.
If there’s anything people should take pride in it would be their own work and accomplishments… Certainly not where they were born or anything else equally arbitrary that could have just as easily gone another way.
I just watched Cowboys & Aliens (2011) for the first time earlier today and really enjoyed it.
Lots of famous faces in front of the camera and lots of well known names involved behind the scenes.
Producers include Steven Spielberg, Jon Favreau, & Ron Howard.
Actors include Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, & Olivia Wilde.
Seems like a really stupid idea for a plot but I found myself about halfway through thinking “this isn’t really that different from a Star Wars type movie… That’s basically already alien cowboys …”
Oh yeah… Forgot to mention that Steve Oedekirk (from Kung Pow fame) was also involved … he was one of three writers
I don’t think there’s anything typical about that behavior outside that incel, wannabe player, pick up artist community … Or whatever the fuck they call it these days…
