Benefits of smoking cigarettes?

My girlfriend has threatened to break up with me several times now unless I cut down to a pack a week. I’m not addicted but it does help me get through my day. I keep trying to tell her that but she doesn’t believe me and keeps saying that it’s actually bad. I want to prove to my girlfriend that smoking cigarettes is...

SustainedChaos,

The health benefits you can't find any evidence of? Yeah, those benefits.

SustainedChaos,

He'll quit later, after his girlfriend has left him for a non-smoker who listens to her.

SustainedChaos,

As an aside, the same is true for caffeine. It causes greater alertness but that lasts for only about two weeks of daily use. Beyond that, it's just an addict getting their fix.

SustainedChaos,

Nice anectdote. Decades of medical research must be wrong.

SustainedChaos,

Poison ivy is natural. Disprove that.

SustainedChaos,

_ I’m not gonna spend 1-2 hours a day lifting weights to get the benefits a single cigarette I smoke in a minute or two would_

Supposed benefits of smoking a minute or two aren’t even remotely comparable to the benefits from an hour or two of exercise.

SustainedChaos,

Sure, believe that too.

SustainedChaos,

I hope the broken eggs are billionaires' nuts.

How do you get an avatar on kbin.social?

SustainedChaos,

@Fiivemacs You should direct your comment to those on kbin.social who have avatars.

The Tunguska event. If a something similar happened today the first thought would be an above-ground nuclear detonation.

SustainedChaos,

Noting the url of this post. Expect plenty of reposts as the years click by.

Why are Golden Parachutes a thing?

Time and again, we see CEOs and similar executives make horrible decisions that massively damage a company both financially and in terms of reputation and the perpetrator is forced to resign, yet receives so much money as a going away present you'd think they're being rewarded for their fuck up. Why??

SustainedChaos,

Purely speculation on my part, but probably at least in part because they know enough about about the company and its secrets to cause serious trouble if they are unhappy.

SustainedChaos,

I'm a great admirer of Isaac Asimov, but Foundation - the book - hasn't aged well at all.

Reddit is no longer showing on my computer. Something about /etc/hosts. Can’t imagine how that happened.

SustainedChaos,

If only we had actual data on the prevalence of diseases before and after vaccines were introduced.

SustainedChaos,

It’s vanilla Arch with an installer. Fast and stabile.
