consider for a moment: in any pre-2016 administration, simply - even completely jokingly - referring to acquiring Canada and Greenland would probably be a scandal if not a career-ending disgrace.

It’s so fucking cringe-stupid, when examined from any angle - diplomatic, logistical, tactical or strategic - much less humanitarian - so unutterably fucking half-witted - and is universally received that way except for conservatives, who have rigged the government through gerrymandering and vote tampering, so they are the only ones who could be shamed into doing something about HERR FUCKING MORON, and as we see time and again: Conservatives have no shame. They don’t care what they look like, they can worry about that after they’ve installed a tyrant moron.

also a kind of nostalgia that gets associated with the smell of cigarettes

yeah, a double sided one - literally ‘ooh yeah’ and ‘hurk gross’ at the same time.

Agreed. It’s disgusting. Am a relapsed nicotine addict, I still walk all the way to the park before sparking up and feel disgusting for it.

the reason I’m a relapsed: people don’t realize what it was like when everyone everywhere smoked all the time. I grew up in a family - sisters, dad, mom, grandparents, who smoked constantly. road trips? windows up baby. every meal, before and after? flavor town.

I remember teachers asking me if I smoked because my clothes would reek of their bullshit. And going to aafes to score cheap smokes for the whole clan just made it seem inevitable. but it’s not. we have multiple generations of kids now who never seen someone light up in a restaurant. or a movie theater. or on a plane trip.

fucking evil horrid chemical.
