Ah so grok came to a logical conclusion without needing to be programmed to be “woke”. Almost as if this stuff is just truth and not part of any ideology or propaganda that people on the right think it is.
Most of his voters won’t accept it under any circumstances either. If he does concede they’ll think he is being controlled or threatened by the deep state.
You couldn’t have been sober here. Like did older double wides and manufactured homes get seized by libs? Cause this exact living room is all over my town you weirdo.
So many of you had your head in the sand and called lefties deranged for pointing out there’s an outsized faction of maga that are, indeed, white supremacists.
This just makes him more relateable to a wide swath of the country. Better than being on Epstein island or doing weird things at an elitist country club.
There’s different types of weird. Your boy humps a couch while watching handmaids tale. Then him and Thiel jump on the phone and talk about techno monarchy and what kind of cool names they’ll give themselves when they become lords.
The other person just wants to wear a dress.
I’d love to know if this is just @geoffgarin opinion or if he actually has any data to back it up. Cause on the surface it sounds like HORRIBLE advice.
“Hey be a milquetoast boring moderate instead. It works 30% of the time, every time”
The effeminate comment is interesting when most of the far right personalities aren’t exactly the male model type they seem to praise. Walz seems to offend you guys so much because he is actually a normie middle America guy. Looks like half the 60 yo dudes in my town.
If your whole day was taken up sitting in the back of a cop car because of the way you look, you’d definitely be crying foul. Jefferson wouldn’t be licking the boots and saying “that’s ok kind sir, you just had a job to do”
They call us “Big Vape” now.
If that means:
Big on harm reduction
Big on saving lives
Big on adult choice
Big on killing the war on drugs
Big on activism
Big on giving correct info
Big on saving small business
Then I’ll own it. The anti-vape crowd needs to #QuitLying
One of the most valuable lessons learned at school is how to understand and communicate with other people. Especially those different from you. Sending kids to an insulated school where everyone is the same is a disservice to them and limits their career choices.
At some point you guys need to realize establishment politics wasn’t the way in this era. Almost a decade in and you still don’t realize populism is in the air.
Because you guys poured salt in our wounds for the last two weeks. And now you’ll try to take the high road and pretend you don’t know why we’d dislike you lol. Just be alone with your pain
Why do they hate us?
Cause we made harm reduction enjoyable. A hobby. Cool gadgets. Variety. Flavors.
It wasn’t clinical enough for them.
Ironically, the fun, hobbyist aspect of it led to even more smokers quitting long term which made it more effective harm reduction.
Let’s just be honest, if there’s some major new outbreak of disease and we have to rely on the CDC, we are f***ed.
After seeing how they’ve handled the vaping debacle, I have 0% confidence.
Let’s take a step back. We are living in a time where vapeable nicotine and cannabis are being banned. Combustible nicotine and cannabis get to stay on the market.
Black market products caused these lung illnesses, so we create more black markets.
Welcome to idiocracy.
Don’t think you’re going to be proud of yourself when you look back at these comments. You’re proposing something that is the patriot act on steroids, and I’m not even sure if you think these people should be allowed due process before you ship them to a foreign prison.
If the flavor ban is finalized this week, don’t freak out. There will be a process here and fda will rely on fear because they don’t have the enforcement power to be effective. Expect lawsuits, loopholes, and all kinds of wild stuff. Your products won’t be gone overnight.
I live in Montana. While there’s vape shops near me, there’s people in this state who don’t live within 100 miles of one. We should always fight for online retailers as hard as we do for brick and mortars.
Unfortunately, there’s a good chance we see a lot more lung illnesses and death before it gets better.
CDC needs to be held accountable. It’s pretty bad when independent doctors, journalists, and citizens can easily point out patterns but yet gov drags their feet for weeks.
Njoy, Reynolds, and of course VTA and AVA all defended flavors.
Juul did not and is fine with the flavor ban other than tobacco and menthol.
Let that sink in.
Maga is full of frauds. Just funny it took Andrew Tate for some to see it. They’ll talk about pizza shops but brush the real abuse under the rug if it’s their team doing it.
There’s millions of vapers worldwide. Why is it so hard to comprehend that there’s a bunch of real vapor advocates and activists on social media?
They’ve been using the bot excuse for years now. This is a clear attempt to marginalize a massive group.
#WeVapeWeVote#notabot
We live in a country where @JeromeAdamsMD, our Surgeon General, will post articles of abstract studies he hasn’t even read thoroughly and clearly have holes, yet he won’t even touch the @CDCgov latest findings on Vit E acetate which points toward vindication of nicotine ecigs.
I think the fact that she was able to include him during this very cool time of her life was thoughtful. Only a very very insecure person would take it any other way.
When Cuomo said “Is vaping better than smoking? Technically yes. But, so what?”, this brought us into a new era. Big names are now willing to admit the public health benefits, but they’re also willing to disregard it.
From what I remember, lung illness stories started about 2 months ago.
80,000 smokers have died in that span.
People will go back to smoking or continue smoking because this problem has been reported incorrectly and only a fraction know the deaths are from black market thc.
In Montana:
I can buy a gun faster than a McDonald’s hamburger
I can get a cannabis card in 15 minutes
I can ride on the back of a god damned eagle wearing only an American flag...
But no, I cannot buy the jelly e-liquid I love cause my governor wants kudos from Bloomberg.
Before the age of the internet, it would have been so easy to completely kill vaping. Now that we have access to science, community, DIY, and other things, it’s never going away.
They can slow it down but it’s not gonna die
Vanessa went to the dentist today. He started up some small talk about how all the kids are vaping and how it can wreck your oral health.
He told her that her teeth and oral health are perfect, not knowing that she’s vaped for over 6 years😂
It is truly heartbreaking to see posts from vapor companies that they’re shutting down shop. Majority of these people are ex-smokers that started a small business to help others quit smoking the way they did.
These are middle class people and not “Big Vape”.
I got oral cancer from smoking and my kids are glad I vape. They have no desire to try it cause it’s not propped up as some stigmatized, evil, forbidden thing.
It’s just a harm reduction tool their nerdy dad used to quit smoking
Listening to @joerogan on my flight. He finally says something about vaping and he thinks flavor bans are stupid. Now do a show on it @JamieVernon it’s an interesting topic and many of us are willing to chat.
I’ve been following many pro & anti harm reduction doctors & researchers lately.
My conclusion:
Pro’s strictly follow science, data, & history. They’re also compassionate.
Anti’s are purely ruled by emotion, “what if’s”, “whataboutisms” & stubbornness.
If vape shops are not given an exemption from the flavor ban after @KellyannePolls comments and the news reporting it all day, you’re going to have even angrier voters on your hands @parscale@realDonaldTrump.
This roller coaster is ridiculous.
#WeVapeWeVote
Still waiting for any presidential candidate to speak up for vapers. 13 million people switched to a safer alternative and are getting chastised for it. We are passionate about this subject and we vote!
@AndrewYang? @realDonaldTrump? @BernieSanders?
If you’re going to scoff about #ecigs being a political issue because “who cares about your fruit flavored cloud machine”, let me quickly break it down for you. THREAD
2 weeks from today we will be next to the White House representing the millions of vapers who are at risk of losing the products that helped add years to their lives.
If that doesn’t amp you up I don’t know what will.
Trying this again. @joerogan SF just banned e-cigs while leaving cigarettes on the shelves. There’s crackdowns all over the US. Meanwhile UK embraces the tech and urges smokers to switch. You have a great platform to cover the nuances of this topic. Please consider it.
Support your vape shops! Lots of great deals over the next few days and these people are hurting.
Vape shopping is more fun than regular shopping anyway.
