Why do they call them "survivors" of sexual assault when almost all live through it?

Clearly you feel strongly about this and I shouldn't joke, but that's because cigarettes come in square boxes. Ovals are much more pleasant to put in your ass.





Like you said earlier, you just have to do. Every day. Over and over.

They're not always square. I got the SHITTIEST cigarettes in the world and it's not even like... cardboard. The pack itself is literally in paper. I tried to pull one out of my like, side thing in my bag that I think is meant for a phone but I always keep the phone in my pocket, and I was holding a filter.

I was like, "What the fuck?"

I pulled the shitty pack out and realized it was just paper, and the wraps on the cigarettes weren't keeping them together against like... the elements?? I guess?? And it literally just came apart.

They have to be made of the shavings that the sweep up when they make real cigarettes.

Chisum. Is what they're called.

Anyway, I smoked it without the filter like a joint. It was horrible. You NEED a filter on a cig because it's not rolled at the end. You get tobacco in your mouth.

Edit: Also, not for nothing but some people did put them in their ass. They are hard-fucking-core at those places. They take your phone, too. You have to sign your own phone out.

What cigarettes don't come in square packages?

Admittedly I don't smoke on the regular, but I have over the course of my life spent a fair amount of time selecting and judging cigarettes (I know this sounds fake, but it's not) and I've never seen anything that didn't come in a pointy cornered package of some sort. Even loose tobacco comes in a pouch that has corners, or a tin that's just too big to insert anywhere.

Also, you could make your own paper filter if you are going to keep smoking the shittiest cigarettes. You want to keep the carcinogens in your lungs where they belong, not on your lips where they will mar your looks.

edited: And another thing, they say they are full flavoured. You can't have everything. Maybe you have to exchange flavour for durability. At least when it comes to a cigarette.

The fact that it gives you wrinkles is literally going to be what eventually makes me stop.

Let me google these things- I literally only bought them because I was in SHOCK. I saw the pack and it said $1. I thought, "There is no way in hell that this cashier will do this. I can't hand her one American dollar and then she hands me a pack of cigarettes. That's not how this works. I HAVE to test this. I'm going to force her to explain exactly how this establishment is fucking with people. I want to know what else I have to buy or what bullshit hoops I have to jump through to obtain those cigs for $1."

Then, hand to god- I pointed to them and asked- and she asked if I wanted lights of full flavor.

What the fuck?

This does not look as fragile as they actually are. Like, you know how a pack of smokes is supposed to do, right? Like it's made of cardboard wrapped in cellophane? This is not like that- this is malleable. It's not cardboard, it's paper. It will take on the shape of whatever it's put inside and does not protect the smokes AT ALL.

But in the center people snuck in like, Marlboros and shit. I have no idea.

You should post a photo of your mouth from 5 years ago and another from today. I'm sure the comments would send you into a "I'm never smoking again, I've ruined my looks forever" fever. And not like the post hangover "I'm never drinking again" fever, more like the "I'm never shaving around or behind my knee with my dad's razor that uses real blades again" fever.

The cigarettes themselves looked like they were wrapped in that stiff brown toilet paper that comes folded one sheet into another from grade school. Didn't absorb shit and could actually cut you if you weren't careful.

Maybe next time maybe splurge and ask if they have 2 dollar smokes.

That's it.

I'm no longer posting in this thread until at least 1 January 2019—maybe longer.




Time to do your victory dance(s), feminists and PC-SJWs:

you won.

If it posts like a troll, talks like a troll; it’s a troll.

You can get full cancer for ONE AMERICAN DOLLAR.

Why is no one else amazed by this??

What a time to be alive.

Also, all rillos look like that. They are brown. That's how people know you're serious.

Edit: also, my mouth is my worst feature. It was never great... It's tiny. People make fun of me for it. When I do drag I either have to own it or draw them on and look awful. I don't know why people make out with me.

I thought they were cigarettes. And I am amazed that you can get anything for one American dollar. I think cigarettes are like 7 or 8 dollars a pack here. It's cheaper to smoke pot.

Couldn't say. Are you easy?

I mean, they are cigarettes. But they're also cigars. They're like... the redneck cigs. Sometimes someone will ask for one, see what you're smoking and then change their mind. It's the male equivalency of a Newport slim, in that they are sold exclusively to people who live in trailer parks, or have the kind of trailer trash soul that just does not come clean.

THEY NORMALLY ARE HERE TOO I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT SHIT.

Not as easy as I used to be. I don't have time.

Maybe you're a good kisser in spite of your infirmity.

I once made 25 bucks teaching someone how to kiss better. Seems it's a dying art.

edit: We also have something called cigarillos, but those are not cigarettes in brown paper. They are pretentious skinny cigars with a plastic filter on the end, often fake flavoured with something. They aren't flimsy, but they might be white trashy. Like those rainbow coloured cigs that teenagers smoke to look fancy.

Yeah, I'm probably using the term wrong. Here a lot of people say "rillos" to mean "any cigar that is not a cigar". If it's the limp dick equivalency of a cigar- a cigarette lying about being a cigar- then I call it a rillo.

Yeah, maybe I make up for what I lack in luscious lips in enthusiasm. My gf has the hottest CSL I've ever seen on anybody, but if you tell her that it pisses her right off for reasons that made me feel REAL bad when I found out what they were. So it might be a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.

Those lip plumpers that make your mouth burn work but only for like an hour. I think they just cause swelling.

I feel like this dude is going old-school.

Like... laudanum or someshit.

Again, it's pretty shitty to try to pit survivors against each other. There's no reason to do it.

"Other people have it worse so quit your bitching" is literally something abusers say. That's not trying to get clarification- the real reasons for the terminology have been spelled out to you in terms a little kid could understand. You're just out here trying to meet a word count or someshit.

And you do realize that it's not EASY to quit smoking, right? I just explained that it IS easier to quit hard drugs. That's not just me, look that shit up. Look at the statistics. It's because of the reasons I already listed that you just glossed over- and this is DESPITE it being EASIER to get treatment for nicotine addiction, because nicotine isn't illegal and you aren't criminalized for having it in your system.

Look- heroine is an opiod. I've BEEN addicted to opiods, and I've been addicted to nicotine. I'm not snorting pills anymore, but I'm still smoking. And that's pretty common. Very few people master the art of doing one drug at a time. You admitted to having never been addicted to either.

Addictive personality disorder isn't some made-up bullshit to get people to not have wilpower- that doesn't make any goddamn sense. If you have APD, you have to have MORE willpower than a neurotypical person. A neurotypical person can get over the DTs- and be done with it. People do it all the time. People do drugs at parties, and they don't get addicted. But if you have NPD? You have that craving for the rest of your life. A neurotypical person has to fight it off once, get through the chemical dependency, and then go on with their life and look back at that time as, "that crazy phase I went through." Someone like me? I have to wake up EVERY DAY and do that. Over. And over. And over.

And what you learn in rehab, is that you just have to be that strong. You have to. Every day, you have to wake up, and you have to tell yourself- "I don't need it. I can go without it today. I just have to get through this next 24 hours."

And then you do that until you die. Because that's how your brain is wired. That's just your life now, and you fight through it- every fucking day.

Survivors- of addiction, of assault, of rape, of battle- have more willpower than neurotypical people can comprehend. We've got monsters on our backs and in our streets that you people can't even see. We're not VICTIMS of these things because we CONQUERED them. We SURVIVED them. Not everyone has.

And it's not your business, or ours, to judge other people by the monsters that we can't see. You don't know what someone else is fighting, so would it KILL you not to be a dick about it?

Amen!
