          not always, i’m currently ignorant of the world news, i made the choice to become ignorant becuase my own head is making me sad enough, and i do not need the aid of 20 daily articles about mass killings of babies, oppressing minorities, or whatever bullshit the US is up to this week

    Well, I recently lost, like, 50% of my credibility as an intellectual as I stopped smoking. So I guess I am now somewhere in between both ends.

        There are more advanced levels where you replace the cigarettes with alcohol, then the alcohol with cigarettes again, then the cigarettes with regret, and finally you quit the regret cold turkey, and all that’s left is the bitterness of the coffee to match your soul.

    I started at advanced, I was born hating everything and scowling at imbeciles who didn’t think about the world. I am trying slowly to get back down to “beginner.” It’s been difficult.

    I feel like there’s a bunch of parallel narratives to be unwoven here, and I’m hearing many of them at the same time.
    My compliments to the meme chef.

    Does the advanced version make you yell at anyone trying to interact with you before 10 am because you’ve come from a long line of advanced users?

    Sounds to me like you have serious problems with addiction but instead of doing something about it you’re seeking validation via internet points and telling yourself that your addiction somehow makes you better and smarter than other people?
