Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Look, I vape! -blows a giant cloud the size of someone’s head in a crowded theatre-

She knew exactly what was happening. I’ve been vaping near enough ten years and haven’t ever felt the need for that big or hot of a hit. I guess it would be viable to have a home build that you don’t use in public spaces, but personally I’ve always preferred small, low temp hits with significantly less exhaust. Though I suppose expecting her or those like her to be considerate of others is like expecting a capybara to have scales. Utter nonsense.

for that big or hot of a hit.

She's a conservative so there is an innate need to prove they aren't weak or meek. She does this by picking on the weak and meek around her to prove she isn't "one of them".

It's also a convenient way to refill on the hot air when they're running low. You don't want to see how they top off their bullshit tank. It's not pretty.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

So thaaaats where the waste goes when they empty the septic tank.

Seriously what an idiot. If you need to hit your vape, at the very least go the restroom and small puff in the stall incognito style. Not trying to champion that and of course you should really go outside but good lord. Complete blatant dumbassery here.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bathroom or even the hall or the freakin back of the theater even. Literally any amount of consideration for others and she might lose her voters though.

People get high, drunk and fuck on the rear seats all the time without messing with anyone. But yeah, it doesn't count if you aren't an asshole to others while doing it.

If she had whipped out a pufco i might have to find a modicum of respect for this.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If she had a puffco it’d be significantly less of a disturbance than that unnecessary cloud of waste.
