This nonsense again? John Hislop runs a gambling blog for money, and published this googlebait years ago to get sweet SEO candy. Clearly it's still working.

I don’t know, I’ve been reading his blog about 20+ years, and the bait haven’t worked on me
Paging @wit2437
We'll need a repost detecting bot
I love gambling
Doggy dog world
It's a dog eat dog world. Bone apple tit!
It's bon appétit. They're a diamond dozen!
It's "a dime a dozen". As they say, knowledge is power, France is bacon.
It's Francis Bacon, the author that said "Knowledge is power". Come on now, this is easy enough to look up...it's not rocket appliances.
It's rocket science. But we'll cross that bridge when we cum on it.
The expression you're looking for is "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it" Not that it matters, it's all water under the fridge anyway, mostly a moo point.
Come on, man, it's "water under the bridge". I want to contribute but it felt like we were drifting into malaphors there for a second, so I'm gonna play it by year and just see what comes next.
Not to be rude, but it's actually "play it by ear". I'm trying to come up with something witty to say, but I'm dropping a blank.
I don't want to beat under the bush so I'm just going to say it. You should have said "drawing a blank ".
Hey man just want to correct you so you don't embarrass yourself, it's beat around the bush. Good thing I nipped that in the butt.
It's nip it in bud - which is not the nipple of a human, but the bud of a rose. Sorry for being so pedophile.
A pedophile is a kiddie diddler; you're thinking of "pedantic." But, that's just my two scents on the matter.
It's actually "my two cents." No offense, after all, every buddy makes missed takes.
Also it's actually not that hard to quit smoking. I've quit smoking four times.
Hey I can quit when I want to.
When I want to. Not when you or the doctor, or everyone else in my life, wants me to...
- (Now deceased) Addict who smoked from a wheelchair with an attached oxygen tank at his daughters wedding. He did not make it to see his first grandchild.
Don't let anyone tell you how to take... Erm, how to live your life!
It is true though. When you really want to, stopping isn't that hard. I chain smoked for 13 years. And then the time came when I really wanted to stop (I had an upcoming marriage and just needed that money). And because I really wanted to, I did stop.
I'd still suggest to make a plan beforehand though. Mine were nicotine free cigarettes. They really helped my hands to stay occupied and, even more important, I still could go on a smoking break at work from time to time. I let that fade out slowly.
Stopping is that hard. But it's not impossible.
It's been 6 years and I still crave cigarettes, or my vape, every time I see them being used. Could be 4 floors down in front of the building across the street through a window. I still want a hit.
But I did it. I don't want to be remembered as that guy who left his daughter all alone in life because he's a selfish prick. Choosing cigarettes over your own children is fucked.
It's been almost 14 years for me now. It will never go away completely. Just 2 days ago I rewatched some Sopranos and saw Tony smoke a cigar. Immediately I was extremely tempted to order some nice cigars online. Quenched that though, remembering how last time I tried "just puffing" a cigar and immediately drew deep down (that was my single and only slipup). Nope, no cigars, no shisha, no nothing.
It gets less problematic every year though and the triggers get fewer. Seeing someone smoke in front of a restaurant e.g only triggers a "Uff, good for me that I stopped!" nowadays. That used to be different.
What I meant is, that if you really want to, it is defintly something eveyone can manage. Yes, the addiction is real. But the human will is an amazing thing. One has to find the reason why to want to stop. Then it is defintly possible for everyone.
I was the "Uff, at least I don't smoke as much as he" guy people looked at to feel better about their own cigarette addiction and no one believed I'd ever stop. But when I really wanted to, I just did. The half assed 20 times I stopped before that though... One has to find his "I want to stop" reason to actually do it.
On a serious note, there is a type of natural Antidepressant in cigarette smoke (MAOIs) which you come off of like 2 weeks delayed because it has a type of reservoir in the body. So once you quit you can get like delayed withdrawal symptoms.
Yeah, can confirm, though it was usually around a week for me. First couple of days are rough, then you start feeling better, then a few days later you feel like shit again.
Yeah not sure about the time frame. For me it wasn't too bad because I switched to vaping so I still had nicotine. But it would have helped if I had known why I was suddenly in such a super bad mood for a few days haha.
When I used to smoke I made the new years resolution ever year 'to stop more often next year'
I go on holiday more nowadays, feels like a better use of the money

Good bait
This is me with Coke Zero
My favourite tweet possibly ever
ive seen the first but never the second
I still can't believe twitter made Donald Trump a Potus. It has to be one of the wildest stories in our country's history.
Don't forget that enough people were so impressed with his fuckery that there's a very real danger that he'll be given a second shot at it.
This is so absurd. It sounds like it comes from one of those AI presidents-playing-minecraft videos on youtube.
Trump drinks diet coke and would never call himself not thin.
I mean, I think we've seen it here
I was too, until they changed the formula a year and a half/2 years ago? Started tasting more like Pepsi to me, not a fan. I can do Cherry Coke Zero on occasion, or if I've got a craving I'll do regular Zero with a squirt of orange Miso.
Please tell me miso is a brand and not japanese miso
Oh God - auto correct fucked me. I meant Mio. Like the concentrated drink mix that comes in small bottles that you can add to water.
Oh ok. I have seen those before yet didn't think of them somehow.
You're not alone, stay strong my friend! And keep me a bottle in the fridge
That joke is stolen from Richard Pryor. "I've been doing coke for 15 years and I'm still not addicted." Or something like that.
It's probably a joke as old as the word addiction itself
Older actually. The gentleman who came up with the word addiction was quoted as saying “I’ve been coming up with words for fifteen years and I’m still not…I’ll get back to you.”
Downvote for what the top comment said and also "doggy dog world".
