A Wild Mimic appears!

Nah, use the designated shitting street just like everyone else

i know of at least 2 women who realized their sexual orientation through xena

You don’t want to help your wife to make it easier. Instead, you apply more pressure, which makes it even harder to stop. That shows that you have an understanding of addiction that reflects the shit from TV series in the 80s and 90s.

This is not the support i would expect from a spouse or a friend, she might be better off without you if this reflects your everyday behavior towards her. There is nothing more to say.

Don’t have many bluesky followers, but i made an awareness post - everyone i know and who cares has already signed :-)

Alley Cat Remeow Edition is a fan remake of Alley Cat, an arcade game, with up to 4 players, but it’s PC (should still run on that hardware, i hope!)

Now you went full Asshole. You don’t want to help your wife of nearly 10 years to get off a highly addictive drug? How many heroin addicts are able to kick the habit without assistance/rehab? Like i said, the addictiveness is about the same, and making one large step is a lot harder to do than many smaller ones.

Smoking is often used as Self-medication btw. You mentioned the death of her father as the event that caused her relapse. Has she processed that fully yet?

Either you have already checked out completely of your marriage or you are telling tall tales. Help your wife and get bent with your black and white fantasy regarding addiction, it doesn’t work that way. Harm reduction should be the first step taken, and i showed you how thats possible.

Edit: if it’s about the cost - vaping is cheaper than smoking,where i live the difference would allow to recuperate the initial cost after about 4-6 months, depending on how many cigarettes per day were smoked before.

I wanted to say the same - that blue color reminds me of blueberry with some mint for freshness!

Cigarettes are about as addictive as Heroin, so it’s not just a matter of “doesn’t want to quit”, which makes you an asshole if you only apply pressure and don’t try to help instead, but i don’t know what you’ve tried.

My personal advice would be to try to get her to start vaping instead, at least as an intermediate step. It’s far less unhealthy, doesn’t smell awful, and you can taper off the nicotine over time, reducing the addictiveness.

Don’t go for disposables, get her a nice mod kit with at least 10 replacement coils (a newbie tends to kill them fast!) and 2-3 sets of batteries (and a charger for them), and go flavour shopping with her. Depending on the smoking habit either go for nic salts when you need a high nic strength (for heavy smokers/chain smokers) or go for freebase nicotine - difference is how much you feel in the throat, nic salts are a lot easier on the throat than freebase, so freebase is when you don’t need much nicotine but the throat hit is important. I would say initial costs of about 200 bucks sound about right.

It’s the only thing that got me off a 2 decade habit of a pack a day, and i tried a lot. If you have any questions, pm me!

that sounds like either the last game ever made or the largest money grave ever made, make your pick 🙃

They already have issues finding partners, because no shit, i don’t want a bigot or nazi as a partner too. So they is already a natural selection pressure on them which reduces their numbers significantly over the next few generations, if we keep it up!

Yep, when i saw that the Blackout had no effect i came over here and never looked back.
