Brutal.

I’ve made the argument countless times. If you want to call raping a 17 year old pedophilia, that’s up to you. I’m not going to call a swimming pool a lake.

I mean you can also say someone is a murderer of they eat cabbage, but you’d be wrong.

Calling everyone you dislike a pedo is as lame as calling everyone you dislike a commie or Hitler.

Seriously… having sex with or raping a 17 year old doesn’t make you a pedophile. It makes you a statutory rapist. That’s bad enough without having to make dumb shit up as an insult.

I’m surprised and disappointed so many on lemmy are falling into that sort of weak bullshit but… here we are

No one said everyone. I said maga weirdos that label everyone they disagree with as a pedo.

Welcome to that club, I guess.

I was often finding myself beyond labeled as a pedo. On twitter. By maga morons that label everyone they disagree with a pedo.

I did rethink some things and went to lemmy. I guess not much changes.

Again, words have meanings. I’m sorry that makes you emotional and require all caps to try and make your point.

Explain how I’m wrong? Or did you think banging a 17 year old is literally pedophilia?

It’s annoying when right wing weirdos label everyone that disagrees with them a pedo, it’s not any less annoying when it’s done by everyone else.

It absolutely doesn’t

Define pedophilia for me

Sure, that works

Words have definitions

God damn that takes me back to 1998 and just having moved to Alpharetta, GA

So in confused. Do I need to install thunderbird or…?

Not the answer you want, but for me, I quit cold turkey after smoking a pack a day for 15 years.

The thing that helped is that I wasn’t being forced to quit for health or social reasons. I simply realized that all smoking a cigarette was doing was making me not want to smoke another cigarette for 30 minutes. I felt I had no more desire to continue the trend.

The first week sucked. I ended up rolling loose-leaf paper into the cylindrical shape of a cigarette, putting Scotch tape on one end, and poking holes into it so that dragging on it felt like dragging on a cigarette. That actually got me through week 2.

After that, the pull to smoke was far, far weaker. It’s weird. It ends up coming in waves. You’re fine, you’re fine, then you get an overwhelming urge to light up. The need lasts for about 30 seconds and goes away quickly. Over time, the frequency between those cravings gets longer, and the cravings get smaller. At some point, I just didn’t feel like smoking at all anymore.

But yeah, the first few weeks are not great.

Best of luck!

Edit: my main advice here is that if you don’t feel like you really want to quit, you’re going to have a much harder time. If your plan is to taper down, it may be torture. If you’re plan is “I’ll only show myself this one” every so often, it’s going to be a long, drawn out losing process.

Alternative:

“Can I scan your badge?”

…quietly walk away backwards, staring them dead in the eye

I’ve never seen an illuminated logo from manufacturers other than those I’ve listed. Large, sure. Though some like Kia or Hyundai I haven’t seen get huge. Honda, maybe?

“African American culture is the antithesis to your argument. Even the most wealthy individuals sporting logos of all kinds, literally as status symbols.”

Really you’re describing the difference between striking it rich and generational wealth.
