Thanks. I smoked for about 20 years, and have vaped for about 4. I feel better vaping, I don't cough every day, I spend less money, my clothes don't stink, teeth don't get stained, and I have gone down from the highest levels down to 6mg in about 4 years with the goal of quitting all together much closer today, than I ever thought possible.

Tired of people who never smoked, or vaped in earnest telling me what the government should regulate for me. I personally know that extra addictive substance exists in tobacco, that isn't present in nicotine e liquid. I tried gum, patches, and Chantix, and none of these approved cessation methods worked. I always craved cigarettes, and always went back.

All that smoking fucked up your beliefs man. Smoke in the lungs is smoke. You really are 35+ years old? With dumb thoughts like these? My god

Rather than follow me around on my posts and comment because I told someone how to torrent, couldn't your time be better spent working on a game that isn't a failure?

Again, kiddo, never said nor am a game dev. How did I kill my own project? People pirate Office Word, Sony Vegas and so on, good software gets pirated. You say I have no talent, but people want my software they go and pirate it? Flawed logic you got there, just like your entire way of thinking.

Your insults and way of "my chin is sky up" way of talking is still worthy of r/Cringetopia :)

Also this was never about torrent, that was part of what I found about you. Only another thing that makes you less valuable as human being to me

I am an indie software developer, and people like you disgust me. I hope you choke on salt, and I hope every craft and work you ever do in your life never gets valued and appreciated, because it is what you deserve, unless you have the space, time and money to give everything you work for, for free.

If you cant do that, I have salt.

Yup, I am not actually an indie developer, I used your same fallacy you used in another post.

You literally compared yourself to a Father who took a child molester's life, saaying your own perso al experience of vengeance was good enough to prove that vengeance helps bring peace of mind to people. Yet you never showed evidence of actually experiencing such thing nor sound like someone who does.

Finally, people pirating my software would mean a GOOD thing, it means they want it but cant afford it or just dont want to spend a dime. This happens with absolutely any good software, bad software is simply forgotten and ignored, which you havent used as an insult, because you arent creative at all!

Oh, I took you at your word that you were an indie developer when you said you were. That isn't a fallacy by the way, that is just lying. I have not committed a fallacy when I offered some perspective on speech usage to someone who felt that saying sexist and racist things was okay.
