Where are the ten commandmends listed again?

I was very very lucky.

I turned 26 when I heard myself coughing like a 66 year old chainsmoker with cancerous lungs, found I was unable to run up stairs and out of breath after carrying groceries inside. I had to have a cig every morning so I would be able to have a shit at all, but if I did... that first drag sent me rushing to the bathroom, it got so bad, I had to light the first one while sitting on the loo, or i'd shit my pants.

That's when I found myself disgusted with myself. I stopped, I simply stopped. From 38 cigarettes per day to 0. I am so happy it worked, because I am a very easily tempted personality and tend towards addiction in anything that gives my brain pleasure.

It took a year before I completely stopped coughing and two years before I could run up those stairs again, but one day I simply realized "Oh my! I'm not out of breath. What... what happened? Oh, yeah I quit smoking! Damn this feels nice!"

Odds of a sexual abuser need not be high for the man, they're simply 0% for the bear.

It's three fedoras, looked at from the top!

Thank you for making me look, but fuck you for not telling me, it took ages of staring at my screen before I got what was actually depicted.

Meh, our esoterics are basically religious anarchists or spiritual hippies. They still fall into all the trapping of religion without the "organized" part of "organized religion".

Not necessarily. And I don't think you meant it like this could be read.

You can absolutely be pro something but recognize the downsides of it. You can be pro vaxxination, but be critical of how the government handles rollout, you can be pro EV but still remain convinced that the resources needed for batteries are (at the moment) produced using child labor and causing environmental destruction. Constructive critique is valid and necessary.

People don't need to be fanboys, sitting on the fence is completely okay in regards to many topics.

What I think you meant to criticise (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that lots of invalid critique and unreasonable opposition hides behind a thin veneer of "I'm actually in favor of {x}" and yes, we're all sick of it.

Nice interrobang!

It's her reversal of the Serenity Prayer, changing it into a call to action instead of acceptance of the (seemingly) inevitable.

You could also "meet" it or "wrestle through to" it.

To be fair, those are only 2/3rds the height of the Great Pyramid Of Gizeh.
