Search Results: no dates

before any of you jump the gun and claim that I'm a victim blamer I like to point out that I'm well aware that rape is a very traumatic experience. I myself am no stranger when it comes to trauma so I should know that like any other victims of trauma people who were unfortunate to endure rape often times do not want to REMEMBER such experience. so they...

- Dont want to think about it

- Avoid hearing anything that relates to it

- (most importantly) dont want to TALK about it

it might also explain why so many rape victims dont bother to report their incident. so with all that said I now have a 6th sense and that is to never believe women who I just met or dont know personally when they say they were victims of rape. to me if a woman does not hesistate to scream that "she was raped" from the top of a mountain without feeling any sort of trauma, anxiety, or shame then is obvious to me that she is lying or orchastrated the incident in her head.

she is most likely trying to avoid accountability by claiming that she was forced into it or simply trying to use this as a way to gaslight you once you start to feel the false sympathy for her that she wants you to feel.

till then this tweet explains it better than I do. I should also know cause a girl who I almost dated was a prime example of this. she claimed her ex raped her the night she lost her virginity but then her story started to sound like horseshit to me when we cut each other lose and she would shame me for being a virgin while she was not; like who the fuck would be happy to lose their virginity via rape?

1st, Can we MAKE someone quit? What sin tax percentage is it going to take to make them quit or are subsidies for tobacco farmers the real problem? Tobacco use is linked to HALF A MILLION deaths annually in the US alone.

Are people who can't quit "weak"?

FYI: smoking cessation products and programs are subsidized under MANY health insurance plans in the U. S. Almost all health insurance plans cover tobacco cessation treatments. Additionally, "Pay to Quit" direct cash programs have been shown to improve cessation rates among socioeconomically disadvantaged adults.

Is it the (declining) social acceptability of cigarettes that's the problem? FYI: Smokers, if you wanna get laid quit NOW! A Match. com survey revealed:
• 57% of survey respondents said they would NEVER date a smoker
• 89% of respondents preferred not to date a smoker
• 56% of women surveyed would NEVER date a smoker
• 46% of men would NEVER date a smoker

Currently in the USA, the FEDERAL tax is $1.01 per 20 pack of cigs. The lowest STATE tobacco tax in the USA is in Missouri, at $0.17 per pack of cigs. NY is $5.35 per pack. Accordingly, the average price of a pack of cigs in Missouri is $6.11, while in NY it is $11.96.

Profitability varies, as an example, in 2018, Imperial Brands reported a profit margin of 46%. Retailers, however, often experience low profit margins, typically between 4-6%.

Is all of this for nothing because of the rise of vaping?

E-cigarette products can have markups as high as 400% and HAVE NO federal taxes. State taxes vary from 95% of the product to a.05¢ nickel per product. Worldwide smoking trends are declining, though the number of smokers remains high. As of 2020, 22% of the world
used tobacco w/ significant gender differences: 37% of men & 8% of women smoked. Smoking prevalence has decreased by 27% for men and 38% for women since 1990.

Dare I ask about your views if you see a pregnant woman smoking? 😳
