Now that just pisses me off more. As someone who thoroughly enjoyed smoking but has stayed quit since the 90s, one of the things that has kept me quit has been the very quiet idea in the back of my head that if I ever needed to, if I ever really needed to, I could and would.
But the deal is I have to hold out as long as possible, or until an occasion where it no longer really matters. Meaning that because I’m a fucking mule of stubbornness I would probably see a mushroom cloud on the horizon and then die cursing that I have no time to fire up one last smoke for the occasion.
I don’t even remember the exact year I quit now. I only remember I made that deal with myself and have kept it, and how good that very first toke of the very first cig is: all the rest go very quickly downhill from there and you’re back to tasting like an ashtray and feeling like shit and wheezing up stairs. (Yes, it took me multiple tries to quit.) But I always had that one fantastic “emergency” first toke hidden in the back of my wallet of self-restraint.
And now these motherfuckers have taken that too. Pride’s not great for much, but goddamn if I’ll join these little pricks in a smoke. They’ve just sucked all the joy out of even the thought of it. Probably for the best, but damn. Hope it kills the little shits.
From one ex-smoker to another, take some solace in the fact that they’re at the extreme tippy top of the Dunning-Kruger curve and somehow think cancer is just one thing. There’s so many different kinds of cancer they’re hard to enumerate. With any luck you and I both will watch them slowly kill themselves in their death cult while we still have that last smoke tucked away in our back pocket.
Cancer isn’t the only lethal outcome from smoking.
This is genuinely the stupidest shit I’ve read in a little while, and I’ve read a lot of stupid shit lately.
This is fantastic news.
I suppose this comes down to natural selection.
Even if I was 100% convinced that AI could cure cancer, I’d be more convinced about Big Pharma not relinquishing a multi billion dollar a year treatment industry.
The real cancer was the ai researchers we met along the way (so 50% right I suppose)
Pussies. They should take up heroin to prove their faith that AI will come up with a cure for heroin addiction.
What are you some kind of weak kneed unbeliever? True faith is speed balling fent and meth with a barbiturate comedown on a 3 day cycle. AI will solve all the adverse health affects in the next year for sure. Anyone who says otherwise just doesn’t really believe in AI.
- Create a machine that sometimes predicts the next word correctly
- Mass psychosis
I’m coming to the conclusion a good chunk of civilisation is suffering from ELIZA syndrome.
Maybe they all think something else is gonna kill them before they get cancer, or retire and need all that wasted cigarette money?
Or they could believe AI will kill them sooner than cancer.
Either way, I’m not that impressed with Shyam Sankar’s rhetoric.
I’m OK with this. It’s kind of like rappers getting face tattoos because they’re either going to make it or die trying. I appreciate the commitment to the game.
I heard that blowing your brains out with a .45 round cures cancer.
AI douchecanoes: claim to be smart enough to create something capable of curing all cancers
Also AI douchecanoes: not smart enough to know that smoking also causes hundreds if not thousands of other maladies, many of them life threatening and/or crippling.
Smoking is ridiculously addictive and the NUMBER ONE lifestyle cause of death in the world, bar none, and these idiots are doing it just to go PAST all in on vibe tech 🤦🏻
I see this as a net positive, I think they should smoke ten packs a day.
I’d agree, except you KNOW they won’t be considerate smokers, so they’re gonna harm a lot of innocent bystanders with secondhand smoke…
They’re already doing that guaranteed, it’s best to speed up the process.
A bit lame. If they really believed they would use something that gives you cancer quicker.
We have a bunch of chemicals that will do the trick.This is the biggest self own I have ever heard of. I can’t believe this is real.
Bryan Johnson thought peptides would make him live forever. He ended up triggering and autoimmune disease that would likely end up killing him.
Of course, these bros must know tobacco smoke causes more diseases than just cancers.
I love how he blames ‘the stress of being a new father twenty years ago’ with this new autoimmune disease, even though he’s been bombarding his body with foreign invaders, taking a hundred pills a day, changing the markers on his blood and lymph, replacing everything he can inside himself, and living in terror of his immortality for a decade.
‘it wasn’t all this pinhead horrorshow in a lab coat I’m doing, it was my fucking son I’ve always hated.’ what an insufferable twat.
have you met tech bros/broettes?
i live in a city full of them… they very much do weird shit like this to signal to each they are more hardcore cool than the other brogrammers. like they get into bragging fights about really stupid and absurd stuff
I have met some separately, but never in their native habitat. It sounds horrific.
a lot of tech companies are operated like cults.
I suspect cults have a better five year survival rate.
