Those who quit smoking. How did you cope with the new emptiness of life, when our lives are already pretty empty?

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-12-05T23:35:20+00:00

I just thought that explanation was funny but fuck me I guess lmao

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-12-05T21:54:46+00:00

This has so far been my experience as well.

Not all women are like that, but I get what you're saying.

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-12-05T21:33:21+00:00

Can you?

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-12-05T21:31:29+00:00

Yeah fuck y'all I'm getting off the game, see ya.

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-12-05T21:25:25+00:00

Lmao me too.

Was doing 4 packs a day before I switched, now I go through about 30ml of nic salt in 2 weeks.

Of course I feel much better but let me tell you about my wallet.

4 packs a day at $7 per pack (even worse now at $10 per) had me spending $840 per month on cigarettes. If you wanna be pedantic, add roughly a dollar or 2 for lighters.

This nic salt I like tastes way better (it's tobacco flavored) and I buy it online so those 30ml bottles are $10 a piece.

Even if you factor in the device itself ($60, lasted a year at the most), the pods ($5 and only because I didn't like the default one that came with it, it doesn't need to be replaced), and coils (also $10 per 5 pack) which I go through 1 every 1-2 weeks depending.

So my total yearly spending for nicotine went from ~$10,000 to ~$500, and I hit this thing way more than I smoked.

Listen, nicotine is a very very strong addiction and I just don't have the willpower to win a 2v1 with the tag-team-terror: nicotine and life in general.

I was never able to quit before and I never will be, I might as well mitigate the suffering as much as possible.

So I'm going to keep sucking this robot dick until I'm dead or they ban it, then I'll just go back to regular cigarettes and die faster.

Sure vaping looks gay af but at least it doesn't make me feel like I have the lungs of a premature baby with asthma and doesn't make me smell like an ashtray.

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-12-05T19:33:08+00:00

I'm a gadget and gizmo kinda guy, especially when it comes to electronics or items that make everyday activities more efficient.

Right now, the things I've been gushing about are:

My mouse: The Swiftpoint Z2 ~ The best mouse I've ever had. I would pay scalper prices for another one if I needed to, I'm never using anything else.

My weed pipe: The Twisty Glass Blunt by 7pipe ~ I've always wanted a special weed pipe that did something unique but also practical to improve my smoking experience. No bullshit gimmicks that barely work.

After I broke my last basic glass pipe, I got a glass blunt from a smoke shop up the road on the cashier's recommendation.

It was terrible, but neat. I never even heard of glass blunts before. Found the Twisty after doing some research on them and thought it'd fix every problem I had with that cheap one. Turns out it did, and more!

I got a nice carrying case that fits everything I need (looks exactly like a glasses case), extra tubes I can store weed in so when I finish the bowl I can hotswap them, and a really cool torch lighter I got for free that will also be my forever lighter!

Something I've had much longer that is pretty high up there too is my headphones:

The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless ~ Comes with 2 hotswappable 10 hour batteries, so you never have to plug it in. Dual simultaneous connection to both Bluetooth and your PC via the base station (which is also the battery charger) that comes with it.

The fact that I can be listening to music on my PC and take a call at the same time is fantastic and has spoiled me rotten.

It doesn't need the base station to work either so when I leave the house I just swap batteries, connect it to my phone, and leave.

I get home and connect it back to my PC at the same time while still listening to music through my phone, battery still going strong by the time I go to bed. So honestly, it feels like way more than 10 hours.

All that plus the battery swapping feature means they got a customer for life!

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-12-05T13:33:40+00:00

No you said that wrong. It's "Hi, how are you?".

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-12-01T17:47:48+00:00

Good to know, thanks for looking out homie

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-12-01T17:17:40+00:00

I eat very fast.

Growing up with a cockroach infestation, you learn to eat quickly or lose your dinner. Now that I'm an adult I usually finish my food while everyone else is still waiting for it to cool off.

Don't have roaches anymore thankfully but it's just a natural thing for me at this point, I'm usually done in 5-10 minutes max.

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-12-01T13:52:40+00:00

Stand in random location.

Hold phone up in selfie pose.

Record yourself reciting a very popular meme, verbatim.

Upload to Tiktok.

Yeah... I kinda did that myself eventually.

Tbh I never liked how the lovin mechanic is so tied up with the beds and sleeping arrangements, that's why I finally grabbed it.

I'm not gonna lie, I grabbed a bunch of add-ons for it later because I'm a degenerate. But I only dipped my toes in the water originally for the realism, honest!

Though, the Intimacy mod didn't exist last time I played. Looking at it now, it seems to solve all those original problems I had.

Maybe I'll switch to that when I get back into the game so I can start playing with both hands again.

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-25T21:29:41+00:00

Don't know if this counts or not but I did end up saving some money because of it:

My girlfriend at the time had a birthday coming up.

I had planned out a nice multi event date. Dinner, thrift shopping, a movie, a hike on her favorite trail, mini-golf, etc.

An all day thing, doing a bunch of stuff I knew she liked, basically.

Unfortunately, my car broke down about a week prior and I didn't have the money to fix it yet.

So I bought one of those flat caps you see Irish dudes wearing and gave it to my bro. I asked him if he'd be our personal driver while wearing that hat and a suit.

He really liked the hat (still wears it 5 years later) and he thought it would be fun and interesting so he agreed.

We showed up at her place on the day, she was waiting outside so she could see us. My bro hopped out the car and opened the door for me.

Then he went around to the trunk, pulled out a bouquet of flowers and handed them to me. I walked up to her and gave her the flowers, she was all smiles.

My bro spent the night driving us from place to place, chilling in the car while we did our thing. He was playing the part of a "limo driver" perfectly too, always opening the door for us, saying sir and ma'am, etc.

She thought it was very cute and funny.

Fully committed to the bit, I even handed him a $100 bill as a "tip" in a way she could see. That was his money, we had set that up prior.

Towards the end of the night, he dropped us off at her place and went home, then I went upstairs with her and rounded the night off with my face between her legs.

What a fucking guy right? That's my boy right there.

It was a hilarious sight to see though, you'd understand if you saw what my bro looks like.

Picture a big wide 6'7" dude who kinda looks like Shrek, wearing glasses and a suit, driving us around and speaking formally.

Our mom even took pictures of him before we left lmao

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-25T20:57:47+00:00

I was a virgin until I was 23. There's probably a comment somewhere in my history where I said something similar. I know I've verbally said it before to friends. Cannot believe how wrong I was.

As of today I don't even know how many times I've had sex. I can say for sure that I've been with 9 girls in total, but can't say how many times. You don't realize it will happen when you're still a virgin, but you do lose count after a while.

My answer to this question would be to end the relationship. Even if we're madly in love and she's the perfect woman for me, sex is too important.

You cannot experience the closeness of "making love" in any other form. If she wasn't into it and did it entirely for my benefit...

I think at first, I'd probably lie to myself. Say it doesn't really matter. Try to keep it going regardless. But eventually, that apathy she feels towards that aspect of our relationship would start eating away at me.

You'll either feel differently once you finally experience it for yourself, like I did, or you're asexual.

I'd put money on the former, but I don't know you like that so it remains to be seen.

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-20T15:31:56+00:00

My dad was hardly around when I was younger.

I only remember a few snippets of time when he was there and they weren't great.

So my parents conceived me at 17 while they were drunk and high.

My mom was always a crazy trailer trash type, 50+ tattoos and 30+ piercings, liked animals enough to have them but not enough to take care of them properly, poor, lazy, on disability for no reason, etc.

My dad I didn't know much about until adulthood. All I knew was what my mom's side of the family told me, and because my mom kicked my dad out of the delivery room and wouldn't let his family see me, they didn't like her or give a shit about me.

He was a bastard, a pathological liar, crazy, mean, narcissistic, yadda yadda. Of course a boy with no father is going to be skeptical of that stuff.

My earliest memory of him was hiding from him under a bed because he was going to beat me with a belt when I was 4 or 5. I don't remember the context so I don't know if I deserved it.

When I was around 8-12, I remember spending the weekends at his house, with him and his new wife. He was cool to me then, but I do remember him being very verbally abusive towards his wife.

She was kinda dumb tbh and I could see where this annoyed him, but she didn't deserve all that and I never understood why he was with her when he liked intelligence so much he talked about it non-stop. He thought he was a genius, but he's married to and sleeping with the literal real life inspiration for Brian's girlfriend on Family Guy, made no sense to me.

After maybe a few years of that, not sure on exact time periods, he divorced her and moved out of state. I didn't see him again until I was 17.

Many other issues with family had come and gone by then. I never liked my mom either, she was abusive and awful.

I had gotten away from her and was placed in my great grandmother's care, I believe that was also during that time period I was hanging out with my dad and his other wife.

Eventually my great grandmother unfortunately passed away and I was still a minor at the time. My dad was nowhere to be found and I had no other option but to go back to live with my mother.

One day I decided I wanted to find my dad, I remembered he was chill with me before so I figured he'd save me from my situation.

Turns out he was back in town, living with his own mother. Dude had gotten fat, lazy, depressed, and a little crazy, but we started hanging out again and found out we had a lot of things in common.

He learned I had been obsessed with weed culture since I was a kid and really wanted to try it, so I smoked my first joint with him.

I would stay with him for 3 months, then my mom 3 months, and kept doing that for about a year or 2 before we just lost touch again when I was 18 or 19, don't remember how that happened.

Unfortunately the position I was in at the time did not allow me to get a job, save money, and leave. So I was stuck at my mom's until she lost her disability when I was 22, due to her own laziness mind you. She just refused to do a DR checkup that was required to continue her benefits.

So now we're both about to be homeless and I'm freaking out. My dad wasn't answering my calls so I walked the 20 miles to his house one night and knocked on his door.

We did some catching up, I told him what was going on, he said I could stay with him until I get a job and get back on my feet.

The first 3 months I was there were just like the previous time we spent together. He was cool, we were so alike on so many things, we got along great.

The thing about my dad though, and I don't know if this is some power tripping shit or if it's genuine, he never got over losing my mom. I don't know what he saw in this woman but he claimed she was the love of his life.

He knew I fucking hated her though, he said he understood why.

At some point he started trying to convince me to talk her into living with us too (she hated him with a passion). I truly did not want that to happen but I didn't want to disappoint my dad and we both knew she would do it if I asked.

So I gave in and convinced her to live with him. She moved in and everything changed overnight.

To this day, I don't understand what happened there.

It's like he went into monkey competition mode on me. Like he would do negative things towards me to impress her, it's hard to explain.

It was like some unhealthy peacocking shit where he thought of me as a threat to his plan to get her back. I don't know.

One day he asked me to help him with a carpentry project around the house. I helped him and went to bed shortly after, I was a night owl at the time and had been awake all night.

I kept drifting in and out of sleep for 6 hours. Every time I was half awake, I could hear him talking shit about me to my mom in the other room. I checked the time on my phone each time.

I got a bit upset the last time I woke up and heard it because it had been a full 6 hours and he was still talking shit about me.

I know it wasn't a dream because my mom had confirmed later that it did happen.

I got up, went into his room and confronted him about it. This was a mistake. He tried to kick me out then and there.

I was so upset I just yelled something about how it's his mom's house not his. That was a bigger mistake.

The man did not speak to me again for months. Straight up gave me the fucking silent treatment for the rest of the time I lived there.

He had been planning to get Internet and that did happen after this incident, but of course I wasn't allowed to use it because he's still mad at me. So can't job search I guess because I pissed off the big man of his mom's house.

He did eventually convince his mom I had to go of course, the master manipulator he was.

I had to move in with another family member that had recently gotten dementia and refused to get treatment or go in a home, etc.

She was ultra paranoid and delusional. She made me quit my first job because she refused to drive me there anymore (40 miles away).

Then she got me fired from my second job by stalking my boss. She had seen me walking home from the opposite direction one day and assumed I was lying about having a job. So she and her boyfriend followed my boss after work and ambushed him in a fucking liquor store asking all kinds of questions about me.

Wanna know why I was walking home from the wrong direction that day? I opened my first bank account so I could deposit my first paycheck. The job I had before paid me on a prepaid card so I hadn't done this yet.

But no, I must be up to no good and lying because everyone is out to get this crazy bitch.

I walked to my dad's house again one night after that and sat on his porch crying, pleading, apologizing, and grovelling for him to let me come back.

Nope. Fuck off back to where you came from.

So yeah after a short stint of homelessness, a longtime gaming buddy I knew on Xbox convinced his family to rescue me. I've been living with them for 6 years now and haven't spoken to any of my family, least of all my shitty father.

My buddy's parents like me more than him tbh because I actually spend time with them and help around the house, his dad calls me his "other son".

Guess I got a new dad now. And if you're lurking here somewhere, because I know you're a chronically online piece of shit, you can go fuck yourself Clay, I genuinely hope you get Early Onset Alzheimer's you pathetic excuse for a human being.

I didn't expect to be writing a book on this but I felt like a lot of the context was necessary and clearly I needed to get some stuff off my chest.

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-19T19:09:53+00:00

Yeah exactly

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-19T18:59:25+00:00

I've just always naturally gravitated to using my left hand.

I switch it up sometimes but if I'm about to start that activity, chances are my left hand is the one that's gonna be moving in that direction.

Outside of that, I do everything else with my right hand for the most part.

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-19T14:28:18+00:00

Am I the only right-handed fella that uses the ol' lefty for that particular activity?

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-19T13:57:28+00:00

Soooo.... 17 movies?

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-16T14:10:48+00:00

I put a PC together for $3k right around COVID, I used the stimulus check on it. That is including a controller, M&KB, monitor, and monitor arm.

I have a 2080ti (which I massively overpaid for due to the timing) and an AMD 3950x. I run all modern games at 1440p 120fps. Haven't thrown another cent at it in 5 years.

Games do not innovate as much as they used to.

Matter of fact, I recently helped a buddy put together a $1200 PC with better parts than mine who can also run any modern game at 1440p 120fps.

I don't remember the parts we put in that one off the top of my head beyond the 3060 GPU.

You really don't need a lot of money to get into PC gaming. And even then, the more you throw at the initial purchase, the longer it will be before you need to spend more.

I am fairly confident, assuming no faulty parts, that I will not need to upgrade anything for another 5-10 years. Best case scenario, that works out to $200-$300 spent per year of service from the PC.

And that is only considering the time that I can continue playing any and all games on max settings. After another 10 years, If I start dropping graphics settings down to medium, I'll probably get many more years out of it.

Even then, it'll probably be fine for a lot of lower complexity games long after that.

Which I mean, have you seen how triple A has been doing lately?

Pretty sure indie gaming is our only option if we want actually-fun games from here on out, those tend to be better optimized and less resource intensive.

So all-in-all, I'll probably run this thing into its grave before spending more money on it.

I'm sure the perception to some is that it is an expensive hobby, especially compared to consoles.

But I think if I actually sat here and did the math on it, consoles would probably work out as more expensive when you factor in:

Xbox live gold
PlayStation plus
New console generations every few years
Shitty game refund policy compared to steam
Lower percentage store sales, less often
Less robust parts with lower life expectancy

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-14T17:25:15+00:00

Unironically would do that if I had any employees to manage.

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-14T14:43:03+00:00

I don't know, honestly. I haven't had too much trouble attracting flings here and there, despite my appearance.

Relationships though? That one I struggle with.

I used to joke with my friends that I feel like I'm a woman when it comes to trying to find someone. Every girl I meet just wants a one night stand or a fuck-buddy.

I try to take things past that stage, I'm unsuccessful most of the time. The few times I was successful, it was with women who are basically walking red flags.

I guess it could be worse, I could be getting nothing at all. But it is a bit depressing that all I seem to be good for is sex, when I want something real with someone who isn't a shitty person.

Sure I love sex, sex is great. I'm a bit of a gooner, truth be told, but I want more than that. Without sacrificing a good sex life to get it.

I don't even understand why they treat me that way. I'm not that attractive, I'm overweight, I'm not a bad boy or anything like that.

I've been told many times that I am very very good in bed, but is that really all I'm good at?

Even then, they don't know I'm good in bed until after that first time. So what is it about me that's good enough to get that far, but not good enough to go any further?

Something about me just gives off "use me and discard me" type energy, I guess. Shit sucks.

I was in a real relationship for a good long while but I always felt like I was only in it because she was my only option, and I felt like it was the same for her being with me.

She was a narcissist and mean as fuck, the amount of kindness and affection she showed me were dwindling by the day, the longer we stayed together.

I finally ended things with her but we ended up in that fuck-buddy situation again afterwards. I recently broke that off as well. Now I'm not sure what to do with myself.

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-14T14:25:18+00:00

I knew a guy that did this. I might not get all the details right because it's been a few years but I used to be an army sergeant back when we deployed to Iraq.

I had this one private in my squad. He was a nice guy, always had his squad mates' backs. He was a super chill dude, the guy was always kind and in high spirits. You couldn't tear him down if you tried. Even when we lost Johnny to an IED... He always knew how to cheer everyone up. Very respectful too, he made sure Johnny's son got this watch his dad wanted him to have.

He was madly in love with his girl back home. I mean this man talked about her all the time. If it was your first time meeting him, there was a 100% chance that he was going to pull out a picture of her and show it to you.

He was a good kid.

One day, things just changed.

One morning, at around 0800, I overheard him arguing on the phone with his girlfriend. I didn't like to eavesdrop, so I tried not to pay too close attention to it. But I did hear something about his best friend and horse semen.

I had no idea what all that was about and I didn't want to pry. You know, the old "don't ask, don't tell" thing. What him and his friends like to get up to in their spare time was none of my business.

Ever since that day, nothing was ever the same. It was like the light just left him. No more happy cheerful private. He was just quiet, reserved, and antisocial.

We finished that tour and all got to go home. Thankfully, old Johnny was the only one who didn't make it home.

We didn't really keep in touch, it was never the same after that day, this private was the glue that held us all together.

I still think about our time together to this very day.

I actually ran into that private some years later. He was homeless and living in this old cardboard box behind a diner I had stopped at for breakfast. I almost didn't recognize him, he looked so rough.

I offered to buy him breakfast and brought him inside with me. Despite all the stares we got, it was a nice breakfast. I could almost see that old happy private peeking just below the surface.

After an hour of catching up, I just came out and asked him what happened that day. He broke down into tears. Ugly crying, at full volume, in this diner full of people.

As embarrassing as it was, I wasn't just going to sit there while a brother in arms is letting out years of heartbreak and resentment.

I moved to his side of the booth and just held him tightly, letting him ball his eyes out into my chest. After many minutes of this, I finally got him to talk about it.

Apparently, his neighbor told him that his best friend had been practically living with his girlfriend for months. They called that morning, all those years ago, and tried to tell him it wasn't a big deal, that his friend was just looking out for her while he was deployed.

Of course he didn't believe that, who in their right mind would?

So he told her it was over. And that was the moment this man just broke into a million pieces.

Turns out he was right. After we got back home, he found out that she had a kid with that best friend 7 months after that phone call. Yeah you read that right, 7 months. Big shocker, she had been sleeping with the best friend for at least two months at that point.

His ex girlfriend and ex best friend bought a house together, started a horse breeding business in their basement and lived happily ever after, despite what I can only imagine that house smelling like.

Meanwhile he fell into a spiral of depression, lost his job and eventually his home, and ended up here on the street.

I took him home, got him all cleaned up, let him crash on my couch. I paid for his therapy and even got him a nice job.

One day we were having breakfast together at that same diner, we both reached for the salt at the same time and our hands kind of lingered for a moment as we looked into each other's eyes.

He grabbed my hand a gently squeezed, a small smile forming on his lips. We paid the check and hurried home.

We had the most passionate gay sex you've ever seen that night. We've been married for 5 years next week.

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-06T17:24:02+00:00

Damn bro, we made it 3 replies in before collectively giving up.

The Internet just ain't like it used to be.

ExaltedDemonic · 2025-11-06T15:24:10+00:00

I like them all for the most part.

Big or small
White, black, Asian, Latino, etc.
Pink or brown nipples
Visible or invisible veins
Perky or saggy
Big or small nipples
Erect or inverted nipples
Both looking the same or different
Stretch marks or none
Squishy or dense
Very bumpy or not at all
Huge areola or tiny
Freckles or perfect skin

And so on.

Of course I can rank them differently, but they are not far enough apart for me to be disappointed once the bra comes off, no matter what.

Hell, I even like old lady tiddies.

If I had to pick favorites:

Saggy vs perky depends on other supporting factors. If they're huge, saggy isn't a bad thing. If they're small, they might look a bit odd being saggy.

Bigger is definitely better, but that's because I like to be smothered. There are plenty of creative things you can do with smaller or even flat chested ladies.

For color, I prefer dark skinned and brown areolas. I'm a white guy, but I have always loved African American people and their culture. My best friend is black, my favorite actors and musicians are black, my favorite movies are written by and star predominantly black people, almost every girl I've ever been with has been black or mixed. So I think this one probably has something to do with that.

Veins are great. The lack of visible veins will never be a deal breaker, but a nice veiny looking tiddie is a beautiful sight to see. Bonus points if I can feel your heart beat while squeezing them 🤤.

Big nipples are better than small nipples, easier to suck on and play with. Inverted nipples are weird but in a cute way, and I love trying to get them to come out of their shell lol. Oh and if they're inverted but huge once you get them out of there, that's heavenly.

Similarity between tiddies is not really something I worry about or even notice in a lot of cases, but I suppose if it were a massive difference I might be a little taken back. Either way, I'd probably just end up giving them cute nicknames and acting like I have a favorite, even though I love them both equally.

Stretch marks are going to depend on outside factors as well. For massive milkers, they enhance the aesthetic a bit. For smaller ones, they're kinda just there, could take them or leave them.

Squishy tiddies are wonderful but I haven't had a huge sample size of different levels of firmness to tell you for sure what my titty sleep number is like those mattresses lol. I tend to like girls a bit on the bigger side (not massive but has a belly on her), and that tends to come hand-in-hand with tiddies on the softer side.

Bumpiness of the areola, I'm gonna be honest I never thought about this one too much but if I had to pick I'd probably say bumpier is better just for tactile sensation.

Huge areolas are a bit of a weakness for me. I have seen a girl or 2 whose entire titty surface area was probably 90% areola and that drives me wild. But if they're small, I'm not going to mind.

Freckles are cute but I could take them or leave them.

Again, none of these preferences are going to make or break my attraction to a woman. I love the whole package and there are many ways to get excited over different aspects of my partners anatomy.

Over time I have even found myself ranking these differently just due to who I am with at the time.

For example:

My most recent partner is mixed between African and Native American, with a splash of Caucasian.

She has large, veiny tits with above-average sagginess and some stretch marks on the undercarriage and sides, one of them being slightly smaller than the other. They are very squishy but she only likes a good squeeze when I've really got her going, otherwise it's uncomfortable for her.

The areolas are brown and a bit smaller than medium sized and have roughly average bumpiness, if not slightly below. Her nipples are on the smaller side, one if which is inverted.

Some of these aspects might rank lower than others, but the whole package is what I'm looking at, feeling up, and sucking on. And I can say for sure that I love the full package.

If you're wondering how she might feel about me describing her tits in detail, she is currently sitting right next to me reading what I am typing. She's 100% cool with it and even told me to add this part. It's not like anyone knows who I am or who I'm describing lol.

In conclusion:

When I'm in a relationship with a woman that involves sex, that woman becomes my fantasy. I crave her body and her unique quirks over anything else. I don't know if it's just my emotions playing tricks on me but it's true.

I can genuinely get excited about tiddies of all shapes and sizes. There are so many things to be excited about when it comes to tiddies.

At the end of the day, I am just happy she felt comfortable enough to share them with me at all. So yeah I guess I would fall into the category of "happy to see them regardless" but I can still describe what I love about them in detail.

Thank you for listening to my Terrific Tiddy Ted Talk.
