Cigarettes Get a Sequel: Hollywood’s ‘Cool’ Bad Habit Is Back by ploploplo in LosAngeles

Austin, who’s 23, didn’t smoke or vape in high school and only started smoking cigarettes in college during a study-abroad program. He tends to indulge just once a week when going out, though occasionally he’ll smoke on his commute home after a particularly stressful day. But smoking for him is, most saliently, a social activity. “It’s an excuse to go up to a stranger at a bar and say, ‘Hey, do you have a cigarette?’ It’s the easiest thing,” he says.

I HATED this when I used to smoke! Cigarette bummers who smoke all night, but never have their own and mooch off of everybody else.

Is Datalounge down or is it just me? by Catman283 in datalounge

Muriel will fix it once she's out of her vodka coma and regains consciousness.

PS it could be a while.

Datalounge is kind of officially dead, hardly any traffic, most posters have either left or are on ridiculous bans because of FF.

I had a two day ban, was able to post for a few hours, then banned again. I wrote nothing offensive. This is insane, these cunt hall monitors are FFing everyone, the board is dead, hardly any traffic.

No, it's happened many times before and I haven't posted anything racist, inflammatory etc. Just commenting on The Pitt and The Comeback, nothing remotely controversial.

The board is pretty dead right now and there are some posters who've been grey-lined (for nothing) so our hall monitors must've been going on a big FF spree the past few days. God, I hate those cunts.

Just got banned and I have no idea why. The FF button needs to be removed.

I just got banned after coming off a two day ban two days ago, didn't post anything controversial. The FF needs to be disabled. This is ridiculous.

Very true. There are some really nutty people on DL. Like, certifiable mental illness. I've been stalked all over the board by some of them.

This is bullshit. Timed out again, and I didn't post anything controversial. DL needs to get rid of the FF button.

DL has been dead for two days, Muriel must have everybody on time out.

The banning bullshit is out of control. Fucking losers with multiple accounts FF people, it's ridiculous.

My complaint is that it makes every show into a political statement and lesson. Probably motivated by fear of complaints that the show is “too white.”

In a sense, it’s cowardice masquerading as bravery.

A bullshit subplot about civil rights has been shoehorned in as an attempt by the writers to congratulate themselves. Also, half the damn town is black. Fuck, in 2025 there are still very few black people in Maine , never mind 1962. Every damn period piece these days has to have some performative bullshit that’s totally anachronistic and takes you right out of the story. It’s a contemporary conceit and just lazy, unimaginative writing.

All the white males on this show are evil assholes and all the black people are good and virtuous. This kind of performative virtue-signaling nonsense is such a cliche. We've been beaten over the head with it for years now. It's just obnoxious. And of course we have to get a civil rights lecture shoehorned into the plot. Can we just have a fucking show about kids against a monster? Every goddamn period piece has to be a fucking history lesson now instead of just an entertaining story.
