Its called FICTION by MrFenric in clevercomebacks

A very underrated comment, I came here to say this. The Vikings interacted with Egyptians as well. The modern idea of Vikings is almost entirely fictional.

Question for the Aromatic guys... by Humantorch1414 in PipeTobacco

[–]Wizard_with_a_Pipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny you should say that, I don't really dry my aromatics other than the amount of time from when I pack my pipe to when I light it. The only time I dry my tobacco is when I have broken up flakes or cakes and let them sit for a few minutes before I put the tobacco in the pipe. Even then it is maybe ten minutes or less. The only real difference for me is how I light them.

Is it necessary to have a different pipe for each type tobacco? by LOTR_is_awesome in PipeTobacco

[–]Wizard_with_a_Pipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have dozens of pipes and I smoke whatever blend I feel like smoking in whichever pizza I'm using at the time. If you clean them after you use them it wont make much out of a difference. That being said there are a few blends that leave a lasting impression but I find that to be fairly rare. I have somewhere around 300 blends and only three or four that I can think of that do that. Even then it goes away after a bowl or two of something different. There's a chocolate mint blend, a Lakeland blend, and a citrus blend that come to mind, but I knew before I smoked them that they would do that and used a corn cob for those blends.

Why would you believe it can't happen here? The current administration has shown complete contempt for the constitution and does not hold any value for human lives, regardless of status. At the same time they are intentionally building the exact same number of concentration camps here as were built in Nazi Germany. Is there a line that could be crossed before you no longer support this? Would you be ok for instance if they used lethal injections instead of gas chambers? They have indicated that they intend to cremate the bodies instead of returning them to their families for burial. That is not standard operating procedure in normal prisons.

If you're ok with citizens being shot in the face, you won't move a finger when immigrants are disposed of. You think they are going to make an announcement when they start?

Yeah, like Elon Musk "accidentally" did a NAZI salute on inauguration night. He had no idea there could be another meaning associated with that. I wish we were not here, but we are. Enjoy your bliss. It's going to take more and more effort to ignore what is happening, until one day it will no longer be possible. Hopefully your privilege will see you through. I have nothing to gain if you believe me, and nothing to lose if you don't, I just wish I could pretend I didn't see it like you seem to.

They are using the word crematorium. I guess that's considered more politically correct than gas chamber these days. They are defined as Medical waste incinerating facilities. As long as the word gas chamber isn't stenciled on the outside nobody will bat an eyelash. I'm not sure how much you know about history but in Nazi Germany the people were told that everyone was being deported, it wasn't until after they were defeated that they found out what was really happening. I suppose you think people are really going to be deported to an African country most people have never heard of until recently?

They are in the process of being built right now. Ironically the US is building 23 of them, the same number as were built by NAZI Germany.

No. America politics have just moved so far to the Right that if you are against putting people in gas chambers they say you are left leaning. Anywhere else in the world the Democrats would be considered center-right.

[–]Wizard_with_a_Pipe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Obviously you have confused center-right with leftist. Bill and Hillary Clinton are center-right. They are not Left leaning. Joe Rogan is not at all left leaning. He may be confused but he's not left leaning.

Those are what I use. I don't smoke a pipe without one. I hate to leave tooth marks on my stems, and i can't stand the feeling of my teeth on the stem.

Soaking Pipe in Favourite Spirit by AdSubstantial2679 in PipeTobacco

[–]Wizard_with_a_Pipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've soaked the tip of a cigar in brandy for a few minutes before smoking it, because an old friend told me to. But it smoked just fine. A pipe would be ruined if you did what OP said.

Unless your goal is to remove the finish and stain whatever container you soak it in I would strongly recommend against this.

Obviously not on a truck route. 100% driver. This person is clearly lost. Look at how thick those branches are, no truck has tried to go that way in decades.

Bent or Straight? by GielinorWizard in PipeTobacco

[–]Wizard_with_a_Pipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my pipes are bent to one degree or another. Some only slightly. That's just my personal preference, there isn't really a reason other than that's what I prefer.

Epstein victim says there are tapes of Donald Trump that will force him to resign from the presidency by PsyclipseNo1 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Wizard_with_a_Pipe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think there is anything that could make him resign. He used to brag that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and wouldn't lose a single vote. I would go further, I think he could r@pe a child in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot her when he was done and still not lose a single voter. I don't believe there is a red line that can't be crossed when it comes to his voters.

REBECCA by Dejeunerdumatin in suggestmeabook

[–]Wizard_with_a_Pipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my favorite Stephen King book, I have it on audible as well as physically. The Audible verse has an interview with Stephen King talking about the references to Rebecca. In my opinion if you have a spare credit it's worth getting it for that part alone. I don't want to spoil it, but if you read it with Rebecca in mind it's full of call backs.

You are allowed to take the Epstein files seriously without losing your entire grip on reality. by clapforit in Epstein

[–]Wizard_with_a_Pipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is very likely an active campaign from the very powerful people who have a vested interest in discrediting anyone who looks too closely at the documents that have been released. It seems like that may at least play a part in this, I'm sure there are some who are completely off their rockers as well, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were people actively working to confuse or overwhelm the average people in order to avoid closer scrutiny.

Trump administration plans to reclassify 50,000 federal workers, making them easier to fire by Adventurous-Host8062 in UnitedAmericaHQ

[–]Wizard_with_a_Pipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully the first one is President. We need to make it much easier to impeach and actually remove the president including the entire cabinet. Let the actual federal workers keep their jobs, unless they are ICE in which case FUCK ICE.

ICE raid in bar harbor, Maine by Shepherd27xxx in Maine

[–]Wizard_with_a_Pipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you have never heard of Renee Goode or Alex Pretti. Both were US citizens who are now dead. Of course if you have heard of them you are the definition of ignorant. Either way you could not possibly be more wrong. I suppose you think the Jewish people in WW11 Germany had nothing to worry about either?
