It's called child exploitation, "sextortion" makes it sound like a Cirque du Soleil performance.

Funny because they literally punch a hole in your license ala a Baskin Robbins card after your license is suspended.

I argue that vaping is far far worse than cigarettes given that the ability to "smoke" indoors is much greater.

I recently quit smoking after 6 or so years. I had no choice due to $$ and problems maintaining a state id (super fucking hard if you don't have a physical address mailbox). I used to walk 3 to sometimes 15 miles a day as long as I had smokes. It was forcing me to get the fuck outside multiple times a day. Chain smoking plus cardio seemed to have a extremely positive effect on my blood pressure, because when I quit smoking, I completely stopped going outside 100%, save it for a minute or two throwing out the trash. My blood pressure SKYROCKETED and remains so ever since I was forced to quit smoking 🚬. Crazy but true.

I had literally zero issues going through the quitting process thanks to the nicotine gum (niccorette branded gum, the Amazon off brand had zero sweetener). It completely killed off the intense cig cravings I would usually get during no smokes periods. After a month and a half, I completely stopped going for the gum without even thinking about it. Done and done.

I'm constantly hearing others switch to vaping to stop smoking. I imagine if I was vaping, my addiction to nicotine would be much worse than with smoking, because the temptation to smoke (vape) would be easier to succumb to if I were able to smoke (vape) indoors. Above all, it is the nicotine that drives the urge to smoke (vape), it changes certain brain receptors and it's irreversible. It takes many years for the receptors to return to normal after smoking cessation, at least that's how it was for me the first time I quit smoking around age 21 two decades ago. Back then I quit cold turkey and it took 2 years for the random cig cravings to go away.

In the ever so pretensious words of Walt Whitman...

"English is the greatest language ever!! It's as great as life itself! Also death!"

Much much better.

We used to bust out GTA2 as a "break game" during 48-72 hour Quake lans.

If you manage to get your hands on the Playboy PDF full dump, the articles contain stuff very similar OPs quote.

Not sure about old timer Playboy's but the mid to late 2000s have quite a few incredible articles. Lots of them are future predictions by various in the know type individuals. I notice some articles and or "write ups" had zero editorial oversight. None. It makes for some refreshingly honest opinions. No holds bar essentially. Some of the tech predictions are mind blowing.

The "nudy pics" are an annoyance. Given today's pron desensititation, the air brushed titties and mia bushed out vaginas are weak af, not to mention the lack of "moving pictures". I just scroll past them along with the ads until I reach another article section.
