Intro

I wanna make a post for people to read that isn't too boring, long / short, or cheesy as I have a habit of talking about my emotions + feelings when it comes to this sort of thing, that's mostly what I talked about in my last post... I'm hoping I can get at least someone's attention by writing the right and necessary words on this subreddit... So, where to begin?
I guess I'll start with what I'm looking for in terms of dating. A fresh, warm, healthy and positive long-term relationship is what I've been craving for the last 4¼ years (after getting a taste of it 4¼ years ago then it was instantly taken away), not as in desperate or obsessed with it, more as in yearning for that right person to come along and bring sunshine to my life for the first time in a very long time. Someone who'll accept me for who I am and not care about what I have / don't have, someone who'll understand and accept my insecurities and flaws, not to mention me doing the same for her as well. I wanna have that happy and bright future with that special someone, similar to all the couples I see on Instagram who laugh, joke, tease each other, flirt, do fun activities together both indoors and outdoors, purchase matching items for them to wear and hold dear, hold hands... I want the dream.
However, I do understand that relationships need time to form and grow in a healthy and positive way, so maybe we could get to know each other first and see where things lead?

Personality (100% the truth)

As you might have guessed, I am a hard core introvert. Although I get along with people irl; I briefly chat to them by saying the usual "hello" or "alright?", I then usually keep to myself from them most times to avoid feeling ignored / unimportant / irrelevant in their eyes. This is because I'm not that great at socialising in public places like the club or anywhere else, and also due to the fact that I feel extremely shy whilst meeting new people. However, if others ARE willing to get to know me and want me in their presence, I will perk up and be quite a confident individual once enough time passes :)
Other things you should know about me is that I'm extremely loyal and will never hurt the people I love and hold dear, no matter what. I care too much about the people in my life, including family, and I also will never let them down or disappoint them in any way.
Just a little fun fact about me, my zodiac sign is Cancer ♋️🦀 for those of you who are interested and if that matters to you at all. This is related to what I've just written above in the second and fourth paragraphs.

Hobbies

I'm an indoor type of person. I like:
•Watching TV shows like Doctor Who when new episodes come out, The Simpsons and Hollyoaks 5 days a week, and binging on a ton of movies.
•Listening to music pretty much every single day as I'm a huge HUGE fan of it.
•Gaming on PC games such as GTA, Red Dead, and Minecraft.
•I may stay indoors most of the time, but I DO also enjoy doing outdoor activities like spending my days out in places in the UK like Scarborough, Blackpool, Hornsea and Withernsea. I'm going to a place named Filey late next month so hopefully I'll get to take a load of pics to show you if you're interested :)
•I'm also interested in Photography, taking stunning photos both indoors and outdoors to store and save for later. Wildlife, sea life and everything else in between is what I'm most interested in :)
•Playing different sports such as Badminton, Bowling, Cricket, Dodgeball, Tennis and Volleyball on the beach are activities I really enjoy doing, but I haven't played them recently thanks to a lack of others playing them with me.
•Gardening and working with plants is something that really fascinates me, planting and watching plants of all shapes and sizes grow is everything I've wanted to do since my late high school days. Also getting a bit of sunshine on my neck in the summer does me some good lol.
•I occasionally like doing artistic activities like card making, paper crafting, drawing and painting, but only on special occasions.
•I also like to read from time to time.

Physical Appearance

My appearance is quite normal:
•I'm 5'8 in height (1.73 m)
•Eye colour is dark blue 💙
•I've got quite the decent body shape
•I have no tattoos but I'm considering getting a few in the future
•I've got a small amount of facial hair
•I've got quite a lot of dark brown hair on the top of my head but keep it in control most times with hairspray
•I've got an average to slightly above average face imo (pics can be exchanged if you're interested in knowing what I look like)
•I'm healthy with no health conditions or concerns
•I wear normal clothes such as buttoned t-shirts, hoodies / denim jackets, jeans / tracksuit bottoms, and leather jackets in colder weather.
•I also have a balanced diet as I go grocery shopping at least once a week. I shower 7 days a week and I brush 🪥 everyday too.

Important Topic to Cover

I'm not gonna mention what my source of income is because I don't want anyone to message me just because of that, like so many people have done before.

Preferences In You

I don't have many tbh. Just as long as you
•Live in the UK, or at least in different countries that are close to the UK like Norway, Ireland, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, France, or perhaps even The Netherlands, since all have shorter time-zone differences to the ones in the UK which will make it so much easier to chat at similar times (but you can message me wherever you are on the globe)
•Don't smoke or do drugs
•My age limit is between 18-23, but people that are past that age range can also message me.
•I'm not religious, by any means, but I don't mind dating people who are.
•Come as you are, no sugar coating, be real, be genuine. 🚫No NSFW content please🚫, that's all I ask.
It looks like the Reddit chat is finally redeeming itself by not glitching out every 5 seconds and sending messages to one another on time, so feel free to message me wherever you feel most comfortable on :D

Welp, this is me signing off and seeing what happens now. If you've read this far, then I appreciate you for taking the time out of your schedule to read my post all the way through :) I hope you have a nice rest of your day 🙏🏻👋🏻 Come say Hi if you're feeling up to it! :)

Hi guys, I’m 18F and live in the Netherlands. I’ve been smoking weed regularly from the ages 16 to 17 and a half. When I turned 18 I had the access to buy weed in coffeeshops (we call shops where you can buy weed coffeeshops). I’ve been smoking almost every day and right now it’s taking a toll on me.
Every morning when I wake up I feel like not smoking that day, but I always end up still smoking because ‘why not? It’s fun and it causes no harm’. It’s fun and all but I feel like it has me in a hold. I am physically not feeling really bad but i am noticing the circles under my eyes get darker. My mom even asked me if I had cried. I am mentally also alright. I smoke weed mostly alone because I just like the feeling and the chills, but it also makes me smoke more. Like some people/ most people only smoke with friends.
Now I’ve successfully reduced my smoking weed in the past, it’s also that I don’t want to fully quit. I just need to get through the first 3 days and then just not start using it again until I’m doing it with a friend.
My life right now also isn’t the most interesting, I don’t have school rn to keep me busy and I also don’t have work (1 day per week). I have some hobbies but I most likely stay in bed most of the day.

Hey all
I’m gonna be staying near karon beach and I’ve been looking at weed shops around Karon Beach. Found a few that look awesome (judging by Google reviews and photos of the store) but curious to hear recommendations from locals or from people who have been there
Looking for some in Karon beach and happy to travel further away for a really good shop. After decent pricing and good strains and if they’ve got a cool area to chill and smoke that’s a nice bonus. Especially curious about any shops that sell vape cartridges (though not sure if they’re used over there).
Also are cigars easy to find over there (like a regular tobacco cigar)?
Edit: please no offers to hook me up in the DMs. I’m going to a country where it’s legal-ish. It’s always been my dream to walk into a shop and pick out different strains to try. That’s the experience I’m after. Messaging a stranger on the internet to arrange a meeting in alleyway is an experience I am already very familiar with. Also not looking to do anything illegal on my vacation. Just enjoy some good weed and good food on a beautiful island. Worrying about getting arrested is not part of my vacation plans

It is long one for some background. One night about 11 year ago I was single and going to a bar for couple of cold ones. The last bar you could smoke inside so been there most of the time when I went to town. The bartender knows me and tells me there is a woman who might needs so help. She has left her husband as they are divorcing and she can't stay there any more sick of him bullying her. I looked over and a woman about my age is sitting on a table at the wall. Black jacket high heels and she has very very big...just coming out the top of that jacket almost. All in all pretty sexy looking but also looks drunk. I walked over and started a talk with her, she needed a place to sleep but no hassle or sex or anything like that. I tell her I have a spare room and nothing will happen wat she doesn't want to happen. We talk a bit more and close to closing time I tell her I am going home so if she wants to go with me now is the time. She gets up and goes with me. If we get home I over her a drink(no alcohol) on the couch and tell her to relax. Tell her wat rooms and beds she can choose from. Looking at her big... I look at her and then tell her she is beautiful. She blushes and kisses me before I knew we are kissing like teenagers. Then she opens my buckle and I open her jacket two big... Drop out and a beautiful lace bra comes out. To make a long story short we ended up having a great time and needles to say she stayed in my bed. When I woke up it was because of some great feeling from getting a b job.. Now I am hooked. We make love morning afternoon evening and night. Yes we are having a incredible good connection. But she drinks.. Yes every day. After drinking she loses all boundaries but also controle of her emotions crying and hurting a lot of drama. But also as we are home the lovemaking goes to insane amounts . I can tell you if she wouldn't have come at least 10 times that day she would complain and asking for more. I loved her body and big b. yes I also couldn't stop making love to her. One day, I think beginning the second month she stayed with me, we got home from shopping and I could hardly wait to get into the house just to nail her again ( 5 or 6 time that day) right there I kissed her neck and asked if she wants me. She said she wants me all the time. So I tell her I also want her all the time it's insane. I ask could she forget about underwear in house and always be ready. She looks at me and starts taking her pents of and top I take her right there and from that time she never wears underwear in house again and the lust rools our relationship. Yes we talked about her daughter she missed but sees every day. About her alcoholisme (she stopped day drinking) her problems but also the drama in her life from her former husband. I warned her I am in no need of drama in my life.... But all in all it is like a god send time the amount of lust and purely animal behavior it's insane. After a couple of weeks in our new arrangements, the drama starts going in the wrong direction. She goes to her exes house every day for her daughter making lunch and dinner midday. But she comes to me end of the day after school is out and her daughter with her father. But he, her ex, is getting bitter and starts fighting with her again. I tell her to let go and stop making it worse by going back every day. Just pick up her daughter and drop her off don't go in any more. But she can't she is determined to stay close to her daughter, and by this the drama. Then the phone calls start to my phone and cell the ex starts to push. I asked her how did he get my number, probably her daughters phone. But I don't take that shit calls at my work place house and all that. I tell her to get him to stop and stay away from him. She didn't we are now in month 3. And the day drinking started again. All this time we don't talk about payment or anything she cooks cleans washes the clothes and changes the bed. We make love still about ten times a day I am addicted to her body hard. Her daughter doesn't want to leave her father alon. So the drama doesn't stop till I post a ultimatum stop or go. It's the end of the thirt month and she leaves. After that we didn't have contact for 12 months. Texting from her after that then started calling but my lust didn't subside. We never hooked up again and there has been silence for years now. I regret losing contact and now I worry and hope she is well after these idiotic years. My biggest regret losing her.

Cigars have long been a symbol of sophistication and relaxation, enjoyed by enthusiasts around the world. In the past, finding and purchasing the perfect cigar required a visit to a brick-and-mortar tobacco shop. However, the digital age has revolutionized the way we shop, and buying cigars online has become increasingly popular. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the benefits of purchasing cigars online and provide you with essential tips to ensure a satisfying and secure online buying experience.

1. Wide Selection: One of the most significant advantages of buying cigars online is the access to an extensive selection. Unlike physical stores with limited shelf space, online retailers can offer a wide variety of cigars from different brands, regions, and strengths. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or a beginner, the vast selection available online ensures you’ll find the perfect cigar to suit your preferences.
2. Convenient Shopping: Online shopping provides unparalleled convenience. Instead of driving to a store, you can browse and purchase cigars from the comfort of your home or even on the go. With just a few clicks, you can explore different brands, read reviews, and compare prices. Online retailers often provide detailed product descriptions and customer ratings, enabling you to make an informed decision.
3. Competitive Pricing: Buying cigars online can often lead to cost savings. Online retailers generally have lower overhead costs compared to physical stores, allowing them to offer competitive prices. Additionally, online platforms often run promotions, discounts, or bundle deals that can further reduce the cost of your purchase. With a little research and comparison shopping, you can find excellent cigars at affordable prices.
4. Expert Advice: While you may not have the opportunity to receive in-person guidance when buying cigars online, many reputable websites offer expert advice to assist you in making the right choice. These platforms provide detailed descriptions of the cigars, including flavor profiles, strength levels, and recommended pairings. You can also find educational resources, such as blog posts and videos, that can enhance your knowledge and appreciation of cigars.
5. Secure Transactions: Concerns about online security are valid, especially when making purchases involving financial transactions. However, reputable online cigar retailers employ robust security measures to protect your personal and financial information. Look for websites that use secure payment gateways and encryption technologies. Additionally, read reviews and check for customer testimonials to ensure the retailer has a positive track record.
6. Shipping and Delivery: One potential drawback of buying cigars online is the need to wait for the delivery. However, many online retailers offer fast and reliable shipping options. Some even provide expedited shipping services for those who can’t wait to enjoy their new cigars. Before placing an order, be sure to check the shipping policies and estimated delivery times of the retailer. Consider purchasing from retailers that offer discreet packaging to ensure your privacy.

Buying cigars online offers a convenient and rewarding experience for enthusiasts. The wide selection, competitive pricing, expert advice, and secure transactions make it an attractive option for both beginners and seasoned cigar aficionados. By following the tips outlined in this guide, you can confidently navigate the online cigar market and find the perfect cigars to enhance your smoking experience.

I've got a shortlist of my go-to restaurants, but it's very short and sad. I'm planning on visiting some new places this summer--can you recommend what your favorites go-to's are?
Example: I love dizi sangi for their persian food.
For the best NY slice, I always go for A Slice of NY.
An amazing bagel shop is Izzy's Brooklyn Bagels.
A phenomenal Reuben sandwich can be acquired at Gunther''s Restaurant & Catering.
My favorite BBQ place is Smoking Pig BBQ.

So I work in a smoke shop (Maryland) and we have to fill these humidors up in the mornings. one morning I filled one that looked deceptively empty and it led to water and mold damage of at least 1000$ worth of cigars. It was absolutely my fault, but I’m not really making that much here basically paycheck to paycheck while I’ve been looking for other jobs and I can’t really afford a hit in my check. I just wanted to know if it was legal and if the debt could follow me even after I quit. I haven’t spoken to my boss because my manager said he would try to mediate so I’ll only really know in three days when I get paid and see. The owner has been cool to me he’s not a bad person by any means but this is my livelihood.

CW: Sweet sweet excessive violence
----------
The little skiff drifted lazily along the asteroid belt. In a backwater system, free from prying eyes, the crew had ample time and space to test their newest toy. The ursdain in the pilot’s seat adjusted a couple controls before settling back in his chair. His avian co-pilot was observing the rest of the crew on the security feed.
“What is he doing?”
The ursdain leaned over, “Practicing?”
The avian’s half lidded stare was the only response.
In the cargo bay were the skiff’s other three occupants. A rather burly male human with brown skin and a mostly shaved head was yanking his tomahawk back out of the wooden board he had hung up on the wall. He walked back a few paces before turning and hurling it back at the target.
“Do you have to do that right now?” asked the exacerbated vulptan.
“Nope.” He responded while lining up his next throw.
“Just let him. If he doesn’t keep busy, he’ll keep trying to add ‘modifications.” The red-headed human female interjected while elbow deep in their prototype.
“You’re just jealous of my brilliance.”
“Sure. We’ll call it that.”
Meanwhile as the ursdain began to ponder his next meal a red blip flashed on his display followed by a sharp claxon. He slammed the red alert, “Thakt, we got company!”
The avian was already attempting to jam the enemy sensors, but they’d been made. “They’re on their way! Pirates looking to board!” She keyed the intercom, “Prepare for boarders!”
As soon as the lights went red the man in the jury-rigged shop ran to the new machine. “This thing ready?”
“The targeting computer hasn’t been installed and there’s still the issue of-“
“Can it move!?”
“Yes, but-“
“Strap me in!” He snached up the helmet and mask then climbed in the suit. The women began closing and sealing panels as he donned the helmet, flipped down the visor, and sealed the mask to his face.
“Gonzo! Listen to me. You don’t have a lot of time in that thing, so you gotta be in and out. Alright?”
“Lil, this is what I’m good at. Let me work.” She rolled her eyes as she closed the front up.
He opened then closed his mechanical fingers and rolled his shoulders. The suit seemed to be responding well. He stood to its full height and slammed the dome helmet down over his head. The other two already snatched a couple weapons and ran for the bridge to secure it. He stalked over to the armory bench to pick up some toys and party favors when the com cracked to life in his ear.
“Gonzo? You receiving?”
“Loud and clear.”
“Our only shot at getting out of here is you disabling their engines and breaking whatever they use to mate with us.”
He giggled slightly as he strapped the weapon harness over his mid-section. “Copy. Break shit. Can do.”
The ship shuddered and jolted. “They’re broadcasting for surrender.”
“Sure, I’ll accept their surrender.”
“Funny. They’re about to breach the stern airlock. Get ready.”
Gonzo drew a breath and put his game face on. Their MO is to breach loud and fast. A little shock and awe. He planted a couple surprises by the hatch then took cover around the bulkhead.
“They’re about to breach.” He popped a couple smoke grenades and tossed them down the corridor. Then an idea struck him, and he popped a couple more and thrust them in his harness for a bit of Blackbeard flair. He readied his weapon and checked the other two. All he could do was wait.
A few seconds later the hatch blasted in and two canids rushed into the haze. Gonzo didn’t know how armored they were, but he figured being covered in burning napalm was a bad thing. He leaned the nozzle around the corner and lit up the entrance. The blinding light pierced the smoke and judging from the screams, they weren’t ready for assaulting a weapons manufacturing ship. Now came the fun part of the suit. While the auto-aim and friend/foe feature weren’t installed, it did have a suite of sensors such as sonar, lidar, and infrared.
Gonzo could see the outlines of the thrashing pirates and held his fire. A couple more pirates entered the hall to drag their comrades out. That’s when he hit the clacker. The anti-personnel mines went off, filling the confined space with hundreds of ball-bearings in an instant.
“Hey! We gotta clean all that up when you’re done you know!”
“Relax. I’m advancing now. Give me a map.”
Sure enough, a holo layout of the pirate ship sprung to life in the corner of his vision, complete with the highlighted sections of engineering and security. He advanced through the smoke onto the pirate ship. As he emerged through the smoke, more billowing off him like a demon fresh from Hell, he saw more pirates readying to storm his little craft. They were lightly armored. Shame. With another squeeze and lazy turn, he coated the would-be intruders.
Realizing they bit off more than they could chew, the lights on the pirate vessel began flashing red, and a call to repel boarders went out. Gonzo hustled down the passages headed toward engineering. He rounded the corner and dove back behind the corner as the ursdain with a gatling laser opened up from the other end of the hall. He wasn’t sure the flamethrower would make it to the other side, so he swapped to his baby. He tossed his last smoke grenade around the corner and counted to ten.
When he felt the passage was good and obscured, he held his replica China Lake around the corner and fired. Fwoomp…BOOM! Something wet and red hit the wall beside Gonzo. I think I got ‘em. He pumped another round into the chamber and continued.
He found Engineering easily enough and stormed inside. It was a large room dominated by…Well, the engine he supposed. Gonzo wasn’t an engineer, but he was a 2300. He was about to jog up to the biggest most important looking bit when his legs were taken out from under him. He was quickly bound up in ssypno coils and could hear the suit groaning under the pressure.
“There’ll be no more of that. Now let’s get you out of that can.”
Gonzo struggled to no avail, but he’d be damned before he gave up. He took a breath and forced his arms out away from his body. The suit groaned and struggled to give him the breathing room he needed. When he thought he had the space to work with, his hand shot to his knife strapped to his belt. He drew it and twisted his hand just as the coils snapped shut around him. The pirate stabbed herself in the soft scales of her underbelly just as Gonzo drew his arm around his torso slicing long and deep.
She shrieked as he carved, and quickly tried to slither away, but he snatched a piece of her armor and rode her, continuing to stab and slash at the joints in her suit. She tried to curl in on herself and grab the man with her upper arms. He wrestled with her for a while before he drew his offhand behind her opposing arm then using her own death grip on his main hand bent her arm around his. Her elbow snapped and she shrieked. With brief freedom of movement, Gonzo drew his knife up and plunged it into her sub armored neck. Her tail thrashed and writhed before the life seeped from her.
Gasping and sweating profusely, he drew himself up and stumbled to the drive core. Or what he thought was the drive core. He wasn’t an astrophysicist, but he was sure this thing didn’t like heavy explosives. He quickly rigged up an IED around the biggest glowiest part and set it to go off on his clacker.
He jogged from engineering to security but was stopped in the passages by a couple canids ambushing him. One opened fire with a laser-rifle, striking him in the upper torso, but the armor kept his chest from being cauterized. The blast streaked off the chest piece leaving a red-hot mark. It burned.
“Keep out of fire, Gonzo! I was trying to tell you that the heat-sinks aren’t finished yet!”
There may not have been a new hole in him, but it burned like Hell. He closed the distance to his attackers, too close to use his rifle, and they met him with claw and teeth drawn. The first canid threw themselves at him, knocking him down, and clamping their jaws around where his neck would be. He heard a hiss as something gave way on his shoulder. He fought and rolled to buck them off, but they held fast.
Gonzo decided it was time to draw his sidearm and clamped his hand down on the head of the assaulting canid to keep them in place. The other one tried to claw at his legs, but only found solid titanium alloy. He reached down to his holster and drew the comically oversized revolver, now appropriately sized in the power-armor’s fist. He thrust the barrel under the canid’s chin and fired. Their friends’ helmet rocketing off their head gave Gonzo the brief shock needed to roll the first pirate off him, raise his pistol, and fire point blank at his second attacker. As their head snapped back, he hauled himself back onto his feet and limped into security.
He needed to find a way to release his ship but drew short at the two canids and taurian blocking the consoles. The two canids threw themselves at Gonzo, biting and clawing for all they were worth. The heat in the suit was becoming unbearable. It was starting to sear bits of exposed flesh. Gonzo regretted jumping in in a tank top.
One canid clamped their jaws on his neck while the other went for his legs trying to drop him to the deck. Something snapped to his left and he lost all control of his left arm. It was just a hundred pounds of dead weight. He fell back swinging his pistol around trying to pistol-whip his attackers.
“That’s enough! Just give up and we’ll sell you somewhere nice.” The taurian called out.
Gonzo bucked his hips and fired at the canid by his legs but missed. Repeating what he did before he point-blank lobotomized the canid by his shoulder. With a roll, he popped himself back up readying his next shot when the second canid fell on him. He held his ground as they slashed and leapt to bite.
He caught them in the air and slammed them into the bulkhead beside him. It was nice to be eye level with them for once. He used this to his advantage by slamming his titanium fist into their face and gut repeatedly, feeling each subtle bone crack and snap. The taurian grabbed him under the arms and hurled him to the other side of the room as the last canid slumped down the wall.
The pirate drew some kind of bladed weapon. Big mistake. Gonzo drew his tomahawk, and sprinted forward with his head down. Using all the power in the suit he had, he slammed into her stomach and drove her forward into the wall.
She recovered her breath quickly and began raining blows down on his back and shoulders. The strain was beginning to get to him. Sweat was streaming down his body, stinging his eyes. The suit burned. He bent his knees then shot upright, driving his helmet into her chin. She rocked back in shock and Gonzo took a couple steps back. His left arm was dead. He could only grasp with the fingers. The pirate rubbed her chin.
“Oh, you’ll pay for that.”
Gonzo quickly tossed his tomahawk up and grabbed it by the end, before hurling it at his enemy. It buried in her shoulder, and she screamed. He sprinted at her full tilt with his head down shoulder out and pinned her to the wall. She kept fighting and pushed him back. Gonzo used his hips to swing his dead arm around to the pirate and clamped down with his hand. His hand locked in place as the taurian began to try and ineffectually push him away. Panting, he decided to give her a bit of backward-knee syndrome. He hauled back and put his and his suits’ full weight into a stomp kick right on her knee.
It folded back and she shrieked. Now at chest height he began slamming his fist into her helmet until it warped and broke. He stopped when he saw the stream of blood pour out the bottom.
He tried to make his way to the console, but realized his hand was stuck gripping the dead-weight of the corpse. He planted one boot on its back and pulled for all he was worth. With a fresh souvenir of taurian hide trapped in his grasp, he quickly worked the security console and disengaged the clams holding his ship in place. Once freed, he pulled out his clacker and slammed it. The whole ship rocked and shuddered. Catching his que he limp-jogged back to his ship. The remaining pirates were too busy with damage control as the ship quickly began filling with vacuum. Gonzo found his airlock with minimal resistance and threw himself in it.
“Blast!” he cried as he clutched the safety bar inside the lock. Grokna punched the skiff for all it was worth headed for the nearest jump point.
When the airlock cycled Gonzo limped back into the scorched cargo hold with hydro leaking down his left side. Lil and Korsk sprinted in to check on the man as he clumsily clutched at the emergency releases. The dome helmet fired clean off the top while the chest piece fired out revealing the sweat drenched and burned pilot. The suit dropped to its knees as Gonzo flopped out ripping his mask and helmet off. He gulped at the fresh air and luxuriated in the coolness of the metal floor when he gasped, “I…I have…Some notes…Need…Better cooling…”

So I've been shopping around for a 13" for awhile and my work buddy just got a transfer across the country and he downsized his considerable collection. Unfortunately he didn't have one and refused to sell off his 8.3", but he did give me a smoking deal on a near new 16" after he stripped it back to stock. And now I need some recommendations.
Optics/sights: Picked up a GLx 2x prism, unfortunately I haven't found a red dot that has worked great with my astigmatism and I have a 1x6 lpvo if I feel the need to swap. Occam Defence or CZ scorpion for BUIS
Handguard/stock: As far as I can tell no one makes a new handguard yet, and I don't hate the stock but options are always good
Muzzle Device/foregrip/others: Muzzle device with the ability to mount a can eventually. Fore/angled grip open to all options. Plus everything else I didn't think of or forgot about, it's been a long work week lol. Appreciate it

So I fucked up. I went to my "procurer of marijuana goods" and asked for a cart off the wall, I'm in an illegal state so it's not a dispensary, more a local smoke shop. The guy gave me a THCO dispo, after telling me they "banned them because people figured out they just hit like actual D9." I've researched and since read the THCO horror stories that people have (hospital visits, stomach fuckery, etc.) but I already bought it. It's D8 THCO on a dispo, is it safe to try, since I already paid for it? Or should I trash it?

Hello!
Please delete if this isnt allowed, it wasnt mentioned in the rules or anything but still. What smoke shops do people like around here? Ive been going to Smokehub for a while now but figured id see if anyone has other recs. I am primarily interested in Delta 8 edibles, and also interested in recommendations for the ones sold around here (i dont know if i have a high tolerance, or ive just been buying ones that suck). TIA

Hi all,
Reaching out because last weekend on Memorial Day, my friends and I went to the boardwalk in NJ. I took out my vape (nicotine) and hit it, but as I always do in public places, held it in because I personally don’t even feel comfortable to blow smoke into air when others are around. Two seconds later, a cop asks me for my license. Just trying to comply and because I wasn’t sure if he was looking to see if I was underage drinking or something, I gave it to him. Stupid I know. He started writing me a ticket without even explaining what I did, or even telling me I was getting a ticket.
There are signs that say it’s prohibited once you enter the boardwalk but they weren’t visible and I honestly didn’t know. I told him I understood and would not anymore and he just continued to write away… Anyway, the charge is nearly $500.
I work a 9-5 and can’t afford something like this for something so unbelievable. I want to go to the court date to try and fight it. Is there anything I should or should not say? I do not have the money for a lawyer and I have no clue what I’m doing. My friends seem to think that me showing up in court will help a lot and I hope so. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Is this guy flirting with me?
I'll preface this by saying that I'm autistic. So, it's hard for me to recognize actual flirting. I frequent this smoke shop, and a guy my age works there. He greets me by calling me baby at this point, and he's super kind. I've been in that shop and interacted with him 3 times now. He also has started giving me his friends and family discount. Is it normal for guys in smoke shops to flirt to keep customers coming in or should I assume he's legit flirting? I completely suck at flirting, and I'm afraid to make a fool of myself. So many times people flirt "as a joke" or it's "their personality" and I can never tell if they're being for real and I never pursue. So.. is he flirting? Anyone been in a similar situation?
