Copenhagen was the super super fine shit. Now that I’m thinking about it I think hawken wasn’t puches but was way thicker and not nearly as potent
How should history be taught in high school?

The rumor was that Copenhagen had finely shredded fiberglass in it so you would get tiny cuts on your cheek and gums. That was somehow a good thing since you'd absorb it faster.

This is a great idea. @BradStevens sign up the kid. His grades might slip, but he’ll be getting tons of ass and be a Bitcoiner. And he needs Bitcoin because your communist ass isn’t giving him anything.

Oh, yeah, I remember those rumors. Sounds ridiculous, but everything we know about the tobacco industry now...🤷♂️
You do make a good point. Maybe there was some truth to it roughing up your gums.
The mouth cancer videos they were running for some time should have put an end to all dipping. Fing hell
Jesus Christ, now I'm starting to remember weekends that somehow involved dip and southern comfort and a pool, and I don't understand how any of us are still alive.
I guess you really are invincible when you're 17.
LOL, anyone who dipped more than once in a weekend got blisters, and shrugged them off. "Meh, that's just pre-cancer, no big deal."
That's a topic of conversation every time I get together with high school buddies...HTF are we all still alive?
Goddammit, now you people have me remembering just how stupid high school was. We invited this one girl to one of our parties, and we were all sure she had AIDS because she was a slut, and our buddy took her into the changing room by the pool, and so what did we do? Remind him to grab a rubber? Congratulate him on getting laid? No. We searched the house for fireworks, and bundled them all up and set them off all at once outside the door to ruin their sex.
I'm really losing faith in humanity right now.

All of my Rivals ads are for Wal-Mart now. F*ck you, AI.
Fing frightening. There was one chick in our extended group that a prosthetic leg. She’d get all fckd up and pass out and people would take that leg off. It had like a release mechanism. Then forget where it got left. Poor girl would be sloppy drunk in the middle of a party screaming FIND MY FCKING LEG!!!!
As a father of an exceptionally outgoing daughter I’m praying kids today aren’t as wild. And honestly I don’t think they are. I hope
My parents were really cool in the sense that the only thing they demanded of me was that I never drive home drunk. If we partied, I had to sleep it off and come home in the morning.
One time I walked in at like 11 AM on a Saturday, and my dad looked at me, and simply said, "You sure have a lot of mustard in your hair."
Also, I'm no parent, and I probably shouldn't be, but my read is that, no, they aren't as wild as we were. Kids today are total squares. They might be far more open with whom they have sex with, but other than that, they are pretty boring.
I came out of the womb dipping hawken. Now I just stick the shredded fiberglass and nicotine directly into my gums
It hasn't always been superior. You're correct, that at times China's was superior or Islam. But it undeniably is now. To the extent China is gaining, it is because it has adopted Western notions of science and industrialization. Heck, even communism is a product of the West.
Re Guns, Germs, and Steel, I've never read it but understand the premise.
Losing faith? That story restores my faith.
Not sure how you and your buddies could have been so stupid about her having AIDS though. Everyone in the '80s knew only gay dudes could get AIDS. Heteros were completely immune.
We weren't rocket scientists. We were still making judgments about sex before most of us even had it.
That started before any of you had it. That's like one of the universal things for boys.
I still remember being in 5th grade and announcing that I knew how babies were made. When questioned, my answer was the dad pee'd in the mom's purse. That sounded super gross.
Why is it "Western notions of science" right after you admit at earlier times China or Islam were leading? I am guessing, don't know a lot about Egypt, but guessing their science was good for their time. I don't know of any western civilization that could have pioneered science before Egypt. We know they built the pyramids, an engineering marvel. So should we say the West uses Egyptian views on science?
You haven't lived until you get a lap dance from a one legged stripper.
Classy joint, I tell ya. That jukebox was A1.
OMG, I know that woman's name--Eileen Dover
Wait, so now we're talking about Aliens?
They're just smart enough to know that everyone has a camera in their hand at all times.
Yep. IIRC, ancient Egypt was the first civilization with any law. Maybe that’s because it was among the first with written language that we can study. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if aspects of natural law were part of that.
We were drinking with a buddy one night who was one of those guys who didn’t drink much, but when he did, he would keep drinking until he could no longer raise the bottle. He’d just get stupid, dangerous drunk, to the point of alcohol poisoning.
Anyway, he drank a whole bottle of Johnnie Walker Red and then proceeded to puke it all back up. We were all a little messed up ourselves and we thought he was puking up blood.
We almost took him to the hospital. We were probably 17-18 at the time.
Because the scientific method was developed in the West during the Age of Enlightenment. It's one of the most significant events in all of human history and directly led to industrialization. The advancement of human technology, knowledge, production, and material well-being from that time to the present (~370 years) dwarfs the previous 3,700 years.
They don't smoke real cigarettes or use real chewing tobacco. Everything is a synthetic nicotine injection straight into the blood stream via vape or zyn. They view millennial drinking habits as nothing more than alcoholism. They don't have sex like you said.
They're a bunch of androgynous, phone addicted robots.
I don’t think brainwashing is the best way. In fact I don’t think brainwashing is necessary at all. But that is not to say we should avoid teaching about our inherent virtues and how to improve the system that supports it. We don’t need to present it as perfect, or even the best, but the point is this is what we have and we should make it better. This is part of citizenship.
In conclusion . . . .
So we should teach everyone that they didn’t just fall out of a coconut tree, but they should be unburden by what was and imagine what can be?
I actually like that quote. Perpetuating past historical burdens is a huge limitation, (1619 project).
