I was fortunate enough to have some creative input into our browser policies at work. Needless to say, Adnauseum ublock origin and some password safe extensions got added to the allow list

My parents quit smoking a few years ago, my mom had tried unsuccessfully to quit a few times, and what finally did it for her was getting a really bad cold during a really bad cold snap so she really didn't want to go outside to smoke. Then since she quit I think my dad just kind of hopped on the bandwagon with her.

But I remember one time, a year or two later, being at a party at their house with some friends sitting outside, and my one friend who is a smoker lights up, and she told him to come sit next to her because she still really liked the smell.

So different strokes for different folks I suppose.

Doesn't smoking suppress your sense of smell? I wonder if they couldn't smell how bad it is while they were still smoking.

Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you!

Are u referring to podcasts in spotify? You can circumvent ads here as well by downloading the episode, and then listening to it with wifi/cellular turned off. Or just use a third party website that let's you convert and download an episode into an mp3 file.

On youtube music you can get rid of 'em with just uBlock and SponsorBlock
