If you're a sixteen-to-twenty-four-year-old male, you should be smoking cigarettes.

I've always been crazy neutral about smoking. I just don't care. It was pretty normal when I was a kid, and all the old people smoked everywhere, so it doesn't make me angry, or even slightly annoyed. Honestly, the smell of someone hygienic smoking a cigarette is sorta nostalgic. (Though yeh, stale cigarette smoke is an awful smell. If you smoke, you better be eugenically obsessed.)

But to me, no matter what you think about health, the greatest argument against smoking is the fucking cost. I could never justify paying those prices. It's like people decided paying rent once wasn't enough in a month, so they opt to pay it twice. I've seen poor folk very regularly walk between businesses picking used cigarette butts out out of those ash-trays on trash cans because they can't afford the entire second rent thing. That's crazy as fuck to me.

Politics is distracting as fuck for me and I don't know how to limit its impact without going blind. I try just reading Associated Press or Reuters but always end up drifting to the more ideological media.

@Arawak

Limit your reading. If you aren't, like, active on the ground floor in anyway, involved with grassroots organization or whatever, then your constant attention doesn't really do anything. We're all peasants in this game. If it makes your feel better, Trump hasn't reached the finals for "Worst President" yet. We've had it way worse.

...and there isn't anything inherently wrong with reading ideological media. Centrism is an ideology in itself, you can't escape it. Just don't get addicted, or carried away, or stuck in some sort of black-and-white thinking where you think the other side is all evil idiots or some shit. I do think there is a difference between ideological media, which looks at news from a pre-set perspective, and fake news, which is tabloid bullshit. It gets confusing because most major news outlets dip into all three buckets.

What annoys the fuck out of me is when we start getting distracted by the stupid stuff. Like, "Oh no, the President is golfing." We hear that shit about every fucking President. It's pretty damned irrelevant. Or the thing about him staying at Mar-A-Lago. Like, that type of thing isn't weird either, but everyone freaks out. The Presidency isn't a station like a cash register. They can move around and still do President things.

I don't recall the Secret History of the Mongols even mentioning the Great Wall. It's been a while since I read it though.

China has a wall and almost no Mexicans, so I'd say they're the masters of preventing foreign invasion.

So all we need now is a Chinese architect.
