An end to sexualization of underage characters, to start with.

I’m not even kidding, https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(United_States)

It celebrates the the genocide of the Native Americans.

Hmm, so there is still a flickering ray of hope left.

This was probably one of the handful of times I went back to reddit in 2 years, hoping that the blatant genocide would have some sane noises rising up. I was stupid to think so.

Just reading the pinned post on r/worldnews makes me recoil with the unending racism, genocide denial and the cheering of the killings. I wonder if most of the Westoids are just so far gone or purely evil.

How could you miss the Ukronazi flag?

Why is “private forest ownership” a thing?

At the risk of sounding corny, what worked for me was to mentally move cigarettes into a category of stuff I’ve put out-of-bounds in my head (like cocaine or crack). Even more corny is that an act of renunciation (like actually breaking a bunch of cigarettes and throwing them in the trash) helps me to flashback if I ever think about it.

But relapse happens and sucks. To lower the chances; avoid being near people smoking(doesn’t mean avoiding those who smoke), stop or limit activities that you pair with smoking (like drinking).

If you ever do relapse, get rid of the box as soon as possible, if you keep it within reach, sooner or later you will reward yourself with just 1 more and you know how it goes from there.

Another thing that helped me was to start hitting the gym and running, it got rid of the last traces of craving I had.

Good luck comrade!

I strongly agree with this. A problem might be the way sorting works, a comment at the top would have the implicit perception of a higher score, even with hidden scores.

Thanks, I wouldn't mind reading history focused on America but once I get a macro understanding of the history. It might take my incompetent brain some time to digest all the suggestions here but I'll get there

I like this one a lot, thank you!

I appreciate this recommendation, thanks! Do you have any suggestions for books that are not centered around America?

Did they just used “anti-fascist” as an insult?

The Schrödinger argument, there is freedom or not based on what you ask.
