Everybody in Japan smokes, yet they have the longest life expectancy on the planet.

Patrick says

But smoke is carcinogenic. Maybe nicotine gum should be unregulated and legal to buy without id. The prices are crazy. It's probably even more profitable than plain tobacco.

Oh definitely more profitable. It's the reason why vaping (which has never been shown to cause long term damage despite the best efforts of BigPharma, the FDA, and Tobacco Lobby) is frowned upon by Government, when it should be encouraged in bars (at least) to reduce smoking.

Britain does the literal exact opposite of the USA - you can vape in most bars. But then again, Britain doesn't farm tobacco and the NHS pays for treatment, so there's no incentive to do otherwise.

I'm looking forward to shopping at Trader Joe's without a mask.

Take pics/video. Maybe we'll see Karen Konfusion

"Wear ya mask"
"Are you vaxxed! I am! Did ya get the vax?"
"Just wear ya mask before you kill grandma!"
"Prove to me you've been vaxed!"

Lol, it would be fun to say "Just because you didn't get the vaccine doesn't mean I'm obligated to wear a mask around you."

But that would be dishonest. I'm never going to get that horrifying biological agent injected into me.

I think I'll just say nothing and smile.

The paradox of the Japanese having a long life expectancy (although they may smoke) might be the result of a couple of things.

1. The diet in Japan is healthy compared to the American diet.
I was in Japan for a couple of months and I ate out every meal. I lost a lot of weight.
2. Japanese society is competitive, but in another sense less stressful than some places because of customs.
It’s truly “civilized”, not rude. The language has polite forms. The rudest thing you can say in Japanese is “you look like a fool”.

My theory is more Japanese would die of heart disease because of smoking, but the lack of fats in the diet may slow down the clogging of the arteries damaged by the smoke.

I recommend people visit Japan, it has a lot of natural beauty and people are nice.

3. When somebody dies their relatives bury them w/o reporting to the authorities and keep collecting their pension for years or even decades. This is what the newly-elected mayor of Kyoto has discovered when he set upon visiting 10 (or 20) eldest residents of that city, famous for having the most residents over 100 y.o. Not a single one could be found. =))

Lol, that may explain Japanese "longevity".

Pickled/Salted* Vegetables seems to be a common thing to long lived people, and a lot of Seafood

(Greek Islanders, Scandinavians, Japanese)

* And I mean Assaulted.

Armenians make pickled vegetables as well, and are famous for their longevity.

Everybody pickles vegetables. It's a basic preservative method. It is probably as old or older than making alcohol.

Doesn't pretty much everyone in Europe make pickled vegetables?

That may be true.

When I left my grandmother's village in Poland after visting, they sent me away with a bottle of vodka and a jar of pickled mushrooms, apparently things they valued.

The really ironic part is that Pantyfa is pure fascism, black-clothed people looking for others to assault based on their political beliefs.

Kinda similar to how CRT is easily the most racist ideology ever devised.

Oops, maybe it was created in a lab funded by Fraudulent Fauci:

CHINO, CA—Local man Brad Zwygart says he no longer can form opinions of his own, as he always waits to see what major corporate brands have to say on any given issue before he decides what he believes.

Zwygart says he holds off on all thought-forming activity when first encountered with an issue. His first stop? Social media, so he can see what all the billion-dollar corporations believe, since they're clearly moral authorities on all major issues.

"I'm not sure what to believe about the trans movement. Let's see what Oreo has to say," he said yesterday as he pulled out his smartphone. "Oh, lookie here -- trans people exist. Perfect!" He then checked other corporate brand accounts out to find out what he should believe about gun control, BLM, the minimum wage, and the Equality Act.

"Perfect. So much great corporate knowledge on here. Thanks, corporate brands!"

The man then put his phone away and took a sip of coffee, smiling as he looked out the window, content in the knowledge that he believed exactly what all the major U.S. corporations believe on everything.

At publishing time, Zwygart had begun refreshing Arby's Twitter feed to see what they had to say about the bombing of Syria.

Why? The lego bricks are "hermaphrodite" anyway.

https://reclaimthenet.org/tiktok-deletes-dr-fauci-impressions/

TikTok, owned by a Beijing-based company with links to the CCP, has banned satirical impressions of Dr. Anthony Fauci, USA’s top epidemiologist, the president’s chief medical adviser, and Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

Comedian Tyler Fischer, whose Fauci satirical impressions have gone viral, took to Twitter to blast TikTok for banning his content for violating its community guidelines.

“My Fauci impressions are starting to be removed from TikTok for breaking “community guidelines.” Censorship causes extremism, cause now I have to do my impressions door to door like a psychopath,” Fischer tweeted.

Gosh, a Chinese company very sensitive about people knowing that FAUCI IS A FRAUD ? Might lead one to suspect that Fauci was working for China (and his own profit and power) all along.

This guy is great:

Lol, perfect, and entirely true.

It's akin to asking the Pope to sell his golden throne to feed the poor.
