Good luck, comrade! Quitting nicotine is absolutely no joke. I tried several times but the only thing that made me quit cigarettes was vaping. I’m still addicted to nicotine, of course, so this is absolutely not advice for you.

The thing that can be understood as advice, though, is that the main reason why vaping made me stay away from cigs was the fact that it replaced the smoke break ritual. My ADHD ass gets bored very easily, so I started smoking because it was an excuse to say “fuck this” at work or school and just go outside for ten minutes.

My point is, try to find something that engages your attention for short periods of time and takes you away from situations that would trigger your “I need a smoke” reflex. Short walks, stretching, fidgeting, doodling, whatever works for you. I replaced that smoke break with vaping, but don’t be a dumbass like me, no half measures, Walter. Kick that nasty habit for good.

All the most popular streamers target young teen and preteen boys and mostly just scream a lot and act extremely dramatically. Be slightly homophobic, and do a lot of fuck boy shit on stream like hit on other female streamers, bring in hot women on stream, do tinder live, etc

Well, I intend to teach English, so I’ll be streaming live today on twitch, “is it gay to understand the present perfect?”

In all seriousness, I’m not really aiming to be huge and famous, just enough of an audience to make a bit of money on the side while having fun playing games and talking about them, so I hope I don’t have to compromise my values too much lol

I’d be using my camera, voice and face, so I don’t think here would be good on account of the self-doxxing rules, but I’ll have to learn more about self-promotion, which is something I’ve never really done.

Thanks for the advice, I feel like I still need to become more familiar with streaming in general, I don’t follow anyone closely, I mostly watch clips from streamers, but I don’t really sit down and watch any of them live. Do you happen to follow any? I’ll check ZainoTV out later today

Thanks! I’ll check it out!

it is! that’s from chappie, it’s a pretty fun movie by the guy who made District 9

I think it looks great, just make sure to keep it short like that otherwise you might end up developing a parental bond with a defective south african police android

hey, it’s me, your coworker! I love that song so much

we’re really speedrunning the torment nexus aren’t we

absolutely phenomenal movie by the way, just not a world I’d like to live in

that’s rich coming from the only person who would come back from a day working in a coal mine actually cleaner than they were before

Fun fact, the em dash is also the standard punctuation for dialogues in books written in Portuguese, like:

“How are you?”

“Not very well,” she answered.

— Como você está?

— Não muito bem — respondeu ela.
