    Yes I do blame them for their addictions. It’s amazing to me how modern young folks can just pass every ounce of blame off into some other problem.

    I have to buy the pre processed garbage and walk past the produce section that would make a 1900s king jealous.

    It’s Amazons fault for selling all this shit and I just couldn’t help myself.

    The la bubu people made me spend thousands of dollars buying toys.

    All of it is just excuses.

      There’s also a significant portion of people who are spending money on things like Labubus and other luxuries because they have no optimism for the future, and would rather just spend their money on having fun instead of saving up for retirement or a home.

      I meant that if you try cigarettes you will get addicted because that’s just how your body works. Trying cigarettes in the first place because some celebrity told you to is totally on these people though. Sadly most people just can’t think for themselves.

        Don’t start then.

        And if you do start get over it and quit. It’s on you. It’s not meth.
