    So.... on topic.
    I ended up destroying my appetite for dipping tobacco when I gave up nicotine for Lent. The money I've saved so far is going to go towards a sleeve. It's slow going though because I was always able to meter my usage to a tin ($7) every four or five days.

    But don't you ever look at the money and feel bad then pay your student loans instead with it?

    I'd be the walking dead without the caffeine.

    Well, same here. I prefer caffeine in my coffee, but others don't. Why judge people based on what they drink?

    What's the point of a carmel brûlée latte? Seriously that is the lamest coffee ever. It's like a warm caramel milkshake. My 7 year old drinks carmel brûlée latte's. Do you have an umbrella with a cherry with it? Cute and adorable.

    It tastes quite good and even if it were for kids, it certainly wouldn't be the first thing I like that was made for kids and I'm not ashamed of that at all. I am enjoying the joint effort of attack though. It's like five flies bugging me instead of one. Still futile.

    That's good. But why waste money on lame syrupy quasi-coffee? When you grow up try some proper coffee. You won't go back plus much better investment. Much better. It's unconscionable to pretend to love coffee but drink syrupy milky frothy toddler stuff.

    That's cool. Not including you. So.. I have cousin who has many tattoos that don't look bad. I know she can't be making a ton of money but she has them. Clearly many people are addicted to the process. I've always wondered if some people get them to try to feel more complete. Or maybe they're using them to fill some perceived void in the way people try to escape with sex, drugs, gambling, et cetera. Obviously it's just a fashion thing for some hipsters though.

    You're kinda (really) judgmental, aren't you?

    If they were wise they'd try to do that by posting in the section of a Star Wars forum that doesn't allow you to talk about Star Wars, huh?

    I was just speculating. I have a hard enough time expressing myself in person. This format can be harder for me. My brain may not filter like yours. I am not saying anything to be unkind. I am always curious about the world around me. I'm noticing this isn't a very good format or welcoming place for me to try and communicate with others.

    To be fair, you moved from one of the least-deadly places on Earth to one of the most-deadly places on Earth, which also lacks squirrels... sooooooooo... :p

    Also, this thread is lol...

    I can appreciate that. I was mostly just teasing. You're fine in my book.

    No student loans, paid my way through community college by going a bit slower and working full time during it.

    In the worst case scenario, he's lying. I'm not sure what significance it would have. Either way he's expressing regret about how he came off, and backing away from the idea that he was disparaging anyone. That seems to be the most salient point.

    Well it's always refreshing to know when someone is being an accidental ****wit rather than being a ****wit on purpose.

    **** it, we're a pack of strays anyway. Taking a pop at tom because he doesn't use caps was not your finest hour, because if you can see past that, he's usually the one round here who makes the most sense.

    You'll either find your place within the forum (eventually), or you won't. Be yourself, and let the Darwinism take its course.

    It's ok, anyway. Leoluca Randisi harvests all of the capital letters tom doesn't use, loads them into a blunderbuss and splatters them across the forum.

    The net result is a beautifully chaotic balance.

    Well, it wasn't even so much that he made a remark about tom not using capitals. It was that he seems to think that tom forgets to capitalize. Every time?
