I was actually thinking about this not 30 minutes ago. Like what would happen if they did? Would they leave a time period so that people would have time to go off them, would they offer more sorts of nicotine patches/stuff. Would society crumble?
They are just so bad for you and plus I think they are a public nussiance. If someone smokes in my car or near me I can usually smell it for a couple days.
I never take taxis in the UK when drunk whereas I used to quite a bit back home. That is in part due to public transport, part due to local pubs and part due to cost. Going across town at 3AM could cost 50 quid easily and that just grates.
I wouldn't use a black cab. The trick is finding the reputable private hire firms and it usually helps to split the fare with someone.
When I lived in suburban Glasgow, the eight-ish miles to and/or from the city centre tended to be about a tenner. Though these days the night buses are better and the queues tend to take less time than it takes for a cab to arrive on weekend nights.
London's taxi set up is pretty maddening. Back home we have a dozen or so taxi companies, all with clean, comfortable cars and they were always available whenever needed - by flagfall or by calling. It really wasn't a hassle at all. In London it apparently can't be that easy
Transport for London has really lax standards for private hire operators relative to most other local authorities across the UK. It's kind of strange. The biggest city in the country is the one where any twit with an F-reg Sierra can set up as a minicab firm for about £300.
I think if you have curly hair you should just wear it curly
my wife straightens her hair like once every couple of months and I don't like it much
but it also took her years to find hair products that make the curls soft instead of crunchy, and learn how to care for her curly hair properly and blah blah
and her haircuts are mad expensive because she goes to a curly specialist
My dad is totally the opposite. My mom has curly hair, but has been straightening it (with styling tools) since before I was born. She asked me to style hers like I do mine and my dad totally doesn't like it. Well, he just claims he likes it better straight, and that it's "not terrible" curly. To be fair, he also thinks my curls are "too wild." As if I can help this.

Oh, phew! Well that is different. Go to the store and buy yourself some Pantene... "heat styling tool" spray. I forget exactly what it's called. But essentially it's just a little spray bottle and you spray it on the section of hair you're about to iron before you iron it. It might make the sizzling sound, but it's okay. This will protect your hair. Just flat ironing bare hair will damage it sooo much.
I will try this!
See I have good colour but I'm really tired of it being curly as fuck, so I figure I'll straighten it and go for Irish goddess stereotyping. And then maybe dye it black and go for a severe French dominant thing.

I didn't notice he did until he was halfway done. He never asked or anything. I just hate smoking in general.
Well that guy is a total asshole. I've never met a smoker that hasn't asked before doing something like lighting up in a car or indoors.
Yeah same here. My friend smokes a lot but a) never smokes in the house, never even thinks about smoking in the house and b) asks to smoke in my car every time. The only time he doesn't ask is when he's driving his car, and generally he lights some incense to help with the smell (windows are open too, of course)

how can a company composed entirely of engineers not be able to fix the fucking air conditioning in this fucking building?
My company does the most maddening thing.
It doesn't turn the air conditioning on until 0830 to save energy. Which is laudable, I suppose, but it basically means the place is unbearable until about ten.

when i smoked, i never smoked in someone's house, and never smoked in a car unless they gave permission (I generally didn't even ask).
this last week i spent some time with my brother who still smokes, and it reminded me of what a pain in the ass it was to need to constantly excuse myself, and what a pain it was to put up with all those timid souls who for some reason felt empowered to glare at you if you were smoking in a public place outdoors.
Ahah, now encounters like that are why I don't think it's boring to take the good guy path in rpgs. Asari woman on Illos who was trying to enforce a punitive contract on some settlers because she hates aliens. And taking the paragon conversation path you literally turn her inside out and back again just by talking to her about her family.

You pretty much do the same thing with the Renegade option if I recall correctly.
You're just more blunt about it. Basically you go "Hey, I realize you're pissed off about what happened, but being a racist dick to these humans won't undo what happened. These people have lost loved ones as well."

what? did he say something mean to you? i'll get him good if he did!
Nooooo
I even put a disclaimer there that I wasn't being serious!
Actually it is neat when people I recognize from other subforums start posting here, but I also feel obligated to give them crap in a joking manner.
