Finding AI-generated images of locations to be an acceptable alternative to a real photo is soulless. Being good at instruments doesn't change that.

What an amazingly soulless way to think
To be fair, the Japanese factory is probably cuter.

Having quit nicotine, I can say that it's simply a matter of wanting to quit. I do love smoking still, and have a pipe or a cigar roughly every two weeks, but my half-a-tin of 12mg nicotine pouches a day habit is gone.

I miss it, and I didn't want to quit, but it was financially a little silly and that much nicotine causes health effects. You can desire to stop something but also not want to. It seems fair to allow both to be true.

I would buy 3 at that price, good grief.

Thanks, appreciate being called a garbage person. Have you considered having empathy for people with different views than you?
