      We need more upstanding citizens like you in this world.

      It’s so embarrassing if you threaten someone at knife point, did the whole “your wallet or your life” spiel and then figure out that you actually don’t have your knife with you.

        Smoking causes slow, lifelong issues that will actually lead them to be in and out of the hospital regularly before they die unfortunately…

            Well you don’t get stage four cancer, it’s not like you can develop “Ultra Instinct Cancer” or anything. You just let it go unnoticed and then when you find it it’s at S4.

              That’s what we need to hope for, which tends to happen since most people don’t like to go to the doctor to hear only “bad news.”

    So a coworker at one point was selling this interesting odds and ends offered me a knife with a lighter on the other side. I did need a knife to open things but I had no real use for a lighter as I don’t smoke but I of course bought it anyway because it was cool. Had this little dial to adjust the size of the flame… Fast forward to later that night bending over with a 6 inch flame coming out of my pocket from the end sticking out.

    I don’t smoke and don’t carry matches or a lighter but have long hair (male) and regularly get asked for a sig and I say I don’t smoke and I get this mean bullshit eye from these strangers.

    Also it’s pretty useful as a bottle opener if there isn’t a corner or another bottle around.

    I carried a lighter for a while. It worked fine when I put it in my pocket, but the first time I whipped it out for someone it didn’t work at all. They say that that happens to lots of guys but I haven’t carried a lighter since that day.
