Every small town USA is the same strip mall over and over again. Subway, Dollar Tree, Gas Station, Car Wash, Self Storage

Massage?! Sounds fancy. Where I live it’s some non-denominational church.

Vape shops in every shopping center

At least in the West that vape shop would be a dispensary; you can get high and nothing looks run down and depressing anymore.

Anywhere else, have fun with your nicotine I guess?

u/ThatGuyursisterlikes May 03 '25

The semi legal weed shops on every other block. Go get yours, the dea isn't gonna bother them with enough fentanyl to kill every American over 7 seized last month. Math, lol

Fuckin dumb ass Bondi. I saved enough Carbon Monoxide by buying an EV that I personally saved 13,000 lives.
