Technically it's the Thinkpad, but Thinkpads do serve their purpose very well, unlike fedora hats, which actively make you less cool. This disqualifies the Thinkpad, and in its place Vape Pens and Smart Watches (and Google Glass) fit the bill:

To be fair a there are a lot of douchebags on /g/ that pretend thinkpads are the only good thing out there and shitpost a lot about them. But they are actually really good and even a T410 which you can buy for less than 200 euro's now is more than sufficient for most tasks (and just as good as any new 800 euro priced laptop).

Obviously if you are going to be gaming on them or require graphically intensive tasks they suck ass. But so do most ultra books which cost at least 4 times as much.

Vape pens literally serve no purpose other than to make you look like a douche.

Coming from someone who vapes, its definitely vapemods.

There are essentially 2 types of people who vape.

1. People who have quit smoking, normally middle aged men and heal concious people in theirs late twenties.

2. Teenagers and autists who were to scared to ever smoke but now see it as a healthy way to 'look cool'

This will not ever change, i'm going to slowly reduce the nicotine liquids till i'm down to 0 then stop altogether and get off this train

The vapor is not just water vapor. It's mostly propylene glycol or glycerol. It does contain some water because both those are hygroscopic, and it absorbs some from your lungs/surrounding air, but water is a minor component.

It also usually contains disgusting flavorings which are completely unnecessary for the nicotine high, and which are completely health risks.

No, it's like saying you drink alcohol not for getting drunk but for drinking so you are thinking about switching to water.
Only in this case water is something very new, unusual and kinda expensive to get into.
You obviously haven't smoked for that, I am like OP too, honestly sometimes I feel nicotine too much and I would prefer to smoke without feeling that... "tired" afterwards most of the time.
Maybe he won't love it without nicotine, who knows, but it's a fact that there are many people who switched to ecig and eliminated nicotine consumption completely over a small time frame.

a fedora is a misguided fashion statement. A T420 is actually a decent laptop for very little money, especially if you stick an SSD in. If it was actually shit and people just bought it for the retro looks it'd be a technological fedora.

there are no laptops that can take a beating like a ThinkPad while having a decent keyboard and clit mouse. That's what makes a second-hand ThinkPad such a good idea. No point spending extra money on a laptop that doesn't give you anything more in return

Have you thought outside of your own perspective lately? There are people who vape just for the flavor. It looks like your dwelling on the idea that vaping is in some way tied to smoking tobacco, when in reality it's its own industry and plenty of people who never smoked habitually will use vapes. It's so easy to hate people when you don't make an attempt to understand them.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

This guy has the right idea. Anything that reveals that a random person in public is actually a unique person with their own life should anger us.

Nice samefagging. Either way, you're fucking retarded. As this anon >>51738546 said, the issue isn't with you vaping in public. It's not nearly as bad as smoking a cigarette, because at least someone vaping doesn't cause me to cough up blood. The issue is that these assholes like >>51734801 will walk up to someone and blow shit in their face and be like "WHOA BRO IT'S JUST WATER VAPOR WHAT ARE YOU MAD ABOUT??"
It's fucking obnoxious. It doesn't matter whether you're vaping or fucking injecting heroin, just don't inconvenience me.

Statements like these make it painfully obvious you're either a teenager or manchild. You need to understand that your tastes and interests are not the only ones that exist and should be met.

>And either way, that anon was talking about blowing it in people's faces.

The anon was using a hyperbole to intertwine vaping in public with blowing vapor in people's faces, which are in fact independent of each other. I will assume he meant people exhaling vapor and the airflow in the vicinity carries it to someone else's face, rather than vapors just walk up to people and exhale directly in their face. If the wind carries vapor to your face, get over it and don't whine; you're only trying to be mad for the sake of being mad. There are countless other ways that people in public can annoy, you're simply accustomed to it as opposed to vaping.

>Plus, I don't care who you are, don't fucking walk up and blow shit in my face you goddamn autist.

My advice to you is to get off 4chan and go out into the world. You need more life experience before you can be taken seriously.

This makes me genuinely curious. You're legitimately vaping because you like the flavour. Are you aware that there are non-carcinogenic ways to enjoy strawberry flavour, or whatever flavour it is that draws you to it?
You say that people don't even try to understand, but maybe the issue is actually that you just act incredibly pretentious about how misunderstood you are instead of concisely explaining your point of view.
>>
>>51738677
>nice samefagging
What's the problem with replying twice in a thread? It's not like I'm the OP or trying to don multiple identities. Are you just regurgitating what you observed? See >>51738721, where I explain the inconsistencies that arise when combining "vaping in public" and "blowing vape in people's faces." He knows his argument is weak, but tries to dress it up by suggesting that vaping in public == blowing vapor in people's faces. If he didn't attempt to bolster his argument, he would have simply said blowing vapor in people's faces; which I agree is unacceptable.

Is there a way to conveniently enjoy strawberry flavor without any health risks?
Seeing as I'm replying to others, it's pertinent that I address the fallacies in their point of view rather than simply state my own; it's how arguing works.

Typically replying with multiple points expressing the same point of view is done in an attempt to make it seem like more people agree with your point, thus meaning that you ostensibly were donning multiple identities. If you weren't though, that is my mistake for assuming so.
You're right that vaping in public does not equate to blowing it in someone's face, but in my experience, many people who vape will obstinately demand that you conform their wishes rather than understanding that, for example, most people wouldn't want you vaping in a small room with little to no ventilation.

I replied, lurked, thought, and replied again. I would have had to go out of my way to delete a previous post and combine it with a new one to avoid looking like a samefag. I don't care about that, so I didn't.

A small room with little to no ventilation isn't guaranteed to be public. If it's public and indoors, it is unacceptable. If it's a private location, then I say the vaper(s) should be courteous just as the people around them should be; most people won't care one way or the other if they're in good company.
