Keanu doing side quests

Post image

Keanu Reeves made his professional auto racing debut on Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the Toyota GR Cup, part of the Indy 8 Hour sports car event. 🏁😮

The 60-year-old Hollywood star spun out into the grass at Turn 9 midway through the 45-minute race but continued driving without injury.

Despite qualifying 31st out of 35 cars, Reeves briefly ran as high as 21st and finished 25th, successfully avoiding a crash on the first lap.

Driving the No. 92 BRZRKR car, which promotes his graphic novel ‘The Book of Elsewhere,’ Reeves has another race on Sunday.

Is there nothing he can't do

quit smoking

edit: not judging, himself said so

At this point I'd say he's welcome to such a mild vice.

u/1stAccountWasRealNam Oct 06 '24

Nothing mild about what habitual smoking does to you.

u/SlylingualPro Oct 06 '24

And yet when compared to any other addictive substance it's mild. I never said it was healthy. But it doesn't intoxicate, it doesn't make people go broke, and it doesn't affect others.

As with many vices though quantity is key. Idk how much he actually smokes, but I haven't heard anyone meet him and say "it was fine, but he reeks of cigarette smoke"

Since even occasional smokers still can have the snell stick to clothes for a bit afterward I'd probably guess he's much less than a pack-a-day smoker.

I'm agreeing with you btw. Keanu always comes across as having a good head on his shoulders, so I'd wager it's unlikely any vices actively get out of control for him.

Who the fuck cares if he smokes? If he smells like an ash tray who the fuck cares

Right, it just makes you die horribly. So mild.

u/AggravatingOwl4 Oct 06 '24

You smoke, you get lung cancer. You don't smoke, you still get lung cancer. Life's not fair, enjoy your vices if they don't harm others.

u/Incontinento Oct 06 '24

You smoke, you are ~22 times more likely to get lung cancer.

Make the decision for yourself and limit how it's able to reach children's hands and leave it bud. Everyone is entitled to make their own decisions about their body

u/Incontinento Oct 06 '24

Weird how I didn't say any of that, Bud. I said it's not mild, and it isn't.

u/SlylingualPro Oct 07 '24

Except it absolutely fucking is when compared to things that hurt others and you should let adults make their own decisions without being a judgemental prick.

It gives cancer and absolutely can make people go broke

u/SlylingualPro Oct 07 '24

If you don't have enough money to smoke without going broke that is the fault of the system and your employer.

Are you a child?

u/Slimxshadyx Oct 07 '24

It is the fault of your employer if you go broke spending money on a highly addictive substance?

Are you a child? Lmao

u/SlylingualPro Oct 07 '24

Do you have any idea how much tobacco costs? Again if you can't afford a single luxury then yes. It is the fault of the system and your employer.

Sorry that I understand real world economics.

I understand you have a hate boner for other people expressing their freedom.

But resorting to pretending that tobacco of all things is causing people go broke is dishonest at best and an indicator of your unintelligence at worst.

doesn't affect others

So I take it we solved the problem of secondhand smoke then?

u/SlylingualPro Oct 07 '24

It's already been tackled at length in this very thread. Read it or don't but I'm not repeating myself because you didn't scroll.

u/Carktorious2010 Oct 08 '24

Cocaine addict here. Now I just smoke cigars. Would much rather have the cigar habit. Either one isn’t good tho

My sister died a horrific death due to lung and throat cancer. Masturbation is a mild vice.

u/Bluetron13 Oct 06 '24

Question: how is masturbating a vice? Genuinely curious since (at least for men) there is a real health benefit of reduced prostate cancer chances but I’m also of the “abuse of anything is bad” school of thought

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '24

It was the only thing that lept into my so called mind. Sorry. Some devout religious folk teach that its a sin so maybe....?

u/SlylingualPro Oct 06 '24

A vice that doesn't affect other people and doesn't intoxicate and is a choice made by adults is mild. I'm sorry for your loss. Doesn't change what I said.

u/Desperate_Silver543 Oct 06 '24

Yeah because second hand smokers love the increased chances at cancer, no downsides at all to smoking yeah /s

-9

u/SlylingualPro Oct 06 '24

Nonconsensual Second hand smoke has been all but eliminated by public smoking laws. Grow up.

6

u/Desperate_Silver543 Oct 06 '24

You can very much smoke in your own house and fuck up your family, also, I have three separate family members who died of smoking to the point of getting lung/ stomach cancer so yeah, so much for a harmless vice. Im not saying no one should do it, but as someone who lost her dad in her adolescence + had coughing fits through my childhood vc of second hand smoke, my experience tells me that even of u enjoy smoking and see no problems from it, that is YOUR experience, not the norm

u/SlylingualPro Oct 06 '24

And people who do that are bad people. That isn't at all relevant to the man being discussed or what I said.

A couple of you are determined to have me hold up your strawmen and I'm not interested.

Have the day you deserve.

4

u/SirChrisJames Oct 07 '24

So you are a raging douchebag. All it took was a little bit of reading, just like you said.

You have the day you deserve.

In case it's not obvious, it's a shit one. And I hope it's long.

u/Desperate_Silver543 Oct 06 '24

As the daughter of two heavy smokers who did so indoors, grow up

u/SlylingualPro Oct 06 '24

Something which is an absolute rarity in this day and age and is also completely irrelevant to the discussion of the man at hand. Grow up.

u/Desperate_Silver543 Oct 06 '24

Ill say whatever I want because this is a public forum discussing something serious and a topic I care about beyond Keanu.

Saying smoking is harmless or doesent hurt others is a lie, dangerous and I dont need to lie to make you feel better/ win a reddit argument

u/SlylingualPro Oct 06 '24

Show me where I said smoking is harmless and I'll cash app you $500 right now. Otherwise admit you're fighting a straw man because you got butthurt.

You literally claimed not to be a liar and then lied about what I said. Clown behavior. I'm done with you.

Unless you’re jerking off on other people. Most folk don’t appreciate that from my experience.

Excellent point.....
