Yeah, they had the happy days. At the cost of ours. They had everything, while ruining it for the future generations. And now they are complaining they aren’t getting enough money and respect. They aren’t even saying sorry or anything. I mean, sure, they can earn my respect but at least they have to do something first to earn it: fucking die already.
Omg kids these days am I right better work themselves out of this that’s what we did and now they wanna take my pension why would they do that we did such great things for those unruly brats eating avocado toast and swearing on their internet
To be fair, it wasn’t so much “them”, but a very very tiny percentage of them that silently took over everything and ruined if for us just as much as them.
Sure. My parents weren’t one of those “few”. Yet they do complain. “Oooh our pension is barely anything”. “Everything is so expensive”. “We can’t afford anything these days”. Living in a massive house, surrounded by water, having an expensive motorboat, a sailing boat and a row boat next to their house, owning a caravan and SUV to pull it, going on holiday at least 7 times a year. “Oooh we’re being screwed by the next generation, we are suffering so much!” yeah, right. “We don’t want to drive all the way to you, fuel is so expensive. Can you come to us? Oh by the way, we just bought new solar panels and a heat pump. And we completely redid the entire garden, do you like it?”.
They are second degree war victims. Their parents were in the resistance, some of their grandparents went to concentration camps. They always told me there is nothing wrong with being gay, and Jewish people should never be discriminated.
Now they complain about all Muslim people, wanting them to be deported out of the country. They also say ‘transgender’ is bullshit. They voted far right. They are the biggest hypocrites out there. “You can’t call me racist because I think what I say isn’t racist, so no one else may see it as racist”. Yeah mom, that’s not how racism works.
We had a Democratic nomination process and the voters have spoken clearly and decisively. I received over 14 million votes, 87% of the votes cast across the entire nominating process. I have nearly 3,900 delegates, making me the presumptive nominee of our party by a wide margin. This was a process open to anyone who wanted to run. Only three people chose to challenge me. One fared no badly that he left the primaries to run as an independent. Another attacked me for being too old and was soundly defeated. The voters of the Democratic Party have voted. They have chosen me to be the nominee of the party.
Do we now just say this process didn't matter? That the voters don't have a say? I decline to do that. I feel a deep obligation to the faith and the trust the voters of the Democratic Party have placed in me to run this year. It was their decision to make. Not the press, not the pundits, not the big donors, not any selected group of individuals, no matter how well intentioned. The voters — and the voters alone — decide the nominee of the Democratic Party. How can we stand for democracy in our nation if we ignore it in our own party? I cannot do that. I will not do that.
Fwiw, I lost about 4 kg of my average weight (That was about 7% of my body weight) when I stopped smoking. A couple of years down the road I also quit drinking which also decreased my average weight by another 4 kg.
(With average weight I take into consideration that I have natural, not dieting related fluctuations of about +/- 1 to 2 kg. The fluctuations are still there but the mean they deviate from is vastly different.)
Maybe I should add that I am still eating about five pounds of sugar a day and I haven’t done sports since 2012, so don’t assume that quitting smoking meant a healthier lifestyle (sadly).
Well I’m a heavy weed smoker, so maybe there’s a difference. Also I already notice the withdrawal effect in the form of more appetite/eating a lot more when I don’t smoke for a couple of days. Given I also have really bad eating habits … I usually eat once a day but when I don’t smoke I will need breakfast and lunch too.
