I mostly don’t have a setup. I have a pair of powerblock dumbells stage 1, and a red circle thing you stand on, and pull resistance bands. I also have a yoga mat I haven’t figured out what to do with yet.

Oh, I guess you could also count my WiiU which has WiiU Fitness, and a little step counter attatchment. I should start using that. But thats it.

I don’t care how advertisers feel. I’ve been telling them for decades that their ads have zero effect on me. That it just pisses me off.

When I go into a grocery store, I have a list. If it’s not on that list, I’m not buying it. The list was prepared weeks ago, and added as I run out of things. Doesn’t matter if you show 100 ads. I’m not paying attention. Even though you paid money to show the ad, I still didn’t see it. What difference does it make if I’m alive? Either way I didn’t see the…uh…what were you selling again? It was a commercial for Jesus? See, this just shows how little I pay atttention to ads. I saw the superbowl, and I’m fairly sure one of the commercials was for Jesus. I’m unclear how one would buy Jesus, but that was the ad.

Tell ya what advertiser industry. I’m going to do your job for you. I’m going to make sure every single person pays attention to every ad you ever put out. Are you ready for this? Here we go.

The screen fades in from black to a closeup of some tittys. They’re bouncing around, and women are moaning. Then they start moaning “OOOOOHHHH, YEEEAAAAHHHH BUY OUR PRODUCT, BUY THE PRODUCT! OOOOHHHHH!”

Remember, tittys are still bouncing. You put the product in the center of the screen.

You just made a billion dollars!

Found the appropriate response.

Maybe I’m not seeing it, but does this thing fold up?

I read your usernwme as “Sure Why Not Lake Erie Monsters”. Which in my mind is a direct reference to the 2016 Calder Cup which the Monsters won. And your name, could then be thought of as being a direct protest to the 2017 name change to the Cleveland Monsters.

A protest I am eagerly on your side with! Bring back the old name!!!

“OH SHIT!!! WE ACTUALLY FOUND A WOMAN WILLING TO RAISE OTHER PEOPLES KIDS FOR PENNIES IN PAY??? YES I’LL TAKE THE CALL!!!”

“Hello, I’m some lady, trying to get ahold of corporate”

“…how did you get this number???”

“I know who you are. I know what you don’t want. If you are looking for an employee I can tell you I don’t need money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter get a juice box now that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you.”

“Good luck!” click

Wait…

looks at username

…were you two coworkers???

Hold on …

Are you saying all software hosted on github is infected with copilot? Or am I misreading the situation?

Step 1, I come over to your house.

Step 2, I eat your pizza

Step 3, We fall in love

Step 4, We get married with pizza in our vows. You promise to love an honor me, and always make pizza.

I’m just going to skip ahead a few…

Step 87, We buy even MORE drugs, and build snowmen!

Step 205, Now we can sell the Mona Lisa for a huge profit, as we pit the American government against the Saudi Arabian government in a bidding war. I figure we’ll each get like 300 billion dollars.

Step 902, Finally, we die in space, as we shoot the orgasm ray at Earth, forcing millions of people to all uncontrollably orgasm, until we face a gas leak which explodes like a bomb.

See, when I was a kid, which was the 80s/90s, I was told adults/old people were always angry at the youth for being disrespectful. And when THEY were young, old people in their youth hated THEM for being disrespectful. And I was told when I got old, I’d understand, and I’d hate the youth for being disrespectful to me.

Except, now I’m 42, and I don’t look down on todays youth. I don’t think the majority are disrespectful. But now I see boomers who have gone from being adults, to being elderly, and they STILL look down on todays youth.

So here’s what I think actually happened. You had the greatest generation, who goes off to war, fights hitler, wins, and restores peace. They come home, horny as hell, and they FUUUUUCK!

Remember THIS picture??? Yeah, thats not his girlfriend. She’s not enjoying that kiss. Thats just some soldier who came back, grabbed the first girl he saw, forcibly kissed her without consent, and someone photographed it. Newspapers ran with it, because everyone thought it was a lovely moment. Everyone thought these two were reconnecting after years apart.

A bit of a tangent there, but it shows how horny these guys were. They just grab a bitch and have their way as crowds cheer. So inevitably this leads to the baby boom.

Now, these kids who fought in the war are having kids of their own, and as the 1950s take root, the greatest generation is trying to raise kids, while dealing with PTSD symptoms at a time when there was no help for that. Men didn’t go to therapy. Men toughed it out, and got into fist fights to let out aggression.

But now, as they’re having war flashbacks, their little 8 year old daughter is being a disrespectful little shit, because the world was traditionally based in an upbringing system where entire communities helped raised kids, with women being the main support system. Wives would come together, and help teach each others kids different lessions for a more balanced upbringing.

But now, post war, the men are back to work, but the women are ALSO still working. Thus creating a short 20 year period where most households had 2 incomes, but the ecconomy was based on 1 income per household. So these boomer kids got spoiled. Anything they wanted, they got, because why not? Car when they turn 18. All the clothes they could want. But if grandpa, who suffered through the great depression of the 1930s tried telling these boomer teenagers how lucky they are, the boomers would scoff, and say how thats not how the world works. Essentially the boomers in their youth got called disrespectful little shits.

Then the boomers grow up, and have their own kids in the 70s and 80s. These boomers who have had everything handed to them, see the technology sector start thriving and exploding in the 70s and especially 80s. They get mad that their kids play video games all day, while they had to play with a ball. So they call their kids disrespectful. And mind you, the concept of community driven parenting was never implemented when they were kids, so they as parents make no attempt to revive it. So now these Gen-X and Millenial kids don’t get parenting from their friends parents. They’re welcome in their home, but your friends boomer mother wouldn’t teach you math. That was YOUR moms job! Not hers!

So Gen-X and Millenials grow up being called disrespectful, mostly just for using technologies that didn’t exist when boomers were kids.

This was also about the time that boomers started getting highly irrational and paranoid about dangers of other people. So even though THEY grew up exploring the neighborhood without parental suppervision, they thought it was 1000x more dangerous these days. In reality, it wasn’t. Every study has shown that since 1900, it gets consistantly less dangerous every year. 2025 and 2026 may skew that curve, but that doesn’t affect the time period we’re talking about.

So now in an era without cell phones or tracking technology, or communal parenting, boomers decided that it was too dangerous to not see their kids at all times. Because only THEY knew what was best. This is where the 1980s trend of “helicopter parenting” originated.

Now flash forward to modern day, and boomers are elderly, and calling the youth disrespectful for playing music and using slang.

So, here’s what I think happened.

The boomers got called disrespectful little shits, because they were being disrespectful little shits to the generation that killed hitler before they were even born.

So they got used to older people calling younger people disrespectful. They’ve been acting on that ever since. Every younger person is disrespectful, because now it’s THEIR chance to say it.

Never once considering the fact that they were the ones being disrespectful as youth, they were the ones being disrespectful as adults, and now, they’re being disrespectful in their elderly years.

It’s why literally 3 different generations say “Ok Boomer” as a way to say “shut the fuck up, you self entitled little twat who knows nothing of the world around them”.

Oh, and I also forgot the part where boomers fucked up the planet for the past 40-50 years, depending on where you want to place the starting mark.

So now the world was fucked before I even had a chance to live. 9/11 happens 2 weeks before I’m an adult. Which wasn’t the boomers fault, but it shows where the world was at just as I became an adult. And now that they’re FINALLY losing grasp over this world, it’s too little too late. The world is now headed for full on fascism.

Yeah, I don’t think todays youth are the problem.

I built a 8x8 box out of cobblestone, with a bed, a door, and like 18 chests crammed in waaaaay too close.

Honestly? This just looks like the goomba I remember. It just looks like if that goomba aged. Thats just elderly goomba.

Always has been. I remember in the 90s being a 13 year old boy, talking on a chat service thats long dead now. It was called “talkcity”.

They were a collection of chatrooms. They had a chatroom for every niche. I hungout in the “teenchat”.

I can remember having people message me, claiming to be 14/F/Cali. I was 13/M/Ohio.

So I didn’t think anything of it at the time. But those chats were EXTREMELY sexual. Knowing what I know now, I was probably talking to a 40 year old dude living in his moms basement.

Even though talkcity is long dead, that behavior of targeted predators is very much still alive.

Yes, but you are the minority.

I dated a girl over the summer, and we were watching youtube videos in bed.

My phone has revanced, and it kills all the ads.

Then she shows me one of her videos.

It was…oh my god. Do you have ANY idea how awful the vanilla youtube experience is?

And thats just how most people watch it. They just watch youtube, with the official app. Ads and all, and are fine with it.

So even if all the fediverse minded people quit youtube in unison, it would still be less than 1% of their viewership.

You realize google owns youtube, right?

I waaaas going to make a joke here, but you said roblox.

So now I gotta be serious.

You need to take roblox away from your kids. It is a danger to them. Pedophiles play that game specifically because it’s easy for 43 year old men to talk to 7 year olds.

And the reason it’s so easy is because the CEO of the company that makes roblox has stated in the past they will NOT take actions to stop the very real pedophile problem on their servers. Essentially roblox is pro-pedo.

You need to take roblox away from your kids.

These people writing these stories are probably ultra rich, and go to fine dining resteraunts. They probably pay $300 a meal for what you or I might pay $11 at the grocery store.

Then they think if THEY paid $300, then surely the non-privilaged must be paying $600. And they’re doing it several times a week! Such splurge!

Meanwhile we could buy these things every day for a month for what they pay for 1 meal. And the quality realistically can’t be all that much different. They probably assume they’re eating a chicken thats twice as good, at half the cost.

But they don’t know who we are! Say that name! Say it loud!!!

LEEEEEEEROOOOOYYYYYY

JEEEEEEEEENNNKKKKIIIIINNNNNSSSS!!!

Least we got chicken…

No lies detected.
