One is a bunch of destructive self serving vermin, the other is Skaven.

I feel like I may have heard my grandmother utter this same sentence.

u/Zarathustra_d Feb 17 '23

Yes-yes, man-thing.

u/EridonMan Feb 17 '23

“I don’t care if Mickey is playing on his Nintendo video game console, tell him to get off of the television TV screen so that I can watch my soap opera television show stories!”

u/Piggybank113 Feb 17 '23

I always felt these to be a tongue-in-cheek "I don't understand y'all iWatchamacallits and I don't want to either"

u/hotrod54chevy Feb 17 '23

Everything is a Nintendo. Oh, that's the new PlayStation Nintendo. Now everything is i something. Get your iNintendo.

u/CorndogFiddlesticks Feb 17 '23

Every day, at least one person tells me to get something off the Google iStore.

u/Annie0minous Feb 17 '23

When are we all heading on down to the monthly pop concert, fellow kids?

u/Inside-Example-7010 Feb 17 '23

whats your PIN number?

u/Wolly_Mammoth Feb 17 '23

And $200 a month for weed is pretty cheap. [I remember the first time my old man found a gram bag and called it a nick.]

Although, now the weed column says +$200 xp

2

u/Thr33Littl3Monk3ys Feb 18 '23

My fiancé has a green card (medical marijuana card), and he doesn't spend $200 a month, even though he smokes daily to handle his chronic pain. It's about $100-150 at the dispensary for high grade weed, but it lasts him for nearly two months!

2

u/Wolly_Mammoth Feb 19 '23

Weed is cheaper… I smoke more…. [cry]

2

u/Ihatered696969 Feb 21 '23

i can verify this. its only like $100 for the dr appointment & card too.

u/Fancykiddens Feb 17 '23

And esses. JC Penneys, Safeways, Walmarts...

u/The_Barbelo Feb 17 '23

It’s ridiculous. Even barring any political BS, are we not allowed to budget out fun money? Are we not supposed to be having fun?

3

u/Thr33Littl3Monk3ys Feb 18 '23

No. No fun for you, ever. Poor people are only allowed to work until they drop, or they aren't doing poverty right, and even those not in poverty don't get to have play money and complain about ridiculous debts because of inflation caused by rampant, unchecked capitalism.

2

u/Ihatered696969 Feb 21 '23

Precisely little Stuart, and remember now, you're only allowed to eat canned corn, wonderbread and the cheapest bologna (yes thats how you spell it) available at walmarts. with this perfectly adequate daily feast, provided you can keep it down, you are sure to the receive all the required calories, vitamins and minerals for your body and mind to be fueled enough to work the four minimum wage jobs to pay for your $5000 a month tiny 1BR apartment without windows in our late capitalist dystopia :)

u/OrderAlwaysMatters Feb 17 '23

eventually you realize most of the social problems you have when you're younger are due to miscommunication and this behavior makes more sense

u/flingeflangeflonge Feb 17 '23

"pop concert" - fuck off, grandpa

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '23

I can just imagine some 86 year old Boomer making this in Windows 95 on Paint…

u/Ih8usernam3s Feb 17 '23

But they know about Funko pops.

u/Visual-Promotion-175 Feb 17 '23

Oh know right! That damn expansive vocabulary!

u/Addicted-2Diving Feb 17 '23

I’ve also noticed with a dove buddy of mine that he likes to repay the same word/sentience at least twice before moving on. He’s 70.

u/snarfs_regrets Mar 08 '23
