Today’s generation… 20-35 year olds…. Are total pussies. Weak men. Barely able to sell or speak in a room…

I hire and fire dozens a year.

It’s rare to find one who actually reminds me of a regular person

Young professionals these day, don’t have sex or GF/BF
They don’t drink or go out
They don’t smoke or alter their state


It is a very weird generation


I don’t hire many of them.

Because they are shells of human beings

The cost of a cocktail out is ridiculous. Along with the cost of everything else and useless calories, I've cut back. Maybe 1 a week at home and a beer after cutting the grass in the summer. I'd rather use that money on something else.

Bought some delta 9 drinks for the first time. Gonna have a test run with them. I was working on my truck today so beer was had and is still being had. Maybe tomorrow.



If you not familiar with Delta 9, I'd go easy starting out on the drinks. Make sure you don't get anything over 10 mg THC to start, but 5 would be better. Drink them slow. I drank a 50 mg one night and it knocked me out! I'm not a fan of any of the drinks.

Better to start with gummys (look for 10:10 - 10 mg THC/10 mg CDB), cut it in quarters and take one every 45 minutes to an hour to see how it effects you.

Also, gummys give me a cotton mouth. Keep a glass of ice water nearby at night, whenever you wake up, take a drink and cotton mouth is gone.

The alcohol industry is just another huge parasite.


Everything is a parasite. Technology is a parasite. Weed and cigarettes. Soft drinks. Fast food. Movies. Casinos. Anything that is entertainment will continue to try to lure you back. Some things are parasitic in that they waste your time, a finite resource.

At this point, it’s about the simple pleasures in life. Some people like beer and bourbon, others will piss away their money on the newest set of golf clubs, the latest iPhone, surround sound, etc.

Outside of moderate amounts of red wine alcohol is basically poison

We got some 5mg drinks. Wife has had 2, said she feels a little. We have a tolerance for alcohol of course. I have used anything THC since smoking weed 20 years ago. Wife has anxiety and has tried various gummies to help, a couple have damn near made her spirit leave

Bars shut down thanks to China.

And then Bud Light went all Dylan Mulvaney, so that didn't help.


So no, not drinking nearly as much as I used to 10 yrs ago.

Of course, age has something to do with it. Trying to focus more on being healthy, etc... But just doesn't seem like i have the time to pound a few and feel like crap the next day or 3.

If you go out and have dinner and drink 2 or 3 drinks your bill will be higher than crow pussy. People can stay home, cook and drink for a lot cheaper..

Young people don't hang out and socialize they way we did. We couldn't afford to go out and drink. We would have parties to watch football, movies or play games and buy cases of beer or cheap vodka. Most kids don't even drink beer just Trullis or other sweet drinks.

Some folks will get paranoid/anxious on it, but it doesn't affect me that way. I had a buddy who weirded out on a gummy, that's why I recommend micro dosing to start.

Just never really got into it outside a handful of HS parties. Haven't been drunk in 10+ years and may have a handful of beers a year total.

I used to drink every day. Up to over a case a day at one point in my early 20s. I dont drink at all now, not because it isnt enjoyable, the hangovers are not worth it anymore. In late 2000s and early 2010s the cool place to socialize was over some drinks and now it has become on Instagram or whatever. Technology has gotten to where its regressing the human civilization
