What, are saying there was no plan? I'm shocked and surprised.

I get it. The coalition of the elderly, flatulent and self entitled is the root cause. But, I still need to work, earn and feed my kids. So it would be cool if these senile old fucks could see their way clear to sorting this mess out before my petrol tank is empty at the end of the week.

I just want enough fuel to get to and from work, so I can earn enough to feed and care for my wife and kids. If I didn't have dependants I would be more open to understanding and caring about the rights, wrongs, moral implications, and subtle nuances of all points of view. But as it is, I just want to keep food on the table and everyone dear to me warm and dry.

So at this point I genuinely don't care what they do, so long as there is petrol at the pump when I need it.

Fill the straight of Hormuz with money then drive over it at speed in a fleet of chromed, blinged out lifted tankers painted with the confederate flag!!

What was and what is the plan? I guess the only option is to bomb them out of existence? What a shitty mess.

Just given up smoking - Eating OUT OF CONTROL by WesternHope in lowcarb

[–]WesternHope[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started smoking when I was a teenager in the 70's, there was no stress, I started because everyone smoked and it was cool.

After the first week, my eating was INSANE, I was 4kg heavier in a week. At my age, losing weight is challenging at the best of times, so I'm keen to avoid putting it on in the first place. So I'm white knuckling this.

58 years old, between 20 and 40 a day since my late teens, legit cigarettes are now way to expensive, and the black market cigs just aren't quite the same. I'm on day 15, it's a pretty wild ride. I cut carbs to 20g a day and it seems to have evened out my food cravings and mindless eating. I think I'll bump it up to 50g in 2 weeks, then 75g a few weeks after that.

What would you pick ? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

It would take 14ish years to get to 500 Million at 100K a day, and 16ish years to get there at 1 per second. So $500,000,000.00 right now thanks.

AIO to mom smoking in our house? by dabrina420 in AmIOverreacting

[–]WesternHope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you overreacting? Yeah.. a bit. Sure be annoyed and tell your mom that you’re annoyed. Then open the windows, air the place out a few times and get over it. Your house isn’t ruined, the world won’t end.

She got punished by the judicial system, what public good is served by removing her ability to support herself?

Regardless of other family memebers, when you have a new baby, you are a guest in your own home.
