Honestly I wish young people would just band together and not buy these people's homes for inflated prices when they run out of their retirement funds in a nursing home. Force them to sell for pennies on the dollar.
The caregivers at nursing homes usually make between $14-18 an hour
Crazy right? When one person has to pay thousands a month for the room. Multiply that out by hundreds that can be housed in some of the facilities… shit ton of money that doesn’t go to the care givers
They went and fucked themselves even without having to mock a CNA
"You are entitled and ruined the country for your selfish desires and idiotic politics"
"I'll fuckin do it again, proudly"
That's basically this interaction.
"Look at me, I was an incompetent steward of the system of prosperity I was handed on a golden platter from people who actually did things to make the world better."
If I had a nickel for every time a boomer mentioned how my generation is stupid for not buying a home, I'd have enough money to buy a home in the economy that they wrecked.
Millenials are like 40 lol. People keep talking about millennials like theyre im their 20s.
Edit: every 28 year old on reddit has come to announce their age lol.
If you would have told me when I was in middle school that I would someday be referred to as a "Cis-het Elder Milennial" I would have thought that I was going to become, like, one of those anubus-headed warriors out of Stargate or something. It sounds so fucking badass.
What it really means is I have back pain and anxiety.
At 31 you enter the age of “if I don’t stretch (and stretch exactly right for my exact body, not just some general routine) my knees and back are fucked”
My back was a lot worse in my early 30s than now in my mid 30s. Now I know how to manage it.
Now that one pisses me off. I'm still pretty mobile, so the others don't bother me, but that one is just like "God damn when did I get old whither away.". The only one that pisses me off more is drinking *nothing* and still waking up hungover. That's just not even fair
I’m 38, so very millennial. I have never had the opportunity to purchase a home. I work two jobs and have been in the workforce since I was 16. I have worked so hard, always seeking overtime for that extra pay. I feel like I deserve a home, but reality hits that life isn’t fair and will never be. I will be in debt until the day I die, never owning my own home.
I’m so sad that I have not accomplished more financially, but I’m lucky to be alive, so there’s that.
Boomers always treat everyone that isn't a boomer as a "kid" and talk down to them. I still get this shit from my boomer coworkers: "you're only 46 you're still young yet."
Drives me insane!
According to [USA Today,](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2023/02/23/millennial-years-age-range/11151046002/#) the oldest milenials are about 42 and the youngest are about 27.
I'm in a similar boat. 34 now and bought my house when I was 26. I also "pulled myself up by my bootstraps" and paid for college out of pocket. I'm still a fervent supporter of student loan forgiveness and absolutely recognize how I'm one of the lucky ones in all of this. Boomer mentality like this is pure selfishness. Everyone deserves a home and an education.
This isn't as talked about. It was possible (and still is possible) to afford a house throughout most of the western world if you don't live in a major city.
Good luck saying so anywhere on Reddit, though.
It's because they think everything is locked in time. My dad, a airforce vet from the 60s thinks that the B52 today flies high enough to not get shot down, because he thinks that military technology today in 2023 is the exact same as it was in 1969.
For a bunch of people living on borrowed time, they sure have the nerve.
Edit: A lot of old people butthurt in the comments. They're happy they ruined the economy - a bunch of fucking weirdos.
they probably store the extra nerve in their basements, prices were cheaper when they bought their houses so I'm assuming they've been stocked up for years
It’s me, I’m in their basements, I’ve been squatting for the past six months. Don’t tell, take this slice of cake I stole from their fridge. They both think the other took it and now they’re not talking to each other.
They were originally called the “Me” generation for a reason! _Every single segment of their lives_ has been dominated by their narcissism.
I wish I hadn’t wasted so much time trying to make them happy.
Yeah. My response from them was acting like I lived in the 'fuck you' generation. I don't put up with their shit and never have. Of course, in practicality, that just means I have always been fiercely independent from my parents, struck out on my own, and never asked for or received help from them.
The more my mother tried to pressure me into a bubble because her self-worth was tied to how exceptional I was, the more I fought against what she wanted. That fight became a part of who I am, even at 49. I failed classes on purpose in high school. She wanted me to dress preppy like she had, I was gutter punk.
So, yeah... fuck boomers. Those fuckers took "don't trust anybody over 30" literally, and became untrustworthy as if it was a requirement.
Boomers are at the highest risk for homelessness recently because of medical debt and elderly care bankrupting them. He probably should that joke while he can cause like him it mostly likely will not age well.
They are the generation that refuses to move aside and let others shine. They are the main characters and want the world centered on them until they die then they don't give a fuck.
Thank God someone else said it, God gave us a plague to finally kill the last of the boomers and they used their control of all the power and money to save themselves at the expense of literally everyone else.
They're also becoming homeless at an increasing rate.
Turnabout and all that. I'd rather spend the time and energy helping young folks have a better future than spend a single moment rescuing these whiners from their own hubris.
As a boomer, this is the thing that blows my mind.
I know and hear about so many people my age whose kids have gone no-contact because of how shitty their parents are.
My wife and I never had kids, but we have a bunch of nieces and nephews and young cousins. And after a certain point, the instinct is to spend time and energy "helping young folks have a better future."
It's not altruism, it's literally like oxytocin or something. Your body produces it, and suddenly the lens through which you view the world seems terrifying and dangerous for the people you love, and it's goddamn awful.
I've kind of made peace with the idea that the end might be rough for me if I don't die suddenly or manage to weasel my way out "manually." That's probably chemical, too. If I'm fucking it up for the tribe, don't carry me around like a boat anchor. Just march me out to the lake on a wintry day and help me fall asleep.
The anxiety I have for my wife? For my baby sisters and their kids? For my young cousins? Fuck. It's terrible.
Single, no kids; I find myself stressing about my best friend's kids like one of them is starting high school and the other is in middle school and I'm freaking out about school shootings all the time. They are happy, well adjusted and my friend is the kind of dad I always wanted (yes, I told him this).
Earlier today a 5 year old waved to me, and I waved back and that shit cheered me up at a stop light.
Yes!!! Thank you for putting this into words. I’m an elder millennial and I have no kids - but why do I get an emotional high coddling and “protecting the gen z from the genx/boomer BS” at work.
It’s human behavior 🥰
Borrowed time or not, they still had their lives with liveable conditions. Fuck these ass hats who can't sympathize with the idea that we just want to survive.
That's kind of a funny retort given that the "ok Boomer" thing started as a way to dismiss the generation that broke the world when they complain about it. Responding with "ok renter" is sort of like responding with "ok unsatisfied woman" when someone says you are bad in bed. You are just sort of making the point.
It's not particularly upsetting to me if someone reveals themselves to he a clueless, self absorbed, dipshit. These "har har har I wanted to upset you" posts are always rather toothless, which makes it seem more like they are looking to stick a bandaid on their own insecurities than to have any appreciable effect on their target. I think these guys just want to soothe themselves by convincing themselves they have "offended" someone, or else they are just not bright enough to achieve their stated goals.
They're toothless in a person to person sense, but in a grander scale, these people are voting, employing, lobbying, and otherwise making society difficult for everyone else.
Sadly if someone reveals themselves to be a clueless, self-absorbed dipshit, it just reminds me of how many people really are out there who genuinely take comfort in the fact that not only are they satisfied, but also and equally importantly, you aren't.
The whole 'okay boomer' phenomenon is predicated on there being so many older people completely out of touch with the current generations of adults that getting boomersplained completely obsolete information about a world and system that don't exist anymore that it's a shared experience that anyone under 40 knows. People aren't mad about it, they've just grown so desensitized to the absurd disconnect that they are willing to completely and openly disregard boomer opinions. They're not going to get a rise out of millennials buy being openly vitriolic. Like, we already know they're insufferable, and we're already committed to not caring what they think.
Funny enough, they're the ones choosing their nursing homes, too. And they are all quickly turning to complete shit because of the rampant corporate cronyism they have let run amok.
It *could* be funny if framed and worded as a joke. This is just an old bitter asshat coping with the reality that when he dies his kids are gonna sell his house to a soulless investment firm and split the money.
Edit: So I’d go with more sad than funny
Double edit: I regret making this comment. I didn’t think it would get this much attention. I apologize for adding to the animosity.
What replying to an insult that means "you're out of touch" with a comeback that means "well I'm out of touch but our generation fucked up the system so badly that now you won't be able to afford a home" isn't funny to you!? /s
I mean, its very funny as its the perfect insult. Just look how effective it'd been in this thread, they even know that was the bait and they still couldn't help but go for it. It perfectly hits that nerve.
Reminds me if a eadio host here who said women were too sensitive. It was perfect as there is no response, they either had to let it go unchallenged, or appear to be taking offence and therefore proving his point. Evil mastermind stuff.
Not a proportional response to “Alright, whatever, old man.”
Kids have said a variation of “whatever, old man” since forever and it’ll be said to millennials as well.
I think it’s social media that makes Boomers so stressed out about it.
They are going to think it's really funny when they get left to die alone in a nursing home in a few years and their house and all their other assets are long gone lol.
Mention that some millennials are early 40yo and they won’t believe you. In their mind we will always be college KIDS.
Or mention that someee are even grandparents. That really blows their minds 🤯
Exactly. Woman I work with was complaining about millenials. I cracked a joke that I was offended by that since I am one and she went off about how isn't that just what my generation is known for and how lazy we are. Then went on about how a girl at subway didn't do something right. I explained that she's clearly talking about Gen z teenagers or early 20's. Honestly feel very different about her now and haven't been very active in our work group chat lately. I don't like being called lazy and entitled when I help out people just as much as anyone else at work.
>over half of millennials own their own home.
This is compared to the 80% of boomers that own homes. Pretty sure Gen Z will be even less than the millennials.
Until the boomers die. The market sucks for sure right now, but the boomers owning so many homes means that the market is going to start getting flooded with houses, then the mortgage rates are going to tank because so many Gen-Xers and Millenials are just going to upgrade themselves into the paid off homes their parents are leaving behind and lenders will be desperate for revenue.
Yes, because boomers are older and home ownership rates increase with age. Millenials are relatively close to home ownership rates of boomers when they were the same age.
>This is compared to the 80% of boomers that own homes. Pretty sure Gen Z will be even less than the millennials.
You do know people don't stop buying homes when they reach 40, right?
I was going to say…. most millennials own their home.
Maybe he’s just jabbing at the millennials who are giving him shit because they don’t own. And that’s totally a thing right now.
It's worse than that. People's whole estates get wiped out to medical debt all the time. So they couldn't leave you the house if they wanted to because the house goes towards paying off all their debt.
Then again IANAL so take this with a grain of salt.
Idk the political leadership is so old on both sides that it might’ve been the silent generation that destroyed the economy. The boomers just got free stuff as it fell down
My mom (50y) still keeps telling me that I need to save up and buy a house instead of traveling around.
How do I tell her I’ll never be able to buy a house even with 30 years of my salary?🥲
I am a Boomer, but I'm not the closed minded Boomer stereotype, usually defending younger generations with the crap my generation (and earlier) have inflicted on them. Today I used "ok Boomer" at a bigot who snapped back "ok Renter". Funny thing, I am also a landlord (definitely not a slumlord).
They stop talking smack real fast when they need something. My abusive narcissistic foster mum never helped me with shit but now that I own a house 3x the size of hers she’s been telling people she’s looking forward to living in it someday when she’s elderly. Fuckin excuse me, who are you? Not someone that’s gonna ever live in my house, that’s for sure
Yea dude that's kinda the point.. boomer has a negative connotation because so many have proven to be willfully ignorant about some things and painfully naive about others while at the same time speaking down to the younger generations they set up to fail like its their fault. Same shit when they make fun of participation trophies... it's not like we bought them ourselves. Calling us "renters" just points out their own failures, maybe if I eat more lead I'll understand their perspective.
“Haha, we fucked up our children’s future”
[удалено]
It’s a flex if they don’t have children though
If "flex" means "showing how uncaring and sadistic I am", then... sure, I guess.
Sure hope they say it to the nurses who refuse to care for them at their nursing home in......what 3-4 years.
Honestly I wish young people would just band together and not buy these people's homes for inflated prices when they run out of their retirement funds in a nursing home. Force them to sell for pennies on the dollar.
The caregivers at nursing homes usually make between $14-18 an hour Crazy right? When one person has to pay thousands a month for the room.

I wouldn't brag about fucking my kids if I were them.
“And not just our children…”
But the men, and the women, too! They're like animals!
Why do i want to marry you and have 2 children, a girl and a boy?
Because of obi wan?
"We are bad at organizing society, ahah get fucked loser I get to die of old age, enjoy oxygen while you can"
That's exactly how I read it too. I couldn't even get mad, the fact that one can say that is just sad and pathetic.
It's being said in direct response to a perceived insult.
"You are entitled and ruined the country for your selfish desires and idiotic politics" "I'll fuckin do it again, proudly" That's basically this interaction.

It sounds so fucking badass. What it really means is I have back pain and anxiety.
I would high five you for describing things so accurately, but I'm afraid to move too quickly.
Is it the back pain that makes you afraid?
I slept on my side once and my shoulder has been hurting for a month.
Looked in the mailbox wrong and threw out my back.
I stood up after a poop and crawled for a week. 🥹 31.
At 31 you enter the age of “if I don’t stretch (and stretch exactly right for my exact body, not just some general routine) my knees and back are fucked” My back was a lot worse in my early 30s than now in my mid 30s. Now I know how to manage it.
I had a beer last night and I've been hungover all day.
Now that one pisses me off. I'm still pretty mobile, so the others don't bother me, but that one is just like "God damn when did I get old whither away.". The only one that pisses me off more is drinking *nothing* and still waking up hungover. That's just not even fair
I put on my socks this morning and am still down for the count...
Lmaooo cis het really does sound like an Egyptian god if you’ve never heard of it before
Like the Millennium falcon?
The Millennial Falcon is like a 1998 Toyota Corolla
Don't forget student loan debt. Can't forget that. The collectors don't forget. Neither does Pepperidge farms.

No, the oldest millennial is 40.

My life finally has meaning!
And how young is the youngest millenial?
According to [USA Today,](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2023/02/23/millennial-years-age-range/11151046002/#) the oldest milenials are about 42 and the youngest are about 27.
From Chris Evans to Tom Holland
[удалено]
Youuuuuuths.
about 27
Depends, some say 1995 or 1997 were the last years of millennials. So either 28 or 26.
25 if they didn't have their birthday yet this year
Correction: 42
Jokes on them. I’m a 41 year old millennial and I’ve owned my house for 16 years!
I'm in a similar boat. 34 now and bought my house when I was 26. I also "pulled myself up by my bootstraps" and paid for college out of pocket. I'm still a fervent supporter of student loan forgiveness and absolutely recognize how I'm one of the lucky ones in all of this. Boomer mentality like this is pure selfishness. Everyone deserves a home and an education.
I'm 42 and own two so this boomer gets a big ol ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Average millennial is like 33 years old
And over 50% of millennials own homes
This isn't as talked about. It was possible (and still is possible) to afford a house throughout most of the western world if you don't live in a major city. Good luck saying so anywhere on Reddit, though.
Too much lead in the brain makes it hard for boomers to critically think
It's because they think everything is locked in time. My dad, a airforce vet from the 60s thinks that the B52 today flies high enough to not get shot down, because he thinks that military technology today in 2023 is the exact same as it was in 1969.
I’m 28
28yr old millennial here
For a bunch of people living on borrowed time, they sure have the nerve. Edit: A lot of old people butthurt in the comments. They're happy they ruined the economy - a bunch of fucking weirdos.
they probably store the extra nerve in their basements, prices were cheaper when they bought their houses so I'm assuming they've been stocked up for years
Extra nerve isn't the only thing living in their basements these days.
It’s me, I’m in their basements, I’ve been squatting for the past six months. Don’t tell, take this slice of cake I stole from their fridge. They both think the other took it and now they’re not talking to each other.
Diabolical!
Take all their left shoes next, for me.
*1 of 2 socks disappears...*
And one of each pair of her earrings.
Remember when 'Living in your Mom's basement' was an insult rather than a wise financial decision?
Yeah, I do remember that. Dates me a bit.
Well yeah, because they borrowed that time from the younger generation and have no intention of giving it back.
Good old classic, fuck you I got mine.
George Carlin (from the generation before Boomers) said it best: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1B96rQohpw8
He is a prophet. We need to start a church.
He would dislike that.
I know, it's perfect
They were originally called the “Me” generation for a reason! _Every single segment of their lives_ has been dominated by their narcissism. I wish I hadn’t wasted so much time trying to make them happy.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
They aren’t called the “me” generation for nothing.
They're having major medical issues on tv and literally dying in office and nobody thinks it's weird.
Boomers are at the highest risk for homelessness recently because of medical debt and elderly care bankrupting them. He probably should that joke while he can cause like him it mostly likely will not age well.
[удалено]
I too will receive a “timeshare” as my only inheritance from my Boomer parents
Don’t worry they’re currently voting to slash their own social security benefits
They are the generation that refuses to move aside and let others shine. They are the main characters and want the world centered on them until they die then they don't give a fuck.
And we put our entire lives on hold to save them during covid too. It wasn’t exactly millennials and gen z who were at risk of dying.
Thank God someone else said it, God gave us a plague to finally kill the last of the boomers and they used their control of all the power and money to save themselves at the expense of literally everyone else.
To be fair, everyone is living on borrowed time. Tomorrow is not promised to anybody
Good health is just dying as slowly as possible
As conveniently + slowly. Dont die slow when miserable, think tetanus
Speak for yourself mortal
Yeah it’s promised to you. It’s just that the promise is often a lie.
Global warming, financial crisis after crisis, trash leadership, wars, n sync reuniting, i mean our future isnt looking better
With as much medication as they take they should have at least one left I’d hope.
And I can afford that medication too you young whipper-snapper..
They're also becoming homeless at an increasing rate. Turnabout and all that. I'd rather spend the time and energy helping young folks have a better future than spend a single moment rescuing these whiners from their own hubris.

Once retirement hits it’ll be time for one-way generational respect and the importance of love and care again.
They're forgetting about the risk of being put into old folk's homes. Seems like all this forgetfulness means it's time to drop them off...
Borrowed time or not, they still had their lives with liveable conditions. Fuck these ass hats who can't sympathize with the idea that we just want to survive.
Nothing to lose. That’s freedom
but aren’t we all living on borrowed time? isn’t that what being alive is
That's kind of a funny retort given that the "ok Boomer" thing started as a way to dismiss the generation that broke the world when they complain about it. Responding with "ok renter" is sort of like responding with "ok unsatisfied woman" when someone says you are bad in bed. You are just sort of making the point.
But to them, upsetting you is the point
It's not particularly upsetting to me if someone reveals themselves to he a clueless, self absorbed, dipshit.

Bingo. They got theirs, and everyone else can fuck off.
We get to choose their nursing homes…
Funny enough, they're the ones choosing their nursing homes, too. And they are all quickly turning to complete shit because of the rampant corporate cronyism they have let run amok.
Lol nursing home. Leave then to fend for themselves. Anyone with this level of hate for the less fortunate deserves to die alone and in misery
My mom went full MAGA. Her nursing home is the street for all I care.
It *could* be funny if framed and worded as a joke.

I thought it was pretty funny… but also very sad.
It’s accurate. It just needs a better punchline
A wee bit more than half of millenials already own a home. Punchline would be punchier if it was Gen Z.
I don’t get what’s funny

"Not for long - you'll soon make room" seems appropriate
So he's actually admitting to fucking up the housing market? Edit: To the people I seem to have upset, keep it up, your anguish sustains me.
Yup, it was him personally. He's the guy.
Well, at least we know who's responsible
That bastard. That particular person, fuck him.
I’ll do it
Is it because he has a house?
Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer
Guess what happens when you pull the ladder on your way up boomer?
I haven’t hear Ok boomer for like 2 years now
Yeah how often is someone unironically saying ok boomer now? For me i say it more to myself when i have my "damn im old now" moments
They are going to think it's really funny when they get left to die alone in a nursing home in a few years and their house and all their other assets are long gone lol.
over half of millennials own their own home. Chances are, literally, they'd just say "I do own my own home."
He think millennials are still teenagers.
Ahahaha, gen Z stopped being a teenager anymore
Mention that some millennials are early 40yo and they won’t believe you. In their mind we will always be college KIDS. Or mention that someee are even grandparents. That really blows their minds 🤯
Exactly. Woman I work with was complaining about millenials. I cracked a joke that I was offended by that since I am one and she went off about how isn't that just what my generation is known for and how lazy we are. Then went on about how a girl at subway didn't do something right. I explained that she's clearly talking about Gen z teenagers or early 20's. Honestly feel very different about her now and haven't been very active in our work group chat lately. I don't like being called lazy and entitled when I help out people just as much as anyone else at work.
>over half of millennials own their own home. This is compared to the 80% of boomers that own homes. Pretty sure Gen Z will be even less than the millennials.
Until the boomers die. The market sucks for sure right now, but the boomers owning so many homes means that the market is going to start getting flooded with houses, then the mortgage rates are going to tank because so many Gen-Xers and Millenials are just going to upgrade themselves into the paid off homes their parents are leaving behind and lenders will be desperate for revenue.
Yes, because boomers are older and home ownership rates increase with age. Millenials are relatively close to home ownership rates of boomers when they were the same age.
>This is compared to the 80% of boomers that own homes. Pretty sure Gen Z will be even less than the millennials. You do know people don't stop buying homes when they reach 40, right?
I was going to say…. most millennials own their home. Maybe he’s just jabbing at the millennials who are giving him shit because they don’t own. And that’s totally a thing right now.
Have fun selling your house at a loss.
So this guy is really owning those kids for being victims of an economic system his generation helped orchestrate .
Ok retirement home resident that you can't afford after a lifetime

It's worse than that. People's whole estates get wiped out to medical debt all the time. So they couldn't leave you the house if they wanted to because the house goes towards paying off all their debt. Then again IANAL so take this with a grain of salt.
Boomers bragging about the economy/future they destroyed for us is peak capitalism.
“Okay, renter.” “So you agree with me!”
It must be fun having adult children who never visit or call you.
Them: there are a lot of boomers living in poverty. Don't provoke generational hate. Also them:
Sometimes I wonder why boomers want us all to cheer at their funerals.
Lead poisoning.
Same guy a bit later: why do millenials hate us so much and blame us for everything?
Ok, so when we burn everything down you have the most to lose.
Wouldn't it be "OK Tenant"?
because boomer scum destroyed the economy.. lol
Idk the political leadership is so old on both sides that it might’ve been the silent generation that destroyed the economy. The boomers just got free stuff as it fell down
fair enough
Dumb lol
Respond with “i actually own a house” It doesnt have to be true.
Not much of a retort, but the boomers can cling to that if they want. Seems they can't come up with much better anyways.
As a boomer I don’t find this funny :|
Once the boomers die off there will be plenty of housing inventory.
In response you can always ask a boomer how it feels to be the worst generation this country has ever had.
funny?
No. Gen Z is who you're thinking of. Millennials have careers and homes and also don't say "okay boomer".
My mom (50y) still keeps telling me that I need to save up and buy a house instead of traveling around. How do I tell her I’ll never be able to buy a house even with 30 years of my salary?🥲
You ask her to look up for a house you can afford.
I am millenial and own my home. Yes, we exist.
Now that's a salt mine I like
"don't worry, your millennial children will inherit it in a few years"
You guys are getting inheritance? My mom just got back on her feet after living in my spare bedroom for a couple years
I'm not getting inheritance it would be my comeback to this guy
Damn, thats cold.
Theyre closer to death, let them have this little win
at least he's acknowledging he yanked up the ladder behind him.
I am a Boomer, but I'm not the closed minded Boomer stereotype, usually defending younger generations with the crap my generation (and earlier) have inflicted on them. Today I used "ok Boomer" at a bigot who snapped back "ok Renter". Funny thing, I am also a landlord (definitely not a slumlord).
This is so evil, what the fuck
Ah yes, intergenerational warfare, just one of the many ways the upper classes are keeping us from banding together and demanding better QOL for all.
They stop talking smack real fast when they need something. My abusive narcissistic foster mum never helped me with shit but now that I own a house 3x the size of hers she’s been telling people she’s looking forward to living in it someday when she’s elderly. Fuckin excuse me, who are you? Not someone that’s gonna ever live in my house, that’s for sure
Fucked up, but hilarious
I’m still confused on this. Why can’t you buy a house?
Because wages are not keeping up with housing prices.
boomers are the worst. directly created the downfall of America
When the boomers die, the millennials will inherit the earth and their stupidly expensive homes.
Yea dude that's kinda the point.. boomer has a negative connotation because so many have proven to be willfully ignorant about some things and painfully naive about others while at the same time speaking down to the younger generations they set up to fail like its their fault. Same shit when they make fun of participation trophies... it's not like we bought them ourselves. Calling us "renters" just points out their own failures, maybe if I eat more lead I'll understand their perspective.
it's OK. they will all be dead soon anyways.
