Snooty vaping hipsters.

[Tranquility Base]

When I was young, I couldn't stand being around old people. Now that I'm old, I can't stand to be around the young. If that ain't normal I don't know what is. Just can't keep up with these young hipster conversations on the internet anymore, though. They all seem to go like this:

Poster1: So okay I like this. But I hate that.
Poster2: cool story bro
Poster1: umadbro?
Poster2: haters be hatin

Maybe the NSA can figure out 98% of the data stream these days but I sure as hell can't. Yet I do sometimes wish I was young again.

I'm with you; I don't understand half the slang I hear anymore. But I'd only want my BODY to be young again; I had to work very hard to shed my youthful ignorance, and no way do I want to give up my hard-earned wisdom!

I will also never give up my understanding of the conjugation of the verb "be". Guess that's just literate of me.

As an 18 year old dripper, I feel inclined to defend myself.
Most of my friends that vape do use drippers and quite frankly it's because it looks cool as ..... My generation is all about the cloud chasing. That's why I build parallel coild all the time and why I bought a Darkhorse. The clouds, man. The clouds.
Mow I also did it so that I would not become entirely addicted to cigs like my parents, keep in mind I started regularly smoking cigs once I got into high school.
As one of these teen drippers I must also incline that I do have to pay for things. I make a car payment of over $100 per paycheck every week to my parents. buy all of my own vaping materials. So don't worry, our mommies and daddies aren't letting us just spend their money willy nilly.
Sure some people can be douches about it, but generalizing us all is just silly.

It's one thing to drip as a choice and to cloud chase. I applaud you for making the choice to quit early and for buying your own gear. However, if you begin looking down your nose at those that screw a clearo on an eGo and puff tiny, thin streams of vapor for the same reason as you (keeping off of cigs), then you become just as guilty as those you're berating.

P.S. I had to ride a bicycle (that I bought with money saved from collecting cans and bottles) 6 miles to town to work until I saved up enough on my own for a car. My parents never bought me a car even on terms... so, yes, you're still somewhat on the dole

I'm 35, but I think I'm still young in mind. The slang youngsters use today is like code to me.

 

[Shawn Hoefer]

Ahhhhh... Nice to see that this thread devolved in the predictable and natural way. Bunch of old people whining about the young kids, forgetting that the generations before them whined about them in the very same way. And so the circle continues. (coming from an almost old person.)

Yes, I too, walked 5 miles to school, uphill both ways, through 7-foot drifts of snow and swimming the raging river. I, too, am now old...

ROFL... when I read his post about the $100 car payment I was thinking WHERE DO I SIGN UP?!?!?!? Try $329!!

My parents never bought me a car either, though they let me drive theirs until I saved enough to buy my own. Then, because I did have a very limited budget and they wanted me to be safe, they paid for new tires and a brake job. So, good parents: they made me earn a car, but made sure it was a safe car for me.

I had to buy my car off my dad, 86 Buick century, only leaked a quart of oil a day, ah young and dumb.

Yes, it will. However, have you looked into stem cell therapy?
No idea how far gone your hip is..but it's worth checking out.
My mom had one of those and where she used to be a model she
now hobbles around 'cause they left one leg way shorter than the other
when she had her hip replacement.

My old lady was told recently she needs both knees replaced.
The bionic woman..Her brother. a big shot doctor suggested stem cells instead.
While all these bionic replacements are fairly good now,
---- happens. Whereas with stem cells and mass doses of chicken/shark cartilage,
glucosamine, chondroitin, msm your bod rebuilds it self. Check it out.

Thanks Hazy, I'm definitely looking at all options. Open mind and positive attitude!

Put a hundred down and buy a car

I had to Google it, but if I was a fortune teller(see what I did there) I would of just new. That one is before me and not my style.

Andria, I realize we're getting old (er) but the guy said $100 out of his weekly check.
That works out to $400/mo for his ride. If you're making $329 weekly car payments not only did you lose it while watching the moon shot
but you can afford a new box and must be driving *some* really far out vehicle.

Respects be down with ya..

Do You Know The Way to San Jose - written for singer Dionne Warwick by Burt Bacharach (music) and Hal David (lyrics).
from the second verse:
L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week maybe two,
They'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years
How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas

I didn't know that was a Neil Diamond song! I always hear Dionne Warwick in my head when I think of that song!

I guess she "owned" it, the way Patsy Cline owned "Crazy" (a Willie Nelson song) or Hendrix owned "all along the watchtower" (a dylan song), or the Byrds owned Mr Tambourine Man (another Dylan).

Sorry, for some reason my data base said Neil did it.

Cool. I was really young when that song was out, but it's etched in my memory forever; there was a car dealership in Atlanta who co-opted the melody for their radio jingle: "do you know the way to City Dodge, 2650 N Decatur Rd, the place to go"

At least I named that tune..Wonder if I get a prize...I need new batteries! 18650's would work wonderfully...

Isn't that the way of life.. Chevy vs Ford, Fender vs Gibson, Coffee, wine, beer, tobacco. Users vs hobbiest vs enthusiest vs conisuer vs status seeking vs vs vs vs.

If people looking down to you is a problem... Get higher heels, for your shoes.

So I have been seeing hipster here and hipster there and really have no clue what a hipster was. This morning I wake shower/shave and go downstairs for my morning toast and coffee. My high school daughter apparently has a monthly magazine from her high school laying on the table. I sit down with my jo and toast with strawberry and rhubarb jam and start flipping through it. This magazine is made like Vogue and all those others my wife reads, thick glossy pages. I start reading about some girls that overcame rape... Not sure how that 6 page spread was appropriate for high school, but I got over it. Then there was article on my neighbor who spent a month in Kenya helping build homes, schools and churches.

Then I come to the next one.. "Mister Hipster" is was titled. I laughed a little. 4 page spread on tips on how to be a hipster. 8 full color steps on how to comb your hair to be a "mister hipster". Now I know, according to my high school daughters magazine, on how to become a hipster.

Here I thought a hipster was the poem talking weirdos of the old dive jazz bars I used to go to when I was in college. The kind you would this giant door and plums of cigarette and cigar smoke would come rolling out and engulf you. Now I know a hipster is just another term for girly man.

Or to beat them down to your level, so you can then smack 'em a good one...
