Boomers to Xoomers, things you don't see anymore?

I remember hanging out at my great grandpas place and grandfather as well. Eggs bacon and biscuits for an early breakfast that the grandmas were proud to make. They did coal mine work and when they retired they still walked up the hills to the fishing ponds hidden in those east Tennessee mountains. They did not know how to sit down for long.

The real root cause…..The US has moved from an economy based on manufacturing to service. People now are sedentary as compared to constantly moving.

I was never a big guy growing up. Tall but slender. I started packing on weight in my mid 30's by 40. i was 208 lbs. And not a good 200. Went to the beach one year and was so uncomfortable with the way i looked, i wore a surf shirt to get in the damn water. 2 years ago, i completely changed my lifestyle. Cut out almost all processed foods, all sugar type drinks... nothing but water, cut out all fried foods, and started a training program that fit my schedule. Got down to 165 and started bulking up the right way. Now at 43, im 190 lbs, and im bigger than i was at 200 because of the muscle I've built. Laziness and everyone looking for the quick fix magic pill is where society is at. Half of my wife's family is on the shot, and i jab at them all the time because i put in the work and stuck with it, and they took the easy way out

You'll get some more jabs in later when the weight comes back.

I am sure you know but for those that don't the weight almost always comes back when you stop taking it. The stuff is trash.

Just another reason why people who take are idiots.

Ozempic and the like are bad bad shit. The rebound weight thing is real… Ozempic effects the brain because it messes with the grellin hormone/signaling and it’s also ****s up the stomach. You won’t absorb nutrients the same way. While the fat cells do shrink significantly on ozempic, there is evidence they actually double… so when the ozempic treatment stops and the weight comes back, they will be even fatter than before

I saw a meme not to long ago that asked something about why men don't pick girls up to kiss anymore or something like that. Someone responded with "you use Lizzo as a role model".

You could probably trace a lot of it back to decreasing testosterone levels. Changing who men are has resulted in a lot of this madness. I find it hard to believe this society would exist in a world where men were allowed to be men and they weren't at dangerously low levels of testosterone production. It literally changes the way men think.

I hear the feminazis are sniveling that dating is a horror show.

Guys are staying single or going overseas to find a traditional value woman. Someone who would have pride in being a stay at home mom.

The femis don't get it. Men are looking for companions not competitors.

Things you don’t see anymore:

Boomers organized sand lot (baseball & football) games by themselves and learned to work thru conflict

Xoomers have everything organized for them so parents can fight among themselves.

These liberal women have no one to blame but themselves… chivalry is dead and they killed it.

Lmao! I don't know what it is Bob, but every time I see that bitch on TV it just pisses me off. I'm like who the hell wants to see/hear that shit?!?!

Damn talentless fat pig. But, society as a whole is like you go girl, you do you.

Back in my day she would be booed off the stage. I understand acceptance and tolerance, but shit has just gotten out of hand.

Solid work ethic.
Everyone wants a living wage no matter what job they do.
They see a wealthy/successful person and are immediately filled with envy and jealously and think it is unfair and that they should get a piece of what those people have.
What ever happened to ambition? Striving to attain the success level that others have or that you want?
It seems to be gone.

Why should there be acceptance and tolerance for knowingly being fat and unhealthy? Let me guess. Her fans will say it is a glandular issue.

The solid work ethic has been slowly fading for years now. I can't tell you have many times I've seen guys on their phone at work when they know things have to get done and then panic when they realize concrete is coming the next lmfao

People are flat out lazy! They won't put their phones down for 45-60 minutes to exercise.

To be fair they have some is the brightest and greediest people in the history of mankind working against them.

The tech industry is spending billions of dollars developing apps and algorithms to keep you hooked. They've invested heavily in neuroscience and psychology to drive addiction and keep you scrolling.

Food industry is the same. Billions spent on refining sugars and flavors to get you hooked and buying. There is more profit in a $8 bag of potato chips then a 50-cent Potato. Why drink water when I can get you to pay $10 for a Frapa Mocha?

So, so sorry a 15 year old can't out smart these ass hats?

I cannot believe the amount of ****ing IDIOTS who think that shit is the answer.

Don't change your diet or lifestyle just take this crap that has a high potential for severe and possibly life altering side effects.

People and the medical field need to wake the **** up and realize the problem is the food and NO the answer isn't more grains.

Being morbidly obese and having Type-2 Diabetes is also surprisingly unhealthy.

One could also make a similar argument for injecting TRT or Tren. From what I've read Ozempic does require a huge life style change as it's basically a chemical bariatric surgery. So over eat some greasy pizza and you in for a night of agonizing stomach cramp and constipation.

I'm sure I'm sounding like a "libtard" but I think conservatives do need to start acknowledging problems and coming up with "conservative" solutions. Telling people "get ****ed it's your fault" just pushes them into the arms of communism.

Semaglutide IS going to break the healthcare industry. Most of this country is obese and millions more are going to want to be on semaglutide. At $1400/M and with more and more insurance refusing to pay, it's insane. Meanwhile, Europeans are paying ~$90 - $200/M retail because of the negotiated rates. Novo Nordisk is just like "**** it, charge the Americans more lolzzzz".

Worse than fat chicks at the concert is how every single person there is watching it through their cellular telephone so they can post it online and watch it in 1080p. I really don't know what is wrong with people and their phones.
I actually have no idea what people are even doing when they are face-down in the telephone.

Tards got the iPad out all night.

I'll bust out the phone for a few selfies and group photos and maybe one or two 15-20 second videos. Everyone should realize there are going to be way better live videos on YouTube.

I think most people know exactly what you're saying already regarding tech. It's been widely known for some time now.

What I don't think most understand about processed foods is when you stop eating that shit and go back to it even for a short time it physically hurts.

During my vacation I pretty much ditched my carnivore diet and the pain not only after I ate but also in the morning was horrible. My wife felt the same way.
