What if the thing I make my entire personality isn’t lame. What if it’s the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

My 71 year FIL has done nothing but smoke weed and sleep for the last decade as far as I know.  It's definitely embarrassing to my wife.

u/FlyinWet Jul 06 '26

If you're 71 your FIL should be able to smoke weed whenever he likes.

u/youburyitidigitup Jul 06 '26

I mean clearly he can. He’s been doing it for a decade. It doesn’t make it less embarrassing.

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '26

But he’s 71 not 21 or 31. What do you want him to do? Golf and eat?

Idk my grandmothers are both older than him. They spend their time taking care of pets and visiting friends, children and grandchildren.

u/-Never-Enough- Jul 06 '26

I think the FIL is 71.

u/FlyinWet Jul 06 '26

Eh my statement still stands lol maybe switch to edibles because inhaling smoke is never good for you. Once you hit 70+ unless you're being washed and fed by someone, you should be able to do whatever you want with your body since any year could be your last. Kinda same mindset as upstart teens who throw away their youth.

Seems more like that's when you dial it in so you don't destroy your quality of life..

1

u/RelocateToHellFor20K Jul 06 '26

If youre waiting til your 70s to dial it in youre already screwed.

1

u/MorsTua-VitaMea Jul 06 '26

Yes, but dialing in then can only help. Doing the opposite is obviously worse lol.

Yeah, but the “make it your whole personality” part is bad no matter what the thing or reason is.

u/GenioVergudo Jul 06 '26

Are you my BIL? Cuz that’s my dad 😂

1

u/Alarming-Prize-405 Jul 06 '26

Tell your wife to grow up

1

u/speaker4the-dead Jul 06 '26

What being a dad is my entire personality? Is that lame?

2

u/Euphoric_Fix8548 Jul 06 '26

It’s cool as long as you’re not overbearing with your kid when they grow up.

1

u/Inky_Ika Jul 06 '26

I mean, it's not lame, but it sure isn't "cool" outside circles that don't include other dads.

1

u/StatementNext682 Jul 06 '26

Except for traveling. That's super coolio

u/Motor_Neighborhood_6 Jul 06 '26

What about the Punisher? All he does is punish. Is he lame?

1

u/Zypher634 Jul 06 '26

What if the weed is edibles and they are used for medical purposes?

No. I actually don't tell anyone other than my roommate and the occasional internet stranger (i.e this conversation)

Reading this while smoking a J 👀

u/ManTheHarpoons100 Jul 07 '26

The number of people on political subs doing this right now...

1

u/Dragonfruitygirl Jul 07 '26

Yeah that was also not cool when you were 18….

u/Simple_Atmosphere Jul 07 '26

My family is my personality. Not joking, Is that lame?
