ADDIT'S PROFILE

Lol, I can’t believe what I just witnessed today. This next generation of kids scare the f**k out of me…

I remember back when I was a kid that every once and a while back in elementary school that the whole school, including the teachers, had to go for around a 20 - 30 minute run as part as some sort of an exercise regime. We would usually go around a couple blocks with some water stations set up along the way just in case anybody was thirsty from the run and see how fast that we could make it back in. The idea was to judge how the kids did along with the teachers by giving them some much needed exercise away from the classes. It was great.

Back then, nearly 90% of the kids participating in the run would diligently run most of the way through. Sure, you’d get the odd heavy kid that would have some sort of trouble running all that way, along with a couple of girls who didn’t wanna participate that much because of reasons, but I remember everyone trying to make it back as fast as they could and really worked sort of hard doing so. Yeah, a couple of kids would eventually walk or stop for a little bit along the way, but the teachers would then come by and push those stragglers to go and run just a little bit more until the finish line. It seemed like everybody was in a lot better shape back then and were a lot more motivated.

- But today’s kids!? What a joke. I only saw like, maybe, a couple of kids running while a huge portion of them, nearly 90%, were walking the whole way through. Hell, some of them even went to the corner store up my the street to buy a slurpee or some pop and drink it the way through. And, of course, a lot of them were on their phones texting while talking to their buddies and walking into a bunch of passing adults and seniors along the way, like the walking automatons they are, lol.

I know this shouldn’t bug me that much, but man - what the hell happened!? Most of these kids look like they’re in pretty good shape from looking at the outside of things, but I guess not judging by their lackluster performance today…either that or they didn’t wanna mess up their new designer clothes that mommy and daddy recently bought for them. *groans*

If I was one of the teachers and I saw one of the students drink a slurpee or a pop along the way during a run – I’d ream out the little gremlin. It’s fine if they wanna drink it after the run or when they’re off of school, because you can’t physically stop them from doing so, but it is really borderline pathetic to see something like this. And who the hell brings their cellphone along for the run anyway, lol???

It was like basketball a couple of weeks ago: I’m an adult who’s a little bit overweight that has been playing on the court for almost two whole hours now with only a few water breaks inbetween…usually every twenty minutes or so. A couple of kids then came by, played for about ten minutes, not super seriously like me, who’s been spinning and weaving around all over the place and stuff - and then they took off. I was shocked. I even asked them as they all started to leave, “That’s it?” And then they replied with simply, “Yes.”

I tell ya, this generation of kids…these guys are going to have some major health and mental issues when they get older if they don’t happen to smarten up. I mean, if a slightly overweight adult has a lot more energy than you at your current age - then you, boys and girls, have a serious problem.

Making certain individuals rich while others die and suffer the consequences for their actions.

Either that or it’s just some giant d*ck measuring contest.

Geeze, I feel like such a minority person by not entirely hating really liking Dragon Quarter.

Don’t let Liberty hear you say that, Marrend, or she’ll cut you.

You better run for the hills, now.

Well…guess it’s time to finally start commercialising Hero’s Realm now and making a decent living off that, lol.

But in all seriousness, I’m sad to hear about you losing your job, man. It always sucks when these types of things happen, especially out of the blue and seemingly out of nowhere. Hopefully you’ll find yourself some decent employment soon.

Not as bad as crossing the desert in 3.

And I totally forgot about poor ol’ Mina Elina (oops, thanks Feld) and what happens to her towards the end. Shit, that was pretty sad.
