Da often-largely-bu**s**t "you think THAT'S difficult/meager/boring?? You coddled soft-livin' young people of today haven't a bleepin' CLUE about how dull/tough/harsh things USED to be for the common person!" retort given by arrogant elders to try to brush off a whiny-but-often-perfectly reasonable/legitimate request/complaint/excuse proffered by someone "from da newer generation".
Before you go sagely wagging your finger and snorting, "Why, when I was a boy..." anytime a younger person whimpers/protests to you about something, you should first seriously consider whether whatever "way back when" condition that you are referring to was truly fair/wise/healthy, or if it was merely based on the "unenlightened" prejudiced/close-minded/stereotypical thinking, unawareness/disregard for basic health/safety concerns, etc. which was so tragically rampant "back in the good ol' days", such as toxic building-materials, leaded gasoline, racial hatred, disregard for the dangers of radioactivity, lack of tolerance/sympathy/allowances for physically and/or mentally-challenged citizens, etc. Maybe the "young whippersnapper" who is bringing his dissatisfaction to your attention does indeed have a valid point which stems from modern-day knowledge and progressive thinking --- again, just because YOU had to put up with all of that "insipid/hard/agonized-living" crap during your formative years does **not** arbitrarily mean that it was fair or safe or reasonable, and therefore you should not blindly use it as a justifying example of what said youngster should think/tolerate nowadays.

Get the WHY THE FUCK NOTmug. Hym "That's 'why would they do that.' THAT'S the reason! And the money you are losing now IN NO WAY constitutes paying for AI. NO MORE ELON IF I DON'T GET PAID! Get him the fuck out of here. He needs to bring his bitch ass down here.... And drive me to a bank of his choosing and set me up with an account and then he needs to transfer the money INTO THAT ACCOUNT. I want all of these tech faggots using my theory to sign the paperwork to signify that THEY KNOW THAT I AM THE ONE WHO CAME UP WITH THE THING THEY ARE BUILDING... And then they need to fuck off. That is how this works! You give me that money you piece of shit! I have a medical condition and I am in a state of constant discomfort and/or pain! You give me that money so I can treat myself. No strings attached. Or I will murder children in a manner that is so deliberate you will have a hard time distinguishing between me and a Jew."

Get the Why would they do thatmug. Refers generally to cannabis-based therapy but could also refer to other psychedelics, or more broadly to embracing nonchalance. Pending context, the expression could be an invitation to others to partake in an activity, or a declaration of indifference to one's carefree decision making. The expression is generally used without punctuation, similar to Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On', and is also seen abbreviated to WNM.

A retard "Which is why I'm pretending to be him! Cus, you know, I'm not a Neo-Nazi but this guy is better than me at an existential level! What I'm doing is a reflection of his neo-nazi-ism and is NOT a reflection of how warped my own mind is! Really! I certainty wasn't enamored with how brilliant and cool he is... This is um... Not that..."
