There's an outdoor concert venue in Massachusetts that has Jimmy Buffet pretty much every year. When you go to anything at all at this venue you'll see plenty of middle aged people tailgating before the show. When Jimmy Buffet comes to town, absolutely without fail people poo poo all over the parking lot. I'm not saying they leave garbage, they literally poo poo on the ground even though you're never out of sight of a portable toilet in this lot. This is only a problem with Jimmy Buffet concerts.

It's because backing into parking spaces is nothing but a dick waving move to show off that they can do it. No coincidence that it's most often done by dudes driving small dick compensation massive trucks, too.

The correct way is to back into the parking space from the aisle, without an open space opposite it.

The correct way is to just veer out of the aisle asap and put it in park, regardless of how many spaces it takes up. It's an empty parking lot, no one will care

When I pause to think of people in the Boomer age bracket, I immediately think of my parents, the most compassionate, thoughtful and wise people I could ever hope to meet, not the Fox News-watching hateful archetypes being described in this thread. Boomers, Generation Xers, Millenials...... we're all part of Generation Human. How quickly we forget this.

I probably would have less disdain if they hadn't made everything unaffordable through their greed and entitlement, continued to choose the worst among us to be leaders, destroyed the Earth, and stole our future.

The first thing that really clued me into the horrible nature of the boomers was the Iraq war protests back in 2003 when the boomers and their proxies in the media complained that the protests weren't "legitimate" and it all led back to their protests (Vietnam and the civil rights movement) were righteous and good but these were just lazy, dumb people. This opened my eyes to the boomer and their way of thinking.

Everything led back to the 60s. Best music, coolest people, best actors and actresses, all culture that came from the 60s was great and everything else was just crap. The Beatles will always be the best band, Pink Floyd, Zepplin, etc. the only music that mattered. These people would get on TV and radio and reinforce this over and over until a lot of younger people just believed it.

Politically the boomers are monsters. After practically mainstreaming weed smoking and cocaine in the 60s and 70s they turned around in the 80s and made drug penalties so harsh that the US became the most incarcerated nation on earth. They complain that somehow minorities will hijack democracy and vote themselves benefits and then DO EXACTLY THAT by changing tax laws and adding medicare entitlements that benefit them as they age ignoring any impact these things have on anything else. Through the 90s and 2000s they did what they could to make themselves comfortable but when it started to look like younger people may be coming into power and changing the priorities of the nation they spearhead the election of the worst person possible for president because he will cater to them while making GBS threads on everyone else and that's their MO.

The boomers are probably the first generation in American history to literally not care that their children and grandchildren will have it worse than they did. Other generations would have viewed this as a failure but boomers honestly don't care because they will likely be the last generation to retire comfortably while the rest of us work until we die and society collapses due to some boomer triggered nightmare event.

I love my parents but they are solidly in this camp. They are clueless and think other people are just lazy or irresponsible and not burdened by crippling debt and problems caused by polices put in place by their generation.

Also I don't think there's anything wrong with putting two spaces after a period, it's how I learned to type in HS and I'm not going to relearn just because someone thinks it looks weird. Get over it.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Being the first people in line for something, then complaining that it's "Taking too long to open" even when posted hours are very clearly marked.

Complaining that there's a War on Christmas because not everybody greets them with "Jesus Bless and Keep You on This Holiest of Holidays - Christmas", then spending Christmas Eve drunk and fighting with their family before loudly complaining about having to go to church.
