My dad HATED computers. But around 1996 he was all about buying one. At the time I was working at a small computer shop and I thought maybe he was just supporting me and the new business. About 6 months later his video card died so I came out to swap in a new one. And that's when I find the see that he uses Adult Check and the heard the numerous "Uh oh. Uh Oh" sounds of all his missed ICQ messages from people me met in adult chat rooms.

Interacting with Boomers (and older) make me wonder to what extent modern communications and video/photo technology has destroyed the casual infidelity economy of their time. One dude retired rather than deal with discipline for OT skimming, and his desk had dozens of 70s-80s era bachelor party pictures of coworkers loving strippers. The older dudes say poo poo like, "never liked hookers myself, but I remember [all the places where you could discreetly get a 5 dollar blowjob after work within 500 feet of the yard]." You get a glimpse of it whenever you read about China's mistress economy, you know that poo poo is universal

God I worked at a Best buy in an area of Texas where a lot of people had been lifted out of blue collar work and into cushy office jobs when that came out on DVD. The absolute scum that came in to buy that and then threw literal temper tantrums when we didn't have it (because we we're constantly sold out) was loving mind bending for 21 year old me.

This happened to me in December in a grocery store parking lot, across the street from the auto repair shop that I ended up using. They whipped around the end of the aisle and hit me head on, and I got to replace my battered front end. The boomer's car was a burgundy mini-SUV and was texting at the time they hit me. lol

My mom is a cool and good Boomer, but my dad and stepmom aren't. These are my observations on their behavior: Watches local news and determines nearest city is a crime-riddled hellscape Lives in a four-bedroom lakefront home that houses two people, is hours away from their children, idolizes their younger neighbors who use their homes only on holidays at most, and knows that their home will sell for less than they built it for Believes that they are history experts because they've seen some things on History and American HEROES Channel about that Hitler fella Drives a Honda CR-V because they're "safer" Really, really hate TrOmp... blames his election on RUSSIAN interference and millennials not voting in larger numbers (never mentioning his yuge support amongst their generation) Watches sports with the closed captioning blocking the score graphics Wants to travel to Europe, only to see Omaha beach Tips 10-15% irregardless of service quality Thinks staring at much younger women while wearing sunglasses isn't creepy and detectable Complains about those lazy young people while both of their last career positions were permanently eliminated when they retired Bitches about public pensions but stepmom receives hers from the USPS, which is one of the most robust ones around Ferdinand Bardamu fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Apr 10, 2019 |

Leaving their car unlocked confident nobody under 50 knows how to drive a stick shift anymore. Writing their passwords in scribbly cursive on post it notes on their monitor, figuring millennials were too lazy to learn how to read /write cursive. Enthusiastically voting down a parcel tax for a new library then bitching about all the hooligans loitering around with nothing to do.

They'll take you for a ride in it once and say something like, "I don't take this thing out enough, you know, a young man like you should have a car like this." And you're like, "You want me to have this car?" Then they almost wreck the car from laughing so hard and they say, "I'm gonna be buried in this car."
