TotalLossBrain posted:I love this view. To be completely honest, it's lighter version of: "Look at what she was wearing!" When people are talking about women who were raped. Edit: (Thinking about it) It's a really boomery way of looking at the world. Where there are no external factors that are playing into what happens to a person, and that a person has complete and total choice about every single aspect of their lives. It's why with a straight face they can call the younger generation entitled, it's because the younger generation had more stuff growing up, and more overall (not individual) possible opportunity in the world. mazzi Chart Czar fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Nov 9, 2019 |

mazzi Chart Czar posted:Sucks that he died that manner. Tho: no cell-phone? Not understanding the limitations of his driving ability, nor the walk-ability of his surroundings? What'd he expect going out dressed like that. The part where he was partially eaten seems superfluous. Like what do we think happens to our bodies if we're left out for 2 weeks. It's the circle of life. EDIT: gently caress beaten on going out dressed like that.

um excuse me posted:One of my co-workers is 62, he salts his beer. He's a nice guy but some of his eating habits are awful. He also customizes a restaurant menu item to a point where its annoying or not what the chefs intentions were. Like once he ordered a French dip and held all of the vegetables and sauce so it was just meat cheese and bread. He then salted the jus. A French Dip doesn’t normally have vegetables. It doesn’t normally have cheese either. A traditional French Dip is just a French roll with thin sliced roast beef dipped in au jus. Boomer did the right thing IMO.

Who What Now posted:HOAs are more powerful than God It probably falls under that whole Chief Justice Roberts view of "you agreed to it, therefore you are held to it," as it applies to EULA's and employee agreements and poo poo. You bought the house, therefore you agree to the HOA and all its rules. Never mind that I didn't actually get my HOA's rules until closing. Should I have held everything up right then and there, and said, "Excuse me, I must review this 100+ page book to ensure there's nothing in it I object to before signing anything?" And if I decided to walk away from the deal because I disagreed with the HOA rules, the sellers could technically sued me for all the time their home was off the market. It's compulsory capitalism. You cannot work here without signing away your rights to sue the employer in court; if you don't sign away your rights, you don't get the job. You cannot use this software/website unless you agree to this EULA; if you don't agree to the EULA you cannot use software/websites. You cannot own a home if you don't agree to the HOA rules and regulations; if you don't agree to the HOA rules and regulations, you cannot own a home. So much for freedom and liberty. gently caress boomers, gently caress Republicans, and gently caress Republican boomers.

Where there are no external factors that are playing into what happens to a person, and that a person has complete and total choice about every single aspect of their lives. This is also why Boomers abhor the notion of "luck" from a combination of social insulation and Protestant brainwashing. Luck is best defined as "any variable you cannot reasonably account for." Luck is a prerequisite for success, the same way "Hard Work" is a prerequisite for sustained success. Even if the Luck is as minor as "nothing came between me and getting to the job interview on time" that is still Luck. Boomers will get violently defensive if you point out that for all of their hard work, there was still an element of chance and literally billions of people around them got hosed for no other reason that (essentially) dumb chance. You get a 2x multiplier if they quote that loving Jefferson quote "the harder I work the luckier I seem to be." Yeah quoting the trust fund prodigy who lived on the backs of slaves is a real refutation of the hypothesis that hard work and fallibility are two different things.

Yeah quoting the trust fund prodigy who lived on the backs of slaves is a real refutation of the hypothesis that hard work and fallibility are two different things. Being a hard worker was quantifiable, because a person would work a single job, and if they worked over time, they would get ahead. That was the practical application of what being a "hard worker" was. Now people work two jobs that don't make enough, or the job is just so doggedly tired that, gently caress, they rather sleep to get ready for their next shift.

Okay, A man has died, here. This is a solemn moment that could happen to anyone, so I DON'T want to hear irrelevant quips like "maybe one of those infantile millenials should've taught him how to walk" or "like a boomer, the vultures waited until his meat was well done" and I ESPECIALLY don't want to see anyone post, "throughout his entire fall he tugged desperately at his bootstraps." Got it? Let's keep it classy in here.

Yeah sure, if you weren't too brown, or too sexy, or not sexy enough, or you didn't happen to apply for a promotion on the same day your boss had a headache, or any of dozens to thousands of other tiny variables that influence things. The world isn't just random dice rolls but there is always more at play than any individual or group of individuals can possibly account for. You can do literally everything correctly under your power and still fail. Boomers are allergic to understanding this.

When I bought my house it said there was an annual $150 fee for HOA. That's cool. That pays for dusk to dawn lights and snow plows and potholes and poo poo. But almost every year I've lived there, there is a "special addendum" added to the $150. The past two years it's been an additional $350. I could just not pay it, but then they can put a lean on my house.

I bet the person complaining about having Ok Boomer said to them was on some long racist rant cribbed from The Daily Caller or The Blaze. HR would probably tell you to just get a thicker skin if you complained about that. And uh, A HOA could force you out of your house if you don't comply? That is seriously hosed up. And I've said, the Conservative Mind wants the world they live in to be a HOA; they want to have the freedom for things to be exactly how they want it, and if you don't like it, you can gently caress off. It's an extremely selfish kind of Freedom they desire.
