Uncle Lloyd posted:My parents ended up with a box of Omaha Steaks one year that I think one of them won at a work raffle or something. They came with mashed potatoes or some such and some apple pastries that were actually pretty good. It wasn't bad food by any means, just not even remotely close to being worth what they sell it for. my inlaws sent me some a couple years ago for Christmas and it was a nice gesture, but relative to what they cost not worth it. the sides were better than the steaks if anything; the steaks were just kind of sad.

Bonzo posted:Yet when you remind them that local butchers are still a thing, you'll get to hear that the local shop is no good because they have Halal products or the owner has a beard and tattoos. Boomers really hate facial hair and/or tattoos. They've been more and more mainstream over the last 20 years, but to a boomer mush brain it's still a sign that you're untrustworthy and likely to be homeless or an outlaw biker out to stab them.

When I was a kid I would only see these in grown mens offices/dens and they wouldn't let me play with them, which instilled in me the life long (and correct) belief that they were stupid toys for boring grown ups. So yeah the hummel comparison is dead on edit quote : Iron Crowned posted:Boomers really hate facial hair and/or tattoos.

I'll never forget my distant cousins wedding when my aunt, with her massive bolted on fake tits and her dress that revealed them so much that you could see every long spidery vein, complained that one of my other cousins didn't cover up her sleeve tattoos The loving bride and groom didn't even care why the gently caress did my aunt lol, oh yeah because of old calcified boomer brain. My tattoo'd cousin was even a bridesmaid and had to wear the dress that the bride wanted her to, my aunt chose to show off her new tits at a family event.

Fat and tattooed here and boomers either heavily scrutinize my tattoos (you’ll hate them when you get old/you’ll change your mind/what if you have kids) or have a weird “no let me TOUCH” without asking thing. The latter applies to my hair as well and it’s never not dehumanizing!!!! You don’t loving touch people apropos of loving nothing holy poo poo why is this a thing that needs to be explained to grown rear end adults.

I'm in my mid-30s and I see a lot of people my age covering up or changing tattoos that they got 15 years ago because they've turned into blobs (the tattoos and/or the people themselves), not because they regretted them. Welp that's my tattoo story, see ya.

SwitchbladeKult posted:In my experience it has always been Boomer family members gifting you money then getting bent out of shape about it and ruin their relationship with you because they said it was a gift but actually expected you'd treat it like a loan that gives them permission to control your life until you repay it. Call back to the earlier conversation on why I refuse gifts from my Boomer parents. Sounds like most old school Chinese parents

I got it when I was a kid from kids, and now more as an adult...from adults. Kids I’m whatever with, they’re kids, use it as a teaching opportunity. Adults get a scowl if they’re lucky. What gets me is that I’ve had it with natural, relaxed and braided hair. It’s very much A Race Thing and like...if I did that to a white lady I’d be lynched.

I got into a slap fight with a business-shithead Boomer years ago on Facebook, and he tried to use the "oh yeah I gently caress my wife like a monster you little pussy" as a retort. This was my first encounter with such a piece of human waste, and I had no idea what to do. The raw, steaming misogyny just locked my brain up.

The world needs a special task force that locates people like this and just films their life for a day to quantify how full of poo poo they are. Also needs that for every forbes.com/cnbc/whatever article about THIS MILLENNIAL BECAME A MILLIONAIRE BY AGE 25, WHY ARE YOU SUCH A PIECE OF poo poo?! The answer is always "their parents are rich."

They've been more and more mainstream over the last 20 years, but to a boomer mush brain it's still a sign that you're untrustworthy and likely to be homeless or an outlaw biker out to stab them. I haven't cut my hair in over three years now. My beard, almost five years. The one tattoo I have is from the military and covered. When boomers give me poo poo I point at my veteran license plate (mine was free or I wouldn't advertise) or just show my tattoo (unit deployment patch, I know, I know, I was 22, shut the gently caress up). The ones that get it shut the gently caress up immediately about hair and tattoos, it's all glad-hands and poo poo I reply to with, "thanks for paying your taxes." If nothing else, it adds leverage because of how many boomers are vietnam vets, or remember seeing that poo poo on tv every day growing up. Discussions with the late boomers, who see hippy hair but know about the military end of it too, usually leads to poo poo like, "I had cousin come back from Nam. Let his hair grow, hosed off into the woods for a long time. Now he has a brigade of taxidermied squirrels and never talks to anyone but (generic war buddy). Real shame about him." gently caress those people. We're not all that crazy and vets tend not to stand by and watch their buddies kill themselves over time. But goddamn does hair and tattoos add to the PTSD stigma.

I'd believe that a good degree of the Boomer veteran worship comes from most of their parents being revered soldiers that they could never possibly live up to. So they grew up thinking the army/navy/marines were the coolest poo poo ever, even while they watch their friends and brothers commit war crimes during Vietnam. Now when they find out younger person (or heaven forbid their own child) is a vet they feel like they might be able to recapture some of that "military by association" feeling. But because they were also raised with a vicious dislike for anything that doesn't conform to WASP culture, they get a shock when they find out that the military isn't anything like what they remember it being.

I grew up watching Audie Murphy war movies and Combat! on TV and stuff like that. I had a rose tinted view of the military for the longest time until the Vietnam war changed my perspective. I went from hero worship to thinking "you poor drafted-rear end bastard, you didn't deserve that".

I don't know if we blame the boomers for that or more likely the silents, but gently caress it so drat hard regardless.
