If your college dorm didn’t have a Phantom Stairwell Shitter who you unmasked in a scooby-doo-cum-poirot type investigatory revelation at the end of the semester then i just feel sorry for you. You didn’t get the real college experience.

The army has at least one phantom shitter per unit. It's like the army figured out how to identify people who like to poo poo in public places for thrills and spread them around the army at roughly one per company. Sometimes there are more, but rarely none.

That said, my last unit was a small company housed in a battalion barracks and there were several poo poo players in the game. Washing machines were a regular target, and why I stuck next to the laundry room while my clothes washed.

Mostly it's just people that draw dicks on bathroom or outhouse walls.

Today a boomer in a fashy lifted truck was driving like an absolute dick so i flipped him off, he proceeded to abruptly careen across three lanes, cutting me off in the turn lane i had merged into, and slammed his brakes on. I guess it was an attempt to get me to crash into him, but it didn't work bc I've got catlike reflexes unlike him. Then he crossed the double yellow lines when he turned.
Anyways, it was on the way into the mall parking lot.

Yes, Boomers have weird ideas on what should and should not increase in value. They have absolutely no problem with a restaurant or store’s rent going up 50% in 10 years, but suggest the minimum wage increases too and suddenly they’re the Lorax for small business owners.

All of this is just capitalism as described by marx, not boomerism per se. but seeing as how white boomers were the living generation with proportionally the greatest access to capital over the course of their lives, and happen to currently be in many if not most senior positions of authority, it might appear to be a boomer thing.

At my job we have trolleys that are hooked up and need a $1 or $2 coin to unlock and use and you get your coin back when you hook it up again, naturally this led to complaints and now they are all unhooked, I witness so many people, always old boomers using the trolleys to move nothing more than a tiny handbag and just dumping it in random places, yesterday it was in front of the automatic doors, exactly opposite the trolley bay, Today it was in the middle of the rope barriers in front of the airline check in counter, while maintaining eye contact with me. I loving hate them (and my job).

Boomers love to counter "hey people working service jobs should be paid a living wage" with "But everything will become more expensive! If you force Starbucks to pay its workers 20$ an hour coffees will become $10!!".

Because its the workers who are the problem, the lowest paid part of the company, not its executives and CEOs that make the big bucks, they aren't the problem at all. Boomers love to blame all social problems on people who have zero ability to affect anything.

Starbucks is already overpriced for reasons not related to wages. It's the bud light of coffee but instead if finding it at reasonable prices, it's like you're always paying some 15¢ deposit and it's only in the part of town with higher sales taxes.

Boomers don't understand the phrase, "a rising tide lifts all boats."

Really more the capitalist ideas of being pretty much crack addicts except the crack is money, and the copper they tear out of the walls to sell for crack is national infrastructure.

I found out my dad is a climate change denier today, and to be honest it's really shaken a lot of the foundation of someone I respect (I otherwise have a fantastic relationship with my dad). The tv flashed a picture of egg boy and Greta and he immediately starting getting stuck into them both. I asked how he couldn't believe in something like climate change, asked him about the droughts and fires and just the HEAT Australia has had over the past decades. I showed him a time-lapse of glaciers retreating further and further over fifty years, and he watched the whole thing and just put the phone down without saying anything. As he left he said that we all have our own beliefs and that he has his.


I really think that there is some degree of narcissism that makes talking to people like this impossible - they already seem to think they've stumbled onto the secret knowledge and hidden wisdom that eludes the rest of us, even though they accept rational thinking when it comes to making cars run and phones work and surgical procedures but oh no climate science is just hokum.

he knows climate change is real, as does everyone, except admitting that it is real would be to admit you vote and live against the interests of the human race and rather to serve your own selfish needs

Honestly, even without climate change I'd argue that we need to change the way we live. The air we breathe is toxic and carcinogenic (especially in big cities or near major roads) and so are the things we ingest, pollution (including noise pollution) is negatively affecting the lives of millions, obesity rates are rocketing across the world, biodiversity is steadily decreasing, and so on. Climate change just makes the problems existential on a collective level, but apparently even that's not enough for boomers.

I'm really pissed off about right-wing parties, that claim to be all about long-term sustainability when it comes to things like social security and immigration, throwing all of that out of the window when it comes to the much more fundamental ecological problems. Suddenly it's good to be the entitled grasshopper and not the ant, just because they don't want to change a thing about their comfortable lifestyles.
