rotinaj posted:Where the gently caress do you live, because it sounds like the people there suck a whole lot High amount of Boomers in my neighborhood. It's upper income, mostly white, lots of bland local resturants all of which is like sugar for Boomers. And it being a grocery store, the one place Boomers will leave their TV to go to, means I deal with them all day. God dammit Boomers, learn to shop for more than one meal at a time!

I am thankful to boomers for inspiring me to try avocado. And if I pick the store right, I can get 6 for $1.

Do they still sell the weird "low fat" avocadoes anywhere? They were like 2-3 times the size of regular avocadoes and had a hard-to-describe texture kind of like a seriously underripe banana combined with a seriously underripe papaya and tasted like a slightly watery plastic.

There are a bunch of different avocado varieties. The ones grown in Florida are the big smooth ones that are more watery than oily.

I told her it would depend on if she had cable ports upstairs or not, then it would be a pretty simple matter of moving the TV and the cable box. This somehow kicked off a 20 minute conversation as she and her boomer kids (my mother in law included) kept insisting cable and Wifi were the same thing and if she got a smart TV she could move it around whenever she wanted and the cable would just be there and available because they didn't understand that a cable modem did not send cable through your house. there are wireless cable boxes that use wifi since most cable boxes are just a modem now but dont tell them that let them gently caress up their poo poo trying to run a 100ft cable upstairs snergle fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Jan 26, 2020 |

Had conversation with my dad today that he wanted to know, if I got a new job I just applied for that is like double my current salary but in a different city with cheaper housing, if I would be buying a house there. His mind was blown when I told him no and blown furthermore when he asked if my friends weren't buying houses now that we are in our 30s and I told him I don't know a single person in my fairly large circle of friends that owns including those in their mid 40s. His response was: "😡 I’m so sorry. It wasn’t easy for us either, but at least we had a chance." Like auughh dad, you and mom bought a house in SJ for like 70k and sold it when you retired for over 600k gently caress off

TotalLossBrain posted:boomers love buying low-fat versions of their convenience foods so they can cram ever-increasing amounts of it into their maws. Any visit to my parent's house is dealing with the low fat/low sugar version of every product imaginable. And it is every product imaginable, they have a refrigerator upstairs, another in the basement and that is next to a stand up freezer. I swear it is some sort of boomer obligation to own multiple refrigeration units for no discernible reason. Unless you are storing like, half a cow or pig or something you can't possibly need that much food storage.

They also completely fail to understand an outlook on the future that isn't bright. Even with Vietnam, the Cold War, and scientific literacy pointing toward Climate Change most Boomers had absolutely no reason to doubt that life would keep getting better, and thanks to mortgaging the future with assholes like Reagan and Clinton it reinforced them. That's why 9/11 was such a side-splitter. They don't know what it's like to grow up in a world where overall things do not look like they're going to get better, and how much of a net negative that is on one's ability to engage with things.

Cheesus posted:"Son, the mortgage and taxes on that house was nearly 12% of our after tax income and for 30 years we could only afford a two week vacation every other year. I remember one 4 year stretch when we could only do that vacation once!" To my in laws credit, they had to borrow money from a bunch of family to come up with the down payment, rented out their master bedroom while having 4 daughters all sharing the other bedroom and slept on a sofa bed in the living room for years and never go out to eat or go on vacations. But they are some of the few people that really had to bootstrap their way up to homeownership,and they aren't nearly as obnoxious as most white boomers would be. I also get the sense that a lot of goons don't seem to care for homeownership even if it were financially feasible. There's obviously downsides, like being tied to one area, having to deal with maintenance, and having to commit to paying off a big loan,not to mention the uncertainty of the future. Sleeping on a sofa bed while living with 9 other people with a coin toss chance that it will pan out is a risk and compromise many people wouldn't want to take if other options are available.

PostNouveau posted:That "X marked themselves safe" thing on Facebook is the most boomer poo poo ever. Like 1 person died in a factory explosion in Houston and I'm getting alerts from people marking themselves safe. It's entirely for old people who think every news story is about them and would otherwise be calling you like "I heard there was a shooting 3 miles away from you. Are you OK?" This is the Boomer equivalent of watching "World's Wildest Police Chases" with Sheriff John Bunnell twenty years ago and listening to his dramatic intensifying play-by-play narration of an otherwise routine police chase captured by a helicopter. "THIS LOWLIFE PUNK IN HIS STOLEN CAR JUST CAME WITHIN INCHES OF SIDESWIPING A SCHOOL BUS FULL OF CHILDREN!!" *school bus is in a parking lot 200 yards away and is empty*

Oooooh, boomers loving love, and I mean love, fash documentary shows like cops or world's wildest police chases. never mind that most of the people being chased are terrified non-violent offenders who committed the reprehensible crime of selling their friends weed. Boomers like to know that the law will always come down on your rear end and gently caress your life up if you get on the wrong side of it.

You Are A Elf posted:"THIS LOWLIFE PUNK IN HIS STOLEN CAR JUST CAME WITHIN INCHES OF SIDESWIPING A SCHOOL BUS FULL OF CHILDREN!!" I vividly remember an episode of some garbage police clip show where an old lady hit a burglar over the head with a teacup and he immediately ran away. It was not an action packed clip. But the narration was like "USING A TEACUP AS A TOMAHAWK, PHYLLIS MUSTERS ALL HER STRENGTH AND LANDS A PRECISION STRIKE." *Dramatic music and sound effects added in post.
