Old boomer men in particular love being proud of not eating vegetables. As if that somehow makes them manlier.

Hey now greens are a staple of southern food, which is why they are fried in lard and/or drowned in butter

As if that somehow makes them manlier. listened to a guy describe his wife's dad as the kind of guy who died in his 60s from chronic heart failure because he would not stop eating lard fried biscuits every morning no matter how bad his health got because it's what his dad (who worked on a farm with backbreaking labor) did. it's like they want to RP being hardscrabble dirt poor farmers who do Real Work despite living in relative luxury and not worrying about a bad harvest wiping out their income and losing their house to the bank.

Boomers cannot comprehend that if there's nothing you want to see on TV, you don't have to have it on. The mute button also confuses them greatly.

wesleywillis posted:I've been crushing the poo poo out of Diet Dr. Pepper the last few months myself. I lived in Korea, and one night out drinking the local coworkers made fun of another guy calling him jo-ka-ra and pointing at their crotch. I'm like, hahha guys funny joke, but I'm not about to jump on a dude I barely know and don't hate or anything. I assume it means little dick. Years later on Rosetta Stone I learn it means 'chopstick' and yes I was that ugly of an American I lived in Korea without learning a basic rear end word like 'chopstick' and realized it meant "thindick", told my friends from back then and we were all blown away. It's such a great insult that barely exists in english.

Boomers love faxes. And especially sending those to entirely the wrong number, usually the actual phone number of a business rather than the fax number itself. It is especially fun when not all fax machines are created equal, as while most have immediatly the tell tale "beep" of someone not understanding that different phone numbers for different services exist, you get the occasional really annoying ones, like the one that is silent for just long enough for you to do your introduction, have a second or two of awkward silence, followed by a loud "BEEEEP" that almost feels like intentional trolling. And even if you then send the fax call to an actual fax machine, it does not mean that this satisfies the boomer as they may decide that the number it got sent to is wrong, so of course they try to send it again... to the telephone number you are on  My personal favorite was someone doing this a tlike 4AM, trying it every couple minutes for half an hour straight. I dunno what can bring a person to try and send a fax at 4AM, try to send it repeatedly when something did not seem right on their end, and never bother to check if they got the right number throughout the several attempts it takes

The idea of a large, high-capacity multifunction color laser printer placed in a conveniently central location in the office that they have to walk all of 5 meters to is apparently a grave insult to their self-determined importance. Clearly their second-assistant job involves so much "confidential" material that has to be printed that they must have a personal printer on their desk.

Pretty good posted:Boomers love having printers at home, so they can print stuff off of the computer "Internetausdrucker" is a German insult by the way. It's someone who prints the Internet. My mother told me tales of a colleague who would insist on printing all their emails, even the spam, and filing them in ring binders. Same with web pages.

You just described a co-worker and I had no idea this was a thing beyond her. When I was new, I thought the printer on her desk was the only printer for our department, so I asked her about how to access it, and she was like, "No, this printer is mine," and how it's not on the network, she was hardwired to it. Now, you'd think that her describing a printer as "mine," meant it was literally hers, like she brought it from home. Nope! It's a company printer. Somehow, she got it away from IT and onto her desk and was able to make it so that only she used it.

Every office job I've worked has had at least one but usually several people who either considers it below them to share a printer or are simply too lazy to get out of their chair and walk ten steps to the shared printer. All of them would try to pull the "I print a lot of confidential stuff" card when told they can't have a personal printer.

This is like when two Russian guys on a train called me 'pussyf*ggot' for drinking beer instead of vodka with them. There' something awesome about learning a new swear after 30. It happens so rare.

That's why big multifunctions have confidential/password-hold printing options. Not to use them, because nobody does, but to cut through the "Jim says he can't have someone steal his all-important documents!!!" whine when the salesperson pitches a business on the idea of replacing their personal printers with central ones.

Hihohe posted:Oranges are one of the most disappointing fruits, at least to me. They are a bitch to open, messy, and their texture is all kinds hosed. Compared to apples, pears, and bananas, oranges only contributing factor is its juice. Sumos (dekopons) are oranges as they should be. Oranges that want to be eaten.

If you can, try to find a citron and then try to eat that fucker. And then realize that all modern citrus fruits are carefully bred and selected cultivars of it. Seriously, what civilization has done to get all variety of wild plants to be edible is kind of mind boggling. Most wild cultivars of virtually every modern vegetable and fruit are barely edible at best, or downright impossible to eat at worst.

I have three giant pomelo trees in front of my house and they’re just loaded with impressive-looking fruit which is close to inedible. Imagine a fruit nearly the size of a football with rind so thick that the actual edible part is the size of an apricot and so acidic it makes a grapefruit taste like a grape.
