rotinaj posted:I shudder to think how many consignment shops and dumps are gonna be getting hundreds of thousands of VHS tapes of movies from the 80s and 90s in the next five to fifteen years. How many Boomer houses currently have an entire wall of vhses and dvds that nobody is going to watch again or touch for more than a minute when the Boomer croaks? They end up in rural Canada and you see them when staying at a cottage or staying at some small resort. Most places don't have internet or OTA TV signal and if its raining you'll likely want something to watch.

TheKennedys posted:there's a dude at work who I genuinely like as a person but holy gently caress he's almost pathologically incapable of turning off that tone of voice and it drives me up a wall. genuine compliments come off as sarcastic and meaningless and it's impossible to feel like he's actually listening to what you say. the only way he stops is if he thinks he genuinely hurt someone's feelings and even then it's very, very awkward to hear him try to be serious because it sounds forced A friend told me an amusing boot camp story about a guy there who sounded sarcastic 100% of the time and got in tons of trouble because of it and it wasn't until halfway during their stay that the instructors realized that he wasn't being sarcastic and it was just the guy's natural speech cadence.

Lib and let die posted:I think the thing that tilts me the most is that he knows that my job is "computers", but he will spend an entire evening doing nothing but raging against computers and technology, how bad they are, how nothing is simple anymore because of them, how we should just get rid of all of them, and I'm just kind of like "ok cool so i guess your daughter and i will be homeless when we delete technology and i have no meaningful income?" I have quite a bit of experience building transmissions, and to be quite truthful, old-school automatic transmissions are just very very finicky mechanical computers. Transmission design is like 1000x better now that computers decide how and when to shift; the things that people bitch about are generally because automakers program the loving things to get .001 better MPG and not ‘hey, this drives great’. Or bean-counter idiocy, but that’s never going away, either. There were a few irritating teething problems during the period where electronics were basically scabbed onto previously-designed mechanically-shifted transmissions, but newer stuff is so much easier to deal with when you can watch all inputs/outputs on a scanner to catch a problem. On a personal level, when I was a teenager first diagnosing and working on cars, the old fuckers were like ‘blasted computers, just take it all off and put a Holley on it, blah blah blah’, when anyone with three brain cells could see that this was the wave of the future and as a mechanic, you’d better learn how to fix it or watch your knowledge become useless. Now I’m old, but I still make every effort to keep abreast of new technologies and developments because nothing ever stays the same. So many boomers never accepted this.

My uncle and grandfather were auto mechanics and went from making decent money to being basically unable to work on cars built after like 1995.

We're so jealous of California, the state all the people bitching about it currently live in. We wish our state, California, were more like your state, California-but-you-commit-to-ignoring-or-excusing-all-of-its-problems. Also we say cali, nails on the chalkboard to people who use 'hella' in unironic conversation. One of the only 10/50 states to have banned affirmative action, first in the nation to do so tied with Texas (our opposite), and just reaffirmed its commitment to white supremacy with a vote total of over a million more votes than could be attributed to just Trump voters. Likewise, based on the vote totals, millions of lib voters supported creating a new underclass of un-worker, which is already gearing up to be replicated nationwide because we don't want to pay three bucks more for a cab ride. But it could be worse lots of places are hosed up and we wouldn't want to live in some chud state like Texas where people are racists... openly. But hey, we get first crack at the Central Valley's rock-hard flavorless big-ag tomatoes and blueberries found in literally every grocery store in the nation. Farmed by what is essentially slave labor and unsustainable water waste in a tinderbox state. But there are other slaves to deal with the fires. So what are we even complaining about. Oh yea 4 of the 6 lynchings of black people this summer during the protests. Other two were in Texas, which again, is our opposite. They're bad chuds and we're woke libs. But I can go from the beach to the mountains in the same day, because we're unaware the east coast also has mountains lying along its, uh, coast line. It also never gets cold here, because why would anyone want cold and snow in their lives! https://www.sandiegouniontribune.co...ountain-highway Why, in other states, for a part of the year, you have to put on a coat and hat just to be perfectly comfortable! Obsesssion with preserving an imagined 1960s suburb paradise, licking the rear end of the wealthy and hating the poor, reifying segregation in YOOL 2020, justifying it all with access to mass-produced creature comforts and insulating against criticism with a studied bad faith ignorance of the alternatives. Anyway, enough of this derail, lets get back to talking about what Boomers are like. PipHelix fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Jan 1, 2021 |

In N Out is great. It took me a few trips to really appreciate them. It's just a simple, "clean" burger. I do think they're overhyped, but I think that comes from the decades before there was serious competition. Being only in a few Southwestern states also adds to the mystique. It is really nice to have one within fifteen minutes of any major direction. I had a good laugh a couple years ago when it made national news that a fully intact In N Out burger was randomly found on a New York street.
