winterwerefox posted:I regularly find expired food in my boomers fridge and cupboards. I think the record is mayo 7 years past it's best by in the back of their canned goods shelf and my dad going 'why you throwing that out?' Mayo is disgusting when it’s fresh so if it was 7 years past the best by I’d loving burn it or take it to a nuclear waste storage site

mojo1701a posted:My brother thankfully downloaded all of Law and Order, so my dad just constantly watches that instead of watching CBC Newsworld (24/7 news, but with less talking heads and more repeated news stories over and over and over again). My mom keeps busy with those Discovery shows and we've talked often about how UFOs could be real, but that doesn't mean the government is a bunch of baby eating globalists. She wants to go to one of the UFO conventions with me sometime, since we shared a fascination with that stuff when I was growing up. If I can find a non-Q-level-crazy one, I'd totally go with her. My dad on the other hand watches Golf or News, and News is him yelling at the TV about how the rich only exist to gently caress over the poor and how we should put people like Bezos in jail if they aren't gonna pay their taxes. He's stopped talking to A LOT of his boomer friends because, in his words, "they only care about their own money and nothing else, they don't want to help anyone and all they do is complain and be assholes". So, he's good I think. stealth edit - Dad voted for Perot in the GHWB/Clinton election, didn't vote in the 2000s because he hated both sides, became waaayyyyy more left leaning after 2008 when I couldn't find employment and he watched a ton of people around him lose everything. VERY thankful my parents aren't nutters.

There’s a noticeable pivot away from economic libertarianism on the part of certain boomers lately. I think Trump’s half assed support of protectionism as well as the opioid epidemic (not to mention Tucker Carlson’s ascension as Supreme Talking Head following Rush’s death) has allowed some conservatives to finally express their hatred of at least some rich people. Don’t get me wrong, they still hate having to pay taxes or have help go to the “wrong” people, but I don’t see quite the same pathetic worship of rich people as hard working business titans who give people jobs out of the goodness of their hearts like I did as recently as 2012 with Romney’s campaign.

My parents have been liberals and sorta-hippies their whole lives and both of them worked their whole lives as lawyers providing free legal services to the disadvantaged. They're also chill, nice, self-aware, and can use computers to some extent. Most of my models from this thread come from my uncles, who pretty much suck big time, and other boomers I've happened to know in my life

Mayo is mostly poo poo, only thing it is any good on is pizza. It gets a lot better when you fill it with garlic though.

That doesn't actually sound bad. I think the problem is that I really love vinegar and mustard and cheese to the point that it's difficult to think of situations where I wouldn't go with one of those over mayo. What do boomers think of condiments, though?

GlyphGryph posted:What do boomers think of condiments, though? Had to listen to a maskless garbage spewing boomer today waiting in line at the BMV. Had fun for a while thinking of snappy comebacks for later, as I will start poo poo when drinking, which I’m not generally doing in the morning at the BMV. Also, I’m a much better writer when sober, which is clear from my late night posting here so it’s fun to have material ready. Anyway at one one point I just looked at him a WTF look and he shut up the rest of the time. No idea what I did right, or wrong, but it worked. Since I’m a white guy of a certain age usually looking at these people encourages them. Dunno.

Remulak posted:That brown mustard is for Jews, frogs, and secret Muslims. Whenever I would have to go to the DMV they would always call out a number several times before moving on, and about half the time a few numbers later some older person would go up to the desk and complain no one called their number. There’s also a big sign showing what number is next, so it’s not like you couldn’t plan around it and prepare for your turn.

Alabama White Sauce is also an acceptable version of Mayo especially when seasoned well.

I'm trying to think of what condiments my boomer parents prefer, and I think it's mostly that ground-beef based chili sauce? The kind you put on hot dogs. They love that poo poo. That and bbq sauce.

bagmonkey posted:I don't know if Boomers are responsible for this but knowing Boomers, they are responsible for this. My wife collects certain dolls as a hobby. Not these ones, thankfully, but she tends to amass a lot of doll related knowledge, and I recall this type coming up in past conversations where she mentioned that some people buy these lifelike baby dolls as a coping mechanism to deal with the grief of losing a child or not being able to conceive. It doesn't make them any less creepy, sure, but I at least view them through a more sympathetic lens after learning that. People buying them for fun, I have no excuse for.

That and bbq sauce. My dad does salt, pepper, mustard, and mayo. Their tacos are plain, unseasoned ground beef, covered in preshredded cheddar cheese. Sometimes he'll add a trickle of the mildest taco sauce possible. My mom's only condiment is salt.

Over easter weekend I had this flashback to this second living room my grandmother had that nobody ever used and the furniture was covered in plastic. I guess that was more of a silent generation thing, dumb as gently caress tho. E: boomers do this with second houses I guess.

They're also chill, nice, self-aware, and can use computers to some extent. My grandmother worked for a lawyer that was a leftie like that! Gave her her start! I used to play in his offices. Funny thing, she ended up working in his firm, again, and works for his son, now, since he sadly passed. But she still voted Trump, though I'm fairly sure she has the job she does because of kindness and empathy. She's not stupid- She's actually quite smart, and I can speak with her easily, but she's incredibly misled. When I frame it right, she comes around. But don't mention the word socialist.

I was walking into a donut shop today and I heard the tail end of some conversation between two boomers which was obviously some right wing bullshit and then the guy talking looked over his shoulder and quietly said "Especially the Guatemalans. No point for guessing my area has a lot of immigrants from Guatemala who are constant victims of racism and frequent victims of hate crimes. GlyphGryph posted:She really does. Shame the CIA tried to destroy her career for making the president's wife cry. She remained popular in Europe. lol

I guess that was more of a silent generation thing, dumb as gently caress tho. My parents bought a sofa and love seat for their second living room they never entertained in. They were a wonderfully 90s floral and pastel green set. We perhaps sat on it 5 minutes every year because they did put the Christmas tree in that room.
