I just want to know why in the hell boomers are so obsessed with the idea that EVERYONE MUST HAVE THEIR OWN KIDS. I don’t loving get it, we can’t be the only generation to have people who didn’t want to be parents, couldn’t have kids and so on. Yet not only is the idea completely alien to them, it’s downright offensive. Parents my age don’t pull this poo poo, they dearly love their children but they don’t sugarcoat the insane costs and responsibilities they now have. But the boomers have no loving problem demanding to know when I’m going to get my wife pregnant, how many times, why she’s avoiding the greatest thing a woman can do, why I’m not doing my duty as a man to give her children, carry on my family name and legacy and so on. What the gently caress.

Elderbean posted:Boomers like going into a movie without any idea as to what its about and then they walk out when the mute lady fucks the fishman. I never understand this because going to art museums is always loving awesome. Yeah, I don't pretend to understand it but it looks loving cool and it's good to stretch your mind a bit.

My middle management would literally rather pay people more than every allow them to work from home, even though we’re all given laptops and we just do data analysis or stuff like that.

bobjr posted:My work just pushes the “no one actually gets anything done if they work from home” line, when I think it’s more people I work with would likely just not “work” a full 8-9 hours because they could get stuff done before then. I would actually be motivated to get more work done if I were allowed to avoid Friday afternoon traffic and sit in my yard in the summer instead.

Krispy Wafer posted:You can probably look them up on YouTube. Several videos were declassified of fighter jet cameras chasing tic tac shaped objects that didn't move like anything we've ever seen before. So it's either top secret drones that move like Neo in the Matrix, phantom radar signatures computer glitches, or aliens. More likely than not they're experimental drones whose footage was released to tell other militaries that "we're working on crazy poo poo, so watch out".

BigDave posted:CBS News is basically CNN for people with sensitive stomachs and can't stay awake past 9PM. Funny story - to get an Internet package, I had to get basic cable. So the installer is doing his thing and then panics and says, “I forgot to tell you, you won’t get channel 7 due to a contract freeze (local CBS channel), is that a problem?” And I’m like, “uh, no way is that a problem”. It’s been two years and there hasn’t been a single time I’ve wanted to watch that channel or anything on it. Absolute waste of airwaves right there.

He's been pretty upfront about his own mortality after my mom passed. This is so loving irresponsible. I lost my mother suddenly a few years back when she was 55, and I'm so thankful she had "the talk" with my father about what she wanted if the worst were to happen. It doesn't make the situation any better, but holy gently caress does it prevent it from becoming so much worse.

Milo and POTUS posted:Why would you cram things up his peehole Every experiment needs a control. The rent/buy thing is really tough. Where I'm at I was facing 8-12% yearly increases in rent, and the average price for a 2 bed/bath apartment in the whole county is more than my monthly mortgage. I'm lucky as gently caress to have gotten out of that cycle and I wish things would stabilize for everyone else. It's working out for me but it's so drat individualized that any boomer who says "buy a house" is a complete moron. But the lawn? gently caress that. The front lawn is slowly getting torn up for fruit trees and the back is a combination of fruit bushes, raised veggie beds, flowers and japanese maples. Lawns loving suck. No one in my neighborhood waters their lawn, it's awesome. ETA: Also, the landlord harassment. Constant 24 hour notices to enter, charging to accepting packages, fees for every last loving thing and so on. Solkanar512 fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Mar 6, 2020 |

Outrail posted:I'm at the stage where I want to buy a house but can't afford to, so I'm paying attention to the market. Housing is skyrocketing in my town and apparently it's totally okay for home owners to gleefully crow about how much their house value has gone up in the last year but it's verboten to pray for a housing crash. It's straight up gently caress you got mine. The more houses they own the less they think you should be able to afford one. Seriously, gently caress home values - they want them to go up then whine and cry when property taxes go up. Houses are places to live, not investment accounts. That sort of attitude also drives the most loving banal design as well. And yeah, tax the gently caress out of non-primary residences and vacancies as well.

My dad had an El Camino and I was pleasantly surprised to see one driving around a few months ago. I imagine they get horrible mileage, though.

univbee posted:Anyway I had my first major-ish trading of blows with my dad yesterday. Nowhere near as bad as what many go through daily, mind you, but he had this really deep-set notion that you should be working 60+ hours a week on 40 hours’ pay due to loving your work and proving yourself. I doubt I got through to him that all that does now is show you as a patsy who’ll work for free and not get you a promotion or even your job saved if the shares go down 0.25% ever. And also that despite having a “good job” I’m making less than minimum wage when he was growing up. His employment history is also textbook “all of my advice worked great for me”, like he was a professor with no union contract and quit 30 years ago and they apparently still pay for his health care benefits, apparently out of the goodness of their hearts. Your dad can go gently caress himself.

Ok, it’s a little weird that you can’t buy seeds at the grocery store, but uh, there’s a thing called mail order. All the cool seeds come from online shops or Etsy stores or whatever. And sure if you have a greenhouse or an indoor germination setup you can plant now (or should have started weeks ago), yeah if there’s snow on the ground you are doing poo poo. But these are basic as poo poo boomers who haven’t been planing their garden for months now and aren’t thinking ahead and just want to drown their lawns in weed and feed. And gently caress your lawn. As far as I’m concerned, “lawn care” is caring about where you’re going to dig out your next flower bed.

Thing boomers love: complaining about property taxes. Holy loving poo poo do they get pissed off when you point out that you went to school when they first started to gut things and how much harm it did. You become "nasty" and "divisive" when you start grilling them as to why they claim to "support schools" and then vote against school levies to repair elementary school buildings so they don't leak anymore. Yeah, the leads on Nextdoor hate me, but they can go gently caress themselves.
