I've gotten at least four jobs by just boomer style barging in and demanding an interview. Three were minimum wage and the fourth treated me like dogshit and unlawfully withheld wages.

My dad's wife is the designated cook. I demand she let me cook a meal every now when I'm visiting and she'll hover to make sure I don't dump in a bunch of spicy stuff. A teaspoon of chilli powder in a jambalaya is 'oh nooo that's going to be very hot outrail!'. She's also mystified by the concept of winging it and can't handle me not not having a recipe. Apparently she follows a recipe for literally everything more complicated than a sandwich and would be at a complete loss is someone stole her books. Her food isn't bad, she just can't improvise or be creative. Savage For The Winjun posted:Hell yah brother i get all my jobs like this but im also tall handsome and well spoken. It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize any company that will hire a random dickhead off the street likey can't hang onto employees for a reason and is probably a poo poo place to work. Barge in, demand a job and if they hire you run away, if they don't hire you.... gently caress.

winterwerefox posted:If you are poor, you are a bad person. Millennials and Younger are all poor. They must be Slothful in their work, for they would succeed if they jsut worked harder. they wouldnt have debt if they jsut tried. Lustful in relations, for they do not marry have have all the kids. filled with wroth over their failures, over things that were always done this way. Envy of their elders success, Gluttonous in their wants with such decadance as avacado toast and coffees. Their Pride keeps wholesome boomer bosses from promoting them, as well as keeping them from asking for better jobs. Their Greed means they dont want to work for anything, and just want others to pay for it. LOL, this is the first time I noticed trump is the embodiment of the 7 deadly sins. Nice.

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. The success of your investment property shouldn't gently caress someone's chances of owning a home. loving boomer landlords, maximum taxes on second homes Imo.

Time_pants posted:So when the 'Rona starts murdering Boomers by the thousands, what does everyone foresee as the most likely response? The response is almost certain to be irrational, counter productive and result in a extra negative outcome for a disadvantaged minority. Those who did the most harm will shout their disbelief that things happened the way they did, throw their arms to the sky and disavow any culpability. Anyone who attempted to actual solve the problem will be blamed for failing to prevent needless deaths and those who made everything work out far worse than it should have will profit immensely. Nothing of any vlue will be learnt and the whole stupid mess will happen again in 2120 when smallpox ravages the antivax led remains of old earth.

Iron Crowned posted:That reminds me that boomer men are really loving weird about shopping. You'll see them just loiter about while their wife shops. Sometimes you'll see them just hanging out in the car while their wife gets groceries, only to pull up to the curb when they leave the store. A) Their wives demand they come shopping with them B) They need to escort their wives for some dumb reason C) They've got sad empty lives. D) All of the above

Panfilo posted:It's not just boomer aged men. When we went in a Danilo trip to Disneyland my brother insisted he drive the 9 hour trip both ways because it was "his" truck. So not only did he have to spend hours on I-5 with no rest but his wife got stuck wrangling their kids the whole time as well. I genuinely enjoy driving long distance. 3500km trip in 3 days? gently caress yeah. Way better than being a passenger. It's probably a dumb lizard brain thing related to being in control and feeling like you're accomplishing something by just siting there doing nothing. Should've been a trucker, listen to podcasts and rage out to bad 80's metal all day. Uhg, what a lovely snipe.

Andro Dunos posted:My dad was giving me a sob story once about when he was a young man in the 1970s and how he had to work as a plumber's assistant and how he wasn't paid enough. I looked up a chart that adjusted for inflation and back then he was earning the equivalent of $17 an hour. That doesn't even include the fact that education, health care, housing, etc. were all cheaper. You could be in your early 20s working a basic blue collar job and afford to get married and get a house and not worry about student loan debt. How much were avacados back then? Maybe they were the equivalent of $20 each.

Most companies that do offer PTO only allow you to use it within a calendar year, or maybe roll over a fraction that must be used in the first quarter of the following year or you forfeit it. 'You're worthless to me sick, if you get sick you're gone' is the correct translation.

Boomers love blaming media for dumb poo poo. My mother thought the Simpsons were some kind of subversive threat to familial stability. There was a window of time where if I misbehaved (aka talked back) to my mother while she was having her manic episode of the day she'd occasionally say something like 'blah blah blah or there'll be no more Bart Simpson!'.

So it does still happen - but then again, I don’t live in the states. Which country if you don't mind me asking?

The locals have a competition going as to the weirdest thing that’s been dug out of garden that isn’t bricks. (Although in years gone by one guy would pay a penny per 10 bricks to local kids and built himself a cracking wall) One of the identical twins was winning for about 40 years because of the Victorian wheelbarrow, which was restored to fully working order, until a new guy found a small underground room. Was it full of secret nazis or Spanish gold?

Boomers love bitching about problems but straight up refuse to change anything because it's too hard to learn new things. Our treasurer started acting like a petulant little boy when the rest of the board of directors gave up and started ignoring him during the last board meeting. He refuses to let anyone sign off on invoices because he doesn't trust anyone else, and at the same time simply cannot grasp how the bookkeeping software works despite having the role for over a year so needs to be walked through it every. Single. loving. Time. Every week or so he brings our 30yo executive director to tears (literally) by very slowly explaining that he has a problem with the process but flat out refuses to suggest a fix, just grinding her down with the same dialogue every loving time and that 'we need to fix this'. It's a reoccurring theme that he (and his wife) spout off on how things need to be done or improved, don't want to pay anyone to do it, but never volunteer to do anything. Last night he says something like 'we can't afford to pay admin to do this thing that needs to be done!', and the chairman snapped back 'OK, you've volunteered to do it report back at the next meeting' and there was a solid ten seconds of silence before he agreed. And then nobody stood up and clapped but they should have.
