I went to a church youth group thing and they talked about this and played a bunch of "examples" of it. It didn't pass the sniff test for my 9 year old self, but these grown adults honestly believed this warbly nonsense was going to convince us kids to worship satan and smoke marijuana.

Tip posted:

My boomer aunt is super-Christian and obsessed with death. 90% of her Facebook posts are pictures of angel gowns/tuxedos and memory bears that she has sewn.

Angel gowns and tuxedos are little white outfits custom made for your stillborn child. People dress the dead babies up, and take pictures with them. It's horrifying, I can't imagine when I would want to pull out a photo of my dead baby in a tuxedo.

Memory bears are stuffed animals made out of the clothing of a child's dead parent. My aunt takes the dead parent's favorite outfit, and then cuts it up and constructs about 8 bears of varying sizes, and then gives them to the kids. This really seems like the perfect way to traumatize your child and make sure they never get over their parent's death.

Everybody mourns differently. I can't imagine how devastating it would be to have a stillborn child, so it's kind of unreasonable to pass judgment on how parents might cope.

Usually people have photos of a loved one before they pass away, but this isn't the case for a stillbirth. People get sentimental about other people who have died imagine that?

Boomers like being the last generation to be embalmed with cytotoxic chemicals before being buried in the ground upon death. Or even being buried.

Does anyone even realise how much phosphorus is in an adult human? It's almost criminal that it goes to waste. And that's after the organ harvesters and a tissue guys and even the first-year anatomy students get a turn at the corpse. The entire country of Morocco is being dug out by sulfuric acid just to make fertiliser because human beings are too squeamish to recycle remains.

Ridiculous financial biases and tax dodges are nothing compared to the mineral resources these selfish fuckers are hogging.

Really, it is only a matter of time now before being minced and chucked into a biodigester is the proper thing to do.

No, you don't get to be wrapped in a linen shroud and have a tree planted over you. It's the grinder and then food crops.

But we can’t all of a sudden get down our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of the Blacks. I believe in white supremacy until the Blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgement to irresponsible people.”

Going to a casino and quickly pissing away 100's of dollars at a video slot or poker machine and playing nothing else. Not knowing when to stop even after a decent win and losing all of their winnings. Leaving having lost all or almost all of everything they initially spent. Doing this frequently.

I remember being excited when I turned 21 and could go to our local casino, only to get in and find out it's literally all depressed old people and nothing like casinos in movies.

I realize that this is more of an old people thing than a boomer thing, but I feel like younger generations aren't going to be doing this because they didn't spend their whole lives with disposable income.

There's a local community radio station, so mostly volunteer DJs playing stuff they like. The weekend and evening music is usually good, but from 1-5pm they play the same lovely blues music, cause it's what the boomers listen to (or not, they're hemorrhaging money). They keep doing surveys and events to get younger listeners, but drive time is nothing but boomer jackoff hours.

lmao yeah, except it's not even $8, its $7.25 federally, and you can legally be paid $2.13 / hour in almost all the dying flyover n southern states.

imagine being paid $2.13 an hour lol, or even $7.25 is a joke.

fortunately is the best state and minimum wage is like $11 (state) to $15 (bay area), and there's no tip exemption, so you can be making $15/hr as a tipped employee and then an extra $5 - $30+ an hr on-top of that via tips (depending on the place).

“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

Man goes to Shrimpstress, says he's so hungry, he just wants a down home themed restaurant chain experience. Says life has lost its luster, everything is too spicy and too much sprouty green stuff clogging his entrees. Shrimpstress tells man, go to Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. Promotion on 2 pounds peel and eat shrimp. Forrest Gump on permanent loop on 15 monitors. Great deal, buckets of shrimp.

But MISTER, the man sobs to the Shrimpstress, I'm allergic to shrimp!

I am willing to accept the idea that western Massachusetts has Midwestern properties.

Mostly because that area is too far from Boston/the coast to have real New Englandness.
Too south of the mountains to be a strange hippie reserve like Vermont.
And too far from NYC to be Tri-State like most of CT is.

It's just kind of this sad purposeless place full of meth and white people.
Red Sox Midwest.

To steer back on topic, Cape Cod is currently one of the most Boomer places I've ever visited.
I hadn't been there since I was a teen until last summer. And my god you can hear the radio stations age up like thirty years the closer you get on the drive over.
To say nothing of anything black or latino getting strained out on the way.

It's like the local Boomer version of Florida now.

Seriously.

There is a MacDonald’s that I’ll sometimes breakdown and go to and there always seems to be an angry Boomer waiting for their food (next to other people doing the same patiently).

One time I watched a grown man have a temper tantrum and walk out because his coffee didn’t come out quickly enough- he stormed out yelling “*unintelligible*... and some of us HAVE TO WORK!” and it was super ineffective because none of the staff cared and most of the customers just looked confused.

Another time at the same place the cashier motioned for me to order even though there was a woman at the cash. I went over and started to order but the woman interrupted me to say some angry things at the cashier, who looked like she was ready to cry or quit. The cashier ignored her and asked for my order, so I gave it to her while speaking above the angry boomer.

It was really weird and I felt bad for the cashier. My province has an older population so this poo poo is only going to get worse, as well as older people driving on our anciently designed highways and crashing, killing van loads of younger families.

There is another set of Boomers that will buy this poo poo from you for one lump sum and then mark it up 500% to sell at "antique shows". Like I know of services that if your relative dies, they will buy the house and all its contents with cash and proceed to "American Picker" the poo poo out of everything.
