Those are Christians. But boomers are notorious for doing this poo poo. I used to work for a restaurant and ran out the door giving him back his fake money. I asked him if he uses that when the collection plate is passed along and called him an rear end in a top hat.

Thoughts and prayers are not going to pay the bills. Thank god I got a higher education and walked away from that bullshit.

The Boomer would get a free no-name tablet with their recent cell phone upgrade, be automatically signed up for a data plan for it, pay for the plan blindly without notice, and refer to it as an iPad. Then they would ask you to help them download their CDs onto it.

Holy poo poo, I had to do this a couple of weeks ago but I didnt move pictures. I transferred from VCR to a viewable format :wtc:

I had to charge extra because I basically had to get an old VCR out of the basement and use a splitter to "Record" the video as clear as I could.

That's what I love about the whole 'ok, boomer' thing. Lots of them were unironically saying it amounts to hate speech and that ageism is just as bad as racism. All while not realising that they've called younger generations 'snowflakes' for years. They really can't handle some of their own medicine.

It's a big thing around here where I live. Enough to where I do contracts I saw one sign that says to report employees for using the term "Ok Boomer" as insubordination. It gets the biggest :rolleyes: from me because they can't touch me. Tenure beeotch!

I talked about it earlier in the thread but this is legit a thing here in the South. I work in industrial networking so not only am I full time but also contracting (Tenure) work. So I cant get fired unless I do not show up to work for several weeks or something major. But they tried pulling this poo poo on me and there is nothing they can do about it. They can't fire me, and if they get upset and start screaming I can take my little happy rear end home while they are paying me at said home.

So yeah, long story short it does not stop me from saying it nor does it stop me from making notifications on MCT with E-stop = okboomer just for shits and giggles. They can grow the gently caress up for all I care. Oh wait they are

Things my dad did as a boomer to discipline me growing up. I got a couple of these stories so I don't mind sharing.

I was about 10 / 11 and I remember getting so mad at a game I threw the controller down in anger. My father comes in, snatches the controller from the ground and breaks it in front of my eyes. I had to pick up every single fragment of shard broken because of my father found one I would have been beaten. He came back in my room an hour later to examine and found nothing. Told me I was working with him in the morning to pay off the controller. When I worked for two days I got a new one but was immediately shattered again in front of my eyes yet again. "Now buy your own."

He basically taught me not to be mad at videogames and treat it as it only is. A loving videogame. I can be happy, sad, but angry enough to be an idiot and break a controller? That is childish. And it will cost money.

I really, really hope you never spoke to your father again the day you turned 18 after growing up with a monstrous psychopath like that and also talked/are talking this kind of stuff over with a qualified therapist. :staredog:

I'm so glad my parents had fairly standard reactions and punishment to my childhood/teenage outbursts and never abused with me literal torture tactics, which is one of many reasons why I have a pretty great relationship with them as an adult.

No, instead it lead to This E/N success story.. Goons helped pull me through in taking care of my dad who was dying of cancer. He was an rear end in a top hat yes, but he is still my dad and I love him. Hell I guess he did that so he can prepare me for the real world.

Also for those of you who wish for me to seek therapy I am doing better now than I was. Please do not worry about me.

I started college three years ago to study computer networking (Cisco) and he got upset and thought I was becoming a psychologist because my first two classes was college math and Psychology. He just rolled his eyes at me and told me I was wasting my time with it and that the school was trying to get me into studying genders or some poo poo.

For a while my mom or dad, they both pointed at each other, gave my home phone out and told friends to "call my son if you have ANY problems". They said they did it as a way to help me gain a customer base. Ok? I a) have a good paying IT job already and b) when did I say I wanted to start my own business?

So when people called I started telling them, "Ohhh I see what happening! You need to call the 800 number on the side of the box right away!" and all the calls stopped.

I learned really young to nip that poo poo in the bud. Around here if you knew a guy who was able to work on vehicles (Brakes, alignment repairs, etc) you paid for his work. If you knew a girl who would babysit you paid for her. But for IT work? If you know someone in the family its free for them right?

Wrong. I didn't come over to your house to work on your computer. I came over to see you. If you want me to do work you better pay up otherwise you can find somebody else in the family who plays videogames and don't know what they are doing.

E- Oh, and relatives calling me asking me "Is X computer good"? Always gets a laugh out of me.

Yeah I don't mean to be an rear end in a top hat about it. But I was raised if I wanted something fixed I better get ready to pay for it. When I was younger I drove around in a Buick and had some major issues with it. The guy who my dad talked to came out and informed me everything he could do. But without money for the parts and labor I was stuck like chuck.

He was fair for his price and even knocked out around 40 dollars so I could ride again.

But now that people like me grew a spine we're sick of doing IT work for free. gently caress you. Give me your money.

Is Intro Psych/Psych 101/whatever every school calls it still the most-taken class among American undergrads? Cause it's usually a blast to take for that exact reason.

I have got wonderful stories. I do not want to name the college I go to nor the instructor who taught that class. But he was loving hilarious. He is a Pastor at a local church, used to play college basketball, and absolutely loves talking about drugs while sniffing dry markers and pretending to get high.

His method of teaching was absolutely hilarious and I remember he used to get on to the entire class when I was the one laughing my rear end off.

But he did teach us all how to study properly and I remember everyone in the class made an A on the final when it was all said and done.

My partner and I aren't having kids because we're selfish. :shrug:

Oh, and also bringing a kid into this world right now feels just too expensive and the respite I get knowing that the future is grim for our generation is that at least it ends with me in my family line. Unless my brother decides to have/adopt sometime.

If I had a kid my worries for the future would go beyond me and just thinking about that stresses me out

loving SAME. Minus the whole partner count. I mentioned earlier than I was getting a vasectomy and I had the whole talk from my doctor for about an hour about why he felt me thinking that was a bad idea. But I told him if I wanted to get a sex change I could throw down money and have it done no problem. And that there are plenty of loving kids who want a hope who wish to be adopted.

He did convince me to wait a couple months for me to at least 'Think it over" and I told him when the deadline hits I expect him to get the job done. So I at least did that.
