Boomer Hate Thread

[Hallucinogenic Penguin]

Perfect tbh microcosm of everything that horrible generation did over the years

“I, Gerald Mcboomerton, of sound mind and body, on this date of April 29, 2035, hereby declare that my 3.5 million investment portfolio and 3,500 square foot house, be given to Sanjay Saar Mcstreetshitterupta and his family of 18.

My two kids aren’t worthy to be entitled to my earthly possessions compared to these new Americans who have the heart and spirit of my hard working immigrant grandparents. One of them, my son, somehow got 15 acres and a 2,500 square foot house in Texas despite the fact he hasn’t worked in 6 years and does meth. Must be a more generous member of my generation, eh?

My daughter meanwhile works 60 hours a week, and makes 50 grand a year, yet somehow hasn’t bought a house yet after working 25 years. When I was her age and first started working, I had a home in a good neighborhood, weekend cruise car, and was about to buy a vacation home on the lake in 5 years! She must be throwing her money away! That is why I am not giving her a single cent! She just has this crummy thing she calls an apartment. Damn kids…


I hope my earthly possessions come in good time to Mr. Mcstreetshitterupta and his family. It is now I embark to the upscale retirement community of Shady Oaks. I heard the bingo there is out of this world!”

^This is going to be the final wills of at least 3/4 of all boomers, left wing or right wing.

Those rubbing their hands together and saving up for the Post Doomer Death Housing Price Crash so they can actually get a decent home and land are going to be sorely disappointed when they get out bid by a pack of 20 jeets pulling their resources together or move in and the neighbors are meth heads living in McMansion next door.

I’ve said it before but all these “picturesque” boomertopia areas of Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Arizona are going to be ghost towns at best or unsafe shitholes run amok with drug rats and illegals at worst in the next 15-20 years.

I'll be the heretic here. I prefer office mandated work. Promotions and networking are, in practice, handled via a buddy system. The 30 minute on site coffee breaks are more valuable for your career progression than months of trying to learn a new skill. Learn to schmooze at the workplace or find yourself first to be fired.

Drug addicts.

This reminds me of during the heyday of wokeness where boomer executives boomerishly declared that whites need to atone and acknowledge their privilege…and proceeded to yank the ladder up. They focused on quota-based hiring and donated to corrupt charities while laying people off and slashing maintenance budgets to the bone to the point where we saw spikes in train derails, building fires and explosions, and shit just falling apart. Decades old businesses going to shit where it gets sold and assets get chopped up and sold off. Boomer executives cashed out making millions but numerous communities and industries are now decimated. But a boomer got to feel good about themselves, righting social injustices.

Part of boomer town infrastructure is churches popping up…everywhere.


Ok…so just how much of the boomers attending church actually do so because they enjoy it versus them attending because they feel guilty for things they did back when they were younger?

I think it's more so that they think being a regular attendee and "involved" is all you need to count as a good Christian.

It's also an easy way to socialize for those among them who are lonely.

Also...fear of death probably. I mean no body likes thinking too much on their own mortality but older generations seem to have a pathological aversion. It's why people hate saying "she died" and will instead say gay shit like "she passed".

Ugly goyslop churches or actual architectural beauties? Because if they had the same number of kids as churchgoers usually do, then they wouldn't need to import so many beanerinos to keep their overly generous social security checks stable.

Also I'm being dragged to a No Kings protest with some boomers and I can't say no, I can't leave them to tell off other boomers, I can't say hi to the friendly counterprotestors. They're protesting the best part of Donald Trump's presidency; punishing shitlibs.

It's amazing how people pretend this isn't the case on both sides of things. Women are caught up in household stuff being such demanding labor!!! And the guys are so gunshy about doing basic easy chores that would take no time especially as a single person that they try to get a dependent who can easily decide to sperg out and fuck up their entire life by being retarded instead of buying a dishwashing machine.

It's amazing you frame up dishes and laundry as the alpha and omega of keeping a house in order and actually clean. Call me when you've vacuumed your walls or gone over every ogee and angle on floor, jamb, and ceiling moulding by hand, or flitzed or descaled your fixtures, or handwashed screens and in-/ outside windows. I'll assume you don't have sterling requiring maintenance and polishing, or a hood vent requiring degreasing, or marble & granite requiring cleaning, disinfecting, polishing, sealing, and regrouting periodically, or clothes and other fabrics requiring starching or ironing. No scuffs or dings requiring buffing, spackling, or repainting; no hardwood flooring requiring sweeping, vacuuming,mopping, and polishing; no furniture or other surfaces requiring dusting, conditioning, or polishing; no light bulbs in lamps, ceiling lights, fixtures, or outdoors requiring replacement; no screws or hinges ever requiring adjustment; no oven or rangetop requiring periodic deep cleaning; no carpets requiring shampooing or steam cleaning; no textiles requiring dusting, vacuuming, deep cleaning, or repair; no porch or patio or exterior windows requiring de-cobwebbing, cleaning, repair, or repainting; no clutter decisioning or organizing or storing; no supply replacement; no stain removal (or replacement if removal fails); etc.

And of course I've omitted anything to do with appliance maintenance, cleaning the surfaces in the garage, garage and outdoor organization and maintenance, home exterior maintenance and repair, gardens & hardscape maintenance, additions, or improvement, or anything whatsoever to do with children or pets. Or unforeseen nightmares like mainline breakdowns or backups, pipe leaks, random electrical shorts, broken appliances, or random acts of God (weather, creature invasion, etc.). And I certainly haven't included such things as pantry/ frig stocking, meal planning & preparation, or wholesome frills such as fresh, hot meals, breadbaking, and homemade treats & sweets.

Sure, quality modern home maintenance and management is like 3 minutes/ day.

If you're really good at networking you don't need to be in-person. That said, when the majority of work is in-office, I agree being live & in-person does make a positive difference. I've resisted the back-to-office thing (futile resistance, as my overlords agree with Dimon), but even though way more than half of my daily interactions are still via camera bc we are spread out across multiple time zones, there is something very nice (& useful) about about casual in-person interaction. Yes, I've bent the knee so am making lemonade.

call me when you've replaced the drywall, installed the door & molding, wired the light fixtures, installed the screens & windows, installed the hood vent, lifted, transported, & installed the granite countertop, painted the whole wall, ripped out the carpet, removed the previous flooring, installed the hardwood flooring, moved the oven & refrigerator from the truck into the kitchen, connected the natural gas to said oven, built the porch, and worked long enough to make enough money to buy the materials needed for all of this

You don't do that spring cleaning shit every day. Not everyone has marble counter tops and if they do and think they're a pain to upkeep they have the option of choosing differently.

You can go the extra mile and then some if you want. My point still stands.

Ring, ring, bitch.

And call me when you've built a bluestone patio and 50 feet of bluestone paths, and installed a retaining wall by yourself. I mean, really, if you want to play bsd, we can, but that wasn't the topic.

But we were talking about "housework" and general maintenance not every possible thing one night do to handle a home.

Don't confuse examples for principles.

My point is that good care of a home requires more than 20 minutes a day, that's all.

that's great

You can be house proud if you want my point is that a normal cleaning once a week or so doesn't take that long and other than that daily it's basic stuff like putting dishes in the dish washer and putting your laundry in the hamper. Most people do not live in apartments/houses with crown molding, marble countertops, sterling silverware that needs polished, natural hardwood floors, etc. and just the basics will do for them. Quite frankly your examples are ludicrous because if someone does have a house like that they're pretty much guaranteed to also be the type of person who pays someone else to clean it. I've worked before as a professional cleaner, I'm not ignorant about this stuff. Anything more hardcore can be done once a month or split the "extras" up so it's not one huge day of cleaning.

I would prefer this but I'm currently struggling with packs of retards backing each other up as they torpedo my favorite company to take contracts from. Kinda sucks.

"Not technically a boomer" yeah but this is some of the most boomer-coded bullshit I've seen in awhile. Hackman did it. Goldblum said the same shit. It's rampant. I understand the hate for Nepo-Babies (and in that specific instance they're right about having to "earn it") but that should only apply if your kid is going/wanting to go into the same field as you. If not, then this just comes off as you hating them for not doing so imo.

As more and more actual Boom booms die off, "Boomer" is gonna become more and more of a mindset than anything else.

 

[Friend of Dorothy Parker]

that's great

Mock all you want. My only failure is not planning the underlayer so that moss grows evenly between the stones on the patio bc half is nicely shady and stays reasonably moist, and half gets blasted by sun. Poor planning on the underlayer, but short of redoing the thing, I'm stuck with it. Annoying af & lesson learned.

Quite frankly your examples are ludicrous because if someone does have a house like that they're pretty much guaranteed to also be the type of person who pays someone else to clean it.

You presume to tell me about my life? Sir/ madam, no. And fwiw, I've had a cleaner before (and miss having that but priorities shift), and they do the semi-regular good cleaning, not the deep dive (my cleaner spent a full day every 2 weeks (average; it varied through time) doing the basic stuff, which ofc required me to make sure there was nothing in the way of their work, and they did nothing beyond the basic clean/ vacuum/ dust/ polish & make beds and minor tidying); laundry, most dishes, deep and seasonal cleaning, all the textiles, and all the other things I mentioned were not part of the program. And I was occasionally around when they were working; other than a constant phone conversation in Ukranian (or before that, in brogue) while working they were doing nothing but cleaning - and working up a visible sweat doing it. If you have someone polishing silver and taking a toothbrush to lime deposits on nickel fixtures or regrouting tile, or issue-spotting and addressing nascent problems, you've got a full-time maid/ caretaker, not a cleaning service.

my point is that a normal cleaning once a week or so doesn't take that long and other than that daily it's basic stuff like putting dishes in the dish washer and putting your laundry in the hamper.

But the context was the assertion that in modern life automation/ modern appliances have rendered ft home management a joke. I will 100% agree that mere super-basic cleaning of a home is not a constant 60 hour/ week endeavor, but it's also not a 20-minute sweep of superficial cleaning - not if you want real clean or to preserve an asset.

And even if basic passable cleaning in an apartment is 10 or 20 or 30 minutes/ day on average, that's not close to what is required for a moderately clean home over time, and you still have to factor into the average the periodic 5 or 8 or 20 or whatever hours for the beyond-surface efforts or special or unexpected projects.

When I was growing up, my mother was for the most part a ft homemaker. Yes, we always had a dishwasher and w/d, because we live in a first world country and those are basic for the last 60 years. And she was BUSY all day long - even without silver and marble, etc. Cleaning, cooking, baking, provisioning, laundry, ironing,

If your vision of "homemaker" is a swipe across a counter now and then and a laundry basket of wrinkles waiting for you after you pick up takeout dinner, then sure. But if people are interested in property and caring for it, living in a comfortable and clean environment, having good food to eat and/ or handling kids and their needs, and/ or everyone having clean, pressed/ de-wrinkled, and folded or hung clothes and linens available most of the time, then it's way different than that. And that's whether it's one person mostly solo, two people splitting in various ways, hired help, or a combination, that's what it takes to handle a home. Ymmv if you like living in filth and looking raggedy.

Treating your kids differently in that way will fuck them up. You can make them earn things like expecting them to get a job to pay for fun extras so it teaches them to manage their own money but forcing them to be in a different class than you while traveling is pathological IMO. Rather than just buying things because you have the money tie those things to rewards for doing well in school like any other normal family does or only take them shopping if it's their birthday. But these types of parents make this weird performance out of punishing their children for being born into a successful family are weird AF.

This is 100% why a lot of nepo babies have the issues they do. Because rather than just going by the same basic tenets that have underscored all good parenting they do weird shit like this.

Nothing says “thanks, dad!” like family values where no help is given. Yeah, don’t try to make your kids’ lives better with opportunities you never had. Just throw them in “the real world” from your selfishness.

Oh, and he’s a boomercrat and a taunter when asked for autographs. Ironic that he’s known for being an oversized elf in the aptly named Christmas movie.

That's one of the reasons I left the field I studied for. Even before covid, nearly all the job offers I got were home-office only, as they did not have a workplace for me. Maybe that was a symptom of already skyrocketing prices of houses, they couldn't afford rent and heating of bigger places.
Like, how I was supposed to get connections, advice from more experienced people, gain experience myself and ask them about the project details, when I had to sit alone at home?
But on the other hand, I am talking from the view of someone who can get anywhere in the city in 15-45 minutes by a tram or on a bike and run errands on the way home.
