Some are probably tempted to believe that boomers' unwillingness to learn new things is common to all old people, but I've known boomers' parents and none of them were nearly as recalcitrant as their boomer brats.
Agreed, my experience with Silent gen was completely different. They were a bit too old to really experience tech that I have, but I never dealt with one with the extreme helplessness that boomers often have.

Now that I think about it, both my parents and various relatives had this unwillingness to learn and adapt when they were younger than I am now. But none of my relatives close to my Gen X/Millennial age are like this, and a lot of them are white trash retards.

It's something with that boomer generation.
 
I've noticed how one repeating problem I seem to be having with boomer-aged folks is that when they have problems they don't want to try and solve them themselves, even if the step takes mere seconds. I've repeatedly been dealing with a boomer family member I'm living with have "tech problems" that are as simple as:
  • Flipping over the USB to plug it in the right way
  • Copying and printing, when I've already written a list to refer back to on how to do those tasks- they don't have the patience to read the guide
  • Changing channels on the remote, the remote has been the same for ~10 years
I hate being boomer tech support. I have to do it in ways that are outside of my family too. I know it doesn't apply to all boomers, but what do you guys think brings on this unwillingness to experiment and learn or taking the time to think?
I've worked in tech my entire career, and for all those years I have failed to teach my boomer mother how to drag and drop a document to a flash drive.
 
The only presidents to have officially been impeached throughout history have been Andrew Jackson, Bill Clinton, and Trump for retard reasons.
It was Andrew Johnson, not Jackson.
Flipping over the USB to plug it in the right way
This one is infuriating to me. My late uncle, who died after he decided to start smoking crack in his 60s, had a smart phone. It charged with a micro USB port. One day he complained that all of the sudden it didn't charge anymore and he didn't know why. He had completely fucking reamed the charging port the fuck out with hulk strength instead of looking at it and turning the cable over. It was not even recognizable as a USB port.
 
This guy knows ball. Kennedy absolutely cheated using his mob connections. Nixon was one of the greatest patriots this country has ever seen and it’s a shame boomers always rely on “but Nixon was impeached because of watergate” whenever Nixon is brought up.

Fact: He was never impeached. He was about to be but he resigned before the vote could happen. Tell a boomer that next time they bring it up. The only presidents to have officially been impeached throughout history have been Andrew Jackson, Bill Clinton, and Trump for retard reasons.

Also, why were they trying to impeach Nixon? If a boomer says “because of watergate”, they’re a retard. He was about to be impeached because of “lying to Congress and withholding his presidential tapes” which are his sovereign right to keep secret due to executive privilege. Watergate played into it but they were trying to use weasel words and slimy political maneuvers to get Nixon.
Also, if a boomer hates Nixon, I automatically assume they’re a retard. The Nixon administration was so based.
Wasn't Nixon also hated because he took us off of the Bretton Woods "gold standard" system? Many boomers point at this as the start of the decline of the middle class in america.
 
Rule 11, Be nice to nerds, chances are you'll end up working for some
I'm sorry I hate Indians but God at the same time I love how the IT manchildren aren't so smug anymore now that the stinkies are taking their trillion euro/month fake jobs. Geeks just aren't hated enough. I think it was the Millenials who really started the geek worship though?

What would he tell people who have applied to hundreds of jobs without successfully obtaining one?
That they should've just walked into the office with a printed CV in hand?
 
Are HOA's considered boomer-adjacent? I was watching videos on the horrors of HOAs and realized most of the ones on the committees are boomers.
See:

Not all HOAs are majority Boomers, but you will always find Boomers in a HOA.

Reminder leftwing and rightwing baby boomers exploit Jeet bot on Facebook. In groups of 20 or 30. No matter the webpage or Facebook group. The tactic remain the same.
 
You mean nerds like Bill Gates who become elitist snobs that think they were born to rule over the rest of us?
Nerds like Mark Zuckerberg who spent the better part of 10 years literally LARPing as a Roman emperor.

Nerds like Bill Gates who got an STD from hanging around with Jeff Epstein and then gave it to his ex-wife.

Nerds like Jeff Bezos who might actually be dying of syphilis right now from the throngs of LA whores he slept with behind his ex-wife's back.

Or finally, street-shitting nerds like Satya Adella who literally picked up the entire American tech industry and walked away with it to another country and nobody stopped any of it. The Boomers sat there for 20 years staring at their 401(k) balances and clapped like seals the whole time.
 

While I do not care for Sam's Christian grift, listening to this guest was pretty funny. Dude was asked five year old level questions by jungle savages and that was enough to shake up his entire belief system. :lol: I don't know what it is with boomers and being one shot by these sort of things.
This is something I have noticed for a while, like during BLM, you had boomers crying tears of shame as black dudes reprimanded them for being racist N shiieet. Or there's this one video I saw ages ago where there is a room of women in some office setting, and the one brown chick is talking some bullshit about racism and all the dumb, old White women are like "Oh, my! I never knew I was being so racist! Even in subtle ways!"

Its not your fault. Remember that Boomers.
This reminds me of one of the most infuriating examples of Catfished that has lived in my head for a while:

The real victims of these scams are usually the family these people have. I don't feel sorry for the targets themselves watching a lot of these because it's clear it's all just a narcissistic sort of fantasy for them a lot of the time. Especially with older ladies IMO.

She also has fifteen cats lmao
 
My grandpa used to work for the government. One of the stories he told me was that he was trolling around in his government vehicle with his partner outside Vegas, I think. It was the middle of the election. He pulls over a person of interest and opens the trunk to find bags and bags of counterfeit ballots filled out entirely for JFK. He gets to a phone and calls the offices of Nixon’s campaign.

Eventually he somehow gets up the line to talking with Nixon himself on the phone. He tells Nixon what he found and asked if he should blow the lid on it and report it in. Nixon tells him to not worry about it and that he’s not the first one to find such stuff.

I’ll have to get confirmation on the story because it’s been 15 years since I heard it and I’m sure to be misremembering a few details. But among the stories told to me, my grandma and grandpa got to have dinner with Nixon at the whitehouse for services rendered. Can’t PL too much. I’ll report back if I need to correct anything.

Also, if a boomer hates Nixon, I automatically assume they’re a retard. The Nixon administration was so based.

Did your grandfather own a shrimping boat in memory of simple black man?

How difficult was his run across America?

What made him so dang good at ping pong?
 
The fuck did Chuck Norris do? Other than be everything boomers pretend they are.

If I remember, he just said some off kilter stuff that a lot of losers these days obviously took issue with, so that means he's a horrible monster who deserved to die, obviously.
He was a devout Christian and a staunch conservative. So, of course, he should not be mourned.

Fellow boomer haters on this thread, what do you make of this advice written by boomer Charles J. Sykes?


  • RULE 1......Life is not fair, get used to it.
Coming out the gate with a dismissive broad-stroke accusatory statement. It's emotionally immature and psychotic to dismiss someone voicing their frustrations on unfairness and unjust things with an out-of-hand dismissal instead of empathy and understanding. Furthermore, get used to it is bullshit. And it's not even something boomers believe. Look at the anti-vietnam protests, Boomers didn't "get used" to college students getting deferrals from the draft (the eponymous 'fortunate son').

So, rule 1 is typical narcissistic boomer "DON'T TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS, I DON'T CARE".


  • RULE 2......The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Psychotic narcissistic grandiosity that is making the claim that if you don't "accomplish" something (undoubtedly materialistic in nature), you should feel bad and have no self-esteem. Psychotic. Self-esteem should be an intrinsic baseline you can fall back on even if you stumble. Also, phrasing it as "The world" is strange and retarded. "The world" is not a monoculture and neither are people. What some would view as an accomplishment, others would think nothing of it or even think negatively of it. Very narrow minded.

  • RULE 3......You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.

Sounds like a narcissistic parent who has done nothing to prepare their child for success, and is toying with their flaccid cock at the thought of kicking their child at 18 with no support so they can revel in their superior station in life to their own child, if I try to read behind the lines.

Also, it's another untruth. The child of a Wall Street trader or a doctor or lawyer will absolutely walz into a summer job where they clear major bank. Same for children of parents who own successful businesses. I guess if I take this line as a direct statement from the author to me, his theoretical child, I guess it's true, but it's not a universal rule at all.
  • RULE 4......If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.

More boomer lies and grandiosity, coupled with "DON'T TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS" + "OH, YOU THINK YOU HAVE IT BAD?!"

Teachers are worse than bosses, as someone who has dealt with shit & good ones of both. Teachers can be tyrants that are just arbitrarily cruel to you, to degrees a boss can't and would never be due to the risk of a lawsuit and the fact that they're paying you even if he's being a raging cunt. If a teacher is doing an absolute shit job and is abusing you, you can't even fall back on "well, still got paid".

  • RULE 5......Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.
My grandparents didn't flip burgers. They learned trades and started their own business. A "flipping burgers" job is something that should only be done out of necessity because it can't be built upon, gives you no meaningful connections or skills, all for a minimal subsistence paycheck at best.

Parents that love you and aren't narcissistic monsters will usually advise against trying to balance a shit-job while pursuing higher education if they think it'll detract from your studies and efforts towards an actual career.

But this all ties into the "YOU'RE OUT OF HERE AT 18 AND YOU AIN'T GETTING A DIME!" blowhardedness that permeates this whole thing, so this is just them absolving themselves of wrongdoing by claiming that making you have to work shit-tier jobs out of necessity is actually a good thing.

  • RULE 6......If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Comical. It is the parents fault. Maybe not intentionally, but it's the parent's job to teach you how to behave, how to cope, how to act, how to be a complete person. To prepare you for life. It's a common cry of narcissistic fuck-up parents to claim it was all the shitty kids fault, not them!

What kind of psychotic parent is more concerned with absolving blame on themselves than actually addressing the issues of the child?

It's narc reactivity. To acknowledge the shortcomings of your parents, or the abuses you may have suffered in childhood isn't "whining", you self-righteous faggot. To unfuck yourself you have to figure out what went wrong and what's missing. And to do so, you need to inventory all the fucked up abuses and let-downs you experienced as an innocent child who literally had no agency over the situations you found yourself in.

Typical Narc-y boomer parent "DON'T YOU BLAME THIS ON ME, IT WAS YOUR FAULT YOU WERE A SHITTY KID!"

  • RULE 7......Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try "delousing" the closet in your own room.

Lmao comically narc-y boomer wanting to be acknowledged as "cool", and feeling threatened by the kids "WELL YOU'RE NOT SO FUCKING COOL YOU STUPID KID!!! YOUR CLOSET IS DISGUSTING!!!"

Boomers that want the younger generation to acknowledge them as "cool" is comically narcissistic and delusional.

Also the statement is untrue. People that are intelligent and curious and interesting don't get lobotomized when they have children. This whole statement just feels like the author was trying to hold forth on some shit he thought was "cool", and he didn't get the praise and acknowledgement he craved, while making no efforts to engage with the younger generation on the shit they find interesting.

  • RULE 8......Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

More boomer narcissism. Claiming there is an objective "winners" and "losers" scale in life. Is a monk who lives a quiet life at peace with his god, doing small but meaningful work in a monastery a "loser" and a stock broker who does cocaine daily and is cheating on his wife and barely sees his kids a winner? Or is it the reverse? What social, emotional, material, or spiritual tokens do you use to define a "winner" or a "loser"? Because whatever he says, it's not a universal rule and will differ by culture and by person.

Also, no school did away with "winners" and "losers". They gave token symbols of accomplishment to kids who had the wherewithal to show up and try, instead of not even showing up, regardless of the outcome. You know what that builds? Grit. And Grit is actually what determines success. The people that succeed at their pursuits are the ones who keep showing up and don't quit, no matter who many times they fail.

His stupid fucking paragraph argues against grit, basically, because to the narcissistic boomer, it's better to not show up and compete if you're not going to win. Better to not try at all.

  • RULE 9......Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

Lmao yet more talking down to a child. Sorry, faggot, lots of jobs are seasonal or shift-like in nature. Yet again this is more Boomer coding for "YOU'RE OUT OF HERE AT 18 AND I'M NOT PAYING ANY OF YOUR BILLS!!!!"

Life is very much divided into semesters. In any job there are times you can slack, times you need to crunch. Even in your seasons of life there are times when it's busy and times when you have the energy to pursue interests or objectives.


  • RULE 10.....Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Lol random boomer rant against the show "Friends", seemingly. Just enraged that people on TV don't look miserable like HIM because HE has to GO TO WORK and HIS BOSS DOESN'T HAVE TENURE!

Typical Boomer narc grandiosity where he's belittling the intelligence of the reader by making statements on beliefs that you very well might not have but phrased like you automatically do.

Also, lack of theory of mind by expressing anger that TV isn't just an accurate depiction of his own shit-life he hates, because to him everything is centered and focused on him and him alone.
  • RULE 11.....Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
This just harkens back to both Rule 7 and Rule 4. This guy is a fucking dork and his entire life is his job he hates where he's terrified of his boss and abuses his petty authority over his underlings and children whenever possible. This rule is both "be nice to the avatar of ME" and also a coded "I will be in a position of authority over you!!"




In summary, this whole list is basically just "I HATE MY LIFE, DON'T TELL ME YOUR PROBLEMS AND GET AWAY FROM ME AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!"
 
Self-esteem should be an intrinsic baseline you can fall back on even if you stumble.

This is probably true in some sense but the only people I've ever even heard dwell on "self esteem" are boomers. I think it partially stems from the mass marketing of self esteem and self help books in the 1970s and 1980s and women's daytime television (e.g. Oprah) from around the same time that focused on similar pop psychology bullshit. I know millenials have fixated on their own pop psych bullshit but the navel-gazing self esteem bullshit is solidly coded boomer. He should be scolding his own generation if he feels the need to fingerwag about emotional fragility.

Boomers that want the younger generation to acknowledge them as "cool" is comically narcissistic and delusional.

This was probably the strangest entry to me. Has anyone met an adult who seriously ruminates on the coolness of their parents (or their parents' generation)?

Everyone: "For the sake of future generations, please don't descend upon the economy like ravenous locust."
Boomers: "Oh!? What!? We're not cool enough for you because we're not jetskiing over waterfalls and bungee jumping out of the International Space Station!?"
Everyone: ":cringe:...? "

It's the sort of defensive, deflecting non sequitur I've come to expect from boomers who know there's no real defense for their trash habits and attitudes.

People that are intelligent and curious and interesting don't get lobotomized when they have children.

Sadly, people who were stupid, vicious and incurious before children don't improve after having children either.
