Boomer Hate Thread

Typical starting BS engineer wages in the US (for non-retard degrees in non-retard locations) are about $75k/year. It varies a bit depending on the field, employer, and location but ~$75k is a good estimate. 10 years ago I would have told you $60k.

Consider as well, for comparison, that the wages I'm quoting are in CAD. 55kCAD is 40kUSD.

Lmao, that's actually lower than the average wages at Walmart. You can get $15/hr at almost any random US Walmart with no education or skill and have room for promotions.

Yep, and they want to pay that for an engineer with a degree in the second most expensive city in the country (at least last I checked Vancouver was still more). Even the job I'm currently interviewing for barely pays more than that, but at least it's remote so I can stay in my shithole town on shithole prices while I rebuild my savings if I get it. I would do basically anything to have a US citizenship at this point.
 
Their right to "be free" doesn't trump someone else's right to exist without fear of sudden traffic death due to olds being free

I've been watching old industrial videos from some stock video-channel just buying up and digitizing celluloid. They might have titles like:
Basic filing (1954)
Common handtools (1948)
and so on.

These videos are extremely concise, clear and would have been extremely useful as a beginner. Pull the file this way not that way choose this file over this file. They are also beautifully but simply animated.

This is what the boomers got taught.

What the boomers teach:

-Don't do it like that! You'll ruin the file.
-Stop sawing crooked you need to let the saw guide it self.
-What the hell are you doing you're going to ruin it. Don't you know anything?
-I'll do it myself.

I used to think that maybe they were so experienced that they had forgotten all the basics and maybe they were self thought so they never had any theory about what their hands were doing. Turns out its something else behind their retarded behavior.

Any ideas?

It's the Second Axiom again. "In the Boomer mind all life is a game" you are their competition, they aren't trying to teach you, they are trying to mog you for not knowing as much as them.

It's especially frustrating when you consider that in a lot of first world countries, old people can travel on public transport for free, but no, they'd rather put everyone else's lives at risk.

I fucking HATE how old people constantly stay in the fucking way. I get that they're gonna move slow, old bones, can't drive, whatever, that's fine. But for fuck's sake at least acknowledge that and be fuckin polite and get out of the way.

I go into the grocery store, they've got a little entrance area with sliding doors, and there's an old couple, they're walking slow as I come up behind them. Okay, it's all of 15 feet, who cares. I slow down behind them, but of course, they gotta walk side by side for MAXIMUM stoppage, so that no one can fit by them without doing a swim move. Bout halfway through, here comes more people behind me, all of us waiting on these people. It's kind of amusing, we're all shuffling at the speed of this old bitch, rural politeness doctrine dictates that we don't shove old people out of the way. We finally get through, but then STOP, hold on, they've got a bunch of premade cookies and pies; and hoo doggy, we gotta look at em all just in case there's a sale! I had to say 'excuse me, can i get through' twice to get the old guy to at least move the stupid cart, and they look at me and the three people behind me like we're the assholes. Dude, I just had a week of work, I wanna go home. Fuck.

Note: there should be a minimum walking speed limit. If you're not going at least 3mph cops should legally be allowed to Rodney King you.

UPDATE: This happened again last night. Same store, different old people. This time going out instead of in.

I'm not even mad anymore. I'm just intensely curious; what is it about those shitty, dry premade baked goods that draws them in like a tractor beam? It's just on a table in clear packages, you can very easily check it out walking by, and there's plenty of room to the side. But they see it, and freeze, right there in the middle of the walkway.

They're putting something in those cookies man. Something that's triggering a primal response from old people, it sucks them in and leaves them unable to move. It can't just be a scone marked down 5%. There's some kind of deeper force at play, and I need to know what it is.

Why do zoomers need to own a home?
They will end up divorced anyway, it's a generation of 3 second attention span "I must have it now" narcissistic retards.

Fuck anyone under 35 tbh.

Enjoy your lives people! Make sure to save and invest!

I have no idea if this is sarcasm or genuine retardation.
 
The boomers in my life are also up to boomerish shenaningans, some expected, and some pretty out there.

A lot of Boomers I know have weird complexes about food and attribute them to living their childhoods in a farm. As a city slick, I never pegged rural=borne people to be such faggots? Things like never eating pork, except bacon.

Another thing is on the subject of downsizing; when asked, their plans rarely make sense (if they even have any).

Things I've heard:
- Selling the house on a acreage to buy a new acreage to somehow build a new house (they hate yardwork btw)
- Downsized house needs to have a BIGGER space for the hobbies they already ignore
- Not downsizing until they sell the house for MILLIONS (that is not gonna happen)
- Not downsizing because what if 6+ people come visit and want to stay over?
- Downsizing to a farm (????)

One of my boomer family members was bitching about how in their neighborhood (upper middle class 4-5 bedroom homes around a small lake in a 100k person city) doesn't have kids anymore. When the lake freezes they don't see skaters anymore. He said it was very sad and didn't know what was going on. Sometimes you just want to slap them.

20 something zoomer buying a house is a stupid mistake you'll regret when you're 30 and divorced. You should be renting. Work to live, don't live to work. Commit to a house when you commit to having a family. Did your grandparents or parents buy that young?

I'm beginning to suspect boomers are going through some kind of farmcore trend amongst themselves right now or something. I've got a rich oldhead boomer unc who also in the last 6 months suddenly started talking about buying a farm. Fucker grew up in the middle of south philadelphia and doesn't know a tractor from his own ass & spent the last 40 years hiring juan and pablo to cut his suburban lawn for him, but now suddenly wants to be a farmer? The fuck?

Their pop music was definitely better buts that's because modern pop is just percussive sounds made in a computer program and someone's autotuned vocal fry, and is all that seems to be produced these days. Really not hard to beat that.

I ain't even mad anymore. It's easy money so works as a business model and tards who listen to mainstream radio to get their music get what they deserve. Most people I think just use YT with ad blockers or some other streaming site and if they really want to download it from there to keep.

Maybe that's why music sucks so bad sometimes. Because only the most normie slop types are even bothering to tune in when everyone else can just immediately look up exactly what they want when they want it.

Music is better than ever it's just that clear channel and payola pissed in the mainstream and then the mainstream disintegrated. There is so much great unnoticed music nowadays but there is no sure way for it to find its way to the mainstream.

The mainstream is mostly worse than ever but you can find some niche bands that kick the shit out of the top 20's for the last 40 years. There is so much skill and dedication out there but it's very difficult for it to get massively popular.

Boomers watch tv and hang out on facebook.

Millennials fuck around on instagram and reddit.

Zoomers do tiktok and discord.

Alphas are probably getting pedophiled on roblox.

There are no more subcultures since what emos? Fashion just recycles endlessly slipping from 70's to the 2000's without anything new ever getting invented, Just endless recycling of what was before. Trends are shorter than ever and they never amount to anything.

It's the same with movies and television. Noone does anything new just endless recycling with a short horizon

I specifically designated pop music. Pop music isn't niche. It's supposed to be mainstream, but the older equivalent is better than what is put out today. That's what I was saying.
