Tbh I almost hate scam victims more than the jeets and Niggerians who rip them off. Fuck you. I've repeatedly tried to save these idiots and they resent you for it. Even after they lose all their money and realize you were right, they're still more mad at you than they are at the people who stole their money.
Hence the way Boomers behave, since many had no desire to be parents or engage in parenting.
True in many cases but there is a sizeable cohort of Boomer men who are very capable and learnt from their own grandfathers and fathers, as well as a school system, but then taught their own sons nothing. I think many assumed that "It's the government's job to educate my kids, that's what I pay taxes for!" and others simply couldn't be bothered.
This is a thing that happened with me for a long time. I started working at a freight company that rented sound equipment. Boss was a stickler for safety and procedures because the stuff was expensive. Plenty of times he would tell you to do X and not how to do it. And after you do it how you consider it correct he would go apeshit because you didn't do it how he likes it done.
I get being lonely and shit which is a big part of the scam.
They grew up in an entirely different education system, plus they grew up around the Greatest Generation and the Silent Generation, who didn't shit on them for making mistakes.
My friends grandma is falling for one of these scams right now. Thinks she's talking to Elon Musk. Sends him every bit of her money so the family has to drop off bags of rice and shit like that. Craziest thing is the scammer is a pedophile and constantly asking for pics of the grandkids. My friend says her mom can't even send pics of the grandkids to grandma because she just forwards them to the scammer. Crazy shit y'all.
To be fair there are retards who do things like this... its a one in a hundred thousand chance and its snapped up instantly. My family had a family member admit to selling a house for an absurdly low price because of grief before. It isn't something that occurs often enough that you can plan around it though.
Oh, don't get me started on that.
this is really insightful.
I'll use some progressive language, but the problem with even restrained and controlled violence with clear rules against children is that it still normalizes violence against children in general. There is also very little evidence that it actually works. The groups with the most corporal punishment (African Americans/Latinos) actually maintain obscenely high crime rates.
The problem is systematic. We now have Boomer-era laws making the construction of new housing extremely difficult and even illegal.
Interviewer: "Do you think Jenny was a real person"
States which allow for more rapid construction methods (such as Florida) are performing far better for this reason. Sure most of the growth is in suburbs but when I was last there I could see tons of apartment complexes, townhouses, etc being made and within walking distance to strip malls.
Try that same logic with them for smartphones, social media and most importantly, financial scams. Watch them crumble and cry for being aggressive and gullible.
And don’t you dare open YouTube to watch how it’s done.
i never thought about it this way but i just realized the boomer stare, their boring stories on repeat, their inability to process new information -- it's like they're cold calling you, a person they know well, the same way they would a total stranger. except instead of selling you something the cold call is about their life and the script hasn't been updated in 15 years because nothing novel has happened to them in that time
