Can we stop with this "boomer" sis joke? - Lemmy Ninja Clan

“Boomer” is not a synonym for “old”, “old fashion” or “senior” people. Stop using it for everything like a stupid spoiled hyper-connected kid ? best! note: I’m 39.

That sum Boomer™ attitude u got going on chief
You’re 39. That means you’re old enough to ignore things that are written that you don’t agree with. Unless something or someone is physically hurting you or writing libelous content about you, it’s usually better to just move on and ignore it.
indeed detonator
Technically, boomer is a synonym for old. Anyone who is part of the boomer generation was born at the latest in 1964 and as early as 1946. That, my friend, is old. Someone born in 1964 would be at least 59 at the youngest age and 77 on the older end.
I always thought boomer was a synonym for baby boom, which was 1970 to 1975

Technically, boomer is a synonym for old.

No, technically “boomer” designs people born during the baby boom era after the war up to mid 60’s. that’s it! Calling a 50yo or even 40yo a boomer is plain stupidity exposed.

You’re right, but these kids will never admit it.

They don’t know that words have actual meanings, they just use them incorrectly often enough that they forget

No… Boomers start at 40. Around 40yo is where I find a distinct cuntishness in people’s abilities to not be a complete privileged asshole.

Boomers start at 40.

OK, so you don’t even agree on the initial definition. That’s issue, you go in every direction, you call everything the same thing and at the end, you know nothing and you distinct nothing. Just like a pretentious spoiled kid.

I expected some “ok boomer” here AND it did support point, sadly.

You made my point as well by making believe the world should be as you say. The world is no less than chaos.

Whatever the age, if you act like a know it all privvy cunt everybody’s going to fuck you like a cunt.

Hey, this post is a great example of that very thing!

I feel sad for the people who bought into the 'boomers are to blame' propaganda. Very similar to the 'they terk er jerbs' crew. From this article:

Research by the Insured Retirement Institute (IRI) from 2019 also suggests trouble for many retiring Boomers. IRI found that 45% have no retirement savings. Out of the 55% who do, 28% have less than $100,000. This suggests that approximately half of the retirees are, or will be, living off of their Social Security benefits.

I don't know if you think that it was millenials who started planting trees, or protesting forestry policies and oil companies, but I've been getting arrested for that very thing since the 80s, along with a lot of my friends. People who, by the by, did not make the cut for home ownership. If you think it's because everyone over 40 voted for this, I'd be curious to know who you've been voting for that is turning this around.

The people you want to be raging against are the rich people. Plain and simple. And if you're such a simpleton as to believe that the problem is age, it probably doesn't matter what you think at this point, anyway. But I wish you the best of luck!

Are We in a Baby Boomer Retirement Crisis?

Research paints a gloomy picture of how prepared many Baby Boomers are for retirement.

The paradox of chaos. If I accept chaos than I’m not deny anything. You can’t create a system of anarchy with order. You can’t create order without chaos.
Man, my decrepit gen x self was right with you until the second sentence. No need to be a jerk about it
