Seriously. I don’t want your opinion or your “expertise” or anything. Keep your experiences and feelings to yourself.

Let me live my life. If I want advice or help, I’ll ask people I trust.

This applies to actual boomers and online boomers, and also to people who have a boomer mindset.

Boomers were socialized in a pre-internet world. It was lonely and boring, SO BORING. A lot of them decided one way to stave off boredom was to talk too much, a trait that hasn’t quite died out yet.

This is why I’ll never have a meaningful relationship with my grandparents

Why is it so hard to treat someone as an equal? Like, I’m doing everything I can to live a fulfilling life, and their advice is to stop following my dreams to follow theirs instead because they think I’d be wealthier one day

I don’t mind grandparents that much cuz mine are really old and their advice is easy to ignore. The worst are just older people who aren’t that old yet that you can just blame it on them being old.

My grandma always says “things are relative, in my day…” when I complain about how hard things are getting. Thing is that my gran is silent generation and not boomer, and grew up on a rural farm during the depression, so she’s not really wrong.

It inspired it lol. But that person also said talking about tiktok banning people for being pro-BLM was just “streamer drama” that we shouldn’t care about so I don’t particularly care what they think.

One of the benefits to being unemployed is that when an old person bothers me while I’m doing my own business I can just tell them to fuck off

They have no recourse

It’s the antidote to having worked retail for years
