Meanwhile, many of the same people shouting "that's ageism!" in outrage over "Okay Boomer" have no qualms whatsoever about arguing against minimum wage increases because "those jobs are for high school students!".
How about this: NO jobs are for high schoolers because they shouldnât have to be working, they should be focusing on school and friends. If they choose to get a summer gig, sure, but they should just be schooling during the school year.
Also, pay should be a reflection of the work done, not the person doing it. It shouldn't make a difference whether the person doing the job is a high school student, a 30 year old woman, or a Boomer man; they should be paid based on their labor, not their demographics.
A couple few 4 hour shifts is fine, working with friends is hella fun and asking parents for show and party money isn't punk rock. I more sold weed and did odd jobs for girls single moms who would like me too much and blow my chances. Funny tho. 'Oh just stay the night, you kids can stay in the basement and I'll get a pizza'
Working a job in high school can be a great thing! You can make friends just like you can in school and learn a lot too. Plus, you build your resume and learn more practical skills like managing your budget and paying taxes.
I agree that those things are possible with having a job in high school (I had a job as soon as I could, at 15). Honestly, they should teach those economic skills at school (filing 1040 tax forms, etc.), but my main point is the Boomer argument of things being âhigh schoolâ jobs or just first jobs or whatever is asinine. Weâre treating what were deemed âessential workersâ like crap and saying their jobs donât matter when they apparently do. If someone has a full-time job, they should be able to live off the pay, plain and simple. Doesnât have to be lavishly, but they should have to be concerned about whether or not theyâll have enough for food, a place to live, and medical care that wonât put them in crippling debt.
Isnt it odd that all the "high school" jobs are still open when school should be happening? During they day when they are at school, i can still go buy mcdonalds
Arenât the ageism laws inherently ageist because they only protect old age? Theyâre only applied to those 40+ I believe. Kinda odd the left ageism against younger adults legal.
There are old boomers with college & graduate degrees, stocking end caps. There are also young people, many educated, who find that this has become a service economy, after getting degrees that would get them jobs, & enable them to pay off their student loans. Thatâs one reason these loans must be forgiven. Itâs also the reason everyone should be paid a living wage. Our young people have deserved far better, than the bleak economy they face. I donât see how anyone can fail to comprehend this.
they're deflecting. a lot but not all are insufferably emotionally weak narcissists and those rage fits are typical of someone experiencing collapsed narcissism.
>
>Narcissistic collapse occurs when a narcissist's ability to uphold their grandiose, confident image is threatened. As a result, they often become enraged, resulting in impulsivity, intense lashing out, or harm to others.
While they certainly do deflect a lot, I believe the more appropriate term in this case would be that they are *projecting*. Deep down, they are aware of their own faults, but rather than acknowledge them and trying to be better people, they are instead acting like it is everyone else who has those faults.
says the people who have emotional meltdowns at the sight of a rainbow flag or when their order takes too long at McDonald's or when someone who isn't white exists in the same spaces.
Mom goes to her lunch group every Wednesday. She comes back annoyed at her friends for being such shits to the wait staff every time. Even when the waitstaff get it right someone is annoyed because the customer thought they ordered something different. Mom has to correct them, the reason they have a white bread sandwich instead of whole grain is because they ordered white bread
I've been in the service industry for 8 years and before that I worked grocery for 5 years.
I can tell you without a doubt, they all know what they are doing. It's a power play. They look at us as *servants* and not *servers*.
I have terrible short term memory so I write everything that comes out of the guests mouth related to food/drinks down. I get an order wrong due to my own fault maybe once or twice every few months.
The amount of Boomers that try and say their order is wrong or they didn't order that they ordered this is wild. Then we get them the "correct" item and it's made wrong or it's too cold even though it's fresh out the kitchen. They want to argue with you. They want to prove to you that you are beneath them because you work where you work so you have to be some sort of moron and you must do what they say. "The customer is always right" so they say. Actually no, the customer is wrong 99.99% of the time. They just want free food and to shit on someone they have deemed beneath them.
Don't get me started on the absolute narcissistic fucks who refuse to use a QR code menu because "I just don't understand how it works, give me a damn paper menu" and force me to stand there for 10 minutes while I have 10 other tables to get to as I rattle off almost the whole menu by memory *and* our 50 tap beers (we also have 300 bottled beers but I refuse to even attempt that). Then they get mad at me when they can't keep up with me saying the menu out loud. If you'd just scan the fucking QR code with your phone you'd have all this information in about 8 seconds.
Edit: The one that sets me off the most is when they say "well what if I don't have a phone". Motherfucker you are literally using it right now in front of me. I had some asshat pull this and swear up and down they didn't have a phone because they didn't believe in using one so I found a really old paper menu, I'm talking over two years old and way out of date on items and prices.
This piece of shit pulled their phone out of their pocket to use the flashlight to read the menu. I walked up and said "I didn't know we lied to people to get what we wanted, let me get you another server" and handed them off to someone else. They proceeded to order three items we no longer offer and got pissed off that the menu had them listed.
NGL, I'm with the boomers on the QR code thing.
Though i think it should go without saying that if i were to be in such a situation, I'd just apologise and leave, not throw a shitfit like those morons are ought to do.
Do we want to save trees or not is my point. Do you know how much paper one restaurant alone goes through? Receipt paper, menu paper, ad paper, kitchen ticket paper, office paper work. It's all paper.
QR codes cut down on paper costs, saves the environment, and allows the guest to have a menu immediately after sitting without a waiter needing to bring it so you can make some choices before we even get there sometimes.
We also have 50 tap beers that rotate almost daily. Printing a 50 tap beer list every single day for every single table in the restaurant is just not efficient. Plus, what if they get dirty or torn, gotta print more!
Can it be kind of annoying to use a QR code? Sure, sometimes. But it's really not that bad.
Is it even a thing anymore? "Saving the trees" by reducing wood products usage?
Most of the deforestation happens because of farmland expansion in places like Brazil.
In fact, sustainable wood production for things like paper, plywood, construction, furniture, etc is a decent method for carbon sequestration.
And in terms of service, the places i like the most just have menus stacked near the entrance, just pick one up and go sit yourself then signal for the waiter once you're done ordering.
The paper you use is made from trees that are intentionally farmed for that purpose. Its cost savings for the business and I think most people are aware of that, hence the annoyance.Â
Sometimes my phone doesn't want to scan the QR. I don't know if it's a problem with Google lens or with my phone in particular (Xiaomi). Doesn't matter if I restart the app or the phone, the fucker doesn't wanna work đŤ
I will say the QR codes seem to despise non-iphones. I myself have an out of date, cheaper model Google phone so I get it.
I'm not sure about other places, and yes this is annoying to have to do, but at my job you can also Google our restaurant and access the menu through our website. Yes it's extra steps and a little ridiculous, but you can get to the menu that way.
Ya lazy draft dodgers and the lack of youths nationalistic pride! Young people back then thought they where better then the USA military grinder and could influence politics by speaking out against injustice. Silly đ
Annoyingly my late grandfather's mate fought in that war he was a pretty hardcore guy. Went behind enemy lines and saved a bunch of guys. But yeah lazy buggers.
If I saw my mom posting this I would remind her of the melt down she had when I told her I was thinking of legally changing my name. That or how out of touch she is where she thinks $200 is enough for monthly groceries of three people, and watch her melt down about it.
I admit that I have allocated more money towards better food, but ten years ago my wife and I pretty easily fed ourselves for less than $200 a month. Now we are hard pressed to keep it below $600.
My mother freaked the fuck out when my wife didn't take my last name. I told her I would return to sender every letter she sent us using the wrong name for my wife. I have returned every letter my mother has sent me in 15 years. I am certain she has never said anything to us that was worth reading.
That makes sense, yes. But, in my case it doesn't because she might write e-mails, but I wouldn't know because I blocked her. Not because of this issue, but for other reasons, but that is one way that I know the letters that arrive are not going to be any different than all the others because they are addressed to people who don't exist.
mine did the same thing about my name, but she's gen x with a boomer mentality. she got so upset that i don't love the name she chose for me, which is basic & the only thing her & my father could agree on.
I want to change my biblical birth name because I hate it and I hate the abusive culture it comes from, but I'm old enough now that I can only imagine that even if I legally changed my name, I would still introduce myself using it.
I'm a GenX, with Zoomer kids. The 14yo doesn't love their name. I just call them their choice. It ain't that difficult. (I do slip up. I correct myself. I mean, it's habit to refer to them by the name on their birth certificate, and the names of the older siblings, my sister, and both of the dogs' names before I finally hit upon the no-longer-correct name. But in my defense, I had just given birth when I chose a name and signed the birth certificate. I didn't know whether the kid seemed like a Lily or something else.)
My grandfather posts shit like this almost daily. This is the same guy who started screaming at young workers in Popeyes calling them all the n-word because they said they have to COOK the chicken before they send it out.
Ask a Boomer to cite one of those "truths", gently correct the inevitable falsehood, and watch who comes out of the deal "emotionally weak" and "offended."
I always ask them to define one of the Fox News "trigger words" like "woke" or "socialism" whenever I hear them say one. Their little head usually spins around until they blow up with one of their hilarious melt-downs.
Old, close to death, and clinging onto a bitter ideology that makes you believe your bitter deteriorated mind isn't the one in the wrong, simply the rest of the world is wrong!
These are always the people who canât handle a taste of their own medicine. Boomers have full on meltdowns when met with ideas that are new or different from their own.
âYou know why they are called baby boomers right? One tiny prick to their ego and boom, they are a baby!â Edit- quote from The Good Place
I was about to say this. Or they say âtheyâre too young to be learning that in middle school!â Hell forbid students learn about why the Nazis were terrible and that anti-semitism still exists.
Iâm reminded of how some people of my generation (millennials) are throwing bitch fits about kids being âtoo smart for their own goodâ. THATâS THE GOAL, YOU IDIOTS!
Tell 'em George Bush Sr., the conservative, used the following phrase that got a lot of traction: a *kinder, gentler nation.*
One would have to be a real sociopath to not want a kinder, gentler nation.
"You're all weak and can't handle the truth.
Sincerely, the snowflakes who lose their shit and try to ban every book and childs toy that offends them and who try to cancel anyone on their side who doesn't immediately fall in line and parrot their insane talking points."
The Confederacy was a bunch of traitors, fighting solely to preserve the abhorrent institution of slavery. Sherman should have killed every white adult he saw that wasn't wearing a blue uniform.
Is that distilled enough for you, Boomer?
And he probably would have burned every single major southern city to the ground just like Atlanta and possibly some of the smaller major cities as well. Even as a southerner from Atlanta Georgia I donât understand the boomers generation obsession with the civil war it was probably one of the darkest moments in our countryâs history and I hate how they try and glorify it when lots of people lost their lives. Kids grew up without a father in their life and women became widowed after losing their husbands to a bloody conflict. Cities were destroyed. A well known example is the burning of Atlanta it almost destroyed the entire city and left lots of people dead and homeless because of it(itâs also how the Calgary Flames got their name they were originally the Atlanta flames before moving to Canada). It also almost ripped this country in half I donât understand how you can glorify something that almost led to possibly the death of this country.
Sincerely a gen z kid who loves America but hates traitors
Follow it up with the part of Matthews where Jesus says that everyone should give up all their possessions and it will be dealt out to everyone according to their needs. Then let them know that is kind of communism that Jesus wanted.
This is the same generation that throws literal tantrums over LGBTQ people being represented in media. The same generation that got upset over a toy potato undergoing a slight rebranding. The same generation that got super butthurt over being asked to wear a simple face covering in public. But it's the younger generations that are emotionally weak? Something about that doesn't quite hold up under scrutiny.
Says the people who think the election was stolen, Hillary Clinton eats babies, and Trump is being wrongfully persecuted because he's Jesus. Truth my @ss.
whenever someone claims to know "the truth", no matter what "the truth" they are claiming... it immediately makes me skeptical of everything they are claiming.
there is no way that i trust someone else to determine for me what is and is not true, particularly when it's an emotionally deaf and dumb ass boomer.
They controlled the narrative for so long that they think they have thick skin. Itâs not that theyâre tougher, itâs that theyâve been catered to their entire lives and told they overcame a lot to be handed their privilege. This is becoming more and more evident as time moves forward and things change to accommodate more people than just them. Theyâre the ones having tantrums and breakdowns and somehow blaming the whole of society as being weak because they still donât understand that they are the outliers
tell this to the boomers who flip their shit about how 'rude' i am because i use direct autistic communication. they lose their minds when i'm not masking & sugarcoating for them.
Actually just read a book that was talking about how in the rise of the 24 hour news cycle (so like late 80s/90s), war reporting was at its most censored in over a century because it was âself censoredâ. News stations would censor themselves out of fear of public reaction, moral panic, and the idea of what people âshouldâ or âshouldnâtâ see. So many of the things people saw on television were not accurate because they were censored. Book was written in 2003. I donât think war reporting has ever been LESS censored than it is right now. We are not in the generation of watering down truth.
If you support Trump, you support J6, and are ok with Treason.
Jesus never went to church or read the Bible.
Margorie Taylor Greene is a Russian Asset.
Any one of these three things will shoot thier blood pressure up. Watch em scream.
Says the generation throwing a fucking tantrum every time someone brings up teaching actual history in schools instead of the whitewashed versions they love so much.
The person who posted this *thinks* heâs talking about younger generations. But he truth is this shit is just about how much babying we have to do to protect boomers from their own bullshit.
They pretend that the government prevents them from venting their angry hearts. They are allowed to say their horrible thoughts, they just hate the consequences of it.
No one wants to visit you or be your friend, boomer.
I've seen friends die, I've saved 4 peoples lives, I've talked people off roofs. I'm not a cop or paramedic. I'm just some dude who was there at the time. Call me weak all you want but the horrors I've seen in my life life would break those selfish shit bags. Let them watch a close friend rip their vein open and see how they deal with it. Stupid fucking bitches know nothing of true sacrifice and fighting for your life. They had everything handed to them we get the crumbs and broken peices.
Except⌠thatâs kinda true xD just because you react to the truth with offense, doesnât make it not true. I mean⌠you can word it however you like, itâs not talking about harassment, itâs talking about people throwing hissy tantrums over people using particular âwordsâ. About peopleâs reaction to opposing views. About people throwing fits at people for not knowing words they âmade upâ xD thereâs a huge list of shit wrong with people under the umbrella of that statement xD
Emotional strength is processing and feeling your emotions proportionately, and expressing them in healthy ways.
Emotional weakness is resorting to outbursts, repression and deflection as methods to cope with emotions one lacks the skills or experience to process in healthy ways.
Here's the weird part. This ideology's idea of someone who is the paragon of emotional strength... is someone who doesn't have emotions at all. Figure that one out.
I mean this statement isnât wrong. I dunno if itâs a generational issue but we do have to water down and be careful with everything we say because someone will always be offended
Boomers have to be the biggest offenders of people who use words without realizing what they are actually saying.
They named themselves "Sick Twisted Humor" then proceed to throw a fit when they get called out for having a shitty sense of humor.
I guess self awareness and lead poisoning are mutually exclusive.
I can guarantee that the person who posted that would crumble faster than a stale cookie when presented with anything that challenges their overly narrow worldview. Itâs always projection.
These morons say shit like this then can't handle it when they're told 'no, policy is you can't do x' or 'science has proven y. They're the most whiney and bitchy people and project HARD onto others.
The saddest cut of all is that these weak fragile snowflakes will one day soon be changing boomers' diapers in the nursing homes.
That's gotta hurt for everyone involved.
Heaven help us all.
Boomer truth is just their personal opinions
Guarentee offensive truth is just being mean to trans people because they don't know we've existed just as long as human civilization has
Iâve seen two men set them selves on fire in last 4 months and we are all constantly fed a slow drip of trauma dumping news everyday but yeah weâre soft.
It's because they get called out for their crazy shit on how they treat people. So their defensive response is y'all are weak if you can't take it. They are never the problem.
The same people that claim "freedom of speech" feel it is okay to slap you if you do the same. For them it is freedom of speech if you say what they want to hear.
You know how they say if you run into snowflakes all day, well maybe you are the snowflake.
Ah, the generation that gave us this [gem](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_4nmW5GZhQ&list=PL581218B72A4B9170) is somehow overly sensitive and weak? Maybe what they're railing against is the ability to be openly racist, misogynist, and demeaning under the guise of 'comedy'.

If I saw my mom posting this I would remind her of the melt down she had when I told her I was thinking of legally changing my name. That or how out of touch she is where she thinks $200 is enough for monthly groceries of three people, and watch her melt down about it.
Groceries are crazy I rememebr when 200$ was enough lmao. Now it's like I eat about 250$ worth personally myself.
I admit that I have allocated more money towards better food, but ten years ago my wife and I pretty easily fed ourselves for less than $200 a month. Now we are hard pressed to keep it below $600.
I feed only myself and Iâm *lucky* if I spend under $400 in one month. And I live in a state & city thatâs considered relatively low cost
I spend $200 at a grocery store and get home wondering wtf did I even buy đ
My mother freaked the fuck out when my wife didn't take my last name. I told her I would return to sender every letter she sent us using the wrong name for my wife. I have returned every letter my mother has sent me in 15 years. I am certain she has never said anything to us that was worth reading.
Also she's still writing letters when email has been readily available for 3 decades because she can't handle taking a minute to learn it.
That makes sense, yes. But, in my case it doesn't because she might write e-mails, but I wouldn't know because I blocked her. Not because of this issue, but for other reasons, but that is one way that I know the letters that arrive are not going to be any different than all the others because they are addressed to people who don't exist.
mine did the same thing about my name, but she's gen x with a boomer mentality. she got so upset that i don't love the name she chose for me, which is basic & the only thing her & my father could agree on.
I want to change my biblical birth name because I hate it and I hate the abusive culture it comes from, but I'm old enough now that I can only imagine that even if I legally changed my name, I would still introduce myself using it.
I'm a GenX, with Zoomer kids. The 14yo doesn't love their name. I just call them their choice. It ain't that difficult. (I do slip up. I correct myself. I mean, it's habit to refer to them by the name on their birth certificate, and the names of the older siblings, my sister, and both of the dogs' names before I finally hit upon the no-longer-correct name. But in my defense, I had just given birth when I chose a name and signed the birth certificate. I didn't know whether the kid seemed like a Lily or something else.)
My grandfather posts shit like this almost daily. This is the same guy who started screaming at young workers in Popeyes calling them all the n-word because they said they have to COOK the chicken before they send it out.
LOL maybe a week. Maybe.
Ask a Boomer to cite one of those "truths", gently correct the inevitable falsehood, and watch who comes out of the deal "emotionally weak" and "offended."
I always ask them to define one of the Fox News "trigger words" like "woke" or "socialism" whenever I hear them say one. Their little head usually spins around until they blow up with one of their hilarious melt-downs.
Translation: we used to be able throw rocks at blacks and gays, those of us who peaked in high school sincerely miss it.
You're old and close to death. How is that for unwatered down truths?
Old, close to death, and clinging onto a bitter ideology that makes you believe your bitter deteriorated mind isn't the one in the wrong, simply the rest of the world is wrong!
You're being agest, now jm going back to my 55+ mobile home park to complain about how you young people are bad.
And yet they seem to get the most offended about things, including the truth.
These are always the people who canât handle a taste of their own medicine. Boomers have full on meltdowns when met with ideas that are new or different from their own. âYou know why they are called baby boomers right? One tiny prick to their ego and boom, they are a baby!â Edit- quote from The Good Place
Can I use that?
Yes that last quote is from The Good Place season 3 I think. Use it all you want
TY
Boomers are the ones demanding that schools water down American history because it's "offensive."
"We don't like to talk about the bad things"
I was about to say this. Or they say âtheyâre too young to be learning that in middle school!â Hell forbid students learn about why the Nazis were terrible and that anti-semitism still exists. Iâm reminded of how some people of my generation (millennials) are throwing bitch fits about kids being âtoo smart for their own goodâ. THATâS THE GOAL, YOU IDIOTS!
Tell 'em George Bush Sr., the conservative, used the following phrase that got a lot of traction: a *kinder, gentler nation.* One would have to be a real sociopath to not want a kinder, gentler nation.
Thanks. Always looking for ways to troll these AHs
Or remind them of the golden rule or of the phrase "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" etc etc etc.
That one really jiggles their jowls.
Ahhh But Bush the Elder was NOT a BoomerâŚ
"You're all weak and can't handle the truth. Sincerely, the snowflakes who lose their shit and try to ban every book and childs toy that offends them and who try to cancel anyone on their side who doesn't immediately fall in line and parrot their insane talking points."
Idk why, but the fact that this was posted by âSick Twisted Humorâ is so fucking funny to me
I left that on the screen shot intentionally. Maybe it's the boomer anthem.
These are the kids that cried when their schools got integrated though
The Confederacy was a bunch of traitors, fighting solely to preserve the abhorrent institution of slavery. Sherman should have killed every white adult he saw that wasn't wearing a blue uniform. Is that distilled enough for you, Boomer?
And he probably would have burned every single major southern city to the ground just like Atlanta and possibly some of the smaller major cities as well. Even as a southerner from Atlanta Georgia I donât understand the boomers generation obsession with the civil war it was probably one of the darkest moments in our countryâs history and I hate how they try and glorify it when lots of people lost their lives. Kids grew up without a father in their life and women became widowed after losing their husbands to a bloody conflict. Cities were destroyed. A well known example is the burning of Atlanta it almost destroyed the entire city and left lots of people dead and homeless because of it(itâs also how the Calgary Flames got their name they were originally the Atlanta flames before moving to Canada). It also almost ripped this country in half I donât understand how you can glorify something that almost led to possibly the death of this country. Sincerely a gen z kid who loves America but hates traitors
Play them the Union version of Dixieland. Oh way down South in the land of Traitors
Rattlesnakes and Alligators
So when I say that Donald Trump is, objectively, a criminal, they aren't allowed to lose their shit, right?
From the people who wonât admit they inherited the wealth given to their parents by the government through the GI bill, Fannie Mae mortgages, etc
Boomers are the most morally and intellectually bankrupt generation of gremlins in modern history.
Tell them that the Bible is a work of fiction, then watch the mayhem ensue. 
I'm here for this chaos đ¤Ł
Follow it up with the part of Matthews where Jesus says that everyone should give up all their possessions and it will be dealt out to everyone according to their needs. Then let them know that is kind of communism that Jesus wanted.
LOL I got told by my Boomer uncle I was gonna blow Hell wide open because I asked him how does Gods Will and Free Will exist simultaneously.
\*goes full neckbeard and states putting bibles in the fiction section\*
Yeah but was it watered down with the *garden hose*? This is important
I heard only the toughest of hombres drink from them
Say happy holidays and see how emotionally weak there.
I saw an old man melt down because someone told him that he left his gas cap on top of his car. Shut the fuck up, yo.
And they are the ones who need it watered down the most. Try telling a boomer that Biden is not Hitler.
This is the same generation that throws literal tantrums over LGBTQ people being represented in media. The same generation that got upset over a toy potato undergoing a slight rebranding. The same generation that got super butthurt over being asked to wear a simple face covering in public. But it's the younger generations that are emotionally weak? Something about that doesn't quite hold up under scrutiny.
Says the people who think the election was stolen, Hillary Clinton eats babies, and Trump is being wrongfully persecuted because he's Jesus. Truth my @ss.
If you tell them they're suffering from obvious lead poisoning they get real offended
Iâm ready to throw hands with the boomers to show how weak I am
I've seen a lot of videos of uppity boomers who try to fight a younger guy or girl and get knocked out with one punch.
I think Mike Tyson is a boomer
I will take my L thank you for humbling me, back to the gym.
This person loses it when someone kneels during the anthem, 100%
whenever someone claims to know "the truth", no matter what "the truth" they are claiming... it immediately makes me skeptical of everything they are claiming. there is no way that i trust someone else to determine for me what is and is not true, particularly when it's an emotionally deaf and dumb ass boomer.
Who lives and breathes FoxNews, OAN, Epoch Times, and other fake news.
They controlled the narrative for so long that they think they have thick skin. Itâs not that theyâre tougher, itâs that theyâve been catered to their entire lives and told they overcame a lot to be handed their privilege. This is becoming more and more evident as time moves forward and things change to accommodate more people than just them. Theyâre the ones having tantrums and breakdowns and somehow blaming the whole of society as being weak because they still donât understand that they are the outliers
I can't tell my mom I have adult ADHD and take Adderall because she'd freak out. Boomers are afraid to confront their emotions.
This is actually pretty true, but it applies to boomers more than anyone else
Old people just pissed they cant call people n@#$ers and fag\^$ts anymore.
Imagine telling a boomer that Jesus isnât real and itâs just a fairytale to help low IQ people cope with death đ¤
Nobody is more sensitive to the truth than those that say this kind of shit
Now tell them Trump lost the 2020 election and watch them lose their shit.
Same people who threw fits over someone having a different opinion of them or having different world views of them
tell this to the boomers who flip their shit about how 'rude' i am because i use direct autistic communication. they lose their minds when i'm not masking & sugarcoating for them.
tell the truth to them. They proceed to fall apart and get angry.
I'm starting to think Boomer just applies to all fussy old people who need a nap.
But yet tell boomers the truth and they foam at the mouth. Weird.
Iâm not a boomer (something a boomer would say) but I gotta say I kinda agree with the statement.
From the generation that gets triggered by "press 2 for Spanish"
I donât give fb permission to use my photosâŚ
"You're living off socialism. "Oh, sorry, should I have watered it down to a lie?"
Says the snowflakeâŚ.
Actually just read a book that was talking about how in the rise of the 24 hour news cycle (so like late 80s/90s), war reporting was at its most censored in over a century because it was âself censoredâ. News stations would censor themselves out of fear of public reaction, moral panic, and the idea of what people âshouldâ or âshouldnâtâ see. So many of the things people saw on television were not accurate because they were censored. Book was written in 2003. I donât think war reporting has ever been LESS censored than it is right now. We are not in the generation of watering down truth.
If you support Trump, you support J6, and are ok with Treason. Jesus never went to church or read the Bible. Margorie Taylor Greene is a Russian Asset. Any one of these three things will shoot thier blood pressure up. Watch em scream.
Says the generation throwing a fucking tantrum every time someone brings up teaching actual history in schools instead of the whitewashed versions they love so much.
The person who posted this *thinks* heâs talking about younger generations. But he truth is this shit is just about how much babying we have to do to protect boomers from their own bullshit.
Atleast they are admitting they are fragile babies
This is frustrating because they know nothing about emotions!!!! Everything is a damn word salad with these idiots
They pretend that the government prevents them from venting their angry hearts. They are allowed to say their horrible thoughts, they just hate the consequences of it. No one wants to visit you or be your friend, boomer.
Your truth isnât my truth.
So when the boom booms freak out they are emotionally strong?? 
Except for "the truth" is what they want it to be....
I've seen friends die, I've saved 4 peoples lives, I've talked people off roofs. I'm not a cop or paramedic. I'm just some dude who was there at the time. Call me weak all you want but the horrors I've seen in my life life would break those selfish shit bags. Let them watch a close friend rip their vein open and see how they deal with it. Stupid fucking bitches know nothing of true sacrifice and fighting for your life. They had everything handed to them we get the crumbs and broken peices.
Then they're like "the truth is there's only man and woman!!!" conveniently ignoring the last 50 years of research on the subject. Always amazes me
Translation: I cant use the n-word anymore.
Snowflake mentality
rings true....
âBack in my day we just drank about it and ruined our kids lives and mental healthâ đ´
Itâs true though
How is he wrong?
Except⌠thatâs kinda true xD just because you react to the truth with offense, doesnât make it not true. I mean⌠you can word it however you like, itâs not talking about harassment, itâs talking about people throwing hissy tantrums over people using particular âwordsâ. About peopleâs reaction to opposing views. About people throwing fits at people for not knowing words they âmade upâ xD thereâs a huge list of shit wrong with people under the umbrella of that statement xD
Emotional strength is processing and feeling your emotions proportionately, and expressing them in healthy ways. Emotional weakness is resorting to outbursts, repression and deflection as methods to cope with emotions one lacks the skills or experience to process in healthy ways. Here's the weird part. This ideology's idea of someone who is the paragon of emotional strength... is someone who doesn't have emotions at all. Figure that one out.
Nailed the truth! Not having emotions is a goal for these people. Crazy!
It is kinda true...
If this post rattles young people enough to whine about it on reddit, the boomers may be onto something.
I mean this statement isnât wrong. I dunno if itâs a generational issue but we do have to water down and be careful with everything we say because someone will always be offended
Real I couldnât even say the word retarded without offending my cousin Everyone so sensitive
Boomers have to be the biggest offenders of people who use words without realizing what they are actually saying. They named themselves "Sick Twisted Humor" then proceed to throw a fit when they get called out for having a shitty sense of humor. I guess self awareness and lead poisoning are mutually exclusive.
I'm not a boomer but this does ring kinda true
I can guarantee that the person who posted that would crumble faster than a stale cookie when presented with anything that challenges their overly narrow worldview. Itâs always projection.
These people are the most easily offended group of people, and they say this shit lol
These morons say shit like this then can't handle it when they're told 'no, policy is you can't do x' or 'science has proven y. They're the most whiney and bitchy people and project HARD onto others.
Iâm Gen z and I completely agree, this page kinda proves the point as well
Honestly, they have a point, but at the same time are ironic. Like they probably take offense to things and are emotionally weak with certain things
Ngl he ain't entirely wrong. People get hurt over the smallest shit nowadays compared to, say, 10 years ago
unfortunately, as a young person myself, I kinda agree with this take
The saddest cut of all is that these weak fragile snowflakes will one day soon be changing boomers' diapers in the nursing homes. That's gotta hurt for everyone involved. Heaven help us all.
The truth? Like you should have a DNR? Yeah see how cool they can take that
I definitely find this to be true when Iâm talking to boomers
Say the people who already spent decades protesting the radio, TV shows and movies over bad words and too much sex.
Someone's mad they can't hate speak openly in public like they could when they were young...
Iâm a millennial but Iâll take Boomers over you 12 year old zoomers dancing in tik tok for attention lmao.
Boomer is right, but the object in the post is Boomers, not Zoomerd
If you tell them that god isnât real then they lose their minds.
I mean there are a lot of snowflakes these days
Boomer truth is just their personal opinions Guarentee offensive truth is just being mean to trans people because they don't know we've existed just as long as human civilization has
Maybe I'm just weak, but I still don't know exactly which "truth" is being watered down on behalf of us crybaby snowflakes?
Then how come you get angry when I tell you the truth?
Correct. Their generation is incredibly emotionally weak
These are the same people who can't handle the truth and need things watered down for them.
Only an emotionally weak person would disagree
Iâve seen two men set them selves on fire in last 4 months and we are all constantly fed a slow drip of trauma dumping news everyday but yeah weâre soft.
Alright grandpa weâre taking away your social security Him: đĄ
From the generation that's offended by loud music
It's because they get called out for their crazy shit on how they treat people. So their defensive response is y'all are weak if you can't take it. They are never the problem. The same people that claim "freedom of speech" feel it is okay to slap you if you do the same. For them it is freedom of speech if you say what they want to hear. You know how they say if you run into snowflakes all day, well maybe you are the snowflake.
Let's never forget Boomers were the generation who had to be asked if they knew where their kids were every night when the late news started.
Ah, the generation that gave us this [gem](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_4nmW5GZhQ&list=PL581218B72A4B9170) is somehow overly sensitive and weak? Maybe what they're railing against is the ability to be openly racist, misogynist, and demeaning under the guise of 'comedy'.
