I’m seeing, yet again, this surge of hatred for the Boomer generation. I’m a late season Boomer, born in 1961; I’ve worked for nearly 50 years, have been in the same profession for 37 years, I’ve routinely worked 45-60 hours a week. I don’t get why we are so vilified.

@ckcera @SightUnseen555 @ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo Bot.

@planoize @SightUnseen555 @ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo I have a good career and I make a lot of money and I obviously did not follow your advice or anyone over the age of 55 to get it. Do you seriously think people should 'be brave' to get a job at a gym? Is that the alternative here?

@SightUnseen555 @ckcera @ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo Why not. It worked for the last 3 brokers we hired last year. I am trying to be positive, but it is not working. Goodbye.

@ckcera @planoize @ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo But cera, just print out 20 copies of your resume, put on a nice suit and walk into every business in town and give the manager a firm handshake and you'll have a job by afternoon. -my dad

@ckcera @SightUnseen555 @ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo My point is once again proven. I wish you the best life.

@planoize @SightUnseen555 @ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo People behave collectively by responding to actual market conditions. If they aren't behaving the way you think they should, it says more about your awareness of current conditions than about their defective personalities and lack of bravery.

@ckcera @SightUnseen555 @ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo Once again. My point is made. Unless you are willing to be brave, your world will not change.

@planoize @SightUnseen555 @ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo This is a hopelessly out of touch thing to say when the entire hiring process is online and depersonalized. You can't just switch careers or find a job in the country. Even those rural jobs only hire from their website and get thousands of responses from all over.

@Rianstone Some may call it an echo chamber. My list includes quite a few viewpoints and people who make points without screaming "fascist." It is enjoyable and I do not miss those soulless bastards one bit.

Every time I start getting irritated at Twitter stupidity I realize I'm not on the list, but on the for you page. It's funny how much more enjoyable this is when you get to curate a list of people and view their tweets in chronological order. We should make an algo that does that.

It is a leap of faith, but sometimes the longer road is actually the shorter route. My problem with people of my generation is that we have not encouraged our offspring to take chances. I know lots of successful people who have failed multiple times and came out okay. You never start over completely as you bring experience along with you.

@planoize @ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo I would have to completely change career paths to something else entirely and start over from scratch if I wanted to escape the big cities.

@SightUnseen555 @ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo Not being difficult, but you confirmed my point. I understand believing that one is trapped in circumstances. I too felt that way in my younger years. Taking a leap of faith is not easy for anyone. Beware of golden handcuffs. I wish you all the success you can manage.

@planoize @ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo Easier said than done when your work is in Vancouver... I can't just move to a small town in the middle of nowhere.

@ChrisMartin1961 @2laurabone 1955-65 is Gen Jones.

@2laurabone I was born in 1961, later Boomer, look it up. By the 80’s I was a father and working, my decade was the 70’s.

@SightUnseen555 @ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo Then get out of Vancouver. There are far better places to live in BC with affordable housing and good jobs. I worked in every shit hole in Canada to build up enough equity. Nobody wants to do that any more.

Wow so your home cost just over double your salary. That sucks. Anyway, today in Vancouver I'm making a decent salary, but the average home price is OVER TEN TIMES my salary. It's $1.1 MILLION DOLLARS now. I pay half your total first home price every year in rent for a 700 sqft one bedroom apartment.

@Gerry39464526 @ikwilson "Explain to like I'm fully vaxxed", the best line I have heard this week! 🤣

Explain to me like I’m fully vaxxed WHY is there a tanker ban on the west coast but not on the east coast? Millions of people in the east live along the tanker route whereas almost nobody lives on the west coast, a few thousand natives. WHY is one banned but not the other? WTF

@mindingottawa @ESDC_GC @TimHortons Have not darkened their doorstep for many years now. Terrible coffee and really bad food is not a good combination for a coffee shop. Throw in staff who barely speak English and I'm out. Why mgmt cannot understand this is beyond me.

DOCUMENTS: Labour dep't @ESDC_gc eased some restrictions on migrant labour under lobbying from @TimHortons franchisees who claimed they can't find Canadians to fill 63,000 jobs.  blacklocks.ca/hortons-likes-… #cdnpoli

@Michphil1998 @ikwilson It's all about the elbows.

As a middle class Canadian citizen I’m simply shocked that other Canadians can’t see what’s happening here. How do you not see the adult immigrants working the jobs our youth used to hold? How do you not look around when out in public and see the massive amounts of foreigners wearing foreign garb and speaking foreign languages? How do you not see the prices of groceries and realize that your dollar no longer has any purchasing power? How do you not fuel up and see the cost of fuel increasing due to taxes that if removed would make fuel affordable again? How do you not see the secondary CPP on your paycheque that generations before us weren’t forced to pay? How do you not see the excessive control the government is trying to take via the bills they’re currently discussing and passing? How do you not see the corruption, ethics violations and laws being broken by politicians, their family and friends with ZERO accountability and justice never being handed out? How do you not see the corrupt justice system who panders to foreigners allowing them to commit crimes on Canadian soil with almost zero punishment to protect their immigration status? How do you not see a justice system we were promised was blind hand lenient sentences based solely on race? How do you not see the billions sent to foreign countries, on illegal migrants and people who hate Canada? How do you not see the increase in homeless people on our streets, the increase in drug addictions and the degradation of society? How do you not see that our education and healthcare systems have been decimated due to mass immigration? HOW CAN YOU LIVE HERE AND NOT SEE THE TRUTH ALL AROUND YOU?

@ImpCaesdfAug @GlobalBC What makes you think those folks want them? 🤣

@GlobalBC Canada would be such a nice place to live if those objecting to his show were put in cattle cars and sent to live in the most remote region of the Northwest Territories.

Canadian comedian Ben Bankas is pushing ahead with his planned Kelowna, B.C., stop, despite growing calls to cancel the show. globalnews.ca/news/11737005/…

@JDrewsyBC You can lock out appliances. I also believe there is detent in the receptacle to match the hole to hold it in.

@Rich_Cooper I use the "feel" word to describe an unknown thought process. As in, "This feels wrong." If I cannot state something with a level of certainty, I will fall back to what my gut instinct is, and that is a man's feeling. Does that sound right?

You can spot a soft male a mile away when you hear these 3 words opening a sentence; "I feel like" Women start sentences this way. Totally normal. But men are deductive thinkers. Masculine men replace 'I feel like' with 'I think that.' You'll see it everywhere now.

@MeghanEMurphy And how is that you have come to the conclusion that "they have nothing useful to offer?" To conclude that acurately, you must know them quite well. The number need not be expressed, men can smell it on most females. Men love promiscuous women.

In real life, no one talks about other people in terms of numeric value. No one asks the people they are dating or sleeping with what their “body count” is. Most women are not gold digging whores who only seek to date rich men who look like the college quarterback. All women on social media are not prostitutes and no one is reading a book called Morning Glory Milking Farm. The boys and young men who follow streamers like those featured in @louistheroux's documentary about the "manosphere," though, wouldn’t know that. Because they don’t go out into the real world. They don’t know any real women. They don’t have partners. I don’t even know if they have any male friends in real life. They grew up online, mainlining porn and clips from men calling themselves “HStikkytokky.” These streamers surround themselves with pornstars, convincing their followers that this is a sign of success, while simultaneously telling their young fans that these women deserve no respect on account of their “high body count” and whoredom. They insist money and a collection of very stupid women with very low self-esteem are the primary things that make men real men instead of soyboys. (That, and having big muscles and very tight pants.) The HStikkytokkys and Justin Wallers and Myron Gaines’ of the world, though, don’t actually seem very manly to me. They seem like gay little boys obsessed with their appearances. They have no useful skills to offer, like hunting or fishing or wood chopping or house building. They have nothing useful to offer at all, in fact. They apparently spend all their time online, live streaming for other little boys who also have nothing of value to offer the world. To be clear, this is not a dig at men and boys on the whole. Nor is the documentary. This is purely a dig at the the soulless grifters who saw there was a group of vulnerable, unhappy, naive boys ripe for the picking—with no real world knowledge or wisdom to prevent them from believing any lie sent their way. These boys clearly are lacking in good male role models and real world relationships that could offer a healthy, normal vision of either women or men. They are also online all day and night—the perfect targets for this messaging. It is sad, really, more than it is scary.

@Timothy22033096 @ClownWorld I have known quite a few people like this. People have no idea what hit them when these folks suddenly explode on them. You never have to worry if you treat people respectfully - even if you don't respect them. Even well armed police officers know this.

The people that run at the mouth constantly are not the ones you have to worry about. The people you have to worry about in life are the ones who are very quiet. The ones who have nothing to say or very little to say at that. I know I have seen this happen in front of my face before. The ones who are quiet are the ones who will strike without warning. I remember when I was in junior high school back in the 1980s. This story took place about 1985 or 1986. I was in study hall which was the fourth period. Right after the 4th period was lunch time. During study hall I was sitting next to a kid named Sean. Now I got along with Sean. Sean was always good to me as a friend and he never mistreated me. So me and Sean were on good terms. But right across the other side of study hall was a kid named Jerome. Jerome was throwing spitballs at Sean. I was sitting next to Sean and a couple of the spitballs hit me as well. I really didn't care as I am not a person to get angry very easily. But Sean on the other hand was a different story. Sean didn't say anything out loud. He just kept looking over at Sean and smiling. Shawn leaned over to me and whispered very softly. Timmy, when the bell rings I am going to f Jerome up really bad. And he just kept on smiling. Remember he whispered this quietly so nobody would hear this except me. As soon as the fourth period ended Sean got up dropped his books on the floor walked up to Jerome and wailed into him. And he did it without warning. He tore Jerome up pretty bad. Both Sean and Jerome were suspended from school for 2 weeks. Sean was one of those people that did not give any warning. He just struck. I could give many other examples where I have seen this happen in my life. Fortunately I was not the recipient of any of it. But take my word this truth. The ones that bark you don't have to worry too much about them. It's the people who are quiet and don't say too much. They are the dangerous ones to look out for

Guy starts talking trash to pizza shop workers… owner steps in and shows him the door 🔥🔥

@ErikLindy @Frozenwendigo @tleehumphrey Not so much any more, sadly. The organization has been gutted and is so far from it's goal of creating good solid young men. Teens in this era would be shocked at what did in the 60's and 70's. The calmness of self reliance is irreplaceable.

@planoize @Frozenwendigo @tleehumphrey I was a leader in a couple of Prince Albert troops. There were some great people in scouting, lots of experience and very dedicated.

As of next month I’ll have been retired from the army for 24 years after serving for 20 years in the PPCLI & CAR on countless winter exercises including in the Arctic & it’s absolutely beyond insane that the winter kit being provided to our soldiers is worse than the kit it replaced & that current leaders have lost the skills needed to know when to pause training & seek shelter until the weather is within tolerable ranges. What doesn’t surprise me in the least is the attempt by the chain of command to cover up this epic failure nor does it surprise me that it was the troops on the exercise that ratted those incompetent leaders out. Some things never change & CDN troops hate failed leaders getting a pass at their expense.
