On the surface, it sounds like Boomers hate you. Or like they have the attention span and logical thinking skills of a goldfish. Neither one of these is true. Their complete dismissal of any of your concerns, and their total refusal to understand your situation or worldview, is actually quite sensible in light of one key fact about them. They're not hateful. They're not dumb. They just have an incredibly low emotional pain threshold. They cannot stand to feel bad about themselves for any reason, even for a moment. When you create a meme like this, or you tell the story of how you are forty years old and can't afford a house because you trained for three different careers and got rugpulled by work visas and offshoring every time... ... then they don't even think about it as a worldview or a perspective or an experience that you have. They don't think about you at all. They think only about the effect on their own self-esteem, which must be parried. You have, you see, told a tale of playing life on hard mode, which implies that they were playing life on easy mode, which implies that they are not wizards of insight and paragons of virtue. That's why they will immediately respond with these incoherent lines about whining and bootstraps and firm handshakes and avocado toast. Of course they don't make sense. They don't have to make sense. The goal isn't to persuade you of anything or engage with you at all. The goal is simply to have an excuse to avoid thinking about something which might make them feel bad. These Boomerisms are magic talismans used to ward off emotional discomfort, in much the same fashion as all the species of plants they smoked their way through when they were your age. I don't see a solution to this. I don't know any way to tell Boomers that Hart-Cellar, CRA1964, DEI, open borders, social welfare programs, anti-racism, gay marriage, gun control, the sexual revolution, etc, were massive mistakes and need to be stopped, while hiding the obvious implication they were the ones who made those mistakes. If we wish to save Western civilization, to make things good enough again that actual Americans can manage to have homes and marriages and children, then we're going to have to find a way to work around the Boomers, because they're never going to get on board.

Why do they keep doing this? Is it like some kind of psychosis?

Dems: "Trump called veterans suckers and losers!" Narrator: This was denied by everyone involved and no proof this ever happened. Dems senate nominee Graham Platner on Reddit: "That dumb motherf***** didn't deserve to live!" (soldier was shot, seriously wounded, received Purple Heart, Platner refuses to apologize). "The U.S. Army is "absolute trash" and "full of fat, lazy trash who would rather not be in uniform". Narrator: He also has a Nazi tattoo and downplayed military sexual assault. Dems: "He's our guy! He's AWESOME!" You can not make this up.

Recap of the last 24 hours... Leftists: "Marxists are in decline in academia. I bet you can't even name 10 of them." Me: "Okay, here's 20." Leftists: "Well one of those is Canadian, so your list is invalid . Also, I'm moving the goalposts. You can't even name 100 of them!" Me: "Okay, here's a longer list with over 100. All of them are American." Leftists: "Nuh uh! That list includes emeritus faculty. And 3-4 of are dead. Plus, there are 1.5 million faculty and all you have is 100! Your list is invalid!" Me: "The emeritus faculty include some of the leading Marxist theorists alive today. The list was scraped from self-identified Marxists on Wikipedia, which skews toward older and better known faculty. That also explains why there are a couple of names who died in the last year & haven't had their bios updated. There are still over 100 living Marxist faculty on the list though." Leftists: "Bah! 100 faculty out of 1.5 million? That's nothing!" Me: "I never said the list was comprehensive, nor did you ask for a comprehensive list. You just asked for 100 names, which I exceeded. But if you want to discuss percentages here's a survey showing about 8% of faculty identify as Marxists. The percentage is much higher in certain disciplines that tend to be more political." Leftists: "Nuh uh! That's not accurate " Round and round we go...

My 28 year old daughter who has a degree in materials science and engineering, was recently laid off from this company in January. They cut 2/3 of the people and she noticed that H1b Indians were the ones who were kept. She had previously told me that the Indians were legally getting paid less than the Americans. She still hasn’t found a job and she lives in Boston metro. tesseratherapeutics.com

I'm learning a lot from bickering with people on Wikipedia. For example, did you know fraudulent articles can be "reliable" and articles documenting said fraud can be "unreliable" for no other reason than 'some lifeless loser who edits Wikipedia 10 hours a day said so'? Wow!

My most unhinged run-in with HR was while working at a biotech company as a senior scientist, a long time ago. They were doing racism audits, and me being an Asian, they targeted me in an inquisition-style interrogation. In essence, it was about 30 minutes of them... Gen Z women with a chip on their shoulders, trying to make me say that I experienced racism at the company. It was them framing every little comment, quip, joke, and conversation that my 'white' coworkers had with me into some sort of racist dog whistle. They wanted me to "out" my work friends as "racists" so that HR could crucify them. I knew they were recording the whole time, so I had to be very careful with my words. I kept my answers brutally short, usually with a single-word answer of "no", or that lacks context, or that's a misframing. They were literally trying to manufacture problems to go after people to justify their existence. They were trying to goad me, to extract the "right" answers from me that I refused to play their stupid game. After the interview was over, and after their little racism witch hunt didn't work, they moved on to other targets, other minorities, other stupid problems no one cared about.

Pro marriage advice from someone who’s been married for 83 years: If you feel you are owed an apology, ask for it. Your spouse often has no idea. Worst case scenario - you actually owe THEM an apology and you resolve the matter the painful and humble way. Best case scenario- your spouse realizes the error of their ways, says sorry, and you’re both better off for it. Either way you don’t hold on to resentment and become bitter.

Peacemaking Saint
Peacemaking Saint@PeacemakingSt·
When I was in high school, I attended a "plan your future" workshop with my friends and classmates. One of the workshop leaders had us all go around and share what career path we wanted to pursue. One of my friends (a Latter-day Saint girl) told the instructor, "I'm just excited to be a mom." The leader (a woman) responded, "Well don't you want a real career?" The leader proceeded to grill my friend about her interest in various "real careers" for the next two minutes. She simply could not understand why a teenage girl would want her future to be taking care of her kids full-time. Being a stay-at-home mom is a real and honorable career. There is nothing wrong with women who stay at home full-time to raise their children.

@Manhattva I disagreed with you earlier on Millenials and house affordability, but you're mostly right on this one. No, that money wouldn't accomplish a full retirement, but the idea is sound: My generation needs to cook more. No question there.

I don’t mean to sound like some boomer, But really, really simple bit of advice for young people. If you took 50% of the money that you spend on buying meals and going out, and put it into a retirement or even better a vanguard 500 Roth IRA, In 40 years, you’d probably have enough for a pretty good retirement.
𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐠@CasuallyGreg

Gen Z spends more on delivery and eating out than any other generation (graph one). They also report the lowest confidence in cooking skills (graph two). Gen Z is choosing this trade-off.

Correct: Citing sources you did not read is misrepresentation and should be punished.
Lenka Zdeborova@zdeborova

@eiszett Have you read all the sources you ever cited? During my PhD we, along with dozens of other papers, cited a paper that I later found did not contain the result for which it was commonly cited. I should be banned I guess.
