Boomer Hate Thread

I don't know why but this website has a lot of overly smug tradies that will screech about "muh laptop class"

I wager it's mostly younger guys and when their bodies finally explode they'll fight tooth and nail for one of those "fake jewish daycare email jobs" they once decried
It's sour grapes. Niggas also don't understand you aren't paid for labor, it's knowledge in those jobs.
Also, Boomer owned small businesses are worse than megacorps. A megacorp doesn't really care, A boomer does.

I wager it's mostly NEETs roleplaying as being tradies for the sake of online arguments, because that makes them "based" and "trad."

No one underpays quite nearly as badly as an independent small business owner. Every single penny they pay you is viewed as theft from their bottom line. The corpo is indifferent and simply pays market rates, whatever those may be. HR Karen truly does not care if the company makes or loses money.
 
Mike Rowe has a podcast, in it everyone he interviews went to some university, got an MBA, or is another TV/Celebrity fag like himself. If the guest is speaking about any "dirty job" they had to do its always in some hobby or side thing while they dance around admitting to the fact that they are a corporate executive. I am tortured to listen to his shitty podcast by my own boomer relatives who completely bought into his whole character of being a hard working blue collar laborer.
I think Mike is well meaning but he unfortunately does not understand what young people have to go through because of people his age. Scholarships for the trades are great but that still doesn't help if you still have to pay for basic living expenses that have been made out of reach by boomers. Food, housing, clothes, transportation etc is all considerably worse now. The problems we have are to great and only a full reset and un-boomerication will fix the west at this point.
 
Gigantic wall of text incoming

Pre war cars were built to an insanely high quality standard, even the model T and a Fords were made of vanadium tool steel that was extremely rust resistant and they were common daily drivers for poor people as recently as the 1960s.
Not the Model T. The Model A and the 1930s Fords, GMs and Chryslers, yes.

The model T was obsolete by the early 1920s tbh.
Got invited to go golfing recently. I don't own a golf shirt or shorts for the occasion as I don't golf often, so I wore a polo and khakis instead. Halfway through the game I'm setting up for my swing, and this geriatric old boomer drives in front of my shot. He hops out and starts telling me in the most reddit-janny demeanor possible that I have to go get proper golf attire, that the front desk wouldn't let me out on the field if they saw me (they just took my credit card a couple hours ago), and how its disrespectful to the game how I was dressed. I can't even describe how this guy looked, all I could see was a giant forced smile with furrowed brows, almost like one of those sharty/4chan caricatures. I asked who he was because he didn't even introduce himself, and he said in reply "I'm the field marshal, you gotta to listen to what I say." He then proceeded to follow my group for the next three holes, my group left early as a result so I guess mission accomplished. The course isn't even a nice country club, its a city course with a $50 fee and greens without grass. As a warning to my fellow kiwis; do not enter the boomer nexus (golf course).
Lmao he's a rules obsessed golfer
I’m going to give the boomers credit on this one since their music not only had the highest concentration of evergreen acts, but also will probably be the last time pop music reaches “classical” status. As soon as Gen X took over music quality nosedived.
Agreed. Rap exploded once Gen X took over.
It, like most non-book media at the time, was less disposable than today. If you wanted to hear music you liked you either had to catch it on the radio or go through the rigmarole of putting a record on. But Millennials also bought into vinyl which is why it became a fad for music that didn't exist concurrent with the medium.

As far as why it's music from their youth, most people's music taste is informed before they're fourteen. It helps that there was a definite higher average quality in music from 1969-1974 where all these musicians had to drive to experiment with conventions of the medium and the record labels were happy to front the money because they'd get their cut regardless. These weren't obscure groups either, they were making mainstream money. This isn't something that happens anymore; the best you can hope for is an enthusiast wanting to emulate genre conventions at the time, but usually that results in something too derivative or too anchored to how it is received on social media.

If there's an issue with the way boomers interact with their music in current year, it's that they only ever can remember the 100 (more like 50) or so songs that gets played on whatever local affiliate IHeartRadio bought out.

tl;dr Boomers had good music, but Guns 'N' Roses ain't it.
Agreed although Axle Rose is a damn legend 😂
That movie was a pure boomer power fantasy, him standing up to the pack of negroes as the wigger is getting nigged on, pointing a gun at a gang banger. The ethnic group he began to associate with being a tolerable group, I would say it would be unrealistic if they were jeets but knowing boomers he may have found their culture captivating.

The clear and open contempt and hatred of his children and grandchildren is also an insightful look into how boomers view their own young, written to be downright caricatures of scumbags.
That's why he had a gun. Also, in the movie, his kids and grandkids wanted nothing to do with him and were more concerned about his dead wife's jewelry and his access to sports tickets. They were also literally better off then he was....

His character even menieks he was a cold SOB to his children as he didn't know any better.

The movie was really about a dying old man trying to do one decent thing in his last few months on Earth.
Every time I'm seeing a specialist. To get my health checked out because of a history of certain things in my family. There's always 4 boomers there. Regardless of any time of day. Do these people just live at the doctor's office?
Yes because it's essentially free for them (well you are paying for Medicare but it'll never bankrupt you) and they need something to do to get out of the house.

That and as you get older shit just hurts more and more goes wrong.
but the "late" boomers born post-1960 seem to be healthier on average compared to early boomers at their age, and will probably live a lot longer.

1950s boomers can go either way.
Correct. My parents and their siblings are early to mid 1960s Boomers (Boomers ended in 1964) and they're better off than the ones who are even a decade older.
The irony here is a lot of Boomers and Silent Gens believe whatever they see on the TV. Not necessarily the person you're describing, but I'm thinking the "I know everything about everything" stereotype comes from teenagers thinking TV is real life, meanwhile the other groups mentioned here have this apply to them as well.
Yep. Blame 3 national channels and Walter Kronkite for that
If you really want to feel sick, ask a boomer about dating. They'll shrug and tell you that they just kind of fell into relationships without any effort. Compare that to today where if you aren't putting in constant effort to meet people irl while sifting through dating apps that your dating pool will be nigh nonexistent (and it's still shat up by single moms, blacks, chatbot, and BPD wackos). Boomers existed in privileged social bubbles where the worst of the worst would be excluded by mere social pressure. Now the worst of the worst dedicate the most time to ruining things for everyone else.

My parents are still wondering why my oldest sister has literally never been on a date despite being late 30's now. They have this magical thinking approach to thinking some man with a six figure income (no, do not laugh too hard at the delusion that most men in their 30's make six figs) will just randomly pick her up without her putting any effort to meet men
Lol my Mom literally targeted my Dad at work 😂
So this old bitch decided to spray a child with a garden hose for playing outside near her house. Then decides to ACT like a child by faking a faint episode to avoid consequences. All those cameras posted at her house for what, just to stalk children frolicking about at the comfort of her musty basement.
Ewww. I remember my Dad calling the nasty old neighbor lady a "gigantic fucking bitch" when she'd steal our basketballs and the like that went over the fence and she'd pop them.
Got some OC for the thread today.

Background: my father in law gets payed over 100k due to his senority at his company. Yet despite this, he is always out of money and pesters my wife (who makes less than half of what he does) for bailouts. He also pesters his other children and his ex-wife, despite making more money than all of them (maybe combined).

In the one text, he is threatening to bring his girlfriend around the ex wife's house because my wife wont pay him the money he wants. Threatening to remove her from the inheritance (and thereby depriving his only grandchildren of an inheritence) over this money (a couple hundred bucks)

In reality, he is a retard who will probably get manipulated by a girlfriend into losing all his money, and his daughter/grandchildren will get jack shit. Extremely common boomer antics.

(Not pictured) he also quotes scripture about honoring your father and mother, of course forgetting the commandment for fathers to not exasperate their children
Awful. He's a money grubbing sack of shit and he'll 100% get robbed by this girlfriend.
He grew up in a high class family but sought out the attention of the local degenerates, now in his 60s he's rediscovered weed
Even WORSE
You just gave me a horrifying vision of what half the suburban zoomers I grew up with will be like in 40 years.
Yep. Fat weed addicted old people
The only guy I actually like was this psychotic guy who owns a massive. Laser printing business and as a billionaire and has a fully automatic weapon in every single room. He was cool. But he also prints signs for everyone on both sides of the political spectrum.
He was happy with what we built for him and. Tipped us in very expensive whiskey and cigars and also asked everyone if they wanted to go to IS. Indoor basement shooting range and fire off a bunch of automatic ak.
That boomer was pretty cool, actually.


I was also in the doctor's office. Getting a few things checked out that my doctor wanted to. Deal with. And the amount of boomers who were in the same doctor's office every single week is astonishing. I swear that these people clog up every single specialist with every little ache and Boo Boo.
Lol some Boomers are amusing and nice.

They go to the Dr almost for fun and because their costs are limited.
This was touched on briefly earlier in the thread.

But what is the future of all the retards, vegetables, and mutants that Boomers brought into the world because they decided to not have kids until they turnt 45?

I know a Boomer/Gen X Cusp woman who didn’t have a kid until she was 43, and the daughter is legit a baby trapped inside a 20 year old body. Can’t walk, can’t talk, can’t even control her movements. Just scream, yell, poop her pants, and cry. The neurological disease is so strong that FENTANYL DOESNT EVEN SUPPRESS HER. She had a messy divorce with her husband a few years back (he beat her and left her, and before you ask they are reasonably well to do).

She absolutely refuses to get or hire trusted caretakers, and likes to parade her daughter around as “a little miracle”. She legit gets off on being seen as a “super mom.” My parents and I bring up when she is going to go nuts and snap because I don’t understand how she can keep going on with this.

20 years when the mom is gone or too infirm to take care of the vegetable child, what happens next?

Shoddy Nursing home only for the now 40 year old vegetable to get abused and tortured to death?

Buried in a paupers grave and forgotten about?

Are we going to have mass scale boomer retard spawn graveyards?
Yes. Women stupidly waiting till they're almost 50 to have a kid results on lots of speed/potato children.
I was grilling recently. Boomer relative talked about her silent gen mom, who had a health situation recently but somewhat recovered. The silent gen mom likes to go to church, exercise with her old lady exercise group, riding her bike and taking walks. When she's at home she loves to tend her garden, read books and the bible, and thinks about the things she read, while sitting in her garden. She also likes to cook and bake for guests and dotes on them. Seems swell to me, right? No, says the boomer. The present boomers all think this is very troubling, because the silent gen mom doesn't like to watch tv or listen to the radio, they think that's super weird and really bad for her. They think it's bad for you not to watch tv.
That's because they literally grew up glued to the TV. Silent Gen didn't.

I'll note that my Greatest/silent Gen grandfather (born..... 1923/24) loved watching HBO and oddly enough.... MTV later in life although that was in between walks where he'd enjoy his pipe and reading the newspaper and the like. He also worked until he was ~72 IIRC.
What is trivial pocket change to an adult in their 50's is the world to someone in their early 20's. A mere $10k is enough to cover first month's rent, relocation costs, and house hunting expenses when starting their first job. $30k straight up pays off a newish car.

With the grandchildren first strategy to inheritances, it intentionally leaves out the children who failed to produce any grandchildren. Thereby, the long term interests of the family line are preserved instead of wasted on those already past the age of change.
This. I think my Mom wants to do this 🥺

Absolutely correct that a relatively small amount of a young person is a huge boost. Clearing all debt from a 22-25 year old is HUGE.

That's the largest bumper sticker I've seen yet.
Lol and it's kinda BASED ngl
The least important part of University are the classes. Undergrad Research, CO-OPs, Student Projects, Student Groups, etc matter far more.
I am a tech manager as an example. I don't care about the classes, I care about what cool shit you did In University.
This. People forget that yes even in 2026, some University work is actually useful.
Since we're talking about television, I remember when I was a kid, sometime before my time, having cable television in your room was desired. The millennials and boomers were hooked on TV. Now, only thing that is keeping TV relevant are the boomers. Good luck trying to have them understand SMART TV remotes.
Lol they LOVE cable
But I think college in 80 years will resemble what college used to be 80 years ago: just something for the very rich and very intelligent
Correct or the fee jobs that REQUIRE a difficult professional certification aka law, accounting, engineering and the like.
Somewhat off-topic, but I genuinely want every masters degree to be eliminated. They are the bane of the academic world and the gateway to the US job market for infinite third worlders.
They're useful for switching careers.
latin america does not have any succesful countries or a powerful MIC like the US does, at best israel will get some soviet-era AKs and fucking SCUDs if they're lucky
Lol Israeli ultra nationalistals think they can ally with India and Russia and replace the USA.... Lol
In reality, those gangs can knock Clint Eastwood flat on his ass, boomer power fantasies be damned.
Again, he was armed
The used car market being destroyed wasn't because of the boomers, it was Obama's Cash for Clunkers debacle.
Nope.... Every SINGLE car C4C got off the road was replaced in 18 months

Covid and greed from 2021 onwards ruined the US used car market
Ah yes, the dumbest federal program in history. It's not like people really needed these old cars that we're affordable and could be fixed with simpler parts or taking parts from other cars and putting them all together. And since this was during the late 2000s, this was made by Boomers in government, so yes, Boomers technically ruined the used car market.
Lol no. The average car C4C destroyed were POS Mopar SUvs and minivans from the mid 1990s.
Boomers don't have a good concept of the resale market and operate based on sensationalist gambles. I know a boomer that didn't understand that old tech doesn't mean it's inherently collectible
Correct. Pawn Stars and Storage Wars RUINED them
Because saying "They are willing to work for peanuts" is not as socially palatable, which is the true reason behind them conveniently looking the other way. That, and its alternative version "They are willing to work the jobs Americans don't want to work" (Because I'm only willing to pay peanuts). I wouldn't be surprised if Boomers were the largest employers of illegals.
They really are. Lawn people, maids, and the like. All illegals.
it was obviously both. what other generation (except for millennials they deserve their own thread) would take things for granted enough to have these cars executed:
1 1987 Buick GNX
1 1992 GMC Typhoon
1 1997 Bentley Continental R
1 1985 Maserati Quattroporte
1 1985 TVR 280i Convertible
52 Cadillac Allantes
107 Ford Taurus SHOs
381 Nissan 300ZXs
4 Fourth Generation Toyota Supras
123 Subaru SVXs
917 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors

They are via farming.

Plenty of countries cut all farms subsidies and transition to very efficient and technologically advanced farms that do not rely on trucks of cheap laborers doing rotations. Highly efficient farms that produce far more yields for far less resources.
Ehhh people bleat about fruits and vegetable harvesting but those can be automated.

Grains and legumes are already extremely mechanized.
Between the advancements in machinery and fertilizers you can run a massive farm with just a handful of full time employees. People really don't understand how far farming has come in the last 100 years. You even have combine harvesters that drive themselves using GPS. Boomers will instead hire illegals and then complain about their farm going under because he can't compete.
Correct.
We had leather seats in our 2004 Hondas. Leather is just an overpriced markup.
Nah most cloth is mid.
On the subject of leather car seats, do you figure most boomers can tell the difference between faux leather (plastic) and authentic leather (cow)?
Are car dealerships required to disclose if a seat is authentic leather
No and you look to see if the seat material has a brand name. MbTex, Evotex, and similar are all plastic
And of course, unlike a corporate job, your body will wear out a million times faster. Boomers are so horrifically out of touch when it comes to wages, the cost of living, and other such things, it is to the point of delusion. I seriously wonder how some of these kids survive if they don't have a good relationship with some decently wealthy parents.
Yep. Most tradespeople literally can't do the work anymore by their late 50s.

Boomers can't conceptualize 20-40 year skf inflation. They literally think everything costs about that it did 20-30 years ago.
I don't know why but this website has a lot of overly smug tradies that will screech about "muh laptop class"

I wager it's mostly younger guys and when their bodies finally explode they'll fight tooth and nail for one of those "fake jewish daycare email jobs" they once decried
Agreed, office jobs can be done literally until death
Food, housing, clothes, transportation etc is all considerably worse now
Not exactly. Food, you have far more options, same with housing. We've gotten rid of heavy metals and other horrible nasty shit form building materials since the 1970s.

Clothes, you can buy cheap Asian trash or buy nicer. Again, options. The cheap stuff now is cheaper than it's ever been.

Transportation..... Cars today are almost comically better than they were even 25 years ago. Far safer, quieter and more efficient. For all the bitching people yammer on about when they complain about new vehicles being HARD TO FIX, what they mean is that you have to understand WTF a fuel injector and turbocharger is or you have to be strict about maintenance. That's it.

The American dream of owning land for cheap is available…right next door in Mexico…

IMG_8044.jpeg

Land is literally 120$ an acre roughly in Northern Mexico but of course, it comes with the security and cultural barriers. Coahuila is however one of the safest places in Mexico but all it takes is for another super-cartel to gain power and take over the state as the Zetas did in the mid 2000’s.

So yeah you could have 1,000 acres for 120 grand…in Mexico.

Central/South Texas land prices have gone out of wack from MAGABoomers starting in 2020 buying 20 acres and slapping a 800 square foot cabin for 750 grand as their anti-niggerpocalypse shed.
Hopefully they don’t find out about Mexico.

So you're saying this is where we start Josh's ideal commune, where we scam the government called Josh Land, where everything is perpetually stuck in the 2000 and 1990s? But who's going to run the mall?

"AMERICANS CAN'T OWN LAND IN MEXICO!"

Okay, before anyone points it out, I know that that's not entirely true - Americans can own land in Mexico, but it can't be within so many miles of the border or the coast.

1000056748.png

That's essentially a third of Coahuila that an American can't own. No clue where the one you posted is located.

Ain't it funny how they can have laws like that? They can restrict foreigners from owning land, but the moment one of theirs shits out a baby on our turf, we have to give them everything we can.

C4C can't be blamed for the state of the used car market today in 2026; the point of posting that is to just show the idiotic boomer mindset. All the good stuff from before the enshittification is taken for granted by them, and as a result, often treated like disposable goods even if it's valuable or been out of production for decades. As you said:
Boomers can't conceptualize 20-40 year skf inflation. They literally think everything costs about that it did 20-30 years ago.
They take stuff for granted.
We've gotten rid of heavy metals and other horrible nasty shit form building materials since the 1970s.
There are a lot of houses from the 70s onwards that are flimsy but (im not an architect so) it seems like new construction, 2020s residential construction, is orders of magnitude more dogshit. Absolutely heinous house of cards shit getting built across the US and sold or rented or leased at ridiculous prices
Transportation..... Cars today are almost comically better than they were even 25 years ago. Far safer, quieter and more efficient. For all the bitching people yammer on about when they complain about new vehicles being HARD TO FIX, what they mean is that you have to understand WTF a fuel injector and turbocharger is or you have to be strict about maintenance. That's it.
Nigga do you have your 5 senses? That might have been applicable in, say, the 1990s but today? The vast majority of new cars are crossovers which are an objectively bad body style, they're a pain in the ass to do bodywork on because the metal is all extremely thin gauge and much of it is of weird ass alloys that can't be welded like thick mild steel. And they use plastic for fucking EVERYTHING. There's NO REASON to have a plastic honeycomb CORE SUPPORT. They also prescribe doodoo oil grades that make the engine shit itself (GM had a problem with that in their truck V8s recently) prematurely just because they want .2 more MPG, the styling is absolute trash across the board, and they spy on you. TELEMETRY. I just gotta say 1 word to prove why these things are hot dogshit, TELEMETRY. Google it. They track all your driving, pedal movements, etc. and send that shit to the insurance company so they can squeeze you out of both your freedom and your money. Speaking of that they have too many electronics, but everybody knows that. And touchscreens are dogshit (unless its the CRT one in the 80s Rivieras those are fire).
or you have to be strict about maintenance

fuck the SUVs those can get crushed lol but the minivans don't seem that bad for dailies aside from their rust issues afaik

I think it's got a hair more nuance than that, I'm also guilty of malding when seeing the various clips of a work day that consisted of basically free snacks and drinks and a 30 minute window of what may or may not be work in a 6 hour work day and that's considered routine and usual.

It's like putting the boomer-vision glasses on and seeing how they see what I do for a living.
While also simultaneously thinking it'd be lovely to myself have a high paying job where I don't have to stay into the AMs sometimes to unfuck something.

I would LIKE to think that when people derisively say "Laptop class" they are typically thinking about someone who is the other side of the boomer coin, a modern liberal nepo-royal in an entirely make work occupation in silicon valley, entirely meant as an ideological reward or stasis shelf where if you miss a week all you've missed is 6 comped meals and two meetings about meetings.

And not John the IT guy or Sally the accounts woman, who if they miss a week they are absolutely fired because very expensive shit was not tended to. Whether it be hardware or clients.


I do get sick to my ass of a lot of those same people banging the "Go into the trades" drum though. Ignoring the current economy and they often have zero ancillary advice about looking for gaps in services and questioning if the area they live or want to live in even has the average income or desire to pay up, or if any company in commute distance is even hiring local anymore.

My brother lives in a place where every other house the plumbing is fucked and they're practically doing prayers and rituals over it that it won't backflood into the basement for just one more day - Being a plumber for hire in this area would also be retarded because no one can- or doesn't want to pay a plumber the rates they'd charge no matter how cut rate because the area is on the poorer side too.

"Just do trades bro" is not a one size fits all band-aid and it's new wave boomer tier advice if given with no elaboration.

Most trade jobs suck. The ones that don’t suck have a long line of applicants. The six figure apprenticeships are just bullshit, those are purely within the journeyman or crew leader type of classifications. Most trade jobs like plumbers, electricians, etc. have a wide gulf between union and nonunion. Mike Rowe is referring to the union jobs. Those are pretty sweet but by your 40s, you’ll have had several surgeries for back, knee, etc. issues. If you’re in your 50s, you can barely fucking move. You make $150k by the time you’re 25 but you can barely function by 50, no choice but to retire by 60. It’s fucking wild.

Most trade jobs are nonunion which means the pay is lower, the benefits are fewer, you’re more likely to get laid off and you’re competing against spics who do a shittier job but they’ll claim to be a plumber for $15 an hour. He’s going to do a shitty job but he doesn’t even know the term “health insurance” and hey, if the superintendent doesn’t need plumbing work done, his ass can just hang out at The Home Depot to see if someone else needs a “plumber” for today.

Anyone who romanticizes the trades are larpers like Mike Rowe who never rolled up his sleeves and did a day of honest work in his life.
 
No "kid" in an apprenticeship is making six figures annually.
No, but you can get there within 5 years of finishing a 7 month school that will only cost you about 15k to attend, ask me how I know. Also the unbording process is, generally, so smooth. No LinkedIn Indian izzat farming or HR dick sucking bullshit. It's not a golden road, entry level pay is rough because of the amount of rent seaking parasites like middle managers who've inserted themselves into the process, and you've gotta be willing to learn but modern manufacturing is more sophisticated than most people understand.
And of course, unlike a corporate job, your body will wear out a million times faster.
Not if you aren't retarded. Learn CAD and CAM software on the job and by 30 you can be up in the mezzanine in a computer chair, it's called career progression.
It's sour grapes. Niggas also don't understand you aren't paid for labor, it's knowledge in those jobs.
You have no concept of how much real, practical, hard scientific knowledge goes into creating the physical world around you. Go look at a 5 axis milling center. The level of intelligence required to program and set up those machines is easily on par or higher than the baseline required to do 90% of office jobs.

Seeing zoomers shit on trades is retarded, you are doubling down on the exact "I'm too good for that, I have no idea what it actually entails but it's a shit job" boomer mindset that ruined this country. I got into the trades in part because every retarded boomer was telling me and every other kid my age that college and an office or medical job was the only way to a good life. Not being a retard myself I could see that if everyone was trying to get those jobs we would end up in the musical chairs game that white collar jobs have become. I decided to side step that and it hasn't been bad. Obviously the boomer economy effects everyone and I feel the squeeze but I have a real skill set that can weather any storm. If I survive the nuclear war I'll still be in whatever the new middle class looks like.

Edit: obviously I'm talking about one trade, I can't speak as much to plumbers or electricians, but the buddies I have in those trades don't seem to regret their choices either. I can't say the same for about 40% of my highschool friends who did take the boomer advice and saddled themselves with $80k-$100k of debt before they earned a penny

And they use plastic for fucking EVERYTHING. There's NO REASON to have a plastic honeycomb CORE SUPPORT. They also prescribe doodoo oil grades that make the engine shit itself (GM had a problem with that in their truck V8s recently) prematurely just because they want .2 more MPG, the styling is absolute trash across the board, and they spy on you. TELEMETRY. I just gotta say 1 word to prove why these things are hot dogshit, TELEMETRY
If your car can talk to an App it has TELEMETRY because it has a FUCKING CELL MODEM IN IT. Just like the little cell modem you carry around all day that's always listening to you.....

Crossovers are tall hatchbacks, the best body style.

Cars are steel with aluminum hoods and maybe aluminum body panels these days. The F-150 went to an aluminum body and bed a decade+ ago.

Sorry you can't weld for shit 🤣

Thin oil is to game Cafe and because modern engines are retardedly tight due to modern manufacturing tolerances.

In 2010 the Corolla had the same body panel gap standards as a 1990 Lexus LS400.... The A25 Toyota engine hits 40-41% thermal efficiency now naturally aspirated on 87 octane fuel.

Meanwhile that Plymouth you yearn after is rusted to dust on year 10 because it was a shit new. Ever wonder why you don't see Dodge Neons anymore, even though they were made into the mid 2000s? Because they were pieces of rolling shit.

Hell, I see more Cavaliers and Cobalts than I do Neons and Gen 1 Mazda 3s.
 
I think Mike is well meaning but he unfortunately does not understand what young people have to go through because of people his age. Scholarships for the trades are great but that still doesn't help if you still have to pay for basic living expenses that have been made out of reach by boomers. Food, housing, clothes, transportation etc is all considerably worse now. The problems we have are to great and only a full reset and un-boomerication will fix the west at this point.
Scholarships for most trades are pretty much useless... the real reason for those courses is the hands on work experience that opens up the door for people without contacts.
Anything taught in a classroom comes a distant second to that. I recall the local college tried to do away with the work experience part of one of their programs... think it was electrical. No one was hired from the graduating class and usually they had close to 80%.
 
https://youtube.com/watch?v=VqcDsA7P6Honot saying Jidion was right in any measure at all because he clearly wasn't and was acting like a total dickhead but all the stupid fucking boomers in the comments calling the dude that catches child predators wanting him in jail, frothing at the mouth for him to be punished, and defending the dirty squatter deserve to be clubbed upside the head real hard (if they aren't bots, of course)

Keep in mind these are the same people (if they are people) who will be the first to call YOU selfish, self centered, coddled, sheltered, or immature like they have something to prove...

Bodycam video commenters really are a different fucking breed. They eat this shit up the same way boomers eat up anything defending Israel. Calling the predator catcher a "pos" who needs to (insert prison rape fantasies here)? Really Gerald, do you really have nothing better to do? Schadenfriggers are a blight upon humanity.

emojis, the mark of a serious commenter.
I mean it makes sense. The grand majority of predators I’ve seen are bored boomers wanting to relive their teenage youth.
