Op's post:

For example, my next door neighbor is a guy who's in his mid 30's. But he acts like a legit boomer. His Facebook is nothing but posts about how "Darn millennials wearing their skinny jeans and drinking their soy lattes" (ironic coming from a millennial), his lack of understanding that I don't want him parking all his shit in my yard which he defends as "I've lived here longer, I can park my trailers wherever I want", and his comments about how my tattoos are going to ruin my life. Anyone else ever meet non boomers who act like boomers?

Yes. A lot of people just turn into their parents, the good and the bad.

To avoid slipping into the boomer mentality it requires constant introspection and always questioning why you feel the way you do about things, rather than just forming an opinion and justifying it from there

Lots of people patting themselves on the back in the thread, and also the entire sub. Might be tied with childfree for being the pettiest sub on reddit.

Dalke printed out top secret documents, and after leaving, he offered to sell them for $85,000 to an individual he believed was a Russian agent

For 85k why not just fricking go to work instead? I'm the laziest person in the world and even I'm not this pathetic.

Watching police physically rip N95 masks off protesters faces during an ongoing pandemic should make it *extremely* clear how unserious anyone calling disabled people "cops" for telling others to mask is https://t.co/eC0NuoRCYM

Also, obligatory:

A man was joking around one night and asked a group of us each what superpower we would like to have. Lots of people said to fly, shoot bullets from their fingers, one person said to dispense ranch dressing from their navel. I said to be invisable to men. I killed the party mood.

The last few days on Twitter people have been mocking women who think that they'd be safer lost in the woods next to a bear than a random man.

Of course women will jump into these conversations and say "but men bad" and get flamed, then cry about how mean the internet is to the mentally handicapped.

Today, I saw this one, who seemingly proudly announces that she purposefully buzzkills parties.

Be warned I do not endorse Brandon Herrera for being Maddox's brother and being an akcel loser grifter but any ar content that makes more 2A curious Patriots into disciplined riflemen the better

I don't actually know a lot about this show, but I think I could take all of them, all at once. And not in a self-defense situation.

I always see people on plebbit shilling their books on different writing subs for their stuff on personal sites / amazon / royal road. Even on non writing subs and people eat it up.

idk I'd feel cringe and weird shilling that but is that just me? Is it normal to accept it and do it as well? Is it autism??? (yes)

Congratulations on being the first person to do something with AI that will directly make my own, personal life worse. You are a monster.

An AI that makes the internet even worse than it is! Congrats to the team.

You're a horrible person. Your mother should be crying. You're the vanguard of a trend that will damage the mental health of millions or billions, especially if taken at all farther.

AI posing as human customers to promote your product on the web is fraud, change my mind.

This should be illegal.

Nobody wants this

You are helping to ruin society , not that you care
