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.

That entire sub is basically "aren't old people super cringe you guise??"
Even worse is /r/millennials who are supposed to be in their 30s/40s by now and still act like they're in college.
All these cope subs are for people with severe arrested development.
It's nothing but impotently

I hate cute twink teenagers going through drive through and try to get them to engage in conversation if they seem reluctant or shy since it's funny. I also group their items in a way to ensure a slight price increase

You're probably causing them mental breakdowns. I read comments in there freaking out at any interaction that isn't texting

Hey, I saw that you just joined rdrama and a group of people who hate me are trying to smear my name by calling me a date male feminist. I just wanted to let you know that it's not true. If you want all the receipts proving it they're right here.
The TL;DR is that I hooked up with one of the hot girls on rdrama, and since I was twice her age, a lot of the guys here who wanted to bang her got jealous and assumed that the only way I could have managed that was by raping her, even though she herself said both before and afterwards that it was all completely consensual. So now that you're the new hot girl on rdrama, I guess they think that I'm going to somehow seduce you into flying all the way across the country (or some crazy shit like that) to hook up with me and they're trying to talk shit about me to make sure that doesnt happen. I don't understand it either, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm a nice guy and I hope you'll look at the evidence and make up your own mind instead of listening to all the jealous haters.
Anyway, with that little intro out of the way, welcome to rdrama! The culture's a little rough here and you're probably going to get tons of requests to •show boobsU but if you talk to some of the women here first before engaging with all the creepy dudes, they'll give you some good advice to avoid stalkers and predators. Or (If you haven't been scared off by the rumor mill) you're welcome to ask me and I'm happy to help.
Just out of curiosity, how did you find this place?
