Lol imagine even remembering that Ok Boomer was a thing

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago

Empathy for the aged. That felt like two weeks ago to them.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

It still gets them very very mad if someone says it. No matter how arrogant and condescending their kicked-down-the-ladder-behind-them generational posturing gets, a single "ok boomer" can emotionally floor them to this day. ![grill-broke](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/25b7b753-fc47-45dd-8b7c-7536ad6b091c.png "emoji grill-broke")

The only way to avoid that is fumbling your Taylor.

You can not win.

We own you.

I really hope that "OK boomer" article is an older one because I don't even see people saying that anymore

Forget Israel, I need to write an opinion column about the most important issue pressing the world right now. Internet slang that died out two years ago

[-] GriffithDidNothingWrong@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

Just about done with my article about how Karen is misogynistic

We should bring it back because it was clearly effective.

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago

Nope, published October 8th of this year. But being 4-5 years behind on the state of memes is pretty on brand for a boomer.

Ever hear a 50something say "based" out loud in response to something racist? It hurts. ![grillman](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/b674f45a-ed3b-4a2b-995b-189c052d6d7f.png "emoji grillman")

Disclaimer: Yes I know officially-labeled boomers are older than that, but Xers of a certain economic and sociopolitical overlap have so much in common with boomers that it really is more a lifestyle than a specific age.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

Boomer has decoupled from the Baby Boom generation and is now more of an anti-ideology, an untheory of mind. A disphilosophy

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

disphilosophy

Neat word. I like it.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

When did boomers stop writing "Millenials are spoiled children who should be spanked because they're naughty" articles? 2019? 2022?

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

It should make a comeback considering that that article was written two days ago. Clearly it worked against that particular age/class demographic crossover. ![grill-broke](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/25b7b753-fc47-45dd-8b7c-7536ad6b091c.png "emoji grill-broke")

My favorite op-ed section is from the Guardian. Not because i give a shit about their opinions, but because they will have the most ghoulish headline and right next to it is a large picture of the author just staring at you

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Like an early 2000s Kubrick-staring Wheaties box face. ![kubrick-stare](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/f934ee83-db34-48cf-a6b0-24f72beec854.png "emoji kubrick-stare")

[-] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

the most ghoulish headline

Is adrian chiles the exception? Man's op-ed pieces are just random shitposts

[-] axont@hexbear.net 21 points 11 months ago

All of these people make $200k per year and their heads turn into a 1940s cartoon police whistle when they see a homeless person

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago

bedbugs are hard to get rid of i guess

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago
[-] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

Literally the same as the n word.

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

How sad is it when Maureen Dowd’s column is the least insane one currently on The NY Times op ed page?

[-] GriffithDidNothingWrong@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

It still makes me want to redacted myself

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

Thank god for this diverse array of valuable opinions! (this is what liberals actually believe)

[-] ComradeLove@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

It's just like that Twitter Parody Account of NYT headlines.

[-] BrezhnevsEyebrows@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

I really hope Travis fumbles Taylor, I'm so tired of hearing about them

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

I can just hear the wine glasses clinking together after Tommy finishes his editorial and needs drinky.
