Cyks: Mar 17, 2008; The trenches of IT can scar a muppet for life

I'm pretty certain the whole "okay, Boomer" thing originated from Gen Z anyways but it doesn't stop everyone from calling millennials ageists. Really though defining people by a 15 year age gap is dumb and Boomer has just turned into slang for older conservatives and Millennials are just younger progressives, relative to the speaker.

It's almost like life is on a bell curve. You start life not being able to drive or vote, then you can do those things, and as you hit your retirement you lose those things again.

I wouldn't care about 'ok boomer' that much if boomers weren't going absolutely apeshit over it.

But after seeing all the butthurt complaining? Holy poo poo post 'ok boomer' on every Facebook page in the land.

As an old white person I can tell you it is 100% ok to make fun of old white people in any context or with any language. Old white people are the absolute loving worst.

The real joke of OK Boomer is saying it to people younger than boomers, though.

The fact that a Marine was using the website to recruit nazis, and not the other way around, pretty much sums up my belief about the prevalence of active duty proud-and-out skinhead grunts:

The age element of it is just that that lived experience was 40-60 years ago and it's infuriating to see people who think the only thing that's changed on the world is that they've gotten older.

Oh gods, I wish this were the case. Judging by Facebook neighborhood groups and NextDoor, the world absolutely has changed since they were kids: the crime rate has skyrocketed; young people have become insufferably entitled, always whining about their need for "health care" and "affordable homes"; marriage and gender have been corrupted from their true, eternal, and totally not culturally-defined meanings; and the city putting in bike lanes is a direct attack on the American way of life.

I'm still 100% certain millennials will come to be known for having the same laughably out of touch perspective. For every millennial I know who is paying attention and trying to fight for a better future, nine are startlingly complacent and risk going full Boomer if anything pulls them out of their bubble.

All my hope Is riding on the kids that are in school right now. They seem to have ready realized the rest of us have dealt them a crappy hand and are already dealing with it very early on. Look at the Parkland kids and Grera.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/10/nikki-haley-claims-kelly-and-tillerson-tried-to-undermine-trump.html

quote:

Former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley claims in her new memoir that two of President Donald Trump�s senior advisers tried to subvert him in order to �save the country.�

Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly confided in Haley that they were trying to resist the president and encouraged her do the same, she wrote in her new book, �With All Due Respect,� which comes out on Tuesday.

�Kelly and Tillerson confided in me that when they resisted the president, they weren�t being insubordinate, they were trying to save the country,� Haley wrote.

All these concerned advisors just never realized that the 25th amendment existed I suppose.

Its gen z making fun of millenials for doing "kids these days" type things. The origin is being obnoxious about bitcoin just like boomers were/are about gold, the second instance is about arena shooters is making fun of millenial gamers that don't like BRs and are trying to make UT/Quake a thing again as if its 2004.

Truly the best part of the boomer meme taking off right now is that it�s around 18 months old and boomers are only now learning about it.

600 troops to stay in Syria, while the US will be in Afghanistan indefinitely.

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/11/10/600-troops-now-set-remain-syria-indefinitely-top-general-says.html

Military.com posted:

Some 500-600 U.S. troops will remain in Syria indefinitely to prevent a resurgence of ISIS, Joint Chiefs Chairman Army Gen. Mark Milley said Sunday.

The U.S. commitment to preventing Afghanistan from becoming a terrorist base for attacks against the U.S. will also require a U.S. troop presence for at least the next several years, Milley said on ABC-TV's "This Week..

In addition, the buildup of forces in the Gulf region to counter threats from Iran will have to remain in place until a diplomatic settlement can be reached, Milley said.

Milley's remarks appeared to signal that U.S. national security interests would continue to require backup from the military despite President Donald Trump's oft-stated desire to take the U.S. out of the "endless wars" of the Middle East.

...

ISIS has since announced that Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Qurayshi was the new "caliph" and issued a warning to the U.S. uploaded on the Telegram app: "Do not be happy."

ISIS has "apparently replaced [Baghdadi] with another leader" and "we do have a considerable amount of information on that individual," Milley said.

On Afghanistan, Milley said the U.S. had an enduring commitment to ensure that the country will "never again be a safe haven" for terror groups aiming to attack the U.S. and its allies.

"That mission is not yet complete," Milley said. "I suspect it will be ongoing into the future for several more years."
