Did some IT contracting once for an ancient miser-lich geezer. 3-piece suit in the house type fella, prolly some baron of a technology we’ve forgotten how to pronounce or some shit, lol, dude was comically old.
Blew ass just constantly and had no idea. Smiling and exchanging pleasantries? Imagine a few notes on a keyboard, an amateur noodling around - textbook, permanently fungible farts. No acknowledgement or apology.
Turning and walking across the room? A growing crescendo, with budding themes that begin to hint at the grace and mastery of the performance to come.
Reaching and lowering to a position of rest - ah, the virtuoso has now begun. May we listen, and weep.
It was a surreal experience. Like a deaf, grinning, be-suited Mongolian throat singer, if one of the otherworldly tones came from his butt.
I think the trope of ‘OK boomer’ etc is largely bullshit. I know plenty of old folks who are largely supportive of young people and are getting a rough deal from 20 somethings who assume they’re dicks because they don’t get really interact with them. The folks who first marched against racism and homophobia are well into their twilight years.
many boomers at the protests. The good ones are still around.
Not me. As I gotten older I’ve actually somehow managed to give less fucks about what other people do with their lives. Shits not my business
Just an observation, but it’s interesting you felt compelled to say something.
You posted a statement claiming to know how older people think - he was correcting your arrogant assumption.
Well, it was more of a shower thought than a statement. But it is interesting that you’ve attributed such specific intent to it.
It is also interesting how twice in this thread you express interest on the fact that people comment, as a way to tell them “nice argument, unfortunately I’ve already depicted you as the soyjack” BUT without having the courage to explicitly do so.
Relevant example for fellow interest-minded people:
What a peculiar and definite conclusion you’ve made, asking no questions and making no queries!
I don’t see your implied contradiction here.
They said they’re not interested in other people’s shot whilst responding to a shower thought about their shit. 💁♂️
you know I have been reading this which got me to read his user over all and its close but his argument here has convinced me. Im going to be a good old person and not interact with him. Im blocking and moving on.
Hmmm. This is a very interesting approach to a minor, arguably self-inflicted inconvenience.
No, I fart louder by choice.
Can confirm I ain’t got time to hold in a fart.
Tell me about your sneezes.
William James might suggest that this is just cognitive bias.
Not true.
Your ass gets looser over time. Get old enough and they’re all silent but deadly.
Interesting.
Your ass doesn’t get looser over time unless you’re doing something to it or with it
Don’t poop, I guess. Especially if you regularly hold it for 3 days.
I dunno, personally, I think I’ve stopped letting things work me up.
The only things that seem to get louder are my joints and back.
I’ve had the opposite experience. Old people fart all the time and just don’t give a shit. Unless middle age is what you mean by “older”, in which case I agree.
For a post about farting this is definitely a shitpost.
and young people are idiotic amoral cunts
until they grow up
do you see a pattern?
I’m afraid I don’t. Could you explain the pattern?
Have you gotten older? How many “older” people have you interviewed to come to this assumption?
I’ve not gotten older, no. Interesting.
I never farted quietly when I was younger, I’m not about to start now!
I will concede the farting.
TBF no one gets younger so this must apply to pretty much anyone …
