Socks and sandals at the same time?




Like this? Look at all those Boomers. (I argue with my 12 year old granddaughter that socks with sandals are stupid all the time, she thinks I'm old and out of tough)

I'm old. Yea, I see a lot of gen-x using it. Regardless of age, it is a loud notification that is heard well in noisy places. While I want a loud notification, I find that one just downright abnoxious as all hell.

Is your self image, and feeling of inferiority, really so poor?  Is this what you call out in an age-ist attempt to feel better about yourself?

I realize the internet has given many the opportunity to feel better about themselves calling out others while also providing anonymity, but introspect a little.

And let me say, as a Boomer, a lot of us have seen more shit than I hope you will; and I pray you will not have to repeat the experience.

I'm sure that waiting in line at the grocery store behind someone who needs to use 87 coupons (half of which are expired) and then write a check,  hasn't started filling out the check, and doesn't have his glasses anyway,  is a pretty good indicator.

If you could get out of bed before the crack of noon you could beat the Boomer to the store and avoid all that.


I'm one of the poors who works nights. But if I get to the store after 4:30pm I'm usually safe because the guy I'm talking about has already had his pudding cup and went to sleep with Matlock or The Golden Girls on in the background.

Everytime I hear "boomer" I laugh.

Ive been a boomer for a while,

My daily routine is running each day and alternating distances of 1-2 miles. Then push-ups, sit-ups, leg lifts, and weights on alternate days,

Then there is range time 4 days a week with both pistol and rifle training sessions with our defensive/ tactical shooting group. 1000 rounds a week pistol and 600 rounds a week rifle.

And the best thing? My wife and I's social security allotted of $4,500 a month easily pays for all ammo as we use social security as spare change due to our long term investments footing our main stream income.

Can't wait for the huge social security increase brandon is giving us next year!

Thanks to all the gen x's, gen z's, and other young folks for paying into social security to support my shooting habits 100%!

Guess we were both wrong. Or maybe I'm wrong right now. Either way I'm clearly wrong one way or another

Send me your address I'll send you some pods, sorry kid


One thing that didn't change in generations-

We couldn't kick the greatest generations ass. They were bad mfs.

You can't kick our asses, you are all pussies. Makeup wearing, flip flop wearing sissies, that love the taste of dick.

Nah, it's just an ageist bigot showing his true colors and very ignorant of the fact that one day he too will be the laughing stock of the world as well.

And you've admitted to trolling over bait, that's a CoC no no there.

And see what by scrolling, more people taking to task over it? I must admit I really have enjoyed seeing your tossed stones being returned to you with the same courtesy one deserves for slinging poo.

Even my kid and my nephew and nieces have the good manners to not be bothered by your derangement. Be better than this and be an even better role model for your own kids.
