i'm with her. my life is harder and more culturally significant than other people's. it can be universalized.

I think we all recall that brief but harrowing war and famine that involved everyone born in 1981, but hardly anyone else.

i was born in 89 but i have flecks of gray in my hair and beard now.

i identify as a geriatric millennial.
89? you are still just a baby. the real aging comes later
― Dan S, Thursday, 20 May 2021 01:22 (three years ago) link
I'm four years younger than the "geriatric" cutoff date, it's true. It is surprising how quickly you can slip from being a "vaguely young person" to a "generic adult".

you are at your peak right now and for the next several years, at least as I remember it

I'd say people ascend to a series of peaks of various types. i'd wager treesh has more and better peaks to come than he has yet in the rear view.

Boomers thinking it was their generation that landed on Utah Beach is one of the best ongoing bits in history.

I was wondering today, how have old people changed over the last few decades? The world changed enough during each of their lifetimes that someone born in 1901 (80 in 1981) would have had a very different perspective than someone born in 1941 (80 today). But the very old tend to be tarred by the same brush, and I don't know where to go to read further about this.

IME the record collections they’re selling off are getting better. Less Mantovani and more Black Sabbath.
― "The Pus/Worm" by The Smiths (hardcore dilettante), Monday, 5 July 2021 14:41 (two years ago) link
Sure, but are people raised on Black Sabbath a different kind of old person than the Mantovani fans? Or does conservatism always reassert itself in the aged?

This reminds me of my dad talking about his grandfather, complaining about "bloody Ben [i.e. Bing] Crosby" on the radio.

Faced with a shortage of workers, a small army of seniors in Sechelt is volunteering to cover shifts at restaurants and other small businesses, rather than see them close their doors because of a lack of workers. @Aaron_GlobalBC reports. https://t.co/xnoe97nBpc pic.twitter.com/3WmO3eChHo— Global BC (@GlobalBC) August 21, 2021

Maybe they should try paying higher wages.
― treeship., Tuesday, 24 August 2021 19:45 (two years ago) link
I was about to post wondering why they don't just work at the businesses rather than volunteering, but then I realized that would mess up their retirement/pension benefits... so yeah definitely the right thread, christ

was born in the middle of the 46-64 boomer time period. my high school class was the biggest in my town ever, before or after

The sunshine coast is really unaffordable if you're not an older transplant from the city, there's a decent amount of poverty and drug addiction in Sechelt.

I just Airbnb'd the downstairs of a semi-retired boomer couples house nearby for my wedding anniversary. So I've helped ruin the place for year round working class people I guess lol

We publish a magazine geared toward high schoolers, about college scholarships, budgeting money from your first job, etc.
The last issue had a feature comparing the habits of Boomers, X, Millennials and Z. Representing them were celebrities from each generation.
And they had TOM CRUISE and MICHAEL JORDAN representing Boomers, which, yeah, might be technically true, but C'MON.

she has a few more comics where millennials and z and boomers make an appearance. haven't found one with gen x yet!

Nah, those guys are definitely not Boomers. I will always maintain that the early '60s babies are a transitional generation. After all, a a baby boom cannot last 18 years, that is absurd.
Similarly, people born in the late '70s are not Gen X, they are an in-between generation.
