“Generational politics is bull…”

90% of my bad experiences with customers come from Boomers. Something about being born in that era makes you an entitled, impatient dickhead.

I had a very bad day at work if you couldn’t tell.

    this technology has been widespread for at least 15 years

    I hate being the “tech guy” in my family/neighborhood because I’m younger than these Boomers. You had like a 40 year head start on me to figure this shit out? What the fuck have you been doing? You know more about your TV and iPhone than I do! Why are you so incapable of understanding things? I don’t have to ask the zoomer doomer coomers nearby whenever I can’t figure out where to find a setting.

    And what the hell is with the technobabble they use to talk to each other? “My son said you have to restart your IP address to free up the RAM so that it doesn’t interfere with your hard drive signal or Wi-Fi.” Mom no, what the fuck? That’s not…that’s not even close to what I said. “Oh okay well the modem is giving me a blue screen error so maybe it’s the process capacitor. Can you have him come look at it later?”

      technobabble

      On a side note, but I fucking hate how bad it is media. It’s just so awful. I think I was watching a marvelslop show and the technobabble was so bad in situations that just didn’t need it to be. Like, you could have done the tiniest amount of research and you DIDN’T? Not even the slightest, so something could make sense? Is this how science sounds like to “normal” people? Nonsense?? I think a lot of normal shows that aren’t scifi/capeshit are guilty of this terrible practice too.

      Actually, I do wonder if the combination of age, bad education, social media brainrot and the god-awful proliferation of technobabble on TV shows has something to do with what you mentioned? It’s just so painful.
