Language evolves, the meaning of words change. It’s a natural part of the evolution of language over time. You say hang up the phone or dial a phone number, don’t you? But you don’t literally hang up a phone when you’re done with it or turn a literal dial anymore. But they used to work that way, so we still use that language even though the original meaning is lost.

I would argue that although this phrase originated from dismissing the opinions of actual boomers, it’s become a convenient shorthand way of calling someone out of touch with current social trends without having to adapt new phrases every time a new generation takes the place of the boomers as being out of touch.

Good. Fuckem. They make shitty, oversized trucks that are a danger to pedestrians and people who drive reasonably sized cars anyway.

To be honest, following instructions from scammers couldn’t be much worse than doing what the real Marco Rubio says.

Always look both ways, no matter how long the light has been green. I need to see you’re paying attention though, that’s the thing. So many people in the front of the line are sitting on their phone so sleeping or whatever the fuck. It’s pretty obvious when someone is just checking the intersection before moving vs. not even looking at the damn road.

This goes for more than just driving too. If you’re next in line at the café and you can’t be fucked to think about anyone behind you while you finish sending a text or whatever while the server is waiting to take your order, you’re an asshole. Make your order, pay, then do what you want to do.

Because many people cannot distinguish between word salads and insight.

No thanks. I’d rather drown.

I was handed a water bottle the.other day at a volunteer event and was lamenting the fact that in the US, we don’t have attached caps. I almost immediately lost mine. It’s possible to make them attached, AND not suck.

I’ve not been paying attention to the memeverse lately and having returned now to find that Möth is a thing again just warms my heart. Like a 1000W sodium lamp.
