My grandfather was born in a village in Italy that literally had no running water or sewage until the 50's. He was over 18. He unironically pood in loo. He said one time him and some girl were making out in a field and while rolling in the grass, he rolled into a farmers shit pile. When he was a kid, he'd walk a mile or two just to get eggs, and at age 8 he started to walk around the village selling eggs, and sometimes when they needed the money, he'd walk up and down the road that ran by their village to sell eggs to pass bys driving between the major towns.
When I was 8, I saw in my pajamas until 10am eating breakfast cereal and playing vidya.
Point is, he came from an entirely different world from me, and I'll never understand it, nor experience it. If he saw me sitting around in pajamas at 10am, he'd literally not be able to comprehend why I'd be doing that when kids that age sold fruit and eggs from a basket.
That boomer is from an entirely different world then you, one that is as alien to you as shitting under a tree or walking 10 miles a day barefoot to sell eggs is to me.

Boomers gonna boom

Imma gen x'r and got a job at a company, at the time i was hired, was a lifetime golden ticket. The company paid very well and generally was super cash rich and low stress.
In the last 10 years all the old time execs have died or retired and the company is run top down by despicable globalists that has Expressly continuously fired the us workforce and hired in the 3rd world.
The while thing is falling apart and its a tragedy. Another American titan destroying what made it great.

There's something so innocent about this it actually makes me warm inside and brings a smile to my face. I do envy boomers in this regard honestly. A time before people were sent into mass hysteria and cynicism by the mass media and being terminally online. I wish it had happened to me. But the Gods bore me into this time for better or worse.

But yeah I see your point. We're from two completely different worlds. My boomer coworker would feel just as disoriented if I had to explain to him frog posting on anonymous image boards.

>>57065091
There is nothing innocent about that at all unless you have a shit fetish

>>57065114
I get what anon is saying.
>Two horny youths sneak looks at each other every day for months
>Probably gree up together

>2023: A horny dude tries to dm a chick who blocks him so he beats off alone before crying himself to sleep

>>57065114
He's not talking about rubbing his cock in the shit.

>>57064909
The world would be a better place if your coworker died on a ventilator in 2020. Don't even engage with him anymore.

I get your point, and its true its and entirely different generation with their own unique experiences and ways of thinking, but some things are just plainly bad, no matter if they existed 30 years ago or are just a product of a new era. My father spent 40 years in the same company that didn't even bat an eye at letting him go to hire a new, younger, manager. He wasn't sick and he still did his job with more efficiency than anyone else. Out of nowhere he had to train the kid that would occupy his job and was forced to retired. The company was more concerned that he would become a risk because he's almost 70, than they were of honoring a loyal and hard working employee. Its just as OP says, most companies will never commit to their employees the same way they expect people to commit to their jobs, because if it means a bigger paycheck, all the employees are replaceable. That's why this new generation favors working by themselves, sure, i may not have the same benefits as a big strong company, but at least i know that if im going trough a tough time i just have to work hard, and if my dexscreener gems moon then i will take all the profit. No big company to fuck me over

>be late teens/early 20s. Grow up in small rural Italian village. Before mass media. Before HD porn, Lookism, PUA, dating app bullshit..
> winter's thawed and it's early spring. Your childhood sweetheart agreed to go on a walk with you in the meadow just on the outskirts of the village.
>Hormones and youth raging. She's all you've ever known. You're walking along, laughing, playing, bantering. Things get hot and heavy and you fall over each other in the grass and start making out. You can feel the warm early spring sun on your face. You brush her hair behind her ear staring into the depths of her soul through the windows of her eyes.
>as you're rolling around together you accidently role in cow shit. She's laughing hysterically.
>it's disgusting and you're embarrassed, but you can't help but laugh too at how ridiculous the situation is.
>you'd give anything to watch her laugh and smile for eternity.
You're autistic anon. That's like something straight from a Romance movie.

>>57065155
This guy get's it.

>>57065304
I'm 26 and did stuff like this at 16, there are still fields. I just managed to avoid shit piles.

>>57064909
He is absolutely right. Not only are young people entitled and not willing to commit, their entitlement has made them delusional and more demanding than ever. In my field young people used to stay at the same place for years and work crazy hours and working crazy hours used to be the pride of my profession. Now getting someone to stay at the same place for six months is hard and everyone is working part time and taking vacations. We are afraid to commit. You can see it in relationships, choosing profession and staying in the same work place.

>>57065155
Fuck, that really sends it home, doesn't it.

>>57064909
Unapologetically take advantage of every benefit and opportunity your employer gives you, whether it's training, tuition reimbursement, retirement plan match, etc. You know they won't think twice about pushing your boundaries, so do the same right back. Put yourself first 100% of the time, because no one else will. Wish I had a role model/ mentor to teach me these things earlier in life... what can we do, besides help the next generation avoid the same pitfalls we fell into... WAGMI bros

>>57064909
No one will commit to us. Everywhere you go people just rugpull you. There's no nation, there's no community, there's just old people fucking you over.

>>57065349
Your parents didn't sell your country to Indians.
We have no homes, we have no women, we have nothing to spend the monopoly money you pay us in. Employment in the US has little if any value.

Got me an IT job at a very stable law firm. Make enough money to be more than comfortable since I don't buy useless shit. I'd pretty much have to pull my dick out to get fired.

>>57065632
I agree with you in a sense, people who think foreigners ruined the country just aren’t thinking big enough and are subject to the same flaws in thought as the confused boomers.

>>57064909
>Why are they like this? Maybe if companies were willing to commit to me I'd commit to them. If they'd invest in me then I'd invest in them.

we're making the right moves in our time and they were making the right moves in their time. it was a different world

>>57065827
>you just aren't thinking big enough
YOU aren't thinking big enough. Research any country which has mass immigration long term and you'll see how its ethnic demographics radically and permanently change. For starters look at India. They attempted to implement a caste system to keep apart the aryans and dravidians, but look how they ended up. Look at how Brazil ended up.
I agree with you in a sense in that the small term things like housing market and economy isn't largely impacted by that,but you're a fool if you think there won't be long term consequences of this.

>>57065827
Oh look, we found the retarded "diversity is our strength" midwit.

>>57064985
That's fucking disgusting I bet he didn't even have a basic knowledge of Windows or Mac. Imagine being that ignorant. No wonder he died. Bet his life insurance policy didn't even cover cowshit.

>>"it's not like when I was your age" he says
Tell that nigger when he was your age, Macy's perfume counter clerks bought houses and received a PENSION.

>>57064909
>>comments on how "your generation never wants to commit anywhere and just job hops"
I want a girl with big tits, a machine gun and millions of dollars, can you give me that? No? Okay boomer.

>>57064985
I shoveled shit at a farm for like 5 bucks, not 5 bucks an hour but 5 bucks for the ENTIRE job.
Those where the days, could buy a chips, soda pop and a candy bar with some change left over, girls where nice and wanted to be around you and people where happy you were happy with working and cleaning shit.
Now? lmao. At least when I was a teen it was hybrid of both vidya and work odd ball jobs.

>>57064909
milllenials don't want to be slavewagers.

>>57065155
Jews are to blame why we can’t have this anymore

>>57065114
>There is nothing innocent about that at all unless you have a shit fetish
Yes there was and the fact you think people got off to shit and not just remembering memories because a wiff of shit sends them back to the back then times says more about you than us.
The times where a primitive but boy where they simpler...Go play your nintendo.

>the average american is to blame, not corporate executives, academics, governments, lobbyists.
Genuine idiot.

>>57068526
Well considering that less than 50% of citizens will take a hard stance on immigration I definitely blame the average American.

>>57068654
Well when the government considers the br*wns in this country Americans id say the government is to blame

Moving from job to job has been the new meta for getting pay increases for like at least 10 years now

>>57065031
if it’s boeing Im not going

>>57068671
The majority of whites don't take a hard stance on immigration. Even the majority of "conservatives" don't.

>>57064995
>Why are you even entertaining the thoughts of lead brains for more than a few seconds
This. When I was getting some work done on my vehicle I had some boomer tell me he wasn't giving his kids any inheritance in his will. It took all of my might not to let him know that his kids will stick him in a shitty nursing home if he does that.

>>57065091
Boomers liveded and caused one of the most hysterical periods in the 60s with Vietnam protests and and the sexual revolution. I wouldn't call their era peaceful and well-reasoned.

>>57065349
Commit to what? A lifetime of shit wages and shit hours that won't afford you a house without a lifetime of servitude? The younger generations spending all their money on services is a subcounscious realisation of this fact and the futility of it

>>57064985
>have community
>have fields
>have village girls in said field
>have fruit and eggs
>no tv and poison
Yeah, that sounds like a different world indeed.

>>57067159
I'd blame this particular aspect on industrial society

Mckinsey are the anti American globalist at the heart of the destruction of the United States business.

why would you stay put when every place treats you as varying degrees of slave and the only tangible difference is pay so you naturally go get more pay

>He said one time him and some girl were making out in a field
did he have condoms

The sad part is you don’t even realize your grandfather had it better than all of us with 0 real responsibilities besides survival.
