And all the Boomer parents cry out in unison: "Remember when I told you 'someday you may regret posing that photo of yourself doing a kegstand'? That day has come."
Meanwhile those same boomers post everything and anything they do including things about other people without asking prior to said posting if others want it online [forever] because boomers have the same amount of opsec awareness as a toddler.
Boomers don't have to care anymore because they're all retired.
My parents only cared inasmuch they were worried my facebook page would affect my career prospects. But my boss* at the time was friends with me on facebook, so he already knew and didn't care.
*A former sailor in his 50s who used to tell stories about his days "riding the rails" when he was stationed in Thailand. Anything I did paled in comparison to the stuff he told me about.

And thanks to the fact that we live in a hell world, if you don't have a Facebook that shows regular activity then you have a very solid chance of losing career prospects because that is used as a judgement basis in a lot of hiring.

I tried explaining to my parents that a civil war/societal collapse is coming soon and they think I'm hysterical. They think the fact that I want a firearm to defend myself with, means that I must be actively seeking out conflict.
They are retired. They lived their best years during the greatest period of prosperity in human history. I am living my prime years in the decline of an empire, waiting for a violent collapse to happen, watching the American Dream slip further and further away into the darkness.
It is infuriating that even though they see liberals as dangerous idealogues, they have absolutely no clue just how bloodthirsty and zealous they are. They see them as just dumb young people in a phase like hippies. They don't see them for the Bolsheviks that came before.
As I see friends and acquaintances my age perennially act as though it's 2004 I start to understand this mindset a bit more.
Boomers had the TV, my friends have The Seattle Stranger or whatever random blogger they started reading in college. In both cases, it keeps their frame of reference static.

"Riding the rails" sounds like it has something to do with receiving anal from ladyboys to my uninitiated ear.
Me: "Riding the rails?"
Him: "You know, laying Thais"
Man loved his puns.
Puns are the lowest form of comedy, unless you thought of it first.
I got a genuine chuckle out of the joke, but isn't 'riding the rails' a euphemism for catching a ride on a freight train, not laying a track?
