  • They demand to be repaid for raising you. We didn’t chose to be put on this fucking world. They chose kids, it’s their responsibility. We owe them nothing. “But we love you.” Then fucking show it instead of making our lives miserable. Give love, get love back. Give shit, demand love back? That’s not how it works. “But everything we do, we do with good intentions.” Impact weighs heavier than intentions. They prioritize their own wishes over the happiness of their kids. I hate religion, but I like the expression “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”. Something especially boomers will never understand. And sadly many more in this world. Compassion and accepting others for who they are, the way they are and want to be, are sadly rare these days. My goal in life is to show it still exists. And I have many good friends because of it.


  • I know some proper boomer parents but they are rare AF.

    My parents paid everything for my perfect brother when he went studying. He had a luxurious life as a student.

    I failed in school, because I was special (autistic later turned out) but should have acted like nothing was wrong. So I didn’t get a penny when I couldn’t eat for a week because I was completely broke. Instead they told me. To get my shit together, act like an adult for once and take responsibility for my actions.

    So far they never acknowledged they ever made a single mistake, they project all their mistakes and failures into me or others, they complain constantly like spoiled entitled teenagers and they do nothing but judge people who are less fortunate.

    I’m 38 now, they still tell me I’m behaving like a child even though I always say sorry for the mistakes I make, I always take responsibility and acknowledge when I’m wrong. I fought in wars (in the military), I have fought mental health my entire life, I struggled within the system my whole life, I have loads of friends who I’d die for and who’d die for me, while my parents have no one and are just a bunch of entitled sour lonely fucking boomers. Who’s the responsible adult here? Although I doubted myself many many times, my therapists and friends have ensured me it’s them, not me. And I started to see that too, so I ended my relationship with my parents for good. And with my entitled little brother who always takes my mom’s side no matter what.




  • I pay zero taxes if I were to sell my house. Because I don’t own a house, I can’t afford one. I’m forced to rent.

    My boomer parents constantly complain their pension is shit. They have to watch their spendings, they tell me. They live in a big house, surrounded by water and nature (in the Netherlands, so expensive AF), with a sailing boat AND an expensive motorboat in front of their house, an SUV and caravan, they completely remodeled their garden including expensive fences, they go on holiday about 5 times a year, they got solar panels and heat pump installed, got a new kitchen, bathroom and toilet, expensive automated sun screens for all their windows (all around the house). But they are treated like shit with their poor pension. My dad bought his first house when he finished his studies, my mom never had to work anymore as my dad made more than enough to support a household of 5, we always lived in middle class neighborhoods, we went to private schools. But they complain they have to buy fuel to come visit me, so they rather have me visit them instead. I live in social housing and struggle every month paying my bills. They never gave me a penny as soon as I left the house as I’m a major disappointment, even though I’m financially and mentally struggling (autism, ADHD, PTSD). They even changed their will because I’m such a disappointment so I will get the bare minimum and my perfect younger brother gets almost everything even though he makes loads of money every month.

    I don’t give a fuck. I don’t want anything from them when they die. I’m not complaining about not getting anything. I’m just complaining their love for me is measured in success and that they are privileged fucks who constantly complain about their sad rich lives while many others are actually struggling and they don’t give a fuck about them. They are an example of what’s wrong with society. I broke off all contact with them. Fucking boomers. They even turned full right wing racists even though their parents and grandparents fought in the resistance during the second world war and got deported and tortured to death by the nazis in concentration camps.



  • “Oh no, a platform with options, why would anyone want options?”

    Go buy a MacBook if you like basic functions. Yt music is getting closer to old fashioned but amazing Winamp. I praise them for it. With one menu button you have all the options 1 click away. No submenu’s, no 5 different menu’s, just one with everything. How can you complain about this? I’d say that’s mild infuriating. “oh look, a platform is doing something right, let’s make fun of them because I just wat a play and pause function and nothing more.”







  • Maybe good in a country that has barily any walking or cycling infrastructure, where every idiot has a gun and where all the biggest serial killers originate from. And where recently your kid can be kidnapped by unmarked unrecognizable fake police and sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador without any legal process.

    But when you live in a first world country, your 8 year old should be able to go to school by bike on his own without issues what so ever, would never be kidnapped and would be brought home by a concerned neighbor when he falls and get injured. And would never get lost. You don’t need an air tag for that. I’ve even seen kids go to school on their own in Cambodia without issues. They have over 40 different deadly snakes including 6 types of cobras.

    When you treat a kid as an irresponsible criminal and/or idiot, that’s what they will become.
