They're so special.

As much as boomers and millennials seem to love warring on the internet over who screwed the world up, we can't let ourselves forget how awesome old people can be, especially when they attempt to use some new kind of tech for the first time. It's also important to remember that we're all going to be boomers some day—time will make sure of that. And hopefully in the decades to come, when millennials inevitably hold the boomer torch, we'll end up on meme pages that poke fun at our little incompet…

Ok Boomer

Anyone who has applied for a job in the past couple of years knows it's a very tricky process. So much goes into job hunting, and it's not as simple as being the most qualified person for a position. Job interviews sometimes feel like they're taking place in an alternate reality; how you articulate yourself must be carefully curated to make you sound like a good worker. It's unnatural, but it's a bare necessity if you're going to get a job. With remote work becoming far more common, competition…

Good luck with that

Generation X is the most frequently forgotten generation whenever Generations discourse comes up. Now, all everybody cares about is Baby Boomers, Millenials, and Gen Z, and their various quirks and Gen X is so often ignored. And honestly? That's probably for the best. Generation X used to be the “kids these days” who served as the punching bag for complaints about how the youth are bad now. I will give Gen X credit for having the angstiest “disaffected kids” media. Clerks , Reality Bites , Trai…

Facebook isn't quite as popular as it once was, especially considering it started as a social platform for college students to connect with each other. That was a long time ago. These days, Facebook feels like it's been largely abandoned by everyone but Aunt Barb and her bible studies friends. If you've ever wondered what Facebook might look like if (or when) it's eventually taken over by people over the age of 65 who can't tell the difference between the Google search engine and a DM with a di…

Anyone who has worked as a waiter knows that people who don't tip are the worst. In the United States, many waiters only get paid $2 hourly and, therefore, only survive on tips. Some restaurants don't even pay their servers an hourly wage. This is basically common knowledge at this point, so for most people, not tipping is simply out of the question. But there are always those people who get angry for the insistence that they tip. I find that these come from two camps. The first camp is Boomers…

Did you know that gossip columnist Perez Hilton originally coined the term "amazeballs"? I find this news to be devastating, as I could have never guessed that such a swag slang term would've come from the mind of one of society's most nefarious journalists. In hindsight, it's horrifying that we just sat back and let him say everything he said about Britney Spears . Granted, most of us were mere children when it occurred, but we still should have done something about it. Since his now long pass…

Reel it in

Golden years

When neighbors start talking, hilarious things happen. This should have been Nextdoor's slogan, because the app is full of priceless posts full of pettiness, gossip, and bizarre observations. Whatever the original intent of the app was is irrelevant at this point, because there's no arguing that Nextdoor's social platform has become a comedy goldmine. Twitter account @bestofnextdoor does the best job compiling all the different gems the app's users find, and we've selected some of our recent fa…

Baby Boomers are defending Millennials? It's a Reddit miracle.

The state of LinkedIn is grim

Ew

If you've ever perused the t-shirt section at your local Goodwill Superstore, there is a good chance you've seen a boomer-core shirt . The Baby Boomer generation is very likely the first generation to express their angst via t-shirts . Think about it: anti-Vietnam War protesters? The Gay Liberation Front? Would these movements have been possible without Boomers wearing t-shirts that clearly articulated their opinions? I don't think so. Since their youth, the boomer t-shirt industry has grown in…
