As someone who works retail, I don't really like Boomer apologia (hexbear.net)

"Generational politics is bull..."

90% of my bad experiences with customers come from Boomers. Something about being born in that era makes you an entitled, impatient dickhead.

I had a very bad day at work if you couldn't tell.

I've had a similar awakening about my father. You either grow up and become your parents or grow up in opposition to them.

That one meme where the dad is shielding his kid from whatever the previous generations are saying is kind of true. Like my dad had a lot of horrible things happen to him in his formation that definitely shaped him, and while he's an idiot he did shield me from a lot of those same things. He did the best he could is what I'm saying. He fell into chuddom but he didn't do a lot of other horrible shit bad parents do.

I think the best I can do to honor the guy is actually look at what my dad experienced, learn from that it and leave what didn't work behind.
