Good ol’ religion. Compliance or being beaten. Like if god would actually give a shit if you stood.

TIL there's a thing called standmaxing...

[–] yum@lemmy.eco.br 16 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You can -maxx pretty much anything nowadays. I'm currently replymaxxing

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

An entertaining thing to do is to give a *-maxxing individual additional opportunities to *. Then, if they do not take advantage of it, claim they are only *-averaging.

Anyway, I posted this zero seconds ago and I don't see a reply yet.

TIL I've been Sitmaxxing my entire life. I never miss an opportunity.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 hours ago

I love sitting so fucking much. 99% of my jobs have been on my feet for the whole day.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 6 hours ago

OOP should've made his stand fight his dad. Smh

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Standmaxxing will be required at my funeral.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 hours ago

At my funeral there will be no seats. Only other empty coffins i has rented for my special occasion. Everyone will get to lay in a coffin with me at the same time.

By "like this" I assume anon means "this bad at raising their kids to be sane and decent people".

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 22 points 16 hours ago (5 children)

If anon's parents are boomers, wouldn't that make them at least thirty?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Boomer, used as a pejorative term, doesn't mean someone born between 1946 and 1964. It never has.

It's always been a dismissive term for an older person with outdated ideas. Every young generation has one.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

No, it always has. Some dumb kids just thought that it meant "anyone over the age of thirty," which is dumb.

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 13 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

I (46) was jokingly called a boomer by a 25ish at work and quitely told her I am GenX. Her reply was whats that? (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.

The opinion was me not wanting to use AI but rely on my own knowledge in an area I quite frankly am close to being an expert in. No dunning Kruger expert either.

And I am born august 79 so neither really gen x or millennial

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

1980 here. I consider myself genx. I'm on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter. For me that's where millennial begins.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 0 points 4 hours ago

It's because boomer != baby boomer. It's basically the same term as fogie or old-timer. Just the youths dismissive perjorative for older generations.

We all had one.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

It's ironic that wanting to use one's own brain makes someone a "boomer." I know not all baby boomers are as intellectually-lazy as the ones I grew up under, but considering that's one trait that I've seen a lot from that cohort, this is weird to see.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The term boomer is going to outlive boomers, so all you Gen X, millennials, etc get used to being called that.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 hours ago

Its okay. Hope the people younger then me have fun however they can. Play safe yall, the world is a dangerous place.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

1979 is solidly Gen X by any definition.

But yeah, oof.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, but that does require the assumption that a person who is standmaxxing does use the term boomer correctly.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 10 points 13 hours ago

Boomermaxxing

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

You're never too old to practice Standmaxxing™️!
