        I saw some graffiti that simply read “DEATHMAXXING?” and I still think about that pretty regularly

        An entertaining thing to do is to give a *-maxxing individual addition nal 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.

        Nope. A boomer is anybody older than you whom you disagree with, just like millennials are those younger than you who you disagree with and Gen Z are those younger than you who uses a social network you dislike.

        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 (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.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

          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.

          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.

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

          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.

            According to sources, and by that I meam wikipedia, gen x is up to 1980. Me being born four months before that line is very young gen x or very old millennial. Considering how I started uni when I was 25 most of my contemporaries are millennials, so I kind if feel like that my self

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

        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        It’s always been a dismissive term for an older person with outdated ideas.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.

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

            No, it hasn’t. Boomer and Baby Boomer are two different things.

            The fact that you can’t accept the new lingo basically makes you a boomer.
