i dont get up that early but i think my ideal time might be 5:30 or 6 because i like being awake early and reading and stuff. also means i can go outside without dying in the summer
I have to be up at 4:30AM-ish for work at 6AM, but I also actually just go to sleep around 3pm and wake up around midnight or earlier rather than right before work :shrug-outta-hecks:
I know those :grillman: . They're everywhere around where I live. If you're asleep when they're awake, they see you as a "lowlife" or worse. They're such petty people that keep obsessing about my place not being surrounded by fuzzy green rectangles of glyphosate and obedience and keep calling the local government about code violations such as feeding insects and birds and people without homes.
Exactly!!! Oh man that lead did a number on them. Every cliche from the "i turned out fine" to "shake the manager's hand" you name it. None of it ever made sense to me growing up
Lead, high fructose corn syrup (from the crib) https://hative.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/vintage-ads/vintage-7up-baby-drinking-advert-24.jpg partially hydrogenated soybean oils, Lysol sprayed everywhere, including on the aforementioned Monsanto products, yes it did a number on them.
Oh man, my mom compulsively sprayed Lysol on everything (OCD compounded by massive psychological and emotional conditions). I still can't stand that stuff, and I'm sure inhaling it has taken years off my life lol
I honestly think older people are simpler. Maybe it's older people in general, or maybe just boomers, idk.
Regardless of the politics/desire of the old person in question, the magnitude and intricacy of their politics always seem far less developed. The racist boomers seem less overtly and consciously racist than the ones from Generation Z(yklon) and the conspiracy minded ones seem to only go as far as George Carlin type bits.
Wignat-ism is a uniquely Millennial and below phenomenon, maybe bleeding into Xers. Same with the most analytical and convoluted schizo-brain conspiracists (who are admittedly sometimes right or have valid points)
Gardening/lawn care also displays this divide. Boomers just mindlessly mow their lawn because "that's what you do" and in my exprnce don't actually pay any attention to the weather conditions or specific things they need to do to get a very nice lush lawn.
As an example, Boomers will mow their lawn in the middle of a drought. Ignore the environmental stuff, just think about only the lawn itself. This damages the lawn by worsening water loss.
The boomers will not mow their lawn any less frequently to compensate for the drought.
They will also not water extra in order to compensate for the drought.
They will also not alter their behavior and leave the lawn clippings in place to reflect a bit more sunlight and prevent some water from escaping the grass. They will bag them up and dumpster them as always.
Ignoring all environmental concerns, even from the position of "I want the best for my lawn", Boomers are a failure.
They just know to mow, and maybe to pay a guy to do their thinking for them. They're not even addicted to having nice lawns, they're just addicted to doing activity (much like consume product) because activity must be done. Just do activity and wait for next date of mandated activity

my dad isn't even from the west and I was simply describing him (although I see the same things in boomers everywhere)
for example you can easily get an amazing lawn by fertilizing occasionally with diluted piss, as long as you live in an overall rainy area where the salts will get washed out (which is true for me and I also eat a lowish salt diet which is really just a normal salt diet because normalcy has been pathologized and addiction normalized).
Doing so also saves flush water (the dilution water is just going back into the aquifer as opposed to being mixed with sewage).
Boomers don't do this and would probably riot at the thought of someone doing this
I live pretty far north and during the brightest part of summer I will often wake around 3:00-4:30 simply because that's when the sun comes up and waking up from sunshine is infinitely better than waking up from a discordant noice that just activates your fight-or-flight response. This of course leads to me also going to sleep earlier. That is a sane and sober defense for any individual person keeping these hours. I suspect it is unrelated to his reasons for being mad at people not following his schedule.
Yeah doing what makes sense for you in your part of the world is cool. Nothing wrong with whatever time you sleep or wake. I'm talking about this toxic boomer attitude that you should be up before dawn and be in bed early, and anyone who isn't conforming is lazy scum. I unfortunately was raised by people with this attitude
The same people who think you're lazy if you're not awake by 4:30 am
What the fuck do you have to be up at 4.30am for? Nobody else is awake and there's fuck all to do, it's a complete waste of time. I don't get it.
Old peoples biorhythms change, and they think that they're superior because of it + various boomer brain worms
People who work at bakeries for one.

Also garbage truck people.

Completely different if you work starts at ridiculous-oclock.

Yeah grew up with people like that
The people that say "generational differences are strictly illusory" are probably more likely to not have had :grillman: parents.

When I saw Moral Orel and saw the deeply traumatized and repressed mom spraying Lysol cans with Lysol, I was like :CoreMemory:.
:michael-laugh: same

Awake by 4:30 but still willing to stay at work until 11PM somehow.

People who wake up at 4:30 am are back in bed before 7pm.
