The boomer thing is real. My mother is currently blowing through generational money because "she deserves it", and we wont need money because "You do very well".
My wife's parents are rich, and keep telling them "all this money is yours someday". While actually giving their 40 year old children $0 so far.
The expectation of leaving your children better off than you were died with boomers and was reborn with Gen X.
Its the shittiest generation
Went trick-or-treating with my boys tonight, 2 and 5.
Saw the following
Family handing out ramen noodle packs
Mom on mobility scooter with 2 kids emptying complete buckets of candy, egging them on to "git it all boys"
Two 12-13ish aged girls, one dressed as an angel, one dressed as the devil. Both in dresses that showed their panties.
A pile of 16-17-18 year old boys with no costumes going door to door saying "give me candy"
A car hit a kid on a bike, no injuries.
Yeah, I think we trunk or treat next year
Just had the creepiest scam ever happen 20 minutes ago.
I got a call from my wife telling me she forgot her wallet and needed the credit card to pay for her gas.
Except my wife was at home with me, and drives a Tesla. Same voice, bit... off, weird cadence but 100% sounded just like her. If she wasn't there, and it wasn't about gas I would have fallen for it.
I entertained it for awhile to get more out of it, I was so confused. Must be some sort of voice deepfake. The responses were too fast for ai, I think it was a voice filter. I wish I had thought to record it.
The future is about to get fucked. Warn your loved ones, do verbal passwords with your kids.
Bit taken aback
