At the back end of 69, I'm still not sure which is the more isolating, the relentless, cynical ageism of the young, or the cultural infantilization and internalized ageism of my fellow seniors.

Gleich klatscht es, aber kein Beifall! Die Inspo für den Post haben wir aus dem Hobbylos Podcast. Der Begriff Gute Käse wird bei Langenscheidt nur mit „richtig gut“ oder „stabil“ übersetzt, stammt aber eigentlich aus den Twitch-Streams von CoachLim. Männer sollten dort lernen, besser mit Frauen zu flirten. Als „gute Käse“ werden dort quasi schriftliche Köder bezeichnet, die Frauen (=Mäuse) anlocken und dazu bringen, mehr zu flirten.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange My friend, lessons don't necessarily *take*. After five *years* of weekly piano lessons, I cannot play piano. I can touch type, though. Both qwerty and ten-key. So it's obviously a musical deficit rather than lack of dexterity. The typing and piano lessons overlapped — I started piano in third grade and typing in fifth grade (on a manual typewriter, because I'm a #boomer and legally #blind).

Have been looking at getting a summer #cabin, perhaps good enough to work remotely three seasons, for a few years. The sad truth is, the #boomers bought the nice places in the 60/70:s, and those are not reaching the market, but are inherited. What does reach the market is mosquito-infested, moldy masonite hovels surrounded by thick fir woods miles from any water. Only exceptions are places where the #boomer kids can't get along at all and sell - and then priced higher than my #Stockholm home. #Luxury problem, I know, but so much of the #swedish culture still centers around having a "#summercabin", and it's sad to only briefly rent parts of it.

Ich bin ja schon ein paar Tage auf der Welt, #Boomer halt 🤷‍♂️😎 Aber ich habe noch keine #Bundesregierung so verabscheut wie die derzeitige.

This is Kos Samaras’ #analysis of the #AUstralian #ELectorate: “Gen Z is the most socially progressive generation in Australian history. On climate, on gender, on multiculturalism, on sexuality, the debates that consumed their parents are simply settled questions for them. However – and this is where most commentary gets them wrong – their progressivism is not primarily cultural. It is economic. This is a generation psychologically predisposed to economic populism: hostile to concentrated wealth, cynical about corporate power, convinced the housing market is rigged (because it is, against them) and increasingly comfortable with state intervention that would have made their Gen X parents flinch. They want someone to name the enemy, and the enemy they recognise is not the migrant or the welfare recipient. It’s the landlord, the bank, the supermarket duopoly. This is why right-wing populism keeps bouncing off them. One Nation is currently discovering its ceiling: Gen Z is a large part of what that ceiling is made of. In our research, only around one in 10 of this cohort will entertain a One Nation vote; among young women, the figure collapses into the single digits. Gen Z women are, on our data, the most progressive demographic segment ever measured in this country. The gender gap inside this generation is real and widening but note what the gap is between: young women who are hyper-progressive, and young men who are, mostly still progressive, just less so. The manosphere drift among a minority of young men is real and worth watching but it’s still a minority. It is not, on current evidence, an electoral majority-maker for the populist right in Australia the way it has been elsewhere.” I’m a #Boomer, so I can’t validate this from my own perspective. Any #GenZ out there willing to comment on any of the statements above? I’d be interested in reading about them.

@arthurdent@troet.cafe Moin und so so, ich bin dann also ein, wie war das doch gleich: "gruseliger #boomer " Hmmm. Zumindest habe ich in Physik und Chemie noch gut aufgepasst. 💥 🤔 🤷🏼‍♂️ Die Hitze macht dünnhäutig. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🙋🏼‍♂️ ☕ :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

@PaulMeyn@troet.cafe Aha! Du bist also SO EINER. Schämst Du Dich eigentlich nicht, für den 30-jährigen Krieg, Modern Talking und Fußpilz verantwortlich zu sein? 🧐 -Also zumindest habe ich so manche Tröts hier verstanden. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #Boomer

@arthurdent@troet.cafe Tja, da habe ich wohl Glück gehabt. Bin zwar in den 60ern geboren, aber zum Glück spät genug um kein #Boomer zu sein. #GenX @PaulMeyn@troet.cafe
