WHY DO ALL OLD PEOPLE ASSUME THAT IF YOUNG PEOPLE DONT FIND SOMETHING FUNNY ITS BECAUSE THEY'RE OFFENDED???

I'm so exasperated I needed to go cruise control for cool

Bruv, you're old too now

 

[Gwadien]

So why the @Job reference then?

Because Job used to post stuff purely for a reaction, even if it wasn't funny.

I don't think Hawkwind finds it funny, I think he posts it purely for the reaction.

The problem is that the amount of actual cancel culture snowflakes is very small, but there is a larger population of people who find this boomer humour boring, predictable, and purely to antagonise which is pretty childish, and makes it just as bad as snowflakes.

Obviously everyone is free to do what they will, I'd just like to know the actual reason behind it.

 

[Raven]

I doubt there are many boomers around here, you do know what a boomer is, don't you?

They are in their late 60s now...

 

[Aoami]

I'm hanging on to my youth for dear life I'll have you know! Young in the context of this forum perhaps haha.

It's called boomer humour tho because it spreads like wildfire round boomer WhatsApp groups.

Back to football... What a game this has been. Got a tenner on CR7 for top scorer so glad to see him on the scoresheet again. Germany have been superb down the flanks, Havertz excellent as well.

There you go projecting again. Ask @Hawkwind dont assume

Most boomers wouldnt know what whatsapp is. They were born post ww2. So a lot are i to their 70s now

So? A lot are also in their 50s and early 60s, my parents generation. Every single one of them I know use WhatsApp.

Anyway, back on topic.

 

[Scouse]

So why the @Job reference then?

And him saying:

So yes then.

When @Hawkwind said "feel free to be offended".

Pretty cut and dried.

 

[caLLous]

The guy who posted the mocked up image of the female pundits with ironing boards and piles of laundry? It's a fairly safe assumption, no projection required.

"Boomer humour"? Oh do fuck off. Such po-faced self-righteousness.

As a joke it wasn't even controversial; a statement of fact made for ironic effect.

I still find Spain quite boring to watch.

'An old player in a studio?' - Lineker reacts to Isak's comments

After praising the young striker, Match of the Day's Gary Lineker is taken by surprise by what Sweden's Alexander Isak had to say about him - much to the amusement of Micah Richards.

www.bbc.co.uk

I don't think his analysis is any good but Micah is great value

 

[caLLous]

Well done, Wales.

 

[Raven]

Really pleased for them, they fully deserve it.

 

[Aoami]

Great effort from the lads to hold on today with 10 men. Miss Davies massively when he doesn't play, I reckon he is important as Bale & Ramsey. I think it would've been a different story if Italy hadn't rested so many players, but I'll take it. Could've easily been 1-1 mind if Gaz could've got his leg over... fnarr fnarr.

 

[Moriath]

Does seem harder to not qualify in this tourney. But second is great

It is harder not to qualify. 24 teams, 16 go through, 8 drop out.

Fucks sake.

It's all coming together to finish second in the group.

 

[Moriath]

Wow danish third goal. !!1!

 

[Raven]

Wait, how?

 

[Embattle]

Wait, how?

I believe due to our current points 4, we would get one of the 3rd spots if we lost tomorrow which happened because of Denmark winning tonight.

 

[Aoami]

Wait, how?

Because we will be at least one of the 4th best 3rd place sides whatever happens, because we already have 4 points.
