#Six White Boomers

[clueless1995]

i really wish we could show the northern hemisphere how fucking weird it is when every “seasonal” trend is tailored for the opposite season to what you’re experiencing like. even the monthly poetry people post i simply cannot relate. it used to make me really sad as a kid especially stuff like christmas when i had never even seen snow (i still haven’t) and every movie or song about it mentioned snow or the cold or whatever

If Santa uses the boomers for the Australian run, and he was still in Australia to pick up Joey, why weren't they still attached?

And if you say he'd swapped back to go to the next country that's fine, but why then did have to bring them back just to drop Joey home? The reindeer would be capable of doing the quick run.

Basically those poor boomers got off a long night's work and were heading home before Santa drags them back going I know you just got off shift but I need you to help me find this kid's mum. No, the day staff can't do it.

winter warmers day 24: christmas eve

max/daniel. 257 words. from the 'three kids verse'.

-

It’s the first Christmas that Arie is old enough to really understand the excitement and magic of Santa Claus coming tonight.

He’s three, now, and Daniel has helped him set down a plate of cookies on the fireplace hearth, a bowl of apple slices next to it.

“For the kangawoos,” Arie says excitedly, wiggling all around.

“That’s right,” Daniel laughs, looking over at Max on the sofa. Max can’t get over the fact that kangaroos pull Santa’s sleigh in Australia, and it delights Daniel every year. “Six white boomers, right Arie?”

The tree is up, the lights are on, the stockings hung, and the treats are out. They’re ready for Christmas and Daniel is excited to have this be the first Christmas – just the three of them on Christmas morning. It’s their last Christmas as a trio, and Daniel can hardly control the way his hand moves to rub against his belly – six months pregnant. A few short months to go before they become parents to two children.

“What do you hope Sinterklaas will bring you tonight?” Max asks as Arie bounces over to climb into his lap. Daniel takes them in – his wiggly son too riled up on Christmas Eve magic, and his husband – the best partner and papa Daniel could have chosen for his children.

Daniel leans back against the hearth, watching Arie speak as animatedly with his hands as his papa does. He rests his hands on his little belly and feels grateful for his little family. Excited for their second son to come.

Santa doesn't use reindeer when he gets to Australia, its too hot. He changes them over for six big white boomers for his Australian run. That is, six big white male kangaroos. They still pull a sleigh.

mmMmMmm golden gaytimes. I can't eat them anymore, I've gone lactose intolerant with my type II diabetes. But I liked the lamington version they did a few years ago.

pt II australia but i've never been there

I didn't even have to wait for y'all's responses on part I to make this because Australia is WILDING. As per usual, salutations to Arthur's grandmother's boyfriend Brian.

Everything remaining that I know about Australia:

There was an emu war. There were many emu casualties, and no human ones, but the emus won anyway. Sun Tzu is making way for the emus.

That was the only research I did on the emu wars, but as someone who met a few emus once, they were very lovely to me and very soft to pet. They also were very jabby. One of them looked deeply concerned as they looked at me, I believe they thought I was a deformed emu. I am on the winning side of the war.

During Christmas, Santa does not have a sleigh. He has a surfboard, and he does slay.

There are a lot of animals. Many have no placenta, as I recall from biology. Due to the nature of the continental drift and geographical isolation, Australian marsupials evolved separately from placental mammals, and were not wiped out by invading species. Due to convergent evolution, there are also analogous species between the placental mammals and the marsupials.

What just happened I'm sorry deep science trauma was unearthed. The point is, a lot of animals. A kangaroo is probably in your backyard. A koala just stole your girlfriend. An alligator murdered your classmate. It just happens.

KOOKOOBURRA SITTING ON THE OLD GUM TREE MERRY MERRY SOMETHING SOMETHING idk I was 3 when my mum sang me that.

The internet is awful. Rumours are that the local snake ate it.

Australia is very very pretty, I know this because of an Australian Tourism Department ad that I saw when I was 12 and had cable TV.

You must not forget your Hat. It's like the three little kittens song, but with the Hat instead of mittens.

The Wibbles are a thing. I thought they were a band. Spotify said no. I no longer know what they are.

Crocodile Dundee is a thing. I saw him in Snoopy/Peanuts.

Steve Irvin met his wife in an animal area and his daughter met her husband in an animal area. I don't know anything more these lovely folks, or what the animal area was, I'm afraid.

There is a cake with white stripes that is the Best for Birthdays.

The accent is beautiful, but I admit for years I couldn't differentiate it from British and American accents as a child because to me it sounded like the lovechild of them both and it made me very confused.

Uh, Australia exists.

Yeah, no, that's all I've got. Love to the Australian maggots.

I said this on twitter too but even though the right is currently having a huge meltdown about sex education and alleged “grooming in schools,” it was already a meme of the boomer generation that every little boy would have a secret stash of girlie magazines, sneak into adult movies or spy on hot neighbors. Every old right wing white guy I ever knew would reminisce about their pre-teen horniness as a wholesome good old american experience. It’s joked about in movies and cartoons of their era. Now they think younger people only know these concepts thanks to either internet porn or liberalism. As someone who grew up rural - something they also tend to respect - I literally saw the neighbor’s animals boning all the time and then there’d be little baby ones. I knew what reproduction was, scientifically. I still didn’t know what human sexuality was, but I started liking the sexy lady characters in my perfectly G-rated media by the time I was six or seven. Nothing corrupted me or forced it on me. I literally had no idea what those feelings were at all, they just fucking happened. The part they don’t want to believe is that for some people, those feelings just fucking happen but it just fucking happens to be gayer. They just really want to believe that any hint of anything LGBT has to come from a nefarious place.

One of the biggest reasons we lose potential jobs at this mitigation company?

Old white guy husbands.

For real, half of the cancellations for evaluations and mitigation are because the boomer husband said, after his wife called us, "Oh, no, I can do this myself." (Because, as mentioned previously, they don't want to pay the $350 evaluation fee. While having at least a six-figure job and a paid-off mortgage.)

Did he ever work in mitigation? No.

Does he know how? Not really but he can use a saw and knows how to use a wrench so that's basically the same, right?

Does he have instruments to detect moisture and mold? Nah but it'll be fine right? He can eyeball it. (No he can't and microscopic mold is probably already growing.)

Please don't let your boomer dads or grandpas or WHOEVER do their own mitigation after you've had a water leak (ESPECIALLY SEWAGE OH MY GOD DO NOT DO YOUR OWN SEWAGE DAMAGE MITIGATION), because none of this is even mentioning the fact that if their house was built before 2010 then they might be exposing themselves to asbestos, and if their house was built before 1980 they're almost DEFINITELY exposing themselves to asbestos AND LEAD. Save the poor asshole in your life from a wombo combo of mesothelioma AND lead poisoning. And maybe mold poisoning. The poor stupid bastards.

Sims In Bloom: Generation 1 Pt. 9 (New Pets & Summer Fun!)

The Pancake kids struggled in the wake of their mother’s death, so Neal proposed an idea to Bob that he’d come up with on a past visit to Brindleton Bay for Ralph’s check up. He’d met Catarina Munch-Lynx, who was hoping to rehome kittens born to her Abyssinian, Josie. Bob and Neal took all six kids to Brindleton to greet Josie’s litter, and before the night was done the Pancakes went home with the only girl, Harley. Daisy was surprised, but not that shocked, when Neal and the kids walked in the door with Boomer, Harley’s brother – a fluffy white kitten both talkative and friendly.

Daisy’s birthday came and went without a celebration – it didn’t feel right with everyone still reeling from Eliza’s sudden death. Neal and Daisy convinced Bob to join them and some friends for a trip to the Romance Festival in San Myshuno without the kids. He agreed to go, but his grief was still too raw, and his hatred of crowds was amplified. He left early, and they apologized all the way home. He wasn’t ready to move on, and they understood. They couldn’t imagine what he was going through, and hoped they had decades before they’d need to find out.

The Nesbitts spent Family Day together at home, with Neal teaching River to ride a bike just like his older sisters. River, Holly, and Heather all suffered from asthma, and Heather had allergies to half the plant life in their garden, but they never let it stop them from enjoying the outdoors just like their parents. Sure, they could all find more enjoyment from the television and computer than either of their nature-loving parents, but never at the expense of fresh air activities. Henford’s air was so clean, a perfect place for their young lungs even with asthma and allergies.

Inquisitive Hazel always wanted to learn and cried when no one could read her flash cards. She was just like her studious elder siblings, but Neal and Daisy made sure the kids had fun. To celebrate the waning days of summer, they hosted a barbeque for half the town. They set up a projector and a bedsheet in the yard so the kids could watch a movie under the stars with their friends, set up a portable bar and served ribs, grilled fruit, even sugar cookies for dessert.

The weather was perfect that day, and Daisy's cowplant was happily fed and on its best behaviour. Everyone had a blast and begged for them to host another one next year. The whole town even chipped in to buy the Nesbitts an expensive grill, and the Annual Henford Cookout was born.

Heather reached her teens soon after, and her parents got her a medical station to teach herself vet skills when she wasn’t doing schoolwork or trying to wrap her mind around computer programming – far from her best subject. But programming could help her mod her favourite video games, a prospect which drove geeky Heather forward. As independent as ever, Heather loved keeping herself busy, but she loved spending time with her family and their pets, too. Ralph, King Tut, and Boomer were all well behaved, and got along with each other as well as their humans did.

Now that Daisy and Neal had a teenager, would life be any different at home? ->

Tik tok is weird sometimes. I haven't been very active there lately, but my videos from last Christmas are seeing a resurgence. This happens every year but this year, the main one people are seeing again is a video where I said that it's hard to listen to the Aussie Christmas song "six white boomers" without giggling now ("boomer" is the old name for a male kangaroo. The song says Santa uses 6 white, flying kangaroos to pull his sleigh over Australia because it's too hot for the reindeer).

Someone in the comments, a year ago, said the funny thing is that female kangaroos used to be called flyers and I answered back (again, a year ago) that that sounds like a missed opportunity. This morning, I got an angry reply to that comment from someone else telling me not to disrespect our basketball team (the national men's team is called the boomers).

I didn't even mention basketball lmao. I admittedly took the bait and asked what they were talking about. Is it wrong a part of me kind of hopes they'll continue on saying "you have no respect for athletes" so I have an excuse to dig up my old Gliders (Women's paralympc basketball team) uniform and national/world championship medals lmao

The nones are rising.

If there’s anything that I’m probably known for - it’s that simple statement. There are more non-religious people in the United States today than at any point in the history of the country. The best estimates put the share of folks who are non-religious right about 30% of the American population.

You can’t get to that share of the population without touching every single demographic group in a country. This can’t just be a phenomenon that impacts younger people, or white people. You name a niche demographic in the United States, there’s a very good chance that they are less religious today than that same demographic group fifteen years ago.

Obviously one of the biggest predictors of this phenomenon is age. Younger adults are way more likely to be non-religious compared to older Americans. The graph below makes that clear.

Among the Silent Generation (those born between 1925 and 1945), just over half are Protestant and nearly a quarter are Catholic. At the same time the share who are non-religious (atheist, agnostic, nothing in particular) is just 19%. Seventy-four percent are Christians and 19% are nones. Pretty big spread between those two groups.

But here’s that same spread - Protestant/Catholic vs Non-Religious by Generation:

• Boomers: 67% versus 27%. +40 points • Gen X: 56% versus 39%. +17 points • Millennials: 45% versus 48%. -3 points • Gen Z: 38% versus 51%. -13 points

Generation Z is the first generation in American history where it appears clear that the share who are non-religious outnumbers the Protestants and the Catholics.

A very crucial part of this conversation needs to be laid out, however. This is not happening at equal rates among generations if you break it down by racial groups. The religious composition of white Americans looks much different than the patterns exhibited by Hispanics or Asians. The graph below makes that really clear.

The white graph at the top is just such a consistent stair-step down for each successive generation. Each younger generation is significantly less likely to be Protestant. A typical decline is six or seven percentage points from one generation to the next. For Catholicism, the drop is still there but it’s way more modest, just 2-3 points per generation.

At the same time, the nones are just exploding. Nineteen percent among the Silents, begets 27% among Boomers, 39% among Gen X, 49% among Millennials, and then 52% among Generation Z. 19% to 52% - that’s the rise of the nones among white Americans by generation.

That same stair-step down is also clear among Black respondents, too. The share of Protestants among Silent Generation African-Americans is the highest of any category in this graph - 70%. There are still a lot of Protestants among Black Boomers, too - 67%. But then, it just falls off a cliff. Fifty-two percent among Gen X, 40% among Millennials and just 27% among Gen Z African-Americans. A forty-three point drop from the top to the bottom.

At the same time, the nones are rising. It’s about a quarter of older Black respondents, but leaps to nearly forty percent of Black members of Generation X. That seems to be the biggest leap for African-Americans, by the way, between Boomers and Gen X. Something shifted there, big time. Now, 52% of the youngest Black adult Americans are nones. Basically the same share as white Gen Z.

For Hispanics, it’s not Protestants who take the biggest hits - it’s Catholics. I think this is fascinating. Among Hispanic Boomers, 21% are Protestant. It’s the same share among Gen X. It does drop slightly to 15% among Millennials and Gen Z. But that six point slide is minute compared to the forty point drop between Black Boomers and Gen Z. That same number for whites is 22 points. Hispanic Protestantism is just not declining that fast.

The Catholics, though, are a much bigger story. Nearly three quarters of the oldest Hispanics in the United States are Catholic (72%). However, there’s a huge decline between the Silent Generation and Boomers - down nineteen percentage points. Then, the declines slow down some. It’s a six point drop for Gen X, a five point drop for Millennials, and then a huge dip - 11 points for Gen Z. The total decline in Hispanic Catholic share is 41 points from the top to the bottom.

The nones are the big gainers among Hispanics, clearly. Just 23% of Boomer Hispanics are non-religious. It’s 30% among Gen X and 40% among Millennials. Nearly half of Gen Z Hispanics are non-religious. Not that much different than white or Black young adults.

The pattern for Asians is just completely different, no other way to describe it. The share of Asians who are Protestant or Catholic by generation doesn’t really deviate that much. I think it’s very fair to say that younger Asian Americans are just as likely to be Catholic or Protestant compared to their older counterparts. That’s the only racial group where that’s the case.

In fact, there are just not these huge generational differences between older Asians and younger ones when it comes to religion. About the same share are from the “other world religions” category, regardless of generation. When it comes to the share who are nones, I can’t definitively say that the youngest Asians are more likely to be atheist, agnostic, or nothing in particular compared to older Asians. That really stands out in comparison to every other racial group in the sample.

Neo-Burlesque Era of the 2020’s

Stephen Jay Morris

6/29/2020

©Scientific Morality

            So, here we are in the year of our Lord, 2024, via the Twenty-First Century. This is very similar to the era known as “The Roaring Twenties”—the only difference being is the economy. During the 1920’s, the economy was in prosperity mode. It was party time, with nonstop divine decadence, bathtub gin, and screwing a “Flapper” in a Model T.  All was centered around sex, jazz, and booze. In response, the fundamentalists and evangelical Christians wanted to halt all sin and implement “God’s laws” across the nation. To them, it was viewed as the “End Times” because “young America was reviving Sodom and Gomorrah.” The White racists were worried that America’s borders were being invaded by illegal aliens who were mostly comprised of Anarchists and Communist spies. Is this sounding familiar?

Well, the Christians succeeded in outlawing alcohol by government-implemented “Prohibition.” However, that only served to ensure that organized crime became powerful and filthy rich. The 1920’s didn’t end well. The U.S. economy crashed in 1929 which ushered in The Great Depression. The rich got richer, and the common people got fucked. They were dirt poor.

So, how will the 2020’s decade end? Here is my educated guess.

            The American people suffered from a global pandemic between 2020 and 2022, known as Corona Virus, or COVID 19. Conservative and Christian coalitions expressed their state paranoia by claiming the federal government was forcing citizens to wear masks, quarantine themselves, and take emergency vaccines. The political right was feeding fear to the masses with one alarming exaggeration after another.

            Donald Trump, then President of the United States (until January 2021), was a B.T. Barnum type who cared only about himself; specifically, his money and popularity. Somehow, he paid off churches to promote him as the second coming of Christ. It worked. His base was comprised of right-wing fanatics who believed in conspiracy theories. To date, 30% of the America population are Trump cultists. At the time of his election (2016), he had zero government experience. He was a real estate tycoon whose six businesses had failed. He was the worst businessman in history. Despite all this, he got the stamp of approval from Christian churches across the country, which designated him a decent guy. The most popular thing for which he was known was a TV reality show called, “The Apprentice,” which aired from 2004 to 2017. At the time, the Millennial generation’s mentality was based on computer technology and the Internet. They had been weaned on cell phones and computers. A TV reality show host was not impressive to them. Many were a-political and anti-religion. However, many other generational types, like Gen X and Baby Boomer conservatives, were bound to Trump. President Trump knew how to manipulate Americans, particularly working-class, white people. He came out of the entertainment industry. Americans are entertainment addicts and hedonists.

            Today, the work ethic in America is dead. Over the decades, Americans have wondered why they should work hard at all. Hundreds of businesses go bankrupt every month. The truth is, you only work hard for your boss so he can get rich. The plan is that you, the worker, are so occupied with working hard that you haven’t time to rebel against the capitalist system. After their long, 8-hour day, Americans want to have fun. We live in an entertainment society. It’s all silliness and sick jokes. A burlesque society predates a fascist society. Consider the 1972 American movie, “Cabaret,” a fictional movie depicting Germany’s era during 1920’s decadence: sex, cross dressing, and drunkenness. The Nazis promised German Christians they would put an end to it, and they did.

In America, people want to escape economic hardships by having fun. But the Evangelicals want to control all primal urges and create a clean-cut society. They loath sex unless it's purpose is to make more white babies. They hate sex, but they love violence against “evil people;” that is, whomever they perceive as evil.

At this moment in time, it’s all about fun and recreation. It’s not about wholesome entertainment. It’s about action movies and energy drinks. Video games about war and violence are still a hot item for the younger set. So, I declare this time in American history, “The Age of Neo-Burlesque.” That is my label for the decade.

            Now, what will happen in the 2030’s? I predict that the pendulum will swing to the left. The moderate left will have to compete with the ultra-left. They will have to offer rational programs to help struggling Americans. The ultra-left will need to reorganize and try again. The political right will be despised by working class Americans and become a pariah to them.

At last, a Hollywood ending!
