[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leave old people alone. This is getting ridiculous and repetitive.[/quote] I stand by my comment that retirees are too online. I am not reflexively anti-boomer. There are regular mental health changes that are part and parcel of aging that I have a ton of sympathy for. I have seen Parkinson’s and depression devastate two family members. There are plenty of other examples. But there is something else going on too with the amount of time retirees are spending online and I don’t think we can talk about it enough. My mother sees this trend of “politics as total personality” in her retiree friends which is crowding out conversation on any other subject. I hear some of the misogynistic brain rot youtube automatically serves up to my dad. I have a good relationship with my parents and luckily they are still very active but I worry what’s going to fill the vacuum when they become less mobile. [/quote]
