Every boomer with a bird feeder hates squirrels. I don’t understand.

    I disagree with the premise. Not every boomer hates squirrels. Not even every boomer with a bird feeder.

      I normally don’t care for broad strokes like this either, but his statement was that every boomer with a bird feeder hated them, so it wasn’t all boomers. (So I’d say still broad, but a bit better than what you responded as them saying)

      That said, squirrels where I was from are much more scarce than they once were. The acorns are still around, but the animals… Slowly disappearing.

        The title talks about boomers in general. Only in the subtext is it specified to mean the ones with birdfeeders.

            And I think you don’t like admiting it’s bit of an clickbait title.

            My comment was very clear; I disagree with both, the assumption made in the title and I equally disagree with it after reading the subtext. Implying all boomers with birdfeeders hate squirrels is over-generalization.

              It’s a quick title that leads into more detail in the body, as titles often do. I think you’re just regarded AF.
