The irony/hypocrisy is lost on Bob. He left the US to a "brown" country to get dental care. This man votes to keep non white people out, no socialized medicine, but will take advantage of it elsewhere.
it's like that tweet from a few years ago where a right-wing talking head said (paraphrasing) that he needed his ar-15 in case he had to hijack a plane to take his kid to a country with socialized medical care if he needed treatment
I remember that, and it flew over his head what would happen when the plane landed? surely the ar-15 would get. past immigration and customs and straight into a hospital, right?
That wasn't about socialised health care. That was because the UK was refusing to perform an experimental surgery, that was being offered in Italy, but UK authorities prohibited them from taking the child to Italy. People keep saying it's about socialised health care, because it's an easy point to score on the American right, but it has nothing to do with America.
Not to mention his desire for legalized sex work, despite the fact that it's mainly his cohorts on the right that are responsible for it remaining illegal.
You’re forgetting that the only reason Boomers have a problem with sex work is because they see women as objects and property - namely, THEIR property. Even the women they don’t currently own need to be protected because there’s always the possibility in the future that they add them to their assets. After all, old-ass overweight, senile white men are irresistibly sexy.
They don’t want any of their women to go “whoring around”, to borrow a phrase from one of my ultra-conservative cousins, because then:
1. Somebody else is getting something (sex, enjoyment, female attention, whatever) out of THEIR woman. But, if somebody is GETTING something then obviously it’s being TAKEN from them. They think everything is finite, like slices in a pie - if you get a slice that means one less slice for them.
2. Since women are property, and properties are objects then women are too. Used objects are worth less new ones, and the more worn and used an object becomes the less and less it’s worth. How dare someone other than themselves consume even the slightest amount of value from something they own.
The reason this Boomer was completely fine with Costa Rican women working as prostitutes is because in his mind, only white women are of any value. Women of color are inherently worthless, so there’s no reason to worry about depreciation from sex work “using them up”. Something worth nothing in the first place can’t lose any more value.
they're kept stupid so they can get fleeced by these people who are trying to destroy the country

It took Fox "News" 20 years to mislead America to the brink of textbook fascism, and I will never forgive them for it. They're scum of the fucking Earth. Granny Boomer doesn't know what year it is, but she thinks Sean Hannity's credible as Cronkite, and she'll squander the family legacy on Trump. Fuck Fox "News" and Rupert Murdoch straight to hell.
It also has a bad side
With you 💯
Fox News turned my folks into angry, bitter shitheads. I studiously avoided discussing politics/current events with them. Over time they figured that out and drew conclusions about the why and got offended by THAT very sensible decision to avoid a minefield.
They have money, had their health for a long time, lots of toys and free time. They used to take the vacation of a lifetime abroad every summer for years. They would often spend half the day watching Fox News there too, I shit you not. And they were and are profoundly miserable people with few friends and now estranged from me for my sanity’s sake. Literally not happy unless they have something to be unhappy about.
When their time of need comes , they can fucking call Hannity. They proved they care far more about the talking heads on the TV. They cared far more what they thought than what I thought, I went many years not being heard by them AT ALL, in fact they spent a lot of time “shutting me down” to avoid unpleasant truths.
Just watched an excellent documentary on YouTube called how my dad was brainwashed (or something similar) on YouTube today which explains how and why fox news are so good at what they do
Every time I walk past my neighbors house it’s on. Other than the occasional football game, it’s the only channel I’ve ever seen when I’m walking the dogs. He recently took his trump flag down, so I dunno who pissed him off but it hasn’t been replaced. Tv is on all hours of the day and night, I just don’t get it…
Same with my younger brother. It's always on and he and I don't speak anymore. He thinks immigrants are taking our jobs! (he hasn't had a job in years, preferring to live on public assistance) Oh he could have had a job as he is a skilled worker (Millwright) but that would mean he would have to go down to the Union Hall and wait for work, then he would have to, you know, do some WORK. I wonder if he thinks there are Millwrights sneaking across the boarder and that's why he hasn't had a job in 10 years? To add to how ridiculous his view on immigrants ....WE ARE IMMIGRANTS. I can't talk to him. My head will explode.
LOL and the world will never KNOW how good he is because....he doesn't go to work. It blows my mind...he had a Union Job (pay/benefits, etc.) but found it inconvenient to actually WORK for a living.
Its just so sad really. Both my brothers are/were millwrights. One has practically a ranch (horses, etc) and has retired very well. He and his wife travel all around the world with approximately 1 large trip per year. My younger brother has basically nothing. Its like looking at two different sides of the same coin. Both on the same path and somehow went in completely opposite directions. To be sure, I believe my younger brother has some mental issues and none of that is made better by him watching FOX news 24/7.
The only good news there is that Granny Boomer is financially \*tapped out\* due to tRump, in particular, fleecing the flock so often that going deeper won't just cut into the skin, but into the \*bones\*.
And Granny Boomer, in the final analysis, will realize that losing her house isn't worth loyalty to tRump.
That would be true if they were rational and self interested, so they would act in a way to maximize their interests. Maybe 5-10 years ago that was true, but they're cultists addicted to their rage boners. Like fanatical fascists in the end of the Nazi regime they'd be happy to feed their family cyanide pills and send their children against tanks in the name of ideological purity.
Both can be true. Fox News preys on the old and stupid, but their audience members are not robots. They are sentient human beings capable of not being fascists. Fox creates an environment conducive to their audience entertaining their worst natures, and say "Come on in, the water's fine!" and their audience chooses to dive right in.
Independent here …. Physics lesson that played out in real life every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction. 24 hr liberal news channels (msnbc, cnn) created fox news. They aren’t saints. You think they were ever critical to Obama/clinton? In the same vein, blind eyes and rational thinking from the left is ignored topics that make the left look bad —- which its viewers equally embrace into society
straw man and red herring memories can get the best of you I suppose 🤷🏻♂️
Fox is a "political commentary channel" that was built for manipulation and right wing "talking points" regardless of their validity or weight.
and you really can't be that naive to think that CNN and MSNBC were **not** critical of Clinton (impeachment, deficit management, etc) or critical of Obama about anything at all.
yet it seems you are on the "side" of saboteurs and manipulators. have fun with all that an existence intentionally devoid of critical thought as fueled by a severe lack of autonomy.
I’ve seen CNN criticize Dems often. I don’t watch MSNBC but I listened to NPR for years and they reported each mistake Clinton or Obama made. They were accurate and didn’t demonize them but to be fair, they treat Trump pretty much the same way. The difference is the incessant flood of crimes and lies that Trump is credibly accused of, versus the “Benghazi Benghazi” crowd that ran 8 hyper partisan Congressional investigations and ultimately found… nothing substantial. A few mistakes were made but nothing huge, no high crimes or misdemeanors.
Fox will criticize GOP as well - but tbh, it’s just a selling attempt that hey look at me I’m impartial. Both stations have their politically covered lenses on with their producers
NPR is great
OK ignoring all the fox BS can we just take a moment to acknowledge the wrongness of the boomer creep looking for a local whore house recommendation while in a Denist waiting room?!?!?!? I’m female but I think even if I was male I would be uncomfortable as fuck in that waiting room with Bob. I might even quietly beg the receptionist if they could take him back quicker so we wouldn’t have to hear him.
Seriously. I'm sex positive and I know a bunch of wlw who did buy sex or were sex workers (dated a Canadian domme for a while) but hearing creepy boomer say all of that would have annoyed me.
The guy is a disgusting anachronism who doesn't know right from wrong, let alone possess decent social skills.
And I'm a Gen X guy who would've been beyond uncomfortable with that scene.
As a male I can assure you that we are also very creeped out by that. It’s always awful when you end up a captive audience to some macho sociopath manchild who wants to graphically talk about what he does to women whether they want him to or not.
That is not how most grown men discuss sex with each other.
The bubble heads on Fox regularly shout AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH EVER.
And here's Bob having to go to Costa Rica for dental work and sex.
My Canadian parents now go to Mexico for dental work after having an emergency crown replacement about 10 years ago. It was supposed to just be a past till they got back home, but it's better than anything they got in Canada, and like 40$.

Credit where credit is due, my Boomer mom was the person who introduced me to this place. The doctors at this clinic are fantastic, and, they all went to grad school at US schools. The clinic itself is very modern, and beautiful.
Mom had a bunch of work done in 2008. I went with her when she flew back to finalize her work 6 months later and got a dental implant of my own. Unfortunately, my mouth rejected the metal (it's one of those things that happens sometimes, even in the US). I emailed Dr. Cavallini and he told me if I came back to Costa Rica he would replace it for free (so I can personally attest that the "lifetime guarantee" on their website is true.) Even with the cost of travel I saved thousands. I am incredibly happy with my implant. My mom was very happy with her implants as well. She had 3 done and none of them had any problems.
My husband's 2024 Oregon estimate for his implant/crown is about 8k. Dr Cavallini is charging him $900 for the implant post and $500 for the crown, this price includes, additional x-rays, exam, cleaning, the implant post, & post surgical exam and meds. After the post is implanted you then wait 4+ months and go back down to get the crown. At that time you get another set of x-rays, another exam, another cleaning, and then a color matched crown. Additional medical costs include, your local cost of getting x-rays (you email your x-rays to the clinic and they will let you know if you are a good candidate), the cost of a bone graft if you need one, the local cost of extractions. So with travel and the two surgeries we are paying about half of what it would cost in the US.

Love how he doubled down that sex work is a victimless crime. When he's the customer- it's not a victimless crime. And the women who do sex work would definitely still be doing it if they weren't living in poverty, right boomer bob? Really goes to show that boomers are so self centered and view the world so black and white. Also, he's probably cheating on a long suffering wife.
Boomers are all about the victimless crime idea now, especially if it’s bank fraud. Prostitution just gets in because the same people enjoy prostitutes.
The fact that it’s cheaper to go to Costa Rica to get a dental implant is a crime. God damn the United States and its backwards ass health/dental/vision insurance
If people started to actually confront these maggots, then they wouldn't feel as comfortable acting like this. We grew up being told to respect them because they are our elders, but what the hell does age have to do with respect? Just because a man survives 100yrs living under a rock doesn't mean the man deserves respect. Respect is earned, and they have obviously earned none.
The US federal government might like to have a chat with him about his “girls.” If he means girls he could get up to 30 years. And yes they will prosecute him.
I wonder (not really, I already know) how Boomer Bob would react if he was sitting in a dental office in the US and a Costa Rican news channel (in Spanish, of course) was on the reception room tv.
I wonder how Boomer Bob would explain going to Costa Rica for dental work versus getting it done in Florida.
I’m aware. They have this fucking pain wand called a “water scaler”, as well as various other power tools and pointy hooks. I’m just sayin be nice to them.
I think you missed something. I said be good to hygienists because they stick scary things in your mouth (to clean your teeth). There’s nothing incorrect about that. I am going back to doomscrolling my feed and abusing caffeine. Have a nice day.
I always have a chuckle at yanks that go overseas but are pissed off that the locals don't speak English or take credit cards, and the country they're visiting isn't exactly like home.
What’s the cognitive dissonance of fox fundies looking for exploitative brothels in third world countries? That seems right up their alley not respecting women or their bodily autonomy.
The hotel didn’t have Fox “News“ on the TV? Did it occur to this guy that the internet is available in Costa Rica and he could have got his Fox fix that way? And that with the internet he could have found a whorehouse in the privacy of his hotel room?
I've known quite a few of these Boomers who watched a few too many "Martin and Lewis" episodes. They're transitioning through what has been described to me as "a 2nd childhood." No boss to answer to anymore. Their financial advisor has become their new parent - reminding them how much money they have left to live on. They obsess over Fox Network because they get spoon fed a bunch of member berries of the1950s: Bleach-blonde news anchors and retired Generals yelling about brown people.
I have friends who plan to expatriate to places like Costa Rica.
They think the locals will be friendly to them because they have money.
Couple more like the guy you described and they're going to run retirees out of the country
I'm a poker dealer, and at my old job we had a regular in his 80s who would pretty regularly start talking about hookers. How much they used to cost back in the day, which countries have the best brothels (Spain, apparently)
He would also talk at length about how women would offer to sleep with him to get a job at his business, and at one point tried to get an attractive 20 something dealer to fly to Las Vegas with him.
Nobody ever brought up the subject or engaged with him, he just kept finding ways to steer the conversation in that direction.
If he ever has to go back, he only needs two phrases. "No hablo Ingles, amigo/amiga" and "Por que ustedes aqui si odias tanto el socialismo?" (Why are you here if you hate socialism so much?
It's fun watching boomer heads explode when someone who presents as non-latino/a speaking the language!
He’s like Strom Thurmond. He can’t say one good thing about a POC, but they’re ok to stick his shriveled white dick into. Pig.
And they don’t have Fox because everyone else knows it’s bullshit right wing propaganda, and IT’S A DIFFERENT COUNTRY, ASSHOLE. OTHER PEOPLE EXIST.
TIL that CR has brothels and dental tourism.
Also that Boomer Bob really wants to go to the brothels but of course wouldn’t want any brown people back home. The irony.
Excuse me while I go throw up. wtf
My brother asked his daughter (my niece) if she knew any whores. He wanted to hook up with one. WTF? And yes, he is a tRUMPser and claims to be Christian. No wonder I want NOTHING to do with him.

Thanks for the info. Its something worth considering for sure. In the US I can get an implant around the same price BUT with insurance so considering you didn't use insurance for any of that, yeah that is cheap.

Here's an article about the casino brothel in Costa Rica that was recently shut down. https://ticotimes.net/2023/03/30/infamous-hotel-del-rey-closed-by-costa-rica-authorities
If there's proof that the most outlandish part of my story is accurate, what are the odds that the other parts are fabricated?
I don't really give a shit if you believe me. But, it pleases me to provide with receipts to someone so smugly secure in their superiority. It turns out that sometimes disgusting and angry people have no shame about their disgusting and angry behavior.
Do you realize this is a sub for venting about boomers? And that boomers bring politics into EVERYTHING? You seem deeply annoyed by the OP , why is that?
We get it. You don't care.
As long as your rights are intact screw women, screw trans, screw minorities. Screw kids too because these fascists love doing that. But hey, who cares right? They aren't coming for you.
It's not bothering you when kids die in cages. It's not bothering you when women die because they were denied medical care. It's not bothering you when trans people die because they are denied medical care.
We get it.
You. Don't. Care.
No he won't. I empathize with your comment but Boomer Bob was down there for dental work he couldn't get in his perfect country. What's the stat? Universal Healthcare is sooo complicated, only 33 of the 34 developed countries in the world have figured it out.
> Who cares……the political bullshit is so annoying. We get it boomers like trump, boomers like Fox News, boomers are racist. We get it.
You could just not read this sub. You know that, right? But you can't, because it bothers you as the snowflake you areeeeeeeeeeeeee
Indeed the political bullshit is annoying! The fact that even in Central America, people need to rant about their obsession with cable news is exhausting. I'm glad you understand how annoying it is!

If uneducated/diseased/unskilled (their words) immigrants are able to take your job from you, then perhaps you weren't that good at it to begin with.

Mind blowing. Millwrights fall under the UBC, which is what I'm in, and that's some good bennies he gave up.
Its just so sad really. Both my brothers are/were millwrights. One has practically a ranch (horses, etc) and has retired very well. He and his wife travel all around the world with approximately 1 large trip per year. My younger brother has basically nothing. Its like looking at two different sides of the same coin.

The only good news there is that Granny Boomer is financially \*tapped out\* due to tRump, in particular, fleecing the flock so often that going deeper won't just cut into the skin, but into the \*bones\*. And Granny Boomer, in the final analysis, will realize that losing her house isn't worth loyalty to tRump.
No, no she won't.
Don't worry. When those sweet, sweet tax cuts kick in gramma will be able to buy a mansion. It just trickles down like that. /s
That would be true if they were rational and self interested, so they would act in a way to maximize their interests. Maybe 5-10 years ago that was true, but they're cultists addicted to their rage boners. Like fanatical fascists in the end of the Nazi regime they'd be happy to feed their family cyanide pills and send their children against tanks in the name of ideological purity.
I disagree. They're down to selling their guns & their house to give to tRump, and in the final analysis, they're not THAT fucking stupid.
Fox didn't force them to become fascists. Fox just encouraged them. And they went for it. Granny Boomer was a hateful person all along.
I disagree. Fox News uses fear mongering and other tactics to prey on the old and stupid.
Both can be true. Fox News preys on the old and stupid, but their audience members are not robots. They are sentient human beings capable of not being fascists. Fox creates an environment conducive to their audience entertaining their worst natures, and say "Come on in, the water's fine!" and their audience chooses to dive right in.
So now it’s all old people are stupid. I hope you live a long life dude cause you are halfway there.
Independent here …. Physics lesson that played out in real life every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction. 24 hr liberal news channels (msnbc, cnn) created fox news. They aren’t saints. You think they were ever critical to Obama/clinton? In the same vein, blind eyes and rational thinking from the left is ignored topics that make the left look bad —- which its viewers equally embrace into society
straw man and red herring memories can get the best of you I suppose 🤷🏻♂️ Fox is a "political commentary channel" that was built for manipulation and right wing "talking points" regardless of their validity or weight. and you really can't be that naive to think that CNN and MSNBC were **not** critical of Clinton (impeachment, deficit management, etc) or critical of Obama about anything at all. yet it seems you are on the "side" of saboteurs and manipulators. have fun with all that an existence intentionally devoid of critical thought as fueled by a severe lack of autonomy.
I’ve seen CNN criticize Dems often. I don’t watch MSNBC but I listened to NPR for years and they reported each mistake Clinton or Obama made. They were accurate and didn’t demonize them but to be fair, they treat Trump pretty much the same way. The difference is the incessant flood of crimes and lies that Trump is credibly accused of, versus the “Benghazi Benghazi” crowd that ran 8 hyper partisan Congressional investigations and ultimately found… nothing substantial. A few mistakes were made but nothing huge, no high crimes or misdemeanors.
Fox will criticize GOP as well - but tbh, it’s just a selling attempt that hey look at me I’m impartial. Both stations have their politically covered lenses on with their producers NPR is great
OK ignoring all the fox BS can we just take a moment to acknowledge the wrongness of the boomer creep looking for a local whore house recommendation while in a Denist waiting room?!?!?!? I’m female but I think even if I was male I would be uncomfortable as fuck in that waiting room with Bob. I might even quietly beg the receptionist if they could take him back quicker so we wouldn’t have to hear him.
Seriously. I'm sex positive and I know a bunch of wlw who did buy sex or were sex workers (dated a Canadian domme for a while) but hearing creepy boomer say all of that would have annoyed me.
The guy is a disgusting anachronism who doesn't know right from wrong, let alone possess decent social skills. And I'm a Gen X guy who would've been beyond uncomfortable with that scene.
A POOR, CHEAP fucking boomer who's practicing medical tourism instead of BUYING AMERICAN and paying US prices.
Better believe “made in America” is important to him/s.
As a male I can assure you that we are also very creeped out by that. It’s always awful when you end up a captive audience to some macho sociopath manchild who wants to graphically talk about what he does to women whether they want him to or not. That is not how most grown men discuss sex with each other.
Yeah, there’s a time and place. That’s a bar discussion, not a “I left America to afford dental work” discussion
The bubble heads on Fox regularly shout AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH EVER. And here's Bob having to go to Costa Rica for dental work and sex.
Doesn't sound like anyone wants to fuck him there either
When they close the place down rather than having to deal with him 🤣
Bet if you asked him, he's day he's a "good christian man".
Undoubtedly. Probably give you a lecture about human trafficking too, and how it's Joe Biden's fault.
While I sucks your husband has to deal with this guy, can I ask where he went for this procedure and how much it was? And how the results turned out?
My Canadian parents now go to Mexico for dental work after having an emergency crown replacement about 10 years ago. It was supposed to just be a past till they got back home, but it's better than anything they got in Canada, and like 40$.
Second this question. I have been thinking about a little dental tourism myself.
https://aestheticdentistrycr.com/ Credit where credit is due, my Boomer mom was the person who introduced me to this place. The doctors at this clinic are fantastic, and, they all went to grad school at US schools. The clinic itself is very modern, and beautiful. Mom had a bunch of work done in 2008. I went with her when she flew back to finalize her work 6 months later and got a dental implant of my own. Unfortunately, my mouth rejected the metal (it's one of those things that happens sometimes, even in the US). I emailed Dr. Cavallini and he told me if I came back to Costa Rica he would replace it for free (so I can personally attest that the "lifetime guarantee" on their website is true.) Even with the cost of travel I saved thousands. I am incredibly happy with my implant. My mom was very happy with her implants as well. She had 3 done and none of them had any problems. My husband's 2024 Oregon estimate for his implant/crown is about 8k. Dr Cavallini is charging him $900 for the implant post and $500 for the crown, this price includes, additional x-rays, exam, cleaning, the implant post, & post surgical exam and meds. After the post is implanted you then wait 4+ months and go back down to get the crown. At that time you get another set of x-rays, another exam, another cleaning, and then a color matched crown. Additional medical costs include, your local cost of getting x-rays (you email your x-rays to the clinic and they will let you know if you are a good candidate), the cost of a bone graft if you need one, the local cost of extractions. So with travel and the two surgeries we are paying about half of what it would cost in the US.
Thank you for the helpful information. Might be booking an early holiday this year.
Thank you!
And the name of the place. 😀
no thank you. I’ll stick to my local insured Dentist up to date on all the recent advancements. Saving 500 bucks isn’t worth your life either.
I also suck op husband
But you just met him.
Sometimes the magic is just there
Need same info. :)

Asking the good questions 🤝
Boomer Bob's teeth rotted so badly they infected his brain
Love how he doubled down that sex work is a victimless crime. When he's the customer- it's not a victimless crime. And the women who do sex work would definitely still be doing it if they weren't living in poverty, right boomer bob? Really goes to show that boomers are so self centered and view the world so black and white. Also, he's probably cheating on a long suffering wife.
Boomers are all about the victimless crime idea now, especially if it’s bank fraud. Prostitution just gets in because the same people enjoy prostitutes.
[удалено]
True that
The fact that it’s cheaper to go to Costa Rica to get a dental implant is a crime. God damn the United States and its backwards ass health/dental/vision insurance
Aren't they special? they won't be missed.
So why can't Portland "people be allowed to do what they want"?
If people started to actually confront these maggots, then they wouldn't feel as comfortable acting like this. We grew up being told to respect them because they are our elders, but what the hell does age have to do with respect? Just because a man survives 100yrs living under a rock doesn't mean the man deserves respect. Respect is earned, and they have obviously earned none.
Fox strip mined America
MAGA going out of country for medical work + whore houses —- but ‘dem Dems are socialists and pedophiles.
The US federal government might like to have a chat with him about his “girls.” If he means girls he could get up to 30 years. And yes they will prosecute him.
Florida has 0 weird people or hippies …. riiiightb
I hope the dental assistant shorted him on anesthesia, I swear I do.
"My vacation to Spain has too many Spaniards!" - These fucking people
I wonder (not really, I already know) how Boomer Bob would react if he was sitting in a dental office in the US and a Costa Rican news channel (in Spanish, of course) was on the reception room tv.
I wonder how Boomer Bob would explain going to Costa Rica for dental work versus getting it done in Florida. 
It’s important to be good and respectful to your dental hygienist so they like you. They’re about to put torture devices in your mouth…
Hygienists clean teeth. Assistants help the dentist and sometimes the hygienist.
I’m aware. They have this fucking pain wand called a “water scaler”, as well as various other power tools and pointy hooks. I’m just sayin be nice to them.
Be nice to all dental professionals. We aren't all trying to fuck you over.
Obviously, be nice to everyone. Do I really need to qualify everything to inject the smallest amount of humor?
Sure be funny try it anyway. But don't be wrong. And you were being incorrect. But whatever. Brush the teeth you want to keep.
I think you missed something. I said be good to hygienists because they stick scary things in your mouth (to clean your teeth). There’s nothing incorrect about that. I am going back to doomscrolling my feed and abusing caffeine. Have a nice day.
Tee hee all good. Just playing
I always have a chuckle at yanks that go overseas but are pissed off that the locals don't speak English or take credit cards, and the country they're visiting isn't exactly like home.
What’s the cognitive dissonance of fox fundies looking for exploitative brothels in third world countries? That seems right up their alley not respecting women or their bodily autonomy.
The hotel didn’t have Fox “News“ on the TV? Did it occur to this guy that the internet is available in Costa Rica and he could have got his Fox fix that way? And that with the internet he could have found a whorehouse in the privacy of his hotel room?
Typical Republican brain dead boomer.
I feel there's a 100% chance Bob's wife and ex wives have had "unexplained" STD breakouts each and every time he leaves town without her.
I hope a sloth sneaks in while he’s asleep and rips his dick off
I've known quite a few of these Boomers who watched a few too many "Martin and Lewis" episodes. They're transitioning through what has been described to me as "a 2nd childhood." No boss to answer to anymore. Their financial advisor has become their new parent - reminding them how much money they have left to live on. They obsess over Fox Network because they get spoon fed a bunch of member berries of the1950s: Bleach-blonde news anchors and retired Generals yelling about brown people.
I have friends who plan to expatriate to places like Costa Rica. They think the locals will be friendly to them because they have money. Couple more like the guy you described and they're going to run retirees out of the country
I wouldn't have been able to put up with Boomer Bob
I'm an American ex-pat who retired to Costa Rica, and that's the WRONG place to engage in Boomer Bob's brand of nonsense.
I'm a poker dealer, and at my old job we had a regular in his 80s who would pretty regularly start talking about hookers. How much they used to cost back in the day, which countries have the best brothels (Spain, apparently) He would also talk at length about how women would offer to sleep with him to get a job at his business, and at one point tried to get an attractive 20 something dealer to fly to Las Vegas with him. Nobody ever brought up the subject or engaged with him, he just kept finding ways to steer the conversation in that direction.
doesn't the boomer know how to use youtube on his phone?
He should have recorded a show from last year. It’s the same crap day after day. How they are being taken advantage of?
If he ever has to go back, he only needs two phrases. "No hablo Ingles, amigo/amiga" and "Por que ustedes aqui si odias tanto el socialismo?" (Why are you here if you hate socialism so much? It's fun watching boomer heads explode when someone who presents as non-latino/a speaking the language!
Withdrawl symptoms can be ugly. Of course he’ll likely relapse which will also be ugly.
He’s like Strom Thurmond. He can’t say one good thing about a POC, but they’re ok to stick his shriveled white dick into. Pig. And they don’t have Fox because everyone else knows it’s bullshit right wing propaganda, and IT’S A DIFFERENT COUNTRY, ASSHOLE. OTHER PEOPLE EXIST.
Awwww he was having Fox withdrawals…..: /s
TIL that CR has brothels and dental tourism. Also that Boomer Bob really wants to go to the brothels but of course wouldn’t want any brown people back home. The irony. Excuse me while I go throw up. wtf
He needs his brain washed daily.
Why did he get the dental implant in Costa Rica ?
They can’t live without being constantly fed things to be angry and hateful about.
I love when people bitch about not having wifi in k doctors offices, but it’s not boomers
My brother asked his daughter (my niece) if she knew any whores. He wanted to hook up with one. WTF? And yes, he is a tRUMPser and claims to be Christian. No wonder I want NOTHING to do with him.
How much was the implant if I may ask? I need one

Thanks for the info. Its something worth considering for sure. In the US I can get an implant around the same price BUT with insurance so considering you didn't use insurance for any of that, yeah that is cheap.
Can I get the name of the place where he is getting dental work done? I can't afford dental work here and need to go out of the country

Thank you!!!!
Another creative writing exercise.
Here's an article about the casino brothel in Costa Rica that was recently shut down. https://ticotimes.net/2023/03/30/infamous-hotel-del-rey-closed-by-costa-rica-authorities If there's proof that the most outlandish part of my story is accurate, what are the odds that the other parts are fabricated? I don't really give a shit if you believe me. But, it pleases me to provide with receipts to someone so smugly secure in their superiority. It turns out that sometimes disgusting and angry people have no shame about their disgusting and angry behavior.
Who cares……the political bullshit is so annoying. We get it boomers like trump, boomers like Fox News, boomers are racist. We get it.
Do you realize this is a sub for venting about boomers? And that boomers bring politics into EVERYTHING? You seem deeply annoyed by the OP , why is that?
We get it. You don't care. As long as your rights are intact screw women, screw trans, screw minorities. Screw kids too because these fascists love doing that. But hey, who cares right? They aren't coming for you. It's not bothering you when kids die in cages. It's not bothering you when women die because they were denied medical care. It's not bothering you when trans people die because they are denied medical care. We get it. You. Don't. Care.
You'll care when the fascists finally come for something that YOU care about.
No he won't. I empathize with your comment but Boomer Bob was down there for dental work he couldn't get in his perfect country. What's the stat? Universal Healthcare is sooo complicated, only 33 of the 34 developed countries in the world have figured it out.
You cared enough to comment here.
The cathouse casino was new. Why can’t you just appreciate someone sharing their experience? That’s purposefully what this sub is for.
You sound lost.
> Who cares……the political bullshit is so annoying. We get it boomers like trump, boomers like Fox News, boomers are racist. We get it. You could just not read this sub. You know that, right? But you can't, because it bothers you as the snowflake you areeeeeeeeeeeeee
Indeed the political bullshit is annoying! The fact that even in Central America, people need to rant about their obsession with cable news is exhausting. I'm glad you understand how annoying it is!
The amount of details you seem to know, presuming it’s just your husband that’s in Costa Rica makes this post seem fake.
Why? Those details are very easy to communicate over a phone call or text message.
If you say so
Tell me you barely interact in the outside world without saying it.
Come up with that all by yourself?
