Gen Z-ers are annoying - I'm scared for when I'm 60-70 and they're supposed to be taking care of me.

Not sure which is worse - them or "Karens"

Perhaps you mean Gen Z? Some millennials are over the age of 40 currently.

I was gonna suggest that too. If we're talking people currently in their 25 or younger, then that would be Gen Z. But I kinda get why they may feel that way. Even I in my early 30s feel totally different from someone who's say 22.

Corrected! I apologize, as a 47 year old I forgot what I was doing and who I was talking about.

If we’re talking “generalizations” there’s enough of that going around regardless of the age group..

I remember when I was in my mid to late 20’s (late 80’s/early 90’s), I used to hear, pretty frequently, folks 20-30 years my senior, not understanding the way us “young people” dressed, were “lazy”, and didn’t understand our taste in music etc etc.. Very similar to what we hear today, lol. I also keep an open mind..mainly because some of it is still stuck in my late 20’s- although I just turned 61 a couple months back (yeah I’m old as he!l)..

Keeping humble and open minded about people, places and situational “things” is one of the most adult and endearing qualities a person can have..and on that Omaha Sub Reddit, regardless of age, I read very little commentary that reflects those qualities…

It sounds like this guy is just really bitter that he felt obligated to move away from a place he enjoyed for the purpose of taking care of his mom. I think he's just taking that bitterness out on Omaha. I know Iowa isn't and can't imagine that Oklahoma is much different than Omaha.

Also he contradicts himself. Does he want people to be comfortable with him in their three-foot bubble, or does he want people mind their own business? You enter the bubble, you're into the business!

If you look into that guys other posts you'll see he mostly spends his time in WallStreetBets which is a gathering of some of the smoothest brains on the internet.

"You also won't understand where I'm coming from". Translation: I know more than you, so you can never criticize me.

The comment about personal distance is something that I find offensive as someone who is from the Midwest. People have space bubbles because they're used to...wait for it...having space. Regional cultural nuances should be observed and respected, not judged.

I lived in Dallas for a year in my 20s, and I don't regret at all moving back to Omaha. There was a lot more affordable entertainment options in Omaha, and imo the quality of life was much better--even as a young single homosexual.

I live in Vegas now and the low property taxes are partially the reason that I was finally able to afford to buy a home, but many roads are broken, poverty is rampant, and the air is dirty. No place is perfect, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. This also applies to the politics. Is Nebraska by and large conservative? Yes, but there are plenty of well established progressive and diverse communities.

Lastly, the community in which you live is not a resort that caters to you. If you want better restaurants, then invest your attorney money into a business that you want in your community. Who knows, maybe a lot of other people want it too.

This isn't meant for Cowboy obviously.

Then leave. As soon as humanly possible. Why bother posting on Reddit when you could be packing your 2022 car? Don't look back. Just go. Travel the globe finding paradise. In addition, there are some decaf coffees that are just as tasty as regular coffee. Well, not really, but still. Pack up and go.

Exactly Bob..

This person and his rant are completely unhinged. So many lies and vitriol packed into his silly diatribe..

I come back to why a person who purports to hate Omaha so much, even bothers to post on an Omaha centric discussion forum? I also find it both hilarious and sad to think Omaha has actually driven this person to what appears to be, the verge of a nervous/mental breakdown

they think that we're all pansies... then GTF outta here. What a jackwad.

BTW, if they're loaded why not move their mom out of Omaha into a luxurious condo somewhere with worse healthcare, more a$$holes walking the streets and stuff that costs 4x as much as it does here. Idiot.

That question applies to just about every city in America. New York, Chicago, Washington DC, Seattle, Austin, a select few cities in California. But the rest of the country, not so much. For what it's worth I have no answers nor are there quick answers.

This one has not devolved into a Bitchfest as of yet (Thankfully)..

But there are the predictable “Negative Nellies”. It always amuses me when I read someone minimizing Omaha and touting larger metros as more “interesting”. More “interesting” than Omaha..Hmmm..Interesting is all relative and perspective; and is very relatable to a person INDIVIDUALLY imo, lol.. I just love the broad brushing assumption that because a metropolitan area is larger than another, it “naturally” makes it more “interesting”..

In any case, check out this latest Reddit Omaha “gem”-

Somewhere in Honolulu is a couch potato that sits around complaining how bored they are. Somewhere in Bismarck, North Dakota, someone is having the time of their life. The difference? Attitude.

Just when I think it’s safe to say the Omaha Reddit page has turned a corner, now that it’s 80k strong,,

Folks there can’t help creating a thread which, predictably, devolves into yet another Omaha Bitchfest- take a gander-

What’s funny (and really not true) is this pervasive attitude that there is absolutely ZERO diversity in Omaha west of 72nd street. Multiple times a week, I’ll unpack and enjoy a beverage at a west Omaha coffee shop, say Starbucks, for example..the location at 122nd and West Center..and every time, I mean EVERY time, I see diversity, people of color etc etc in the short hour or so I’m there-coming, going and or staying. The attitude on Reddit is- there is absolutely ZERO diversity in West Omaha. It just isn’t true..

In any case- Your opinion on the latest Reddit “Gem”…

Ciao..LIO…Peace

Agreed! Here are 2 paragraphs of one post (ALL of it is NONSENSE, but these 2 take the cake)-

“Then add to the fact that we are several hundred miles from any coastline, several hundred miles from any mountains, and outside of Kansas City, practically isolated from any other city for hundreds of miles meaning a lack of interaction with different people, No major league sports, and our job growth and overall job market is stagnant and unchanging which leads to Brain Drain it pretty much writes itself.

I'm not gonna compare Omaha to the Bay area and then say that justifies calling Omaha boring, but Omaha's most peer cities like Fresno, Tucson, or heck even Tulsa are starting to pick up on how to keep people in the city and entertained and those cities have a lot more to do than Omaha does despite all being in similar size ranges.”..

So much NONSENSICAL BS to unpack here. First- Job growth and Omaha’s overall job market as stagnant? WRONG. So obviously WRONG..

Then to opine that Omaha peer cities like Fresno, Tucson and Tulsa have more going on and more to do than Omaha? LMFAO. I can’t speak to Fresno CA (I’ve never been there)..But I can state, with complete confidence, Tucson and Tulsa do not have “more to do” than Omaha. Omaha has much more to do to keep folks entertained than those 2 cities, and it’s not even close IMO..

In any case, that’s just a taste of the negative Omaha BS spread on Omaha’s sub Reddit page.. It’s funny these negative Nellies who hate Omaha SO MUCH, dwell so frequently on an Omaha centric internet page..

Comedy.. A tragic comedy…

LOL! I never hear about Reddit out in the real world (Work, Friends, Social Situations), only when someone posts about it here on the forum. I haven't been paying much attention to Facebook anymore either because its really turning in to a "miserable cesspool" too.

I have posted this many times over the years... If people spent more time promoting what they do like instead of complaining what they don't like, the world would be a much better place.

If you surround yourself with negativity it sure as heck will rub off on you. That’s why I NEVER spend a moment on those types of social media platforms. I’ve never visited that site and have no intentions of doing so in the future.
The same is true in one’s personal life. Don’t waste your time communicating with or listening to negative people. It’s tough to ditch family members, but sometimes it simply must be done for the sake of your own happiness.
As to the “point” of those posts, as a 60-something Omahan who is usually home by 9 pm I cannot critique our city’s nightlife quality. But I’m happy spending 6+ months per year living here. We have numerous entertainment venues (almost none of which I use), plus a great park system, talented chef owned restaurants, and I could go on from there. Yeh, lots of entertainment costs money, sometimes lots of money, but when has that not been the case?

I also live here 6+ months per year, and entertainment for me consists of music concerts, Creighton Volleyball, and the parks. Even limited to downtown, the options for me couldn't be much better. The variety and quality of live music in Omaha's concert venues are wonderful in my opinion.
