Saw someone making a “bricked up” joke on YouTube the other day and a reply saying “that used to mean you had constipation, who though it was a good idea to change that to having a boner?” and one reply to that was “I have literally never heard bricked used in that way, you must be like 30 or something.”
And that made me weirdly irritated. It’s written like being 30 is wrong because of how “old” it is. Not once in my life, even as a kid, did I see it like that. And not just for 30 year olds but for any age, like being some age is somehow bad or something to be ashamed about. It’s such a shitty view.
I used to get irritated when I heard or saw things like that too, but now I just kind of chuckle internally because it’s just a really immature mentality and it won’t last long because being fifteen turns into being thirty way faster than they realize.
When I was a teen, I noticed something adults missed quite often, yet pointing it out before the fact would be ignored cause “adults are talking” and after the fact would get everyone pissed because “don’t be a smartass”.
Now I am faced with “In your age it’s yoo late to start learnin x” and “You still need more experience in life, kid”
People gotta dyscriminate on age or they’ll get stressed I guess. The worst case for me was a coworker that was like 2 years older, but the way I behave makes me seem younger I am so I got hit with both anti-young and anti-old banter by him X_x
I don’t get it. Judge opinion, idea or perfomance, not it’s source.
